21BHE Just Ordered, Questions on Blue Ox Sway Pro
Just finished negotiations with the dealer on a 2021 Grand Design Imagine XLS 21BHE. Have read all of the threads on this site and some come close, but do not answer my questions. Has any installed a Blue Ox Sway Pro on this trailer? Any issues or interference with the clamp on mount? What weight bars did you use? I see most people stating that they have not seen a tongue weight greater than 1000#, the 1000 is designed for 750# to 1000# so I am heading towards getting this one, but would like to hear from someone that has actually used it on a 21BHE, with comments on how it has performed. There are many threads on this forum about the Sway Pro, and they are very positive, just nothing specific to this trailer. I will be towing with a Ram, 5.7l hemi e, with 11300# towing capacity and plenty of tongue weight room for this trailer. Any and all comments are greatly appreciated, as this is our first TT. Have previously only towed utility trailers, although one was a 6X12 pulled with a Subaru, no issues. I am sure that I will be posting additional questions here as they come up, but it seems that most have already been answered here. Thanks.

I pull a 2020 21bhe with a 2019 Chevy Colorado and use a Husky Centerline TS hitch. I live near Elkhart IN and rather than getting a hitch from the GD dealer I went to a hitch shop there that is used by delivery haulers from all over the country. Even though they also sell Blue Ox they recommended the Husky and I have been very satisfied with it. Have not experienced any issues with sway so far. Plus it's considerably less expensive than the Blue Ox.
This is the one they installed

Like others said, you shouldn't have any issues with the brackets. You might have to move the lp tanks but that's easily accomplished. We went with the Husky Center Line and it works as advertised but is a little noisy in slow turns. For that reason, I'd recommend the Blue Ox. Husky, Blue Ox and Anderson are all great wdh.

The blue ox uses chains and they move side to side. Something like the equalizer hitch the bars use friction it may be a little bit noisy but keeps it under control that’s what the dealer told me anyways. The 4 point equalizer is what I’m getting installed.

We’ve got a Blue Ox Track Pro hitch (the one with the bars), and pull a 23BHE, and it works great. That said, the Keep Your Daydream folks use the Sway Pro model (the one with chains), and they’re pulling an Airstream with an F-250. It will surely be fine for your 21BHE.
