Product Q&A
-
When do I use a trunnion / straight bar hitch and when would I rather opt for a round bar hitch?
It depends on the depth of the A-frame and where the coupling is situated. The trunnion hitch is designed for an underslung coupling and will provide more ground clearance. The round bar hitch is designed for coupling above the tow bar and provides more clearance from the A-frame.
-
How do I know what the maximum tow ball weight is?
The max tow ball weight is usually indicated on the product listing and it is calculated as 10% of the gross trailer mass (GTM). The use of a Weight Distribution Hitch does NOT increase the max tow ball capacity.
-
Can I still use a Weight Distribution Hitch if I have electric brakes on my caravan?
Yes, you can. However, it is important to note that the WDH will inhibit the manual override function of the electric brakes. You are still able to use a WDH, but you need to allow for harder braking.
-
Can these be used on any vehicle?
It is always best to check with the car manufacturer when determining whether you need a WDH. Some cars have automatic leveling systems or towbar constraints that don't allow the use of WDH.
-
Are Weight Distribution Hitches the same as anti-sway devices?
No, weight distribution hitches (WDH's) are not anti-sway devices. Some WDH's do however reduce sway, but only those that specify that this is the case.
-
What are the best Weight Distribution Hitches on the market?
The safest and best pro-active sway control devices on the market is the FASTWAY e2 and Andersen WD Sway Control Hitches. These are the only Weight Distribution Hitches on the market with integrated Sway Control as standard
-
Is there any additional devices I can purchase that will reduce swaying?
Weight Distribution can assist, but alone will not prevent the motion of sway occurring while towing at speed. Typically you will need to purchase additional Anti-sway bars or dampening arms to your Weight Distribution Hitch to prevent sway. These combinations can become quite clunky and cumbersome to use. The FASTWAY e2 and Andersen WD Sway Control Hitches come with integrated Sway Control as standard.
-
What is the purpose of a Weight Distribution Hitch?
Weight Distribution Hitches prevent the rear of a tow vehicle from sagging when the weight of the caravan or trailer is added to the tow ball. In this way the front of the tow vehicle and the rear of the caravan or trailer does not lift.
-
Can I adjust the shank height?
Yes you can adjust the shank height if needed.
-
Can I still reverse my caravan if the Andersen Weight Distribution Hitch is being used?
Yes, you can still reverse your caravan with complete control even if the Andersen Weight Distribution Hitch is attached.
-
How do I choose a Weight Distribution Hitch for my vehicle?
You need to take the following into consideration when selecting a WDH:
- How much weight your caravan puts on your tow ball
- How much room you have on the A-frame to mount the WDH
- The types of brakes your caravan or trailer has
- The height of your tow ball
Read the product information carefully for each WDH you are considering to ensure they meet all your requirements.
