Anti sway devices can be purchased just about
anywhere hitches can.
There are basically three types of anti sway
devices:
1. Friction bar. Attaches to frame of trailer and
to a second (smaller) ball on the ball mount. Cheep. Approx $100. works well.
not good in slippery conditions (but how often do you tow in snow or ice?). Bar
will wear over a number of years and need to be replaced.
2. Dual Cam. This is made only by Reese. It works
in conjunction with the equalizer bars. There is a part that bolts onto the
trailer's frame, and a part to modify the equalizer bars. A bit more expensive.
OK to use in all road conditions. Can be used with a friction bar. Approx cost
$200. Cams may wear out after many years of use.
3. A different type of hitch. PullRite and Hensley
are the two types that I am aware of. Most expensive option, $1000 plus. I would
only suggest this route if you want to do some serious towing and are not
satisfied with how the trailer handles using #'s 1 & 2.
