Noise when backing up my 22FBS travel trailer.

Is it the hitch setup? My hitch snaps, crackles, and pops like crazy. it is normal though for a WD/anti-sway hitch to do that though.

Before backing up it is a good idea to loosen your sway bar and turn your trailer brakes off.
Some people will even take the torsion bars off before backing up as well.
However, if it was not making the popping sounds, I would be worried that the WD stuff wasn't set up right!

Trying to find out where sounds come from outside is tough. Sounds travel and like I said, any 2 axle trailers suspensions will make noise when they get twisted backing up. Next time you go camping, disconnect the WDH and see if the noise is still there. Do you put a light coat of grease on the hitch ball? Remember your really cranking the trailer hitch down on the ball with a WDH.

Bob&Patty,
Yep, I'll try disconnecting the WDH and see if that might be it.
Now on the greasing the ball hitch..... it's needing some, what kind of lube does everyone use?
Motor oil like 30 wt. or similar? But it's needing some for sure!
Thanks!

A squirt of WD40 is what I used to use on my regular ball hitch . . .
