Yes fingers and toes. I need to make a trip up to Tripoli to see my mother. Living in Texas during this stuff it’s very tough on families. Good luck to everyone!!
I want to wish everyone good luck on the win. And wish that person Congratulations on their win. To me it was just a privilege on a chance to win. I just enjoyed watching Josh video and the build of the Wifemax. Im going to be busy up to Christmas hauling goods to stores because of the Covid virus and a shut down in the future. Also want to tell Josh and his family and all the viewers a Happy Safe Holliday.
Yes absolutely, good luck to all who made it in the contest and God bless Josh and all involved who've made this sweepstakes about our wounded veterans. I'm always proud to give to the wounded veterans, God bless all of them...past, present and future! 🇺🇸
Truck Master: Look up Roadmaster Active Suspension (RAS) kits. Affordable and easy to install. They stop sagging from a load, stop axle wrap, and act like a sway bar. So you get 3 benefits in one system. They act like airbags, traction bars, and a sway bar all in one easy kit. You should really try them out.
Absolutely they work! I hit black ice towing a 36' bumper pull RV and did a 270 (the truck) on the freeway. The trailer stayed upright as it slid onto the shoulder (trailer did a 180) and came to a stop. I believe if I did not have the distribution bars on it had a very good chance of tipping over.
Josh, nice video. Al Moody is correct. Make sure the trailer is level and loaded with full water and gear. A slightly higher or lower level will overheat your tires and it will suck to pull. Also you may need to install TPM in the trailer tires. This will keep you informed when you puck up a nail. It will eventuality happen. Btw... if you have good H20 at the house fill your tank at home. Some camp areas have terrible water.....
So I have a 31’ trailer just like your camper and I have the same hitch but the old style bars and I have towed it 3 times with a uhaul 17’ box truck that was empty and the trailer we live in and had all of our stuff in it. Now there’s 3 kids 2 adults and 4 dogs in my family. Now towing it with the uhaul truck was amazing to my surprise I didn’t even notice it there at all. Yes we had fresh water in the tanks. I would love to update the hitch setup as my trailer is an 04 and has the same bars and all since factory.
Good video! I use to run without weight distribution and sway control. Thinking I didn’t need it and it was a waste of money. Till one day I was pulling my enclosed trailer on the highway in the rain and wind. I passed a semi and a car I was following break checked me. Which sent my trailer into a white knuckle lane swapping experience. Since then I spent the money and can cruse with piece of mind and no more fighting a trailer.
I didn't like the sag when towing covered trailer with my race car in it. Used a different brand name hitch set up. Freeway stability and handling improved. One less thing to worry about when traveling. Thanks for the video.
Glad you bought the hitch, definitely the way to go. Wait until your truck is loaded for the trip, the additional weight of your family and bikes or stuff in the bed. I always loaded the bed it will handle even better .I always had a golf cart, a huge igloo cooler or firewood in my bed when pulling my camper ,even a few hundred pounds makes a huge difference in the stability of the truck. You,ve got plenty of rear axle with that 11.5 AAM. The ride then will be like a car, im not exaggerating ,w weight distributing hitch makes a night and day difference in the ride quality, all the bouncing goes away.
I towed mine over 8000 miles and after w while you get a feel for what the truck likes . My 2 different GM tow vehicles were identical to yours in configuration . 153” wb, 9200 GVWR, one was an 04 LB7 Duramax and one was is an 8.1L /Allison which I still have . With a front heavy short bed pickup crew cab diesel like yours is possible to move too much weight , you’ll feel it taking off you can easily spin your rear tires without meaning too and you set yourself up for a possible jackknife in an evasive maneuver situation . If you have to turn pretty fast while braking hard that’s when the trailer can push the rear of your truck. Once there’s some weight in the truck cab and bed and you dial back the WD a touch , you’ll have a rock stable setup . Some of the best years I had w my kids were when we were camping . Great times !
I went back in the video and your truck unloaded was 12 inches then with the hitch it was 12 1/4. I'm glad you caught that you need more weight on the rear end. 👍
Leaving tomorrow to buy a new tow rig, my 1 ton (2002 f350 super duty) pulls my Ice Castle fantastic but it needs a new body and its my plow truck so prior to a long drive I always drop the plow, which is a pain because I'm cheap and run an old western straight blade lol Picking up a 2013 suburban 2500hd, 12,000 pound bumper pull rating and seats 7 so it should work great for hauling the kids out on the lake. Also stops me from burning so much straight number 1 through a refreshed motor, those -40°F temps out on northern lakes always make me worry about running g any #2. In the semi I dont ever worry because if its cold I just don't shut it off if im in it, so the only time I may have a problem is at home. Out on the lake with the whole family relying on the diesel to not gel id just assume get the terrible fuel economy in a gasser.
Bumps are awesome even with the weight distribution hitches. Adding a actually sway bar will control sway in high winds passing etc In combination with a weight distributing hitch.
Good video. I have and prefer the anderson W/D hitch. The ball turns with the trailer so you dont wear your ball or the hitch. Its easy to make slight adjustments too, just tighten the nuts a little
Soooooo about that LML for the new build?? Lol just pulling your leg bud! Great video and very informative. I dont have a trailer or a camper...yet! This video made the decision for me when it comes to getting a camper or trailer in the future when it comes to hooking up and hitch materials. Thanks! Also again god bless you and your family. Especially you for all of what you sacrifice and have sacrificed. Hats off good sir.
I just pulled a bunch of these camper trailers for a state contract in Louisiana with a half ton truck... this would've been real cool to have except I would've been putting it on 2 sometimes 3 different trailers every day
Hands down the best WD hitch. Once it’s setup right they’re awesome. I tow with an LB7 with one of those. Be careful passing semi’s without those bars in place. That trailer will toss your pickup wherever it wants to.
I moved from Ak to Washington state with 2011 towing a 24 ‘ car trailer filled with our house with just air bags on the rear it did good I bet I was 9600 on wheigt
The next vehicle you should pick for a rebuild Ford excursion what is 7.3 diesel designated (The troop carrier) lifted designed pacifically for pulling your trailer I know you don’t like highlighting driving a station wagon that nowadays people called L SUV but it is what it is and your new normal you could even paint it with a Wild new design and/or flat black and glossy blood at the Raptors and metal paint on the trailer
In my opinion anything longer than 24 foot should be a goosneck and 5th wheel hitch theres a huge difference between goosneck and fifth wheel. It distributes the weight evenly less swaying side to side.
been towing camp and construction trailers of various lengths since 1987. I measure truck static from ground to ball mount, then set the trailer weight on the ball and measure again. I adjust the bars until the trailer settles the truck half of the difference. Then I adjust the ball height until the trailer is towing level. People who tow with their trailer tongue high or tail high risk overheating the tires that are carrying the most load
It gets rid of that bucking the trailer gives you. Helps keep the weight on the wheels of the trailer not your ball amd hitch. If you adjust ball height jis right youll almost forget its even there
I love my equalizer hitch I don't even use my air bags when I pull my rv now. The hitch does all the work. If you buy the equalizer bracket jackets and the equalizer hitch grease it helps reduce the popping of the hitch quite a bit too.
Well those those air bags are always good for if your towing a gooseneck or a fifth wheel. And Also I think maybe you should talk to the wife about getting a truck and which one to get talk to her and maybe pray about it together God bless.
Josh I have pulled travel trailer for over thirty-five years. Before you start adjusting the weight distribution bars. First thing I would do is load the camper with essential things. Then fill your fresh water tanks and then test it. You don't want to put to mush weight on the back or front. Try spreading the weight throughout the travel trader. Once you get where your comfortable on the ride and handle. Leave it there. Adjusting to your standards and where you feel that you and your family is safe on your travel.
I've installed lots of these and the way I was told to install them is to park trailer on level ground and level it front to back then measure height of the top of ball coupler then use that measurement as a reference for setting up the truck side hitch ball height. You need trailer level so you don't bottom out.
Good video. Those are great hitches and they do work great. Like you said play a little bit to fine tune the setup. Don't forsake your airbags, a touch of air will help too. Plus keep in mind the bed is empty and basically so is the trailer. So adding items to the bed equals weight and of course packing out the trailer full of gear adds weight. So the hitch and bags are going to work with one another. Keeping everything level and even weight distribution is a success . Nothing worse than a long drive fighting a trailer the whole way. But when you have it right, it is a easy ride. Less wear and tear on all, truck, trailer and driver ! A good rear sway bar on your truck will help aswell. Over time you might find that shocks can be matched to help work with the load and shock function front and rear. Again, when you pull in after being on the road all day. You don't want to feel like you've been driving hard all day. Then if you really get into it. You will find there are some great trailer axle changes that can be made. Welcome to the world of RV'ing ! It's a great way of life. Your going to enjoy it, and so will your family.
I usually add about 30psi to my bags when towing my 7K travel trailer. It makes it feel so much smoother, as if the trailer isn’t even back there. Bed is loaded up with some gear too.
I got the Anderson WD hitch this year because after a lot of research it seemed to be the easiest to connect and disconnect. Since i have a 3/4 ton truck my trailer only sags 2 inches with no W/D hitch, so i was mainly concerned about sway. For the Anderson is not as much meant to be weight distribution as sway control, but it still does weight distribution too. But sway control is amazing and with it i only sag about an inch or less.
I was pulling lumber on a race car trailer with 1974 Ford PickupI hit 60 MPH and had front wheels started to hop it was one hell of a ride. I did not Crash got lucky for once.
I think that is the best Weight distribution and sway prevention hitch on the market. You may have to adjust hitch height and/or bracket on the rv frame after you have your camper loaded with all of your gear. It will make a difference in the ride height. The dealer set mine up and I had to raise the ball 1 slot. Then adjust it down when I got my Duramax. Play around with settings and you can hit your sweet spot and safe travels.
You should do a video about GM’s recent announcement of going 100% electric by 2030. Personally i dont think i will be buying another just to not support them
@@TruckMaster I got a quick question for you and if you don’t know and your not sure just tell me. Need your explanation and help. I have a 2008 lmm duramax. Previous owner blew motor I’m not sure how at 61k miles. I bought a different motor that has so called 77k miles. It’s fully deleted with 5inch exhaust, intake, and ppei auto cal efi live. I checked blow by and I have some white smoke coming out when warmed up but it doesn’t blow the cap off at all, is this normal. Also am I supposed to do the pcv reroute. I’m not sure. I’m seeing people with zero blow by or any smoke. Why does mine have it. Is it normal. My buddy has a 2013 lml duramax all stock with def still on and he has more smoke than me but still no blowing cap off. Is this normal for my truck, is my motor bad? The motor looked really clean so it has to have 77k miles but it was already deleted when we got the motor. Did I get a bad motor. Does both your wife max and your dmax blow slight smoke but didn’t blow cap off too?
Hey how have those tires on your 07 classic duramax held up I’m curious because I’m wanting to get a different wheel and tire setup on my 06 duramax longbed
I’m on my 2nd Equalizer hitch, probably will stick with them for the next one too, just make sure your camper is level or 1/2 inch to 1 inch lower in the front after you get the truck where you want it, I found that if the camper is slightly higher in the front it will sway a little
I agree anything longer than 24foot needs to be goosneck or fifth wheel and yes they can do it for lifted trucks might cost a grand more to put the lift kit on the camper but it can be done my dad does it everday
Dood you need a dually common what would be cooler then a dually build ???? Forget the Fudge wam , get a lml 15and up dually make her proper !!!!! 🇺🇸🇨🇦
Just a heads up! We will have a winner picked no later than 12-17-20 for the Duramax giveaway! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Fingers are crossed! 🇺🇸👍

Put air in your bags put enough air in to put truck at height before trailor hitch up. Will help on bad bumps and bridges.
You can also buy a spare set of shackles if you want to use the same hitch on your car hauler or any other trailer that might need it 👌🏻
That’s a great idea
I also put a little bit of grease on the shackles in the pivot points on the hitch at least once a year

I just pulled a bunch of these camper trailers for a state contract in Louisiana with a half ton truck... this would've been real cool to have except I would've been putting it on 2 sometimes 3 different trailers every day
Night and day difference. I wouldn’t pull my 30’ bumper pull camper without them. I even made some brackets to work with my 18’ equipment trailer.
I think you should get a lmm for the next truck
Hands down the best WD hitch. Once it’s setup right they’re awesome. I tow with an LB7 with one of those. Be careful passing semi’s without those bars in place. That trailer will toss your pickup wherever it wants to.
Weight distribution and anti sway... the safest way to tow that awesome rig of your's 🙂

Ya. This setup is over-equalized. He talks about it at the end. It would be nice to see a follow-up vid on this setup.
It gets rid of that bucking the trailer gives you. Helps keep the weight on the wheels of the trailer not your ball amd hitch. If you adjust ball height jis right youll almost forget its even there
Btw...I have been told that trucks with big tires and lifts will have more trailer sway.
You made a good desicion with the Equal-i-zer hitch!
Hey
I love my equalizer hitch I don't even use my air bags when I pull my rv now. The hitch does all the work. If you buy the equalizer bracket jackets and the equalizer hitch grease it helps reduce the popping of the hitch quite a bit too.
Great advice thanks 🙏
Definitely grease the ball if you tow a lot. It will help with releasing the trailer from the ball. Just a small amount will do.
Well those those air bags are always good for if your towing a gooseneck or a fifth wheel.
And Also I think maybe you should talk to the wife about getting a truck and which one to get talk to her and maybe pray about it together God bless.
Thanks John
Suncoast valve body? Or a trans go shift kit. For my lbz.
Depends if you want to spend the coin. If I was on a budget I’d go shift kit first and see if it clears up the shifts

I’ve got the same hitch and I love it. It’s night and day difference when pulling a long camp trailer.
Yes, you need to bring Mrs. Truckmaster into the process of finding and obtaining another truck.. 🤯.. that just goes without saying.
We have that save setup on the 45ft coach with the 32ft stacker works amazing
I've installed lots of these and the way I was told to install them is to park trailer on level ground and level it front to back then measure height of the top of ball coupler then use that measurement as a reference for setting up the truck side hitch ball height. You need trailer level so you don't bottom out.
The trailer being level is also probably going to give the best aerodynamics as thats the way it would be designed and tested.
@@jaydunbar7538 👍
@@jaydunbar7538 front down slightly tends to ride better with less sway likely
Glad you found one you like.
I was going to give you 1
Josh, keep your airbags they'll come in handy with your other trailers you pull
Is this compensating for something that goosenecks/5th wheels don't have to deal with or do they have their own anti-sway systems?
At 8:53, it looks like you still have mud on your mirror from the tug-of-war!
Roger that 😂
Is that sway and tortion all in one? My set up for my 30' sportsman is 2 tortion bars and a single sway that mounts on 1" balls hitch and trailer side
Josh having the right weight distribution hitch can save your tires from uneven ware and help keep your fuel pickup from starving the pump
So it takes weight off the back lol hows from 12-11-12-1/2”
Great test. Nice to see all the measurements done so we know what it’s doing.
3:38 phone zip tied to the bumper, that’s awesome. Footage turned out great, what a difference before and after w/d.
Thanks Lance

Great vid! Will be getting one!
Add a anti-sway bar to compliment that weight distribution hitch while running some bags allows you to load up the bed while still pulling safely.
Have the same setup. Youll be happy.
How many miles do you have on your tires? How do you like them?
I was pulling lumber on a race car trailer with 1974 Ford PickupI hit 60 MPH and had front wheels started to hop it was one hell of a ride. I did not Crash got lucky for once.
Wow 😳
Great video, Josh but I missed Melanie’s “ stay tuned “ at the end 😂
I think that is the best Weight distribution and sway prevention hitch on the market. You may have to adjust hitch height and/or bracket on the rv frame after you have your camper loaded with all of your gear. It will make a difference in the ride height. The dealer set mine up and I had to raise the ball 1 slot. Then adjust it down when I got my Duramax. Play around with settings and you can hit your sweet spot and safe travels.
Thanks ✅
Nice one guys 😬👍🏻
yes it helps
Nice hitch man and good video 👍🏻
Thanks
You should do a video about GM’s recent announcement of going 100% electric by 2030. Personally i dont think i will be buying another just to not support them
You're truck sounds really good. How well does it tow with the RDS 68?
Yes it tows great but I think it would be more practical with a 64
I have to install airbags for my boat trailer I can’t get a weight distribution hitch on that, my travel trailer has a recurve 3 on it
My 16,000 lb trailer gives me no sag
Love the videos dude love duemax
Thanks
Yes. It does, I have two. Wouldn't tow without one.
Do you have air bags also?
i have one but its a regular adoption to like a f150 truck my 05 lly has that 2”1/2 connection
You are correct. They do work. Much safer.
They do work, used one for the first time in the 80's on my '83 GMC dually
Excellent video . You forgot to measure the tongue if the trailer after setting it. 😉
Happy camping!
I’m surprised they didn’t include the hitch when you bought your trailer. The salesperson dropped the ball on that one.
He tried to but the hitch was way to expensive
Great video!!!!
Thanks
awesome
As a trucker weight distribution is key to handling and ride, many overlook it and only care if they are legal.
Andersen w/d hitch is so much nicer
If you have the trailer parked and un hooked do you have to remove the sway bar/pre-loaders?
Yes that is correct you have to remove the bars
I find it helps to remove them when your backing in the camp spot too.
... leave your airbags, you will need them for hauling much heavier stuff in your future. You remind me when I was your age... Great work!
Mine works great. My lb7 looks just like your lbz 👀
Gen y has a Adapter plate just for this, so you can still use their hitch’s.
I use the geny hitch adapter for weight distribution I love mine super easy to adjust I've used it on my ram my dads ram
would I have to do this on my 3500 dually thx
Probably not as your spring stack is greater.... just my .02. I have been pulling trailers of all types for many years...
Do not buy that Cummins by a project truck it’s more fun to work on it I want to see a build like the Duramax but maybe not so much in depth
That’s what I’m thinking

My buddy has a 2013 lml duramax all stock with def still on and he has more smoke than me but still no blowing cap off. Is this normal for my truck, is my motor bad? The motor looked really clean so it has to have 77k miles but it was already deleted when we got the motor. Did I get a bad motor. Does both your wife max and your dmax blow slight smoke but didn’t blow cap off too?
I can't wait to see who wins that GMC truck
Hey how have those tires on your 07 classic duramax held up I’m curious because I’m wanting to get a different wheel and tire setup on my 06 duramax longbed
Yes they are still good but not the best in the mud
Can you do a part 3 wife max
Not to sure yet
@@TruckMaster okay I. Can't wait to see that happen
So gen - y sucks ?
No definitely not
I’m on my 2nd Equalizer hitch, probably will stick with them for the next one too, just make sure your camper is level or 1/2 inch to 1 inch lower in the front after you get the truck where you want it, I found that if the camper is slightly higher in the front it will sway a little
Yep nose down slightly
Happy wife -happy life. Take her with you when you go truck shopping, you’ll be glad you did.
You would have better off in a Gooseneck converted fifth wheel RV or Toyhauler! Bumper Pulls Suck!
Mobile home transporter 30 years!
But not in a lifted truck! Thats why I went with bumper
I agree anything longer than 24foot needs to be goosneck or fifth wheel and yes they can do it for lifted trucks might cost a grand more to put the lift kit on the camper but it can be done my dad does it everday
Only works under a load 🤷🏻♂️
Blue OX silly man🙃
