Re: ever see an electric sway controler

I seen that add/test maybe several years ago. I did not watch the whole test again. Do you think it takes away the WHD bars when saying 0 weight, or just not needing a anti sway bar.
I think you still need to use WHD. The product might be great. The cost might be high. I just do not know the details.
Pulling a RV with a HD truck, I am not sure it would be worth it. The anti sway bars work great, in fact with my trailer they are not needed but should be used just in case.

I think it would wear the brakes out prematurely

Re: ever see an electric sway controler

That is possible. But, think about the traction control that has been on vehicles for years. First one I had was around 1996. Those use computers to apply brakes to any tire that spins under power. I think nearly all vehicles now have that feature. Anyone know if they cause to brake wear faster than without? To me it sounded similar or same as that add on to trailer brakes to prevent sway.
