Pete,
I read that treatise on hitching a few days ago when you or someone else posted
the URL. Just went back and read it again. :-) That is about a "must read" for
anyone who is towing a trailer.

I'm convinced that the anti-sway device is necessary, my only question now is
how tight to crank it down after hitching up. Too tight strains things, but too
loose might not get the job done.
