I don’t have any pics of mine. It’s the same one @5Cent uses. Equalizer or something like that. Solid bars, no chairs. It’s out in the driveway if you get over this way. Pretty simple how they work and a damn dream to have.

Equalizer, solid bars, still have it even though no camper. Make ya a hell of a deal on a 10k/1k setup with extras.

Still have spare tire/wheel combo, WDH, and black dual 30 lb propane tank cover.

Interested cause I just looked at them on their web site and they're freaking expensive as hell, geez!

I'm not willing to compromise on safety, however why are they at least twice as much as some of their competitors?

Amazon has them at least a few hundred dollars cheaper than what they are on the official Equalizer site.

Equal-i-zer 4-point Sway Control Hitch, 90-00-1000, 10,000 Lbs Trailer Weight Rating, 1,000 Lbs Tongue Weight Rating, Weight Distribution Kit Includes

Because they actually work for controlling sway. Others just distribute the weight. They might claim to help with sway, but it really can’t with a chain system. This system actually locks in.

Being able to control the sway is huge on campers. Giant wind catcher and tall. They don’t tow anything like a landscape trailer.

Blow a tire at speed...you better be able to hold onto it. I honestly believe the hitch he just offered you saved him and his son from being in harms way. Worth every penny.

Just got back looking at a 2014 Z-1 Crossroads 32' camper. It was real nice and in darn good shape all they way around from what I could tell, although I think he's asking a bit too much.

We'll continue looking.

On the way back, some were on their feet all around a couple of my setups this evening.

Doesn't matter how large your tow vehicle either. Anti-sway bars. . . or improperly used anti-sway bars, HAVE been lethal. When I was an EMT there was life flight landed on the interstate from an Expedition which was towing a camper. Expeditions aren't tiny vehicles. It can happen to just about anyone if not setup properly.

32’ bumper pull? That’s no entry level camper. That’s close to what I have and at the summer shoot we slept 6 adults comfortably. Bring the wife and come see us tomorrow. We can answer any questions you might have or at least be able to steer you in a direction to find answers. You two can also look at ours and the options we have. It’s set up in the driveway. We have owned a few and slowly worked our way up to what we have.

Looking at the prices of what you looked at...you can damn near buy a new one with less options.
