Another WD Hitch question?

[Cadeuses]

Here comes another one of those questions for the experienced experts out there.

Does anyone have hand-on experience with the Husky brand of WD hitch? My RV dealer mentioned that he would supply a Husky round bar WD hitch included with our deal on the trailer. btw I am aware of a recall on the hitch bar shank.

As I had only ever used Reese equipment in the past, I don't have any knowlege if this is a good hitch or not. I did upgrade to the trunnion version of that hitch though, as I believe trunnion hitches provide superior strength and weight distribution with overall less weight in the hitch itself, compared to a round bar model.

The tongue weight of our trailer is 550lbs, so the model of hitch that was ordered is 07020. Here is a link to the hitch

Any and all comments welcome. Cheers.

Why not have the dealer upgrade you to the Reese Dual Cam HP so that you have WD and sway control. With the Husky, you will need a separate friction type sway control.

A lot of dealers do not like to get involved with a Dual Cam as it something different, but it is a great hitch and not all that hard to install.

The Husky Center-Line appears to be like the EqualiZer brand hitch and a lot of folks use them, but I still prefer the old Dual Cam by Reese.

If you like reese products, why change???? I too have seen husky at some of the dealers, but I would insist on providing exactly what you want, its your money.

Too Late...

I now have the trailer at home, with the Husky trunnion hitch. The hitch is based on the same design as the Reese, and as such, am satisfied that I will be Ok with this setup.

Thanks for the reply. Now to buy the new 3/4 ton to pull the trailer! Cheers.

A word of caution...the Husky is not equivalent to the Reese Dual Cam HP. Did you get a friction type sway control to use with the Husky? Or did you get the Husky Centerline which is OK.

It isn't the centerline hitch. I already had a friction antisway control arm, which I will mount oce I buy the truck to haul the trailer. Still a good WD hitch, just not a dual cam. Cheers.

I have the Husky round bar setup with the friction sway control systems. If the adjustments that I made a couple of days ago does change my towing issues...this Husky system will up for sale. I will then buy the Reese Dual Cam system.
