Need help - Stabilizing hitch for AS 25FB

Yes you can back up with the Equal-i-zer. I do it all the time with mine. As sharp as necessary.

The only backing up issue I've heard can be true is when using the friction bars that are used in conjunction with WD only hitches like EZ Lift and so forth. Depending how they're installed those could bend.

What's nice about the Equal-i-zer hitch is its an all in one hitch solution with no drilling into the frame required.

I like the Reese SC hitch that I'm currently using because it controls sway very well, distributes the weight very well, is simple to install and use, and makes no noise.

It's a pure friction sway control which operates similar to the Equal-I-zer, but uses brake material pads so there is no metal on metal to make the noises the Equal-I-zer makes.

I do not work for, nor do I have any interests with Reese.

I have NO problem backing. Airstream here in PHX, AZ install it and like I said NO problems backing.

And while you are investigating all of these fine hitch setups, also look into the AirSafe Hitch. Your delicate Airstream tongue will ride on an industrial airbag...achieving a much smoother ride. I use one with my '72 25' Trade Wind and an F250 Super Duty. The AirSafe hitch virtually eliminates the up and down shockwave...resulting in a much smoother ride and better gas mileage. The AirSafe hitch can also be used with stabilizing bars (small additional cost for the adaptor), if you feel the need. It is a very impressive hunk of steel and technology. And it is one of the less expensive choices. Good luck with your particular choice!
