I bought the pro series anti sway kit for our 5000lb horse trailer because the trailer would begin oscillating sometimes when speeds were higher than about 50mph. The damper kit solved the problem I drove it up to 75mph after installing the kit and adjusting the drag according to the instructions. Installation was easy and the instructions were great. The quality was excellent. All the pieces we're included.

Towed my travel trailer without an anti-sway device and when tractor trailers passed me the sway made me nervous. Installed this and towed my travel trailer, sway reduced immediately. Awesome product from Reese.

Towing my 19’ Jayco trailer with my Jeep Grand Cherokee without sway control was a bit of a challenge on the highway alongside tractor trailers. With a tongue weight of less than 300 lbs I didn’t need any load leveling assist so I opted for this economical solution. Mounting was straightforward and after a bit of adjustment to the tension, I was able to hit a happy point where the sway was virtually eliminated but the squeaking or groaning of the friction device at low speed was minimal. Highly recommend for trailers 3000 lbs and less.

After a year it continues to perform perfectly

Product has worked great so far. Easy to install. Great customer service and recommendations. Thank you etrailer! Used on 18' hybrid TT with 2"x3" A-frame.

Worked flawlessly on a few cross-country trips. Sold the trailer recently, the new owner should expect the same great performance.

I am glad that I bought this, I have only used it a few times since buying it, but I feel much more confident when towing my camper.
Comments
I love this product, have used it several times when towing my camper since I installed it. When installing it I had difficulty drilling through my camper frame until I bought the correct drill bit which then went through like butter. I love the stability and ease of mind it give me when I am towing my camper. Very well satisfied with this product!

The product may be good, but the price matching rules suck. If you price match a shipped product, you don't add additional shipping charges to that price. Thinking of returning the product based on principle.

So far the sway bar is working great. I can only assume that is doing what it is supposed to do, as I dont have any trailer sway issues.

If you already have a Pro Series weight distributing hitch (WDH) this is the stablilizer that goes with it and I am sure that it is acceptible for use with other manufacturers of WDHs. Installation is very easy following the single page of instructions; mark where you need to mount the plate on the trailer frame, drill six pilot holes, bolt the plate down and install the ball on the hitch and you are good to go. My Pro Series WDH came with one stabilizer, but after one long trip with high cross winds and heavily rutted roads I decided that I needed two stablilzers for my 32' long travel trailer as is reccomended here for any trailer over 26' length. These stabilizers, while simple in design, get the job done.
Comments
After one year of use and thousands of miles two stabilizers on a long trailer is the only way to go. Finding the correct amount of friction is still somewhat of a guessing game, but the units are still working great and making the task of towing such a long travel trailer much more manageable.

I can't say enough good things about this product! We have a large Coleman pop-up camper (3000lbs) that is miserable to tow. It's like putting a leash on a cat and walking it into the ocean. You could not tow it over 60 mph due to the horrible sway. I mounted this sway control kit on (not really expecting any miracles but hoping) and was blown away. Absolutely night and day difference! My pop-up tracks perfectly straight behind the vehicle and has Zero sway! I highly recommend this system for anyone with a pop-up camper or any smaller trailer that's having sway issues. For the price and ease of use, this thing can't be beat!

1 year later and it still works like a dream. This was by far the best money spent on a product. I never could have imagined what a major improvement it would make.

I have not used this yet, but everything looks well made and straightforward for installation. After I have used it I will add more to my review. If it works as everyone says, I'll give it 5 stars and add some pictures. I'm adding this to my current Reese WD/Sway control hitch.

This is my second Pro Series Friction Sway control I bought from etrailer, the first one is still good and in use on my Jayco camper. I bought a second one for my 1969 Yellowstone Camper 18S, it pulls great, but like how these work, so I thought it would better to have it, then not. With my Jayco it was all over the road, even when loaded right, these helped out great. They are easy to put on and off, the cost is really nothing, compared to being worried about the sway as you drive, it makes your trips more relaxing.
Comments
Thanks for following up, after using it now for a years time, with 17 camping trips and almost 3000 miles using it, it is still like new, working great, was a big help in South Dakota with the wind. For little money spent, a extra couple of minutes putting it on every time I hook up it has paid for itself. Just remember to clean the slide bar after it rains to remove any surface rust and I keep a little bit of grease on each ball and I always take it off when backing up so it does not bend on you. Would not leave home without it.

I purchased this sway control bar along with mounting bracket to mount on my RZR trailer that I pull behind my 26 ft bumper pull travel trailer. We get a lot of wind in Idaho and the light weight trailer would start to fishtail uncontrollably in high winds. Most of the other brackets for sway control devices either needed to be welded on my hitch or I would have to buy a totally new hitch with the bracket already attached. The sway control bar installed easily and the instructions were very easy to understand. The bracket installed easily and etrailer shipped fast so the problem was eliminated quickly. It worked so well that I purchased a second one for my travel trailer as well. Now I don't worry or hesitate to pull my camping train in the wind. Thanks etrailer and keep up the good work!!!

Has been in use for over a year and holding up well. I did have to mount it on the left side of the vehicle, due to a variety of issues, so the unit actually operates upside down from the photo. It makes no difference - it stills work fine. For what it's worth, my wife has no problem removing/installing the control. You do need to be prepared for the grease you will get on your hands from the clips that attach it. Fact of life.
Comments
No problems, but a few ideas. I installed a bracket on the side of the trailer frame, to the rear of the sway bar ball mount, so that we can just disconnect the control from the hitch ball, swing it rearwards and store it up out of the way. This means we dont have to remove and store the control while traveling and theres one less greasy pin to pull. Also discovered that the Curt Switch Ball Shank Cover covers the 1.25 ball on the hitch really well. I cut off the flared part of this cover and it works great.

I have been an etrailer consumer for years. When I need a solid product in rediculous timeframes, they deliver 100% each and everytime. They now fall under my 'No brainer' category. This sway bar was exactly what I needed to replace my stripped out bar. The super fast shipping kept my camping weekends on schedule. Thanks!!!!!

Hi. Txs for checking in. You guys are my only go to online trailer parts store. I have bought several products from you over past few years and have yet to have a disappointing moment! Fast shipping, excellent products. This sway control, follows suite. Easy setup, excellent trailering with no sways. And we’ve done trip from Delaware to Pa in heavy wind/rain with zero problems. So thanks again!

I installed this on the left side as recommend because of the length of my camper 32+ feet, Pro Series Friction Sway Control Kit . It stopped the sway in the trailer I'm still learning how much tension to apply
Comments
Did one help control sway or do you recommend having right and left friction control for longer travel trailers? I pull ours with a Tahoe.
-- comment by: Brooke - 09/20/2014Yes you can use 2 friction sway control bars to reduce sway. For a longer travel trailer you might also consider a full weight distribution system that uses integrated sway control. To determine which weight distribution system is right for your needs you will need to know the fully loaded tongue weight of the trailer when ready to tow.

Worked like a charm! I did find it easier, however to drill the first hole for my plate, install the first screw, and then drill the remaining holes using the plate to guide my bit, rather than trying to mark and tap the center of 4 holes at once as the instructions suggest.

Lots of bang for the buck. We tow our 3k Travel Trailer with only this sway controller. Apply the friction snugly and sway is almost eliminated . Simple to install with a drill and some hand tools. Easy to pop on and off. No you cannot backup with it.

This is the second product I have ordered from etrailer.com and not the last. When I order something in the morning I get it the next day. They are in the next state over but still very quick shipping. I purchased this because I have read that you should use 2 (one on each side) of these when pulling longer than a 26' tt. Mine is 32' and I have had a little sway with one. I do wish that the dealer I bought my TT from would of just spent a little more time and put 2 on in the first place. But I was able to get one fast from etrailer.com and now I feel confident that it will reduce the sway a bit more.

All items were received with the order. The order was quickly shipped and arrived quickly as well. My interaction with Customer Support was also much better than received from your competitors (basically I received no support from your competitors, I only received a form letter as a response to my questions). Installation was simple, although I broke/ stripped out 2 of the screws that hold the friction mount to the trailer (I would think that stronger screws would be included, but the problems were partially my fault as well). I am very satisfied with the products and service received from eTrailer.com. Thank you, dp

- How Can I Prevent Sway in my Trailer Without Moving the Load AroundIn your situation there will be no real difference in using a 2 or 4 inch drop hitch. With it being a smaller trailer you may consider adding a tool box to the tongue of it. I like the MaxxTow MaxxHaul Trailer Tongue Toolbox part # MT50122. This can not only help you store any straps, chocks or other items in it but allow you to add some weight to the tongue eliminating your sway issue. Adding a friction sway control system like the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit part # 83660 and...
view full answer... - Equipping 2019 Kia Sedona LX For Towing 3200 lb Pop-Up CamperYou can indeed use weight distribution with your 2019 Kia Sedona, and the hitches we offer for it are rated for use with weight distribution systems. First, let's make sure your Sedona is equipped for towing, if it isn't already. For a hitch, I'd recommend the Curt Class III, part # C13115. For a 4 pole trailer wiring harness, I'd go with # 118269 if the pop-up is NOT equipped with brakes or # TK24FR if it DOES have brakes. You'll also need a brake controller to actuate the trailer...
view full answer... - Question About a ProductIf you are not experiencing sag then you can start with just the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit part # 83660 and the Reese Sway-Control Bracket for 2" Ball Mounts part # RP26003. There is no good way to attach this other than welding to avoid putting holes in the frame. I know it is not much better. If this does not get the results you are looking for a weight distribution setup with built in sway control can be a very effective way to resolve it completely.
view full answer... - Are Any Other Parts Needed to Use Reese Friction Sway Control KitThat's a really good question, and there are only two things you will need in order to use the Reese sway control, which are the kit and a bracket that mounts to your ball mount. The bracket will allow the kit to mount to the included hitch ball. So what you will need are the following: - Reese Friction Sway Control Kit # 83660 - Reese Sway-Control Bracket for 2" Ball Mounts # RP26003 That would be all you need, and you are definitely right that using this sway control kit is a...

The ball mounts in one of the holes on the top ball mount plate and bare metal end of the sway control bar clips on the ball. The other end of the sway control bar can either be bolted or welded to the frame of the trailer.

It has an 8,000 lb towing and 800 lb tongue weight capacity and is a really good option for an economical way to ensure you have a level towing set up. While it will keep you level, it doesn't have sway control, so if you want the added benefit of a more controlled...

Keep in mind each kit does require drilling into the frame of the camper to mount the bracket.

A drill would be required for the self tapping screws that are included with this kit. If you don't have the sway ball mount for your receiver I recommend our Sway-Control Bracket # RP26003 as well.

This is because the tension they put on the tongue will limit the movement and effectiveness of the surge coupler (and thus your braking).

- How To Mount Two Friction Sway Control Bars On a Ball MountIn order to use two friction sway control bars like the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit part # 83660 you'd need to have two of the friction sway control tabs like the Weld-On Sway Control Tab part # C45822 welded to the ball mount. The other options would be to use the Curt Ball Mount part # D320 assuming it has the correct rise/drop for you needs and only have one friction sway control tab welded on.

If you have brakes on your trailer and power running to the 12V pin on your vehicle side 7-Way the Tuson # 335TSC-1000 is an option for you. It senses when your trailer starts to sway and activates the brakes on your trailer to counter the sway. A...
