   Oct 8, 2022 · Posts: 33. We have a 2021 Basecamp 20X, and tow it with a 2015 Tacoma. We’ve used an Andersen hitch for sway control and WD. I’ve towed the trailer with and without the hitch and can tell you there is no comparison. Much more stability and weight balance with Andersen.

   What is a weight distribution hitch?

   • What is a weight distribution hitch and why do we recommend them while towing an Airstream? A weight distribution hitch (aka “load equalizing hitch”) is a hitch that evenly distributes the weight of your payload. It works by using adjustable spring bars and tension to distribute the load of the trailer tongue to the trailer and vehicle axles.

   What type of Hitch does an Airstream use?

   • Older airstreams (roughly before 1969) use a 2-inch ball and socket but were updated when the government standards changed. Collectively the Receiver, Ball Mount and Ball are the hitch, though again you may see each component on its own called a hitch while shopping and each is generally sold separately.

   Feb 24, 2024 · We’ve used an Andersen hitch for sway control and WD. I’ve towed the trailer with and without the hitch and can tell you there is no comparison. Much more stability and weight balance with Andersen. Drove in a cross wind on I-5 in northern CA, and had no trouble. And it weighs so much less than the other hitches.” Glad we bought the Andersen.

   Apr 29, 2021 · Is there a specific WD hitch that you suggest I go with? Unfortunately I do not have my basecamp 20 or access to any to see what can be attached to it. Some posters say that only certain equalizers work while others do not. Perhaps this? Also, is an adjustable hitch like this an all around safe bet?

   Since your trailer's dry hitch weight is 835-lbs, before you fill water and propane tanks and before you load your supplies and gear, I suggest the higher-rated system # RP66560. This way you will end up with the loaded trailer TW near the middle of the range. You will need a hitch ball too since these are not included.
