Retrax/Camping and Brake Controller

[Rikybob]

I got all my goodiies installed. The Retrax bed cover worked flawlessly once I sent an email to the factory and advised I saw too much daylight in my truck tailgate with the $30.00 gasket kit I bought. They sent me at no charge a thicker gasket kit that worked like a charm. The guys on the forum hooked me up with not only a good brake controller (Tekonsha Prodigy) but one at a good price that installed easily. Even a good place to mount same (lower left of steering wheel). I bought the "Husky" brand floor mats rather than the offering of Nissans mud mats and they work well. The selling point being that the rear mats cover the entire floor including the driveshaft hump. Well, I took same on a road trip to O'leno State Park in Florida and pulled my '91 Towlite travel trailer and the entire package did well. I will have to install anti sway for my wife to tow the rig but over all the whole rig did well. Advice on antisway bars would be appreciated
Many thanx to all who gave/give advice. This forum makes trial an error dang near obsolete!

I use an anti-sway on my trailer. Its only a 7x16 Haulmark Cadet. It's not always necessary but I like the added confidance.

What kinda sway system do you use??? I am thinkin' about the friction one first (cheaper) and if it does not perform....the $450.00 version.........

I have the Husky friction type. Never had any prblem with it. Just tighten it up as the conditions indicate. Heavy loads , wind. Leave it loose in snowy and icy conditions.

Rikybob, how much does your trailer weigh?
