I have a weight distribution hitch. I also have a 6,000 camper that I want to pull across country. Should I install two of these or would one work.

Hair raising through Tenn. semi trucks will move you around, but you do learn to just go with it. Have fun!

Every set up will be different, no doubt about it. That said, we pulled a 4000 Lb. Trailer 3000 miles with a 3/4 ton suburban and after returning to Mich. I added a second friction hitch which did improve the handling. At the cost involved, two is better than one in my opinion. Hope this helps you!

No one is ok but if you have the hitch that has 2 bars that hook to the side of trailer body and have safety pins you dont need sway bar.

Thats common from a big rig i know i used be over the road driver if you feel you need a sway bar get one better to be safe when traveling!!!

As long as the height and width of the hitch work for the trailer. Keep in mind it shifts sideways to all the trailer to be towed so make sure you have enough of a neck on the trailer.

i dont fully understand your question in both directions it ids designed to pick up the front of a camper i have 2 campers that i put these on and they work quite well it is so easy put the wife by the hitch and the switch she can jack it up or down with no problems it is such a timesaver less trips out of the pulling vehicle to adjust the hitch height. i would buy them again

yes, but the weight carrying capability is diminished. The loads are printed on the hitch so you may decide if this is the correct hitch for your load

I think it would work well... 2 work better than 1... as long as your camper is low enough ... I use 2 on our travel trailer (tow behind)

The hitch extension is plenty strong to handle that type of weight. It would really depend on your reciever and hitch on your vehicle. Hope this helps.

Somebody makes receiver hitch extensions for use with big truck bed campers. I've seen those carry heavy trailers. If you built the cycle carrier substituting that piece for the piece that comes with the kit it might work. Pop ups don't have much tongue weight. This is idle speculation. I haven't tested it, but that's how I'd do it

I suspect that you might want to get a weight distribution hitch and if necessary a double sway control.

I'm with jerrym. I hauled two bikes from west coast to east coast with no problems at all. Just be careful when you install it. If you tighten the u-bolts to tight it "crushes" the thin bumper just enough so you can't get the stinky slinky in/out. By the way, I have a mountain bike and a hybrid bike.

Is this an RV/Camper???? You want to use a model that is rated to handle your load but not over kill. If your max weight is only 3300lb you may want to go a little lighter in the Equalizer hitch. Be sure you know what parts are and are not included (It varies) and you must use the Equalizer ball. Also look at the reese model

Yes, they do but having a weight distributing hitch is more important if you have a travel trailer. A WD hitch keeps the connection point between the truck and trailer rigid, preventing it from sagging and limiting the bounce. When I'm towing with my tundra, I put both bags at 20 psi and, together with my hitch, keeps the ride pretty stable.

I would say it's not required but it will help levle out your truck, it also matters on how much weight your putting on the hitch. I use them on my f250 with a 4k lance camper and a flatbed trailer with my jeep on it and it levels it right out. It's nice on the 250's because most of them,including mine, did not come with the overload spring in the back so with all that weight my truck sagged ass pretty bad. I would try it out first without them and see if it's necisary to drop the cash on them.

If you plan to use the trailer with more than 1 bike its easier to have another hitch. Not necessary, just a matter of convenience.

Yes but it isn't designed for that. Trailering would put a lot of stress on the four welds attaching the two parts. You would be better off buying a hitch designed for that purpose. We call them drop hitches around here. Good luck.

Not sure what you have in mind. You normally put accessory units above the receiver and it does not interefere with towing. Below the hitch would make it impossible to tow simultaneously. Hope this helps.

It will have to be a 2 5/16 In my opinion you cant get a better equalizer hitch then this one. I pull a 29' travel trailer and it pull like a dream with my pick up. Well worth the money!

I know they make adaptors to go from 1 1/4 into a 2 but not sure about the other way for safety reasons. A 1 1/4 hitch receiver less of a weight rating. Remember you'll have nearly five hundred pounds of bikes on the rack plus the weight of the rack. Adaptors are just adding another point for failure. Hope this helped.
