Hi there, travel trailer owners. Today we're gonna be taking a look at ProPride's P3 weight distribution hitch. ProPride's 3P weight distribution system, is an all in one anti-sway and weight distribution solution. Unlike some of the other options out there that boast they both help with weight distribution and are also anti-sway, this one here takes it to a whole nother level with their 3P system, which is their pivoting point projection system. And you can see that's this system right here. What this does is it takes the pivot away from the ball where you would traditionally hook up, and it transfers it to these pivoting points here.

These actually will turn and this system will move to ensure that your trailer can still pivot the way it needs to turn, but it eliminates any sway side to side 'cause the system can't just move like your typical ball and rock like your typical ball. It has to move in a specific pattern. That key keeps it following and tracking with your truck. You can see the arms here as they go around. This is what locks out the coupler.

These go down to a pivoting point here at the front and that just keeps our trailer locked in with our hitch right here. Our traditional sway bars are found down here on the bottom and they are hooked up with solid links to the jacking mechanisms. And it's nice that they have the solid links here that does give it an anti-sway property. 'Cause with your typical chain it does have some minimal effect on sway but with it being solid here it basically works just like your front sway bar or your rear sway bar does on your regular vehicles. You've got a solid attachment point.

That's kind of like the end link on your sway bar. And then this is kind of like the rest of the bar going down the actual sway bar itself 'cause as the trailer wants to sway this way it has to push down and that's gonna flex on this bar. But also if this side's going down, then that means the other side needs to come up and that means it's gonna be pulling up on the bar since it's solid. Having this on both sides makes them work with each other to greatly minimize sway. And the big thing here though is that the pivoting points here.

'Cause if you get any crosswinds and things like that that cause the trailer to sway like this, not top heavy side to side a bit more in this manner, this is gonna drastically eliminate that type of sway as well. So you're gonna have that vertical sway reduction as well as a horizontal sway reduction. We're now gonna go ahead and take it out on our test course. First, we're gonna go on the course we have here in our parking lot and then we'll take it out on the road. On the test course on the parking lot, we're gonna hit our uneven bump section first. And when we go into this this is gonna mimic hitting potholes and uneven terrain. And our truck's got some pretty stiff suspension. We definitely feel our truck when we hit the bumps. But when we go over the first bumps and our trailer hits, it's significantly reduced on how it felt before. It is a bit stiffer with this installed. So you do feel a little bit of transfer but as far as the amount of sway that you feel with the trailer rocking back and forth has been greatly diminished. Next, we hit the even bump section and this is where you'll feel purposing. And when we hit these, you really don't feel a whole lot. The weight distribution system does a good job keeping the truck and trailer level. When going over this, it definitely minimizes the purposing. And lastly, we're gonna go into our slalom section and this is going to mimic an evasive maneuver. And when you go into this section, right away I have plenty of confidence. We turn left, we turn right. You do hear some popping noises back on the hitch at the back. That's pretty normal to hear those noises. But as far as the way it feels inside, you've got plenty of control and there's no white knuckle here. You'll have plenty of energy and you'll have the confidence you need if you we're to be in a situation where you needed to make a quick evasive maneuver. This is also gonna make a big difference when changing lanes on the highway. You can easily quickly get over in one lane instead of having to creep over like you would before. But compared to what it was before with no weight distribution and our customer's previous Blue Ox Sway Pro, the sway has been almost eliminated in comparison with those. And one of the coolest things I noticed, is when I was making quick lane chan
