Looks like a camper with a lift kit...I like it. I've worried a few times about pulling mine over rough bumpy dirt roads and driveways.

No, not at all... Been there a few times now, never been a concern. The refineries are visible from the front spots only...

Looks like you don't have any sway control so at the minimum, I would suggest at least a Friction sway bar. I just bought a Blue Ox Sway Pro system to replace my old Reese Strait-Line Sway Control system.

I know this is lets see your camper, but i thought this is the best place to ask. I just picked up a 2015 keystone summerland M-2020, 24ft 10in". 584 tongue and 4380 gross. I was looking at the equalizer 4 point WDH but which one would be best for my TT, the 600-6000 or 1000-10,000 WDH. Any help is apperciated. Thanks

Looking at their website it looks like 6500 fully loaded. I'd go with the up to 10k wdh. I may be looking at the wrong specs? http://www.keystonerv.com/summerland...b/model-mobile

Your right 4380 was dry weight. Thanks for the advice!

Appreciate the feedback! I do have a friction sway control, just didn't have it hooked up for this photo.
