The WD bars and cams that mount on the tongue are the older style that I got from the P.O. when I bought the trailer. The original setup I bought, I got for a Minuet several years ago, so I still have the later-style lightweight bars and those cams in a box somewhere. All-in-all, it's a pretty pedestrian hitch... nothing fancy at all, but it seems to work fine.
When I first got the 34' I had huge sway issues. As it turned out, the draw bar was too long; it was for a van conversion with rear-mounted spare and it flexed like crazy. Using the Hi-Perf draw bar stopped about half of the sway, but I still had issues until I figured out the tire pressures were WAY too low on the Excursion at 55psi on my "E" range tires. That allowed too much sidewall flex which allowed the Excursion to "wiggle" with trailer input at speed. It was pretty scary. At 70psi (all the way around) on the Ex and the trailer tires aired up to max, and the Hi-Perf draw bar setup, the thing tracks like it's on rails.
Good luck!
