TrailManor Owner's Forum - View Single Post - WDH with Swing-away Tongue

scrubjaysnest · 11-28-2010, 05:07 AM

When using a WDH I have never removed the spring bars before backing and never had a problem with standard trailer tongues. This has been my concern with the 2720SL and the swing hitch all along. When I put the WDH on and towed the TM to a large parking where I could check for issues the first thing that popped up was the standard spring bars are to short and cause interference with the swing hitch mounting brackets. I would still like to be able to use a WDH but am still researching to see if anyone makes one that will fit. We towed the TM 1100 miles without one with no problems.
