Review on Husky 31995 600-pound Weight Distribution Hitch and Sway Control with 2-inch Ball by James Townsend

I bought this WDH to replace an old straight handlebar I inherited which was designed for a heavier RV than my 16ft casita. I was impressed with the build quality right out of the box. Fewer instructions. But maybe that's just me. Everything you need is in the box, including a pre-installed 2" ball. It takes some time to set it up properly, so put it aside for half a day. Browsing through YouTube videos before I started gave me a better idea of what I was dealing with. I suggest you load up your tractor (an '05 4Runner in my case) and trailer like you're going camping. If you don't, the geometry will change and you won't be able to take full advantage of the WDH. My 4Runner's receiver has rounded inside corners, so I had to grind down the edges of the tongue about an eighth of an inch in each corner to get it to fit. Be sure to check yours before you start. A DeWalt 18V angle grinder with a powerful grinding disc did the trick. If you don't have it, give it to someone who does. Or use it as an excuse to buy a new tool. I measured the distance the tongue would insert into the receiver, marked it with painter's tape and rubbed it to that point. A little primer and paint made the changes invisible. I had some difficulty installing the chain link mounts on the A-frame, having added a custom second battery box a few years ago. This required additional grinding of the inside edge of one of the brackets and trimming of the mounting bolts. Checking all of this beforehand might save me some frustration. I want to emphasize that this is not the manufacturer's fault. Casitas are a special breed. The wobble adjuster is exceptionally efficient because it has two friction pads compared to the single point friction rod I use. Make sure you have sockets that fit all of the screws. I used a cordless hammer drill to speed up the assembly, but you'll need a torque wrench or at least a pry bar to secure everything. I also recommend taking the necessary tools to make road adjustments, at least for the first few rides. I'm still fine tuning. All in all, this is a big improvement over what I had, and as I keep tweaking I expect even better performance. For a hundred dollars less than I could buy locally, this is a great purchase.
