Stop trailer sway before it begins with this dual-cam sway control. Cams lock in place on either side of trailer to supply consistent pressure, helping to prevent and correct sway. Works with weight-distribution systems with cam-style spring bars.
Features:
Note: Dual-cam sway control cannot be use with surge-type trailer brakes and is designed for Class III, Class IV and Class V hitches only.
Reese's dual-cam sway-control system stops trailer sway before it begins. This is a significant improvement over traditional friction-style controls, which help to correct sway only after it has already begun. This specially designed system uses unique sliding devices called "cams" to suspend the spring bars of your weight-distribution system. One end of a cam bolts onto your trailer's frame, and the other end attaches to the lift bracket via the lift chain. This type of sway control is compatible only with cam-style weight-distribution systems. The spring bars of these systems are designed with rounded, hooked ends that sit in the cams. The controlled placement of the spring bars keeps your system secure while still allowing enough movement for free, easy interaction between your trailer and your tow vehicle.
During basic, straight-line towing, the cams lock in place and hold the trailer steady by applying constant, consistent pressure to both sides. This keeps the trailer from swaying in crosswinds. When you go into a turn, the cams unlock and slide to allow a controlled, full-radius maneuver. If you swerve suddenly, the cams will give to accommodate the movement while still working to obtain a straight angle, thereby maintaining control of the trailer.

Today we'll reviewing part number RP26002. This is Reese Dual Cam High Performance Weight Control System. This weight control is going to attach to the Reese Weight Distribution Spring Bars, which are sold separately. That's going to be on both sides of your trailer. This is going to apply constant, even pressure to keep the trailer in line, and it works only with cam-style bars, either round or trunnion bars. This system is going to automatically adjust and self-center to control the sway in a variety of situations. If you're going in straight line movement, the cams actually lock into position to hold the trailer steady despite crosswinds.
When you're going around corners the cams are automatically going to unlock and slide to allow full radius turns. If you ever come into a situation where you need to make a sudden swerve, the cams actually seek a straight line angle to help stabilize the trailer. This is a simple bolt-on installation for a-frame trailers. You just want to make sure that your trailer frame width does not exceed 2-1/2". Right here on each bracket you're going to see that you have two holes upfront and one hole in the back. The distance between those holes, center on center, is going to measure 4-1/2" here on the front face of the bracket.
Another great thing about this mounting system is that it's not going to interfere with the items already mounted to your trailer frame, such as gas tanks or toolboxes. If you have a generator mounted it's not going to interfere with those. You do want to keep in mind that the dual cam sway control cannot be used with surge-type trailer brakes, and this is going to be designed for class three, class four, and class five hitches only. Pretty simple system to use. Everything that you need for the installation is included, and then this portion right here just fits over the end part, the end connection point. It's going to sit like that. This is where the arms from the weight distribution system is actually going to sit. Again, it's a very safe system to use.
The function of it is very simple and the installation is pretty simple as well. That's going to do it for our review of part number RP26002. This is the Reese Dual Cam High Performance Weight Control System. .

Replacement arms are shorter than the original and I had to adjust the locking nuts almost to the end of the bar. I talked to dealer later and was informed that these were the only bars currently made. They do work and I have not had a problem with them. Only have about 2000 miles at this time on them. 445491
Sorry for the long review. Purchased these as an addition to our Reese high performance weight distribution hitch. I was previously using friction sway control with our previous trailer, which was much smaller (by 10ft) and much lighter. Our new trailer is 36', 8,600lbs with a 950lb hitch weight. The tow vehicle is a 2016 F150 Lariat super crew with max tow. After towing the new trailer one time with friction sway control, I needed something else. Since we already had the hitch, I figured I'd try this instead of purchasing a new system. The dealer installed the kit as I was there for warranty work already. Towing the trailer home, the sway on the freeway was terrible. After doing a ton of research online, and various forums, I found dealers typically never put the time into setting this system up correctly, which I found is key for proper operation. I went through the complete setup with the hitch, and then the dual cam system myself (as I didn't trust the dealer who also originally set up the hitch as well). The instructions are a bit vague on setup, especially chain links from the cam to the snap up bracket under tension, which the forums helped greatly with. The dealer set this up to have 4 links under tension, when I found you need 5 at the minimum. Also found the 3/4 cam pivot nut not tightened anywhere close to 35ft/lbs. After setting this system up correctly, there is virtually no sway at freeway speeds. Moral of the story is that the setup is pretty tedious (took about 2 hrs), but once done, the system works great! 382508
I had a friction type on my 30 foot trailer that the rv dealer put on , then found out after doing some research that it is not enough for a trailer that large or of that weight !!!! Great rv dealer 30 years in this and they know enough to be dangerous !!! So took it off put this on and took it out on the hwy , Great !!!! So much better !!! took a little while to set it all up but worth it ! 83773
A difference you can feel... After trading our old camper, towing the new one home was a scary experience. I read tons of reviews about different sway control devices and decided on the dual cam. As we pulled on the highway for our first trip, I was a little nervous as I saw the first tractor trailer coming to pass me. To my amazement, no sway!! My truck and trailer did move over a little but it was together and without sway. Nothing can substitute for a properly loaded trailer and adequate tow vehicle but the dual cam is a great supplement. Installation was fairly easy with basic tools (ratchet, wrench, tape measure and drill) and etrailer.com has several videos that complimented the instructions very well. Their customer service is the best in ecommerce; plenty of communication and always available if needed. Thanks for making our vacations a little more relaxing!! 111702
I wouldnt tow without it it makes that much of a difference. It is a bit of a hassle to disconnect for backing into tight spaces but otherwise I LOVE it! I towed our 28 camper to the NC coast last July 4th with an approaching hurricane and felt very safe. Dont get me wrong, we were pushed quite a bit but no sway. My neighbor went with 2 friction units and wasnt happy with the results.
Mike - 01/02/2015The etrailer web site is easy to use and informative! I buy my needs here the service is prompt and fast Thank you 629073
We are replacing part of our Reese hitch that was showing wear. The replacement parts are original equipment and came with a good installation manual. 629019
Just what I ordered,received fast and damage free shipping.Part of my order was delayed because product was out of stock,etrailer customer service called me to inform me about the delay in shipping,most companies now days would not do that.Another great order,will be ordering more items from etrailer when needed. 588651
These were easy to install and work great with my existing weight distribution hitch. Pulled the camper 300 miles this week. The sway control worked great! No more white knuckle driving on the steering wheel and slowing down. I was able to maintain the speed limit and relax while towing! 585227
I have been using this system for five years. I’m pleased with their performance and durability. I always get better customer service from E-trailer then any other Internet business I have been involved with. Always my first choice. 583337
Installed these replacement parts. The diameter of the cam is a little smaller than originals, but they seem to work just as good. I went out and realigned the parts as suggested, and it wasn't nearly as hard as the first time. LOL Since the original larger size cams are no longer available I would recommend these. 575517
Quality product delivered promptly at a great price. 563237
Just as advertised. Prompt arrival, packaged well and etrailer service, followup, etc. was excellent! Needed to add anti-sway to a new, longer trailer that has a tendency to sway. Have not used it in gusty winds yet but seems to work fine with passing vehicles. 555278
These did the trick 517659

All very good quality with good installation instructions. 496248
The Reese Dual cam sway control parts I ordered were to replace damaged original cams. I was very pleased that ETRAILER had them in stock and I received the new parts in less than a week. I would highly recommend ETRAILER for any Items needed for your RV. 494050
I have this on my 35' bumper pull and it makes it a lot nicer to pull. 488061
Exactly as advertised. Along with the etrailer video I installed the cams shortly after they arrived. 486139
this looks like a great product and it should work.Ive installed the dual cam system on our travel trailer and that was a breeze for an old stepper, But havent had the trailer out yet to check it out.Come on spring time ! 479205
This ITEM WORKS PERFECT! 466181
Easy install. Work as Advertised. Great product. 463819
The product was exactly what I ordered. Was very nervous about receiving the product in a timely manner as I needed to move the camper right away. All three Representatives that I had dealt with at etrailer went above and beyond to make sure everything went smooth for me. I would definitely use etrailer again in the future for my camper needs. Thank you Madison, Chelsea, Reesa. 439860
The folks at etrailer went way out of their way to contact the manufacturer to verify that this item would be compatible with my current equipment. Delivery was prompt and the product was as described. I have not had the opportunity to install it yet, or try it on the road,. but I am pleased so far. 435754
After I nstalling the Reese DualCam system, my trailer was much easier to tow, but I discovered that my spring bars were way too light. Tongue weight was 900, spring bars were rated at 750. Once again, the folks at etrailer.com stepped up and helped me resolve the situation. Now Im towing my 25 Airstream effortlessly with no sway whatsoever, using the Reese DualCam with 1200 spring bars.
Allen K - 09/23/2018This product made a tremendous difference in towing my trailer. Installation was easy, and took about three hours total after making sure it was set up properly. 422895
Still works great! It has taken some fine tuning, but I couldn’t be happier with this product.
Sal P - 08/20/2018I've purchased a few things from etrailer and have never had anything to complain about. Or should I say they have always met or bettered what my expectations are. They sell the best equipment around at fare prices. They use ups which is on time every time and no complaints from me. Thanks everyone 410983
I have not installed this yet on my trailer but a friend of mine had them on his and it works really well. I went to this product because I have the old Reese dual cam and it lasted through for trailers and 40 years. I had one of the arms been on me. I might have done something wrong or could be metal fatigue in any rate I wanted these dual cam and I sway product. 408978
This is the best anti-sway distribution system that there is. Ive been in heavy winds and my trailer does not sway at all.
Ken C - 07/21/2018They done the job ,that I needed. 400805

Works great 353204
Installed these on a 33 foot toy hauler that I tow with a 2012 Ram 1500. The combined gross wt. is around 13,000LBS. There is virtually no sway at speeds from 0 to 70 MPH. Excellent product. 349349
I received excellent assistance when contacting etrailer by phone, trying to determine the correct piece-items needed for my new trailer, to replace the parts for my Reese Sway-Control/Wt Distribution system that I "lost" when selling my old trailer. they were polite, patient and helpful. This hardware set, as well as the Lift brackets and Dual-sway Cams were as heavy-duty as needed (as described) and will be putting them onto my new trailer as soon as I pick, it up. 345635
Takes time to adjust, but well worth the effort! Best hitch I have ever had; bought my first trailer in 1968. This has hitch was used for a return trip from California to Alaska return. Easy pulling. 333783
Super quick free delivery!! Every thing looks in good condition. Will buy from you again when I need quality trailer parts! 306745

The product was received exactly as ordered and on time. All of the parts that are supposed to be supplied with item were there and look to be of very high quality. Product has not been installed yet, but I look forward to doing so and hope it works as intended. 297052
I wouldnt tow my trailer without the dual cam sway control installed. This product works exactly as advertised. When we got our 32 trailer all it had was the weight distribution hitch. After a trip to Myrtle Beach, which was two handed white knuckle holy terror for 7 hours each way, I knew I had to do something about the sway. I looked around at various systems available and decided on the dual cam setup as being most likely to provide the sway control I was looking for. After installing this system and getting it adjusted correctly this is key to proper operation, towing is a breeze now, sway is gone and I now have control of my trailer with confidence. We have gone on five trips this year of varying length, all with no sway issues due to large trucks or wind. Driving is so much more pleasurable now.
Mike S - 09/21/2017We installed this on a 20' enclosed trailer, along with the Reese HD distribution kit. Everything arrived promptly. Instructions and installation were simple. We are extremely pleased with the way the trailer tows after installing. Great product. 297600
EXCELLENT CUSTOMER RELATIONS MORE IMPORTANTELY VERY THOROUGH PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS AND GREAT PRODUCT VARIETY 256211
I installed this last year and had to do some modifications because my battery tray area angle iron was in the way. After changing that the rest of the installation went ok. Setting the bars to the mounts took a few movements of towing and checking to make sure they settled in correctly. Our first trip out was in a very windy storm and I didn't have faith in them, but the wind was so bad it wasn't a good test. They did work but fighting the wind and rain was like driving through a tornado. The rest of the trip after that was great and they did the job no sway. 252265
Very pleased with this system, we tow longer distances and it works great. Would not want to go back to the old style friction type.
Edward - 05/29/2017used reese sway control years ago and still love them 248086
High quality. Assembly to trailer was a little tricky to get angles correct. 243898
After one year of use, product performing well. Good quality, great service.
Rob B - 04/12/2017I purchased your weight distribution system for my camper last year 2015. We purchased a new camper and the system that I had for my other camper just didn't cut it. The camper was longer and a bit heavier, but the old system I had didn't stop the sway, and it was not comfortable pulling it. So started looking into systems that would help stop the sway. I went to etrailer.com, and found this product that worked with the distribution system I had. I called them and asked if this would indeed work to stop the sway. They made sure I had picked the right model to work with the one I had, and then told me that this was the best system out there. I watched their installation video, that was very helpful, and proceeded to install it. When I took it out for the first time, I couldn't believe it. The sway completely disappeared, and my comfort level went right back up to the top, along with the safety factor! Even when it's windy or a semi passes, it vertually stops the sway! I can't say enough about the product and the support from this company. I guess that is why they are in the business, and are the top rated! Thank you etrailer!! Greg H. ,Wisconsin 243545
Fast shipping and great price from Etrailer. I love the dual cam system. Trailer sway is nearly eliminated with this system. Much better than the friction bars that I had on my trailer. My favorite thing about this system is that you don't have to disconnect anything before backing the trailer up. 239126
