Wondering if anyone has experience with this weight distribution hitch.
It has several features that look appealing including a bit less weight than other similar designs, bars that do not drop below the trailer frame and adjustable sway control also with an on/off switch.
What is not so appealing is the apparent conflicting information about the current model status and description.
The Eaz-Lift/Camco site shows an apparently upgraded version that has frame mount plates that offer solid offset adjustment for the mount straps as opposed to simple 2” or so wide compression mount straps that might pitch fore/aft on the trailer frame.
Virtually all retailers who advertise this hitch show the earlier frame mount pictures. Both versions use the same model number. Camping World wants $900 for the 6000 lb. version while other retailers are in the $500-$600 range. None of the retailers I contacted were aware of the frame mount differences nor of the discrepancy between their photos and those on the manufacturer’s web site.
And then there was the call to Camco/Eaz-Lift. The customer service guy has no innate knowledge of the hitch products. He didn’t know the difference between the frame mounts. he couldn’t explain why two different products carried the same part number.
It shouldn’t be this hard to buy something. Maybe that is the best answer to my question about the hitch.
