[quote author=Bill link=board=1;threadid=95;start=msg906#msg906 date=1055493845]There is a very expensive hitch out there with the trade name EQUAL-I-ZER. It is a combination weight-distributing hitch and an elaborate anti-sway mechanism. If memory serves, the EQUAL-I-ZER does indeed have a bunch of "stuff" hanging down in the area of the springbar tips.
Bill[/quote]This is an old thread, but I just discovered I messed up and I'm here to admit it. When I wrote this response, I was thinking of the $3000 Hensley hitch, not the Equal-I-Zer. The Hensley is undoubtedly a fine hitch, but IMHO way overkill (and overprice) for a TM. The Equal-I-Zer is a great hitch, period, and I did not intend to malign it.

I just want to set the record straight for anyone who comes back to this thread using the Search engine - or anyone who thought I had lost a couple of cranial alignment bolts. Which I guess I did.
