Owning an RV is a significant investment. From the tow vehicle to the trailer, every mile traveled comes with wear and tear—especially when trailer sway enters the equation. Over time, even minor oscillations can cause damage, stress, and safety risks.

The ProPride 3P® Hitch is designed not only to provide complete trailer sway elimination but also to protect your investment—keeping your rig safe, stable, and in top condition for years of worry-free towing.


1. Reduces Structural Stress on the Trailer

Trailer sway transfers lateral forces to the trailer frame, suspension, and hitch components. Over time, these forces can cause:

  • Frame warping or bending
  • Uneven wear on suspension components
  • Premature loosening of bolts or connections

By eliminating sway, ProPride stops these lateral stresses at the source, preserving your trailer’s structural integrity and extending its lifespan.


2. Minimizes Wear on the Tow Vehicle

A swaying trailer doesn’t just stress the trailer—it affects your tow vehicle too:

  • Steering components work harder to compensate
  • Tires experience uneven wear
  • Brakes undergo extra strain during corrections

ProPride’s Pivot Point Projection keeps the trailer aligned with the tow vehicle, reducing strain and helping maintain peak performance of your truck or SUV over time.


3. Protects Interior Components and Contents

Even small trailer sway can shake everything inside the RV:

  • Cabinets can loosen
  • Appliances may shift
  • Items may fall and break

Eliminating sway ensures a stable interior environment, keeping your possessions secure and your RV in pristine condition, mile after mile.


4. Preserves Tire Health

Tires are one of the most critical and expensive components on both trailer and tow vehicle. Trailer sway contributes to:

  • Uneven tire wear
  • Heat buildup from friction
  • Reduced tire lifespan

With ProPride, the trailer tracks in line with the tow vehicle, minimizing lateral movement and protecting tires from excessive wear and tear.


5. Prevents Hitch Component Fatigue

Traditional sway control hitches rely on friction, springs, or dampers that wear out over time. Even weight distribution hitches leave the trailer pivot point free to oscillate.

ProPride is different:

  • Heavy-duty control links and one-piece yoke prevent pivoting
  • Powder-coated steel resists corrosion and wear
  • Bolt-in spring bars reduce component fatigue

This design ensures your hitch remains reliable for years, protecting your RV investment by maintaining safe, controlled towing.


6. Improves Safety During Long-Term Use

Preventing sway isn’t just about comfort—it’s about long-term safety. Repeated sway events, even minor ones, can gradually compromise:

  • Trailer and vehicle frames
  • Suspension and braking components
  • Steering precision

ProPride eliminates sway completely, meaning your rig faces fewer stresses and stays safer throughout its lifetime.


7. Enhances Resale Value

An RV that has experienced sway over time may show wear that reduces resale value:

  • Twisted frames or hitch points
  • Interior damage from shifting items
  • Excessive tire and suspension wear

Using ProPride helps maintain your RV in top condition, making it more attractive and valuable when it’s time to upgrade or sell.


Final Takeaway

Your RV is a long-term investment—and trailer sway is one of the most overlooked threats to its longevity. The ProPride 3P® Hitch protects your investment by:

  • Eliminating lateral forces
  • Reducing wear on the trailer, tow vehicle, and tires
  • Preserving interior components and overall safety

With ProPride, every mile is stress-free, safe, and gentle on your RV, ensuring it remains reliable and valuable for years to come.
