Is anyone using the Weigh Safe Weight Distribution Hitch? It's expensive but I like the fact that you can get your actual tongue weight and accurately distribute the weight from your tongue to the front axle and trailer axle. I would appreciate any input from those of you who have used this setup. Thanks!

I purchased one shortly after my post. Only towed with it once but it eliminates sway and about 90% of the squat I was experiencing before the install. Very happy with it so far. Have you backed up with it yet? Wonder how it performs with sharp turns. The site on our first trip was a pull through.

I installed one on my rig. Only towed with it a couple of times. It did eliminate sway almost completely. Still tweaking the safety chain length and issues with clearance getting in my driveway as the bar supports are hitting the ground. Overall pleased with purchase.

The website says you can back up with it but doesn’t recommend doing it over grade changes. I’ve had other cheaper trailer away devices. I generally take them off as soon as I’m in the campground (usually while my wife is checking us in). They tend to squeak & squeal a bit when you make lots of sharp turns or turn while backing up.
