Prep For Your Vacation with a New Camper Hitch from Equal-i-zer

The best vacation prep happens before you pack a single bag: it starts at the hitch. The campground is booked, the route is mapped and the cooler is ready, but the piece of steel connecting your truck to your camper decides how relaxed those highway miles feel.

If you’re still towing with an old ball mount or a worn-out setup from a few seasons back, this is the year to upgrade. Equal-i-zer offers three modern hitches — the CONNECT™, the e2™ and the flagship Equal-i-zer® — so every camper and every budget has a better way to get down the road.

The CONNECT™ Hitch: Smart, Affordable Weight Distribution

The CONNECT™ Hitch is the easiest way to step up from a plain ball mount. It works like a bridge between your tow vehicle and camper, shifting load off the rear axle and back toward the front.

That restored balance means a level ride, less rear-end sag, and better braking and steering. It also lets you tow up to your vehicle’s maximum conventional towing capacity. At $199 (on sale from $230), it’s a budget-friendly upgrade for weekend campers and first-time RVers.

The e2™ Hitch: Built-In Sway Control Without the Hassle

The e2™ Hitch brings modern, built-in sway control to your setup — no chains, no add-on sway bars. Its rigid brackets create two points of steel-on-steel friction that constantly work against sway from wind, passing semis and sudden maneuvers.

Because the sway control is always on, there are no restrictions for backing, turning or bad weather. There’s nothing extra to connect, store or remove at the campsite.

  • Two styles: round bar, or trunnion for better ground clearance
  • Capacity: models from 4,500 lb to 12,000 lb gross trailer weight
  • Ready to go: the 6,000–12,000 lb models ship with a 2-5/16″ hitch ball pre-installed
  • Flexible fit: installs around gas tanks and battery boxes and works with surge brakes

Starting at $510, the e2 is a reliable everyday choice for families who tow several times a season.

The Equal-i-zer® Hitch: Top-of-the-Line 4-Point Sway Control

The Equal-i-zer® Hitch is the company’s flagship, built for long-term towing across the country. Its patented 4-Point Sway Control® uses friction at four points — two at the hitch head sockets and two at the rigid L-brackets — to keep your camper tracking straight behind you.

When weight distribution is engaged, sway control is engaged too. There are no add-ons or electronic sensors, and no limits on backing into a campsite or swinging around a gas pump.

  • Capacity: 4,000 lb to 16,000 lb models, from small travel trailers to big bunkhouses and toy haulers
  • Fit: 2″ and 2-1/2″ receivers, with shank options for lifted trucks and SUVs
  • Frames: brackets bolt on without drilling, with sizes for lightweight aluminum and tall I-beam frames
  • Ready to tow: 6,000–16,000 lb models include a pre-installed, factory-torqued 2-5/16″ hitch ball

Pricing starts at $775.

Built for the Long Haul: Reliability for Every Vacation Mile

A vacation tow isn’t a quick trip across town. It’s hours of interstate, mountain passes, crosswinds and semis blowing past — then doing it all again on the way home, and again next summer.

That’s where Equal-i-zer’s long-term reliability pays off:

  • Forged American steel: every Equal-i-zer hitch is engineered and made in the USA from high-grade steel
  • Limited lifetime warranty: included with the Equal-i-zer® Hitch
  • Permanent sway control: the e2 and Equal-i-zer keep working in rain and wind, with nothing to loosen or remove
  • Proven track record: Equal-i-zer has been keeping families safe on the road for over 80 years, and over 99% of customers recommend the hitch
  • Replacement parts available: spring bars, pins, bolts and brackets are sold individually, so one worn part doesn’t sideline your trip

Less sag, steadier steering and stronger braking add up to a tow that’s less tiring. You arrive rested and ready to enjoy the trip.
