I got the Equalizer set up with our Sport from the previous owners. They loved it. I will be setting it all up this evening. Here's hoping it goes well.

Towing with Tahoe

We have been towing a 28 foot Airstream for 2 1/2 years with a 2015 Chevy Tahoe with all the towing options and have been very happy with the combination. We use an Equalizer 4 sway control hitch as recommended by our Airstream dealer and have had no problems. It makes a little noise on turns but as long as we know what is causing the noise that is no problem. Happy in Texas.

Unless something is wrong, all you should need is the right size ball at the correct height,

2018 Airstream Sport 22=single axle=more prone to sway & bow waves.
Whatever you choose, do the research and set it up correctly.👍

AMHIK....63 23' Safari, got the sway managed, (dual friction bars), but never the waves...really would have liked the haha, but at the beginning we knew nothing and lived thru it.😳😂

Don't be swayed by the "cost is the issue" argument with the various designs....how big an issue was the cost of the AS?. What is the cost limit on safety & peace of mind.

All will have their opinions, for me, the incredible stability of the Hensley design and the “joy in driving” it imparts will insure that I recommend the hitches to anyone who will not have to endure financial hardship to buy one. That said I kind of like the concept of the Blue Ox setup, but I don’t think that it can actually intrinsically improve the handling of a combination like the Hensley designs. I don’t like the concepts of the friction designs, so I will never use one. Right or wrong, that’s my take.

Hey there! Tim at Out of Doors Mart in Greensboro can help you decide which hitch will work best for you with the tow vehicle you have. I got the Blue Ox Sway Pro for my 19' Flying Cloud and I've been happy with it, though releasing the chains on the sway bars was a little scary at first. The folks on this forum have been soooo kind and helpful about it.
