    Why does it seems like WD hitch are common for RV. But not common for other trailers?

    • @blueoxproducts
      @blueoxproducts Před 2 měsíci

      Weight distribution (WD) hitches are popular for RVs as they redistribute heavy loads to enhance towing safety and stability. It is crucial for managing the larger, heavier RVs at high speeds or in windy conditions. However, they can be used with any trailer to improve control and handling, making them versatile for various towing needs.

  • @1skull
    @1skull Před 4 měsíci

    No…unless you have some sort of driveline disconnect. The tow bar results in all 4 wheels rolling. Even if you put your automatic in neutral, your transmission will be destroyed because the lubrication pump is not circulating the ATF fluid to all the parts your forcing to spin by pulling it on the road. Now if you wanted to leave your engine running in neutral while you tow… you might be ok… please don’t do that.

    This is a great video, very complete. As I get ready to tow and travel for the first time my question is, what happens when you have a 1,000 pound load in the truck? Do you have to go through the leveling process again? Clearly the load will cause a dip in the level of where "perfectly level" load is, I am curious if this becomes an ongoing issue?

  • @cornbrains
    @cornbrains Před 11 měsíci

    I was a little bit nervous after reading people saying it's semi-dangerous when releasing the tension. As long as you jack the truck/trailer after they are connected as high as reasonably possible, I don't see how anyone could think the tension is much to deal with using the included bar. Common sense here, but also position the bar in such a way that if it does kick on you for some reason it will throw itself on the ground, not into your face. I found it extremely easy and safe.

    I absoutely love our BO Sway Pro. My only minor complaint was the small/hazardous wrench that came with mine. I use breaker bar with a socket anyway. A quick tip if you misplace the wrench... block about 6" under the jack and get the rear tires right off the ground (chock fronts and use parking brake). Once you take that entire load off the bars, you can remove bats/chains or put them on with bare hands. I've done it many times - actually about 3hrs ago to show it can be done safely. 1000lb bars with 30ft TT.

    Question: If I connect the 10 or 11 chain link instead of the recommended 9 chain link,, does it take additional weight off the rear axle of the tow vehicle and distribute more of the weight to the trailer axles?

    • @Bartsnightmare
      @Bartsnightmare Před 16 dny

      Yes more pressure on the front of the tow vehicle and trailer. But you also put more stress on the trailer frame it’s a trade off. Blue Ox may correct me if I have misspoken.

    I’ve got the under frame hitch. Didn’t realize that until going to pick it up. Put the L brackets at lowest point, but it was a real pull to get the bars on. I found 3 2x4’s to go under the jack for preload. My question is how do you know how close the L bracket should be to the bar. I am looking for long brackets but no luck. Terrible expensive compared to the normal ones!!!! $30 vs $100.

    should the safety brake cable be shorter than the chains so that the brakes would activate if trailer came off?

    • @adampoconnor
      @adampoconnor Před rokem

      The chains will be short enough that the trailer connector won't fall out of the vehicle, so the brakes will still work from the tow vehicle. The breakaway cable is the last defense for if the trailer completely departs the tow vehicle. If the trailer brakes activated fully while still somewhat attached to the tow vehicle via chains, the tow vehicle is more likely to lose control and crash.
