    Hello

    I just bought a 14 foot trailer and its dry weight is 1900 lbs. Do I need to get a sway bar and weight equalizer? The RV dealer said yes (of course they wanted to up sell me) the folks at CampingWorld said it was not necessary. What do you all think?

    Not likely at that weight. My cargo trailer weighs that much empty and I have zero issues towing. It about load placement though and an RV can be difficult to balance loads due to the fact that much of it's interior is permanently affixed to the trailer.

    Load it up and pull it around and you'll see if you need and or want one. It certainly won't hurt anything but your wallet though.
