Best WD / Sway hitch for 22RBE
I'm buying a 2022 RBE and need to get a weight distribution with sway control for my 2021 Ram 1500. What's the best option for this combo?
Thanks
Corky

Pick one. They are all good
Just depends on price and availability
Husky
Equalizer
Blue ox
Andersen
I will say I have a Husky now and had an equalizer on my last trailer and wish I had an equalizer on this one
I find the bars more difficult to engage than the equalizer but I am rarely hooked up anyway so it doesn’t bother me
We tow generally to one area and then just switch sites while there so I don’t use the wdh

The 4 that @NB Canada are good reputable wdh reasonably priced. I also have the Husky and it works as advertised. It is a little noisy in slow tight turns but that is to expected of friction bars. I might change it for the Anderson. No bars and real real light. Most wdh will weight in at 100 + lbs. The Anderson is 60.

Thanks for the reply's.
My dealer mentioned the ReCurve R3 Weight Distribution Hitch as well as the E2. I don't think he has the Blue ox.

I personally would stay away from the Recurve R3. I remembered someone talking on a forum, and confirmed (https://978dd75e-9204-4738-9543-aed2...07da01283e.pdf) in the instructions, they say to disable your vehicles sway control when using the hitch. Not sure why they say that, and something I am not in agreement with.
Before I went with a 5th wheel, I had a Husky Centerline WDH. Used it for around 20K miles, and was happy with it. About the only negative thing was, after about 10K miles, it was noisy at slow speeds.2023 Chevy 3500HD CC SB 4x4 Dmax

Others have noted that there is a lot of commonality between brands and models, and they often have opinions on differences between weight distribution and sway bar hitches. Here is a site that describes the differences https://thecampingnerd.com/weight-di...-sway-control/.
A couple of campers ago we had the sliding bar style sway control on a smaller camper. That was pretty easy to connect and seemed to do it's job fairly well. Later, we bought a slightly bigger camper and after the deal was signed, the salesmen came out to help us hook up and saw what we had. Although the weight rating of the unit we had was documented as sufficient for the new camper, the salesman stated there was no way he was going to let us drive off the lot with it. He threw in a Blue Ox SwayPro system with the chain style of connection at no charge. He obviously felt strongly enough about it to give up margin, although I still joke I must not have done a very good job of negotiating if they threw in a model that retailed for $800 in their store. Later when we bought our current bigger camper, they looked at what we had and stated it was exactly what they would have sold us if we didn't have one.Timmer

Thanks for all the replies!
I was narrowing down the selection and keep coming back to either Equal-i-zer or Blue Ox SwayPro. I do plan on long distance traveling and my first trip will be in December from Tennessee to SoCal so I will probably see storms and cold weather but hopefully not snow and ice. I plan to take the southern route I-10 for the most part. So finding a hitch that will be reliable and safe is important to me.
