Used to reduce trailer sway and improve handling in adverse towing conditions. Unit dampens trailer sway caused by crosswinds and traffic for improved stability and increased towing safety.Worked great with my 2500 lb pop-up camper on windy drive through SD. Quick recovery when passed by trucks. Also helped keep steady in steep and winding roads. Worked as expected.
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.
Lucille P - 03/23/2021Towing 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.
Vic L - 08/04/2020I 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.
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.
Unparalleled excellence, etrailer’s continued customer support after the sale is why they should be everyone’s go to source for trailer parts and accessories.
Purchased from etrailer super fast delivery and great price. Easy install. Excellent customer service, communication, and follow-up. Will use etrailer for my source of other needed products in the future.
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.
Matt - 06/21/2017I 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!
J.P. - 07/03/2018All products over the years I’ve purchased from etrailers they always fit, there good quality, fast service there wiring products are great I just have no complaint
Bill A - 08/07/2020Not home to receive, out of town and neighbor got it for us. Have to tell you, not expected till Wednesday, the 19th. Very fast service!! Kudos
Big fan of sway bars and wouldn't hit the highway without them. A swaying 25 foot trailer at 65 MPH is a recipe for disaster. Been there, done that. Easy to install and worth every penny. I did some welding on the mount and installed two; one on each side.
We are very pleased with this sway bar. It seems to be strong, well made and built to last. Works perfectly on our older trailer hitch. This company shipped amazingly fast! Everything was packaged well too. Very impressed and will definitely be buying from them again, for our trailer needs.
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!!!
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.
Steven - 06/25/2016Best accessory I have purchased for our 21 foot travel trailer. Trailer is light enough I don't need weight distribution control, just needed sway control and this did the trick. Easy to attach, easy to adjust, very effective. Would highly recommend if you only need sway control.
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!!!!!
John - 10/01/2018I've been using this sway control friction brake for the past year with no issues. It really helped with camper sway when turning off uneven driveways as well as when tractor trailer's pass at 70mph. It was easy enough to install and works as described. Hard to beat the price.
Excellent product, works well, easy install and hookup.
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
Yes 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.

Rachael H - 9/22/2014Has 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.

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.
Salesman reviewed all to my satisfaction. Product delivered as ordered.
