This patent-pending system actively makes towing safer by detecting trailer sway and applying the trailer brakes before that sway can build into a dangerous situation — giving you an electronic safety net for highway driving, wind gusts, passing semis, and emergency maneuvers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow Sway Command Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSway Command pairs an \u003cstrong\u003eaccelerometer\u003c\/strong\u003e (which measures lateral force) with a \u003cstrong\u003egyroscope\u003c\/strong\u003e (which measures angular velocity) to quickly and accurately tell the difference between side-to-side sway and normal up-and-down road movement. That distinction is key — it lets the system respond to genuine sway while preventing false activation from ordinary bumps and dips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen sway is detected, an advanced microprocessor applies the trailer brakes \u003cstrong\u003ein pulses\u003c\/strong\u003e to dampen the movement without locking up the brakes, smoothly bringing your trailer back under control rather than jolting it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCatches What Your Hitch Can't\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSway Command specifically detects side-to-side trailer movement that your weight distribution hitch doesn't control, adding a layer of active protection on top of your existing setup. A \u003cstrong\u003elight pod mounts to the front of the trailer\u003c\/strong\u003e and signals to the driver when the system is functioning properly, so you always know it's working.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWorks Alongside Your Existing Equipment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSway Command operates independently of your existing brake controller — in the event of a short or disconnect, neither Sway Command nor your brake control will be affected. It also works with weight distribution hitches that have sway control systems, and it has been rigorously tested in sway-inducing towing conditions, including emergency maneuvers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sway Command is not a replacement for weight distribution and sway bars, which are still required for safe towing. It's an added layer of protection that works with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePatent-pending Sway Command technology\u003c\/strong\u003e applies trailer brakes to dampen sway\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccelerometer + gyroscope\u003c\/strong\u003e accurately differentiate sway from normal movement to prevent false activation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePulsed braking\u003c\/strong\u003e suppresses sway without locking up the trailer brakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDetects side-to-side movement\u003c\/strong\u003e your weight distribution hitch doesn't control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront-mounted light pod\u003c\/strong\u003e signals proper system function to the driver\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperates independently\u003c\/strong\u003e of your existing brake controller\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorks with\u003c\/strong\u003e weight distribution hitches that have sway control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRigorously tested in real sway-inducing and emergency conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrand: Lippert Components\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eModel \/ Part Number: 380605\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType: Sway Command Tow Control Technology (complete kit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExterior: Painted\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDimensions: 25.4 x 17.15 x 11.43 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 907 g (approx. 2 lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Lippert","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57063906771247,"sku":null,"price":425.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/7663\/0063\/files\/112671_1.webp?v=1776797715","url":"https:\/\/thervsurplus.com\/en-ca\/products\/lippert-sway-command-tow-control-380605","provider":"The RV Surplus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
