Need advice on WDH
I have been using the Equalizer brand WDH to pull my TM 3023 and absolutely love it. However, I just purchased a TM 3124 KS (it has the front slide).
It appears that the portion of the hitch that attaches to the trailer frame to hold the steel bars is going to interfere with the slide out! Can anyone give me a suggestion as to which hitch setup I need to be looking at that will avoid interfering with the slide?
Any comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Haven't heard of any problems with WDH bracket interference with the slides.
Maybe a pic to show your concerns?

I do not use a WDH (do not want to add any load on the tires/axle) but am told this picture is of the mount for a WDH. It does not interfere with my slide.

Our 2922KS has a slide, and we have a Reese WDH. The attachment for the hitch is no higher than the propane tanks, and it does not interfere.

This was the Reese WDH setup on our 3326. The couch slide opened well past the hitch points with no issues. As others have said, if nothing is higher than existing equipment there shouldn't be problems.

The bracket for our Equalizer extends approx. 2.5 inches above the top of the frame. It easily clears the slideout LR on our '07 2720SL. The necessary height for your bracket may vary depending on the height of your TV hitch. You should be fine.

I have used a Robin WDH (a round bar hitch) for the last 7 years with our 2720SL, and have had no interference issues. I have heard rumblings of these problems, but I have never figured out what exactly the problem was.

I have the Andersen No Sway WDH hitch on my 2922KD. I did have to measure where to put the brackets to be out of the way and cut a few links out of the chain, but it has been the best add on I have put on the Trailmanor.

Did you resolve this issue, ie, did you install the equalizer and are you happy with it?

I had trouble with the slide framing in the way of an Anderson WDH on my 09 2720. The link below is how I modified it
