This was my comment:

I clearly stated the reasons for my opinion that the Reese is a better albeit perhaps more expensive choice.

"I clicked on and looked over the product link. I'm unimpressed. That company is a new one in the industry and it looks like a silly design to me. The friction contact points appear much too small to provide much sway damping.

A Reese dual cam hitch assembly is a far better design, one that has been in service for fifty years or more.

IMO that is a new product pushed by RV dealers that they buy cheap and sell at a price point near what a high quality Reese would sell for."

I suggested that the Reese is a better hitch because it is made by the largest and oldest company in the industry and the hitch itself is a proven 50 or more year old design.

The poster who like the other hitch stated no reason for his claim that his choice is "one of the best available."

My post was supported by evidence. His was not.

The difference should be fairly clear to most people.
