This is not a how to install a Equal-i-zer 4 Way Sway Control Weight Distribution Hitch video. It is more of a how we installed our Equalizer hitch onto our RV. Along with a few tips and things we learned along the way. The trailer hitch is rated for 1200 pounds of tongue weight or 12000 pounds total trailer weight. We actually installed the Equalizer the day before our first RV trip in our travel trailer and figured we’d show you how it went. This is a Equal-i-zer 12000lb 4 way sway control hitch. Model # 90-00-1200

Love the video and the great tips!
For future reference, just about any truck stop with a tire shop has a torque wrench big enough for those higher torque values. I set up my equalizer hitch in the parking lot and then they tightened up the big bolts for me. Of course I asked them first if I could use the lot and if they could torque the bolts for me.
Tractor Supply has in the store a 1 7/8" socket that will fit with 3/4" drive. It cost me $10.49. The socket is made by JOBSMART.
Another great video
After using the hitch are you still happy with its operation? Any issues with sway? How much of a hassle is it to disconnect the weight distribution bars before backing up? I am in the market and am trying to gather all the info I can. Like your channel and your honesty.
What's with the offset toung jack?
I made an error on my post earlier I meant to say a TT has NO stairs inside..:
Love your camper, Open Range are probably my favourite of all campers. Great quality built into them. And I really Love ❤️ your RAM 3500, I drive a RAM 1500 diesel and will eventually go up to a 2500 diesel. I want to ask why you chose a Travel Trailer over a 5th wheel model. I To prefer a TT model because its got stairs inside but also because they are lighter and offer less drag when towing behind saving you fuel not to mention they are sleeker looking and less bulky to look at. But 5th wheelers do tow better, so what was the reason for your choice of a TT over a fiver.. thanks
Just ordered my Equilizer yesterday, thanks for the videos. May have to call yall for some help in my setup.
Real nice rig!
I love the WD system for it includes sway control, and after several camps, I found it easier to setup and take off. But what's made me sad is the RV dealer install the hitch ball incorrectly and lower than coupler, now I have to reverse the shank and raise the height.
Pay a lot for that set of sockets to install your hitch ball~
What is your hitch weight for that size of unit?
Totally agree on the ball; I ended up going to Camping World to have them install the ball.
Love My Equalizer Hitch. Well Made Product!!
Great addition!
At 6:06 in your video it sure looks like the trailer is nose down from that shot…… You might try and find a level parking lot and with everything hooked up check that your truck is setting level and the trailer is setting level with having the nose high or low is the best……… But with your 1ton and that light trailer my guess is you really don't need the equalizer hitch at all. One thing you might think about getting is a "sway bar". They really help with trailer sway and are really cheap to buy also……….
Very nice set up.
