Re: Looking to Buy a Camper Trailer

I've been towing campers for 40 years. Anything over 3500 will have brakes. I use the Reese dual cam sway control its acts as a sway/ weight distributing hitch . The friction type in my opinion dont work well. If you get some sway it's best to keep your foot on the gas and manually hit the trailer brakes . The drag will usually straighten the rig out but even the most experienced operator can run into trouble watched a freinds rig roll on its side coming back from South Carolina. No one got hurt but the tow vehicle and rig were totalled.

Also keep an eye on the weight you put in the rig most people just throw stuff in and go not realizing that they are overloaded.
