This works like it is supposed to. Can bearly feel the trailer behind me when towing. It is real easy to install. I think it took me about 25 - 30 minutes to do. Make sure you follow the directions to the letter. Word of warning...Do not ever back up with this hooked up. you will bend it. Get in the habit of removing it prior to backing up.

A sway bar control is a must and this one does the job beautifully. I chose to have both pieces welded vs. bolted. I loosened it when I was driving on the slower mountain roads because it makes a grinding sound when the bar is tightened. You know it's doing it's job when you hear it. I just drove across the San Mateo Bridge which is 10 miles over the San Francisco Bay, very windy, and my trailer handled beautifully.

I had driven a few hundred miles with our 2009 Ford F-150 pulling a 31' Ultralight TT and "it only swayed a little when a truck passed us". I installed this before heading to Alaska. I immediately noticed the beneficial effect. I'll never pull without one again! You are much more in control. On some of the roads we drove, it would have been very unsafe without the Camco 57521 RV Olympian Adjustable Sway Bar Control. I highly recommend it.

Total time on install was a little over an hour.This does require some welding and drilling.Tip: I did not use the bolts that were supplied with sway bar.I used 3/8"grade#5 bolts with flat and lock washers and nuts. Sway bar does a great job while pulling our pop up camper.

We have a 18 foot pop-up camper being pulled by a light-weight pick-up truck (Dodge Dakota). The sway bar works great and we have had no problems in any type of road conditions or weather.

This thing does a great job of killing the Death Wobble of my trailer.
If not for this thing I cannot drive with my camper any faster than 50MPH.
With this thing I can do the speed limit and take the blow-by of big rigs with ease.
No more death wobble to fear.

I purchased this at the same time as a load equalizing hitch. I wasn't sure I needed it as the trailer seemed to tow fine, but I thought it might be useful in high wind. After towing with the sway control installed, I plan to use it whenever I am towing. It seems to cancel out a lot of the small movements created by the trailer and makes the tow vehicle ride better and feel more stable. The only disadvantage I have found is that the sway control "groans" going around corners. This is one of those "that is just the way it works" situations, but it would be nice if it were quieter. It also adds another step to hitching up the trailer, but the sway control is very easy to install and remove. Overall, a worthwhile addition even for a trailer that tows well already.

put this sway bar on my pop up camper.it worked like it said.no more swaying.i dont really see how it works but it does.easy to instal.just have to have the arm welded on to your hitch receiver or u can buy an adapter that bolts on.well worth the $45 and the shiping was free.came in less than a week.amazon has great delevery..

all parts appear to be of good quality and function well - and at great savings over similar american made product $50 vs $250 - i believe in buying american but i dont believe in throwing money away

We bought a 29 foot trailer after hauling a 19 foot. During the first small trip the trailer was swaying all over the place. We purchased the Camco Adjustable Sway Bar Control. On our recent trip the sway was minimal and we believe with some adjustments (you have to get the right tension) it should be fine.
