I got the new Blue Ox Sway-Pro 1500 with my new TT, and it is awesome. So easy to use.

I just bought the Reese Strait-Line Dual Cam system. Haven't installed it yet, but from everything I read, it's one of the best for the price point. I got it new from Amazon for $400 with the 1200 lb bars.

I have the Camco 1000 lb Eaz Lift Bent Bar Weight Distributing Hitch with the Camco RV Olympian Adjustable Sway Bar Control. Total cost $241.98 shipped to your door. Works great on my 29' 6500lb trailer.

now let me get this correct, you are looking at sway control, not weight distribution hitch, right. If that is correct you can get a sway control, friction type, for around $60

I have a Passport 2850RL and I use a WD hitch(that is set up correctly) and one friction type sway bar. I also have paid attention to how the TT is loaded and stay on top of tire air pressure. This being said I have pulled it in windy conditions such as side winds at 35mph and have also passed 18 wheelers and had 18 wheelers pass me without any sway. So far no problems. If I were to start have any sway problems, I beleive I would go with the Reeses Dual Cam.

I highly recommend a new WDH with integrated sway control. Reese Straight Line or Equalizer 4-pt for about $450 shipped are both very popular and effective.
