Dual-cam sway control shouldn't be a problem, since it is part of the spring bars. However, the framework at the break in the swing tongue will interfere with the flat bar of a friction sway control such as the commonly-seen Reese unit. These can be recognized by the presence of the mini-hitchball on one side of the the TV half of the hitch. I suspect that this is what your dealer is referring to. I agree with Leon. Although sway control will not harm anything, it is not needed unless you have some strange combination of tow vehicle and trailer. You might consider adding a signature line to your profile, to describe your rig. Bill |

Thanks to all of you! With your guidance, I feel much better about just purchasing the WDH and controller for now. I'm sure there will be a learning curve but with the help of the good people in this forum, my wife and I are looking forward to many years of great experiences with our Trailmanor.
Thanks again. - Michael Bill, updated signature as you suggested...... |

Re adding your own lift kit - if you've got the tools, go for it! The lift is not a complex mechanism. In fact there is no reason I know of to limit your lift to 2" if you feel there is need for more. Your signature says you have done a lot of vehicle lifting before, so you are knowledgable about the advantages (ground clearance) as well as the drawbacks (higher CG). In Australia, my wife and I saw a camping trailer that had to have been lifted 18", pulled by a vehicle that was lifted by more or less the same amount. The combo was clearly intended for use in the true Outback. With the center of gravity that high, I wouldn't want to take any high-speed mountain curves with it - but then, Oz doesn't have much in the way of mountains. So if you know your goals and intents, there is no reason I know of not to do it. Bill |

We just returned from ordering our new TM. We were told that the over-the-stove cabinet stacks on top of the over-the-sink cabinet and locks in place for transportation. We didn't actually take them down and stack them ourselves, but it would seem to me that's what the latch is for.
