Electric Brakes and Sway bars.. Where?

I'm towing a 15' TT with a max weight of 2700Lb with a 2007 Tahoe. Can I get sway bars without a WD hitch? The WD hitch just seems quite heavy duty for my needs but I could be wrong. Also I would like to get trailer brakes installed on my Tahoe. The dealer said the trailer is ready for them. So my question is where can I get these things installed?

Since you're in the Houston area, you have quite a few options:

1. Most RV dealers can set up your hitch and brake controller - I'm assuming your Tahoe has the trailer tow package with a receiver and 7-pin trailer plug receptacle pre-installed.

2. A hitch shop like Discount Hitch.

3. A trailer shop like Trailer Wheel & Frame.

3. Camping World in Katy.

At a minimum, I'd insist on a Tekonsha Prodigy brake controller or better. I'll let the "bumper towers" respond to the weight distributing hitch and sway control portion of your question.

I don't know the capacity of your Tahoe but my experience has been even with a TV with enough capacity to not need WD bars they stiffened up the unit so it handled better. It's more like one unit instead of a snake with a joint in the middle.
