Can Trailer Be Backed Up While Connected to Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution
Question:
can you back up with a Reese 49912 Integrated Sway Control Weight Distribution Kit? Have a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder.
asked by: John
Expert Reply:
Technically since the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w Sway Control # RE94FR doesn't have that old school friction sway control bar, like what we see with part # 17200, you can back up but only in a straight line.
Realistically though you'll want to disconnect any kind of weight distribution system when you back up. Typically when people are backing a trailer up it's to park it at the campsite, at home, or in storage so you need a tighter turning radius and the arms of a weight distribution system will fall off at really tight turns.
