Bolt On High Performance Dual Cam Sway Control by Draw-Tite and Reese

• Patented Cam Design
• Self-Adjusting Design - Fully Automatic and Self-Centering
• Attaches Directly to Round or Trunnion Spring Bars
• Bolts-On for Easy Installation
  • Width of frame cannot exceed 2-1/2"
• Mounting System Will Not Interfere with Gas Bottles and Other Components Mounted on the Trailer (No U-bolts)

Note: Sway controls are to be used with Class III & IV hitches only. Do not use with Class I or II hitches. Cannot be used with surge brakes.

Note: Draw-Tite recommends that this product be used only with the weight distribution spring bars that have the integrated cam on them (these bars curve down where they connect to the chain). Use of the straight spring bars with the cam adapter is not recommended. For replacement spring bars with the integrated cam see 3329 for the round bar style or 6666 for trunnion style bars.

Unlike the friction sway control, the dual cam approach works to control sway from the start rather than just resisting sway once it has begun. When towing in a straight line, the cams on either side of the trailer A-frame are locked in position. This essentially creates a "rigid" connection between tow vehicle and trailer and minimizes the effects of induced sway caused by high cross-winds or passing vehicles.

Even on fairly sharp curves, the cams usually ride in a locked position. However, when cornering maneuvers are required, the cams automatically slide out of their locked position to permit full radius turns. When the maneuver is short and abrupt, like that encounterd in the event of a sudden swerve, the cams seek a straight-line towing angle that helps the tow vehicle retain control.

The advantage of the dual cam system is its ability to prevent sway in addition to providing resistance against it. The dual cams work to hold down the start of swaying activity while at the same time allowing free and easy vehicle and trailer interaction. Because the dual cams are installed on the trailer, the system does not require adjustment every time the tow vehicle and the trialer are hooked up, unless the hitch wieght or tow vehicle loading change.
