loosening bolts on Reese Dual Cam Sway Control
We have taken two long trips with our trailer utilizing the Reese Dual Cam Weight Distribution/sway control hitch. After driving on a very rough strip of I40 in AZ, we pulled into an rv park in Williams, AZ and noticed we had lost all of the bolts out of the bracket that holds the cam to the a frame of the trailer. The bolts had wallerd out the holes making it impossible to install the same 1/2" bolts. Amazingly, we only lost the bolts and didn't lose the parts. We ended up installing some 9/16 bolts which lasted until we got home but we noticed the bolts loosening up on the other side. Has anyone else had this problem? I have read some suggestions on other forums by people who have had the same problem. Some of suggested installing a plate on the back of the a frame and installing bolts that could go all the way through the frame with lock nuts securing the bolts. The plate would serve to reinforce the frame to prevent damage to the frame.
