considering its rated for 3500 lbs, im guessing this wouldn't work for my 30 ft 5500lb camper?

I suspect that you might want to get a weight distribution hitch and if necessary a double sway control.

I think the description is relating to a receiver hitch set up and not this sway control. As already stated this is a friction device and not a load bearing one. The 3500 and 350 weights listed are for a Class 2 hitch/receiver.

Thanks all, I'm sure 250lbs would be fine, but figured a higher weight capacity would be stronger & last longer. BTW contacted the manufacturer who advised Amazon was right it's 300lbs.

Good evening Robert,It"s up to you to use or not, but according to my expiririence I'm using two jucs for my RV trailer 30ft, 8800 lbs. Please let me know if you have any questions. Best regards. Leonid Shats

I bought this fo my husband and he weighs 220 lbs. and it works great but as for 250 lbs. I would check what the manufacturer states would be any limits. Good luck.

It extends to 17", so you would only have 1/4" compression against the tires. This would probably work on level ground. But if you were parked on even a slight grade, it may not be enough to hold your camper in place?

I believe they set a 300lbs limit but as we never used it I can tel you that from the look of it and it's weight it seems too flimsy for holding that weight

Please don't hold me to this, but I think I read somewhere a 300 lb max. I would check with the manufacturer to be certain.

Personally I would correct the installation. It may not move and appear solid but do you want to risk it with 300lbs on your back? I wouldn't. This is a safety issue and should definitely be corrected.

I have a 900 pound overhead camper on my Tundra. This seems to work fine, but I'm not sure it would with anything heavier.

The straps are rated pretty high and I strap a 450 lb. 4 wheeler to my trailer and it does not move in transit. I think the strap may work well for you.

When i was purchasing this i could not find a published weight limit at all so i took a swing since it was so cheap and see what happened, im a big guy at just under 300 lbs and it worked great for me so if you less than that then it should work great :)

I read it was 300 lbs.... I think. It would take a LOT to break or bend this thing.

There are units designed to handle a 300 lb person, but the unit we purchased will not handle 300 lb person. The unit we purchased is really great and we are very happy with the unit.

I'm not sure, it looked kind of flimsy but I've got 400 plus lbs on it and have had no problems.

I think it is rated at 250 to 300 lbs max but you should bear in mind that the heaver the weight and the longer the use would take its toll on the equipment sooner.

I imagine that it will work. But you are definitely pushing the weight limit a little bit since it is rated for 220 pounds max. I think something with inflatable tires might be your best bet.

Yes it will, but I suggest a tire gage to double check the pressure. My unit runs about 5 lbs. lower than what I set it for, but not always exactly that amount. So in other words, If I want to inflate the tire to 35 lbs. if I set it for 40, it may do 37 or 34 or 39. Not a big deal, but it takes a bit of getting used to.
