The Energizer ECG-2 6V batteries are 220Ah batteries from the information at the store. ;D

I do see all the comments about not using friction sway control, and do appreciate the hints on how to set them.  SO if i cannot use a weight distributed hitch as my vehicle manual clearly says not to (Land Rover Discovery II) what sway control should I use?  ???

I know about the adjusting items, but what is tight or loose?  What determines how tight or loose you make them and how do you determine the setting that works best for you setup?  How do you feel this "friction" that is tight or loose?  Is it the ability to move the sway control bar itself that...

OK, towed small utility trailers and '60s vintage pop-up, but now I am looking at a used 1991 26' Shasta and trying to put the numbers together to make sure I can tow it safely and change my 4-pin flat plug over to the 7-pin with electric brakes.  I have an '01 Land Rover Discovery II w/o air...
