I need to put a load control / equalizer / sway control unit on my pickup and trailer combination. I think a unit in the area of up to 1000 pounds tongue weight and a maximum of 10,000 pounds total load would work. This is for a travel trailer, but if I like it maybe I will adapt it to my tractor hauling trailers as well. I seem to have three that I like. One is the Blue Ox 1000#/10,000#. Sway bars are mounted to the main unit in bearings. Still uses chains at the trailer mount, but sort of mechanically ratchets the chain tight. Looks heavy duty and also controls sway. A second one is the Curt equalizer hitch. Again the sway bars are mounted in bearings at the main unit so they can move left and right, but the sway bars are somewhat clamped to the trailer rather than using the usual chains. I also like the brand "Original Equalizer" but they are very expensive ($400 used and $700 + depending on retailer). Anyone have any experience with either the Blue Ox or the Curt equalizers? Thanks.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
