TWO-IN-ONE
The Fastway e2 has been available in Australia for about five years . It is imported from the US , where it is said to be the most popular WDH on the market , by Titan RV .
How does it work ? The e2 ’ s weight distribution function works much the same as the other WDHs on the market . There is a drop hitch for the towbar ’ s hitch receiver , steel brackets to attach to the caravan ’ s A-frame , and heavyduty torsion bars for levering weight to the vehicle ’ s front-end and back to the caravan ’ s tyres , levelling the ride in the process .
However , there is one crucial difference : rather than being held in position by steel chains , the e2 ’ s torsion bars sit on special L- shaped brackets , the height of which can be adjusted according to your setup ’ s needs . Each bar needs to be levered up with the aid of a bar provided , as with other WDHs .
These bars are ‘ free ’ to slide backwards and forwards ; however , the steel-on-steel friction creates natural anti-sway characteristics . This friction is constantly working against caravan sway , whether it is caused by cross-winds or the passing of a truck , or something else .
