The slide plates should not be greased in any way.
Your trailer's length and weight, as well as your weight distribution system, will determine this. With my Eaz Lift, I use two (R and L), but my travel trailer is a 30 foot long toy hauler that weighs 9000 pounds. For travel trailers that weigh between 6000 and 7000 pounds, two bars are recommended. However, before deciding to add a second friction bar, make sure your weight distribution is correct. Even after adding the bar to an improperly adjusted system, sway will remain.
The plate is approximately 4 inches in diameter. 5 in. wide x 7. 5 inches in length For your convenience, the EAZ lift part number for just the plate is 48388. Best wishes to you.
It must be at least 24" in length.
Selected User Reviews For EAZ LIFT 0224.2014 Screw-On Sway Control, Right-Mounted Passenger Side (48380)
The RV vendor provided us with one sway control. I thought I'd give it a shot after reading about the need for a second sway bar on longer or heavier trailers. With the second sway bar, towing becomes a completely different experience. I wish I had purchased the left-hand side, but I simply turned it upside down and the only difference is the cotter pin hole pattern and the sticker. Aside from that, everything is great.
NORMAL. It's a whole lot easier to tow a large enclosed wind sail with my V8 Pathfinder. Consider adding one of these to your towing arsenal if you have any problems with trailer sway. On those particularly "Windy" days, your wife will thank you for not forcing her to scrub the crap out of your drawers. Second, driving without being pushed all over the road is a lot less stressful now, and it will be even less stressful in 2020. Well. We could all benefit from a reduction in stress levels.
We bought our first travel trailer, and our first few trips were hampered by strong winds. The trailer suffered a lot of damage. I searched for an answer and came across this. It's not difficult to set up, but you'll need two bits to do so. My bit was completely dull by the time I got to the last few holes. I needed to go out and get a replacement. Now on a 3000 mile journey through heavy winds, this bar has proven to be a lifesaver. If we hadn't had it, I'm sure my wife would have flown home. You still have some sway, but it's in check. When we get home, we may put one on the opposite side.
Would have given 5 stars if the right side model didn't come with the tab that you have to weld onto the hitch for some reason. Still very pleased with this; I'm towing an 18-foot camper behind a FJ Cruiser with a 2-inch lift, and this setup felt a little shaky at speeds above 50 mph. It makes a creaking sound when making turns, but we only use it at highway speeds and loosen it up when we're in towns or out in the boonies.
It was only a 2-hour drive, but after driving the camper locally, I discovered it had a lot of sway, even for its size, and I didn't feel comfortable driving that far without some sort of sway control. After you've installed this product and driven the 4-mile distance, This thing was amazing. It took me 5 hours round trip at one point, and I had to navigate city traffic. It improved the camper's maneuverability and reduced sway, but only by about 80 percent. 90%. It was simple to put together, though there were no instructions for adding the coder pins, which I thought was ridiculous. Without the picture on the front of the box, no one would know where they went, rendering the device useless. Apart from that, it was well worth the price, which I thought was very reasonable.
For my 24' Toyhauler, I already had a passenger side sway control, but I needed one as well. Rather than using screws to attach the plate to the tongue, I welded it to it. I removed the male piece and flipped it over to make this a driver side sway. It now acts as a sway control on the driver's side. I was able to save $30 by not having to purchase the more expensive driver's side one. Having a second sway bar removed the sway I was experiencing when driving at highway speeds with the trailer fully loaded.
I spent $52 and it was the best $52 I've ever spent. It took a lot of the nastiness out of pulling our 33-foot trailer. camper. Even my wife is willing to drive now, as long as I relax and let her; I haven't driven in a particularly strong wind yet, but I expect it to be as wonderful as it can be. I did have to pay a mile per gallon fee. Because the camper pulls so well, I find myself putting my foot in it more often.
It appears to be in good working order; I took the trailer camping and drove 120 miles without incident this past weekend. At low speeds, there is a small amount of noise, but it is not bothersome. One commentator put it this way: It's similar to insurance in that you don't realize you need it until you do, at which point it's too late if you don't have it. With the Eaz-On hitch, it's simple to install on an existing hitch. Adapter for lifting the sway control. One caveat: I bought my trailer, a one-year-old used one, with the ball already welded to the trailer tongue - I am extremely fortunate.
