Dual Cam WD vs Std WD

Hi Guys,

Just curious how the Reese Dual Cam WD stacks up against the standard WD hitch.

Thanks
Mac

The Reese Dual Cam has a built-in anti-sway device (the Dual Cam). Appears to be very effective at keeping trailer sway down.

Thanks ferroequine, What do you use on your rig?

I dont want to sound cheap, I just want what I buy to work if you know what I mean. If the difference is small then I may opt for the regular WD, but if it in deed performs as advertised then I have no problem with it. Just getting others experiences.

$300 vs. $500, the extra $200 will buy alot of

It depends on what you are pulling behind you -- the larger the trailer, then typically the larger the chance of sway.

I'm using a Reese Dual Cam now. I started out with a friction anti sway bar (the trailer came with it), but it is easier to hook things up with the Dual Cam. The system uses the W/D spring bars as part of the setup, so once you hook up your bars, you're good to go.

It does work as advertised. With our rig, I wouldn't want to run it without an Anti-sway device of some sort, even though it is an Airstream, which are known to be exceptionally stable pullers. You never know when an emergency situation rears it's ugly head.
