Overview
Fit a friction sway controller without drilling into your A-frame — this bolt-on mount kit replaces the existing bolt-in mount, suiting 3"-6" A-frames. Applies friction damping between the tow hitch and trailer to help prevent dangerous trailer sway.
Common questions
Does this include the sway controller itself?
No, this is the mount that puts a friction sway controller on your A-frame without drilling. If you do not already have the controller, you need both parts. The kit exists because putting holes in an A-frame is a decision plenty of owners would rather not make.
Why avoid drilling the A-frame at all?
Because the A-frame is structure, and holes in the wrong spot put a stress riser exactly where you do not want one. Some van builders take a dim view of it too. Clamping around the rail keeps the metal intact and lets you move the mount later.
Is friction sway control enough on its own?
For a light camper on sealed roads it takes the edge off. On anything heavier, friction damping is a partner to a weight distribution system, not a substitute. It slows a sway that has already started, where correct weight distribution and loading stop it from starting.
