A weight distributing hitch system provides a more stable tow vehicle/RV combination.
This system will spread the weight evenly to distribute it to the tow vehicle front and rear
axles and the trailer axle. Consult with your dealer to familiarize yourself with the
operation and requirements of the weight distributing hitch system. Be certain your tow
vehicle can carry the hitch weight.

Sway control devices are available to reduce the sway produced by crosswinds, air
displacement caused by other vehicles passing you in transit, incorrect weight distribution,
excessive speed, the RV tires dropping onto the shoulder of the road, etc. You will also
want to discuss this purchase with your Dealer.
The use of a sway control device will help to control the side-to-side movement and keep
sway in check.
Suggestions for sway situations:
Slowly ease your foot off the accelerator.
Turn the steering wheel as little as possible. Natural lag time reaction when counter-
steering to correct sway could possibly make it worse.
If the trailer is equipped with electric brakes, using the hand control will help to keep
the vehicles aligned.
As soon as possible, stop to determine the cause of the sway. Check all equipment
and load distribution. If the problem cannot be solved immediately, contact your
Dealer for a service appointment (travel at a much reduced speed on your way there).
