It fits most 2 inch ball mounts with a 1 inch ball shank hole and installs on either side, so you can add sway control to your towing setup without welding or drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrailer sway is one of those things you don't think about until you feel it. A gust hits, a semi blows past, and the back of the rig starts to wag. A friction sway control bar tames that motion, but it has to bolt to something solid on your hitch. That's exactly what the Camco Eaz-Lift 48386 sway control ball mount adapter gives you. It's the small ball-and-bracket that provides a clean attachment point for the sway control arm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's how it works. Your sway control bar runs from the trailer A-frame to a fixed point near the hitch ball. This adapter bolts onto your existing ball mount and sits off to the side, giving the sway control's forward socket a ball to grab. Without it, there's nowhere to anchor that end of the bar. It's a simple piece, but it's the difference between a sway control you can actually use and one that's still sitting in the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 48386 fits most 2 inch ball mounts that have a 1 inch ball shank hole. That covers a big share of the weight-distribution and standard ball mounts out there. Before you order, take a quick look at your ball mount. You're checking two things. Is it built for a 2 inch shank ball, and is the shank hole 1 inch across? If yes, this adapter bolts right up. If your mount uses an odd hole size or a tapered shank, measure first so you're not guessing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the things we like about this piece is that it can be installed on either side. Left or right, your call. Which side you pick usually comes down to where your sway control bar wants to run and which side of the trailer gives you the cleanest line back to the A-frame bracket. On a lot of travel trailers, folks set it up on the driver side, but there's no rule. If you're running two friction sway controls, one per side, you'd use one adapter on each side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is bolt-on. No welding, no drilling into your frame. You loosen or remove the hitch ball, slide the adapter's plate into position using the existing 1 inch shank hole, and torque everything back down. Basic wrenches get it done in a driveway. Snug the hardware properly and re-check it after your first trip, the same as you'd do with any towing hardware that sees road vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatibility is really the whole game with a part like this, so it's worth spending a minute up front. Grab a tape measure and check the ball shank hole on your current mount. A true 1 inch hole and a 2 inch ball platform mean you're good to go. If you've got an aftermarket drop mount with a thick or oddly shaped shank, just confirm the hole diameter before ordering. Measuring twice here saves a return and a wasted weekend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this for? Anybody adding a friction sway control to a travel trailer, pop-up, or utility trailer and needing the ball-mount attachment point to complete the setup. It's also the part people come looking for when the original adapter went missing during a hitch swap or got left at a campground. If you already run a weight-distribution hitch and want to add sway control, this is often the missing link that lets the two work together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA couple of honest notes. This is the adapter and its ball, not the sway control bar itself, so if you're starting from scratch you'll want the control arm too. And it won't magically fix a badly loaded trailer. Sway control helps, but proper tongue weight and smart loading do the heavy lifting. Get the trailer balanced first, then let this adapter and your sway bar handle the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt carries the Eaz-Lift name, Camco's towing line, so it's built to the same standard as the rest of that hardware. For a small part, it earns its keep every time the wind picks up on the interstate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBolt-on installation, no welding or frame drilling required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits most 2 inch ball mounts with a 1 inch ball shank hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProvides the anchor point a friction sway control bar needs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInstalls on either the left or right side for flexible routing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEaz-Lift towing hardware, Camco's trailer-towing line\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks alongside a weight-distribution hitch to add sway control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse one per side when running dual friction sway controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Camco reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eDoes the 48386 include the sway control bar itself?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eNo. This is the bolt-on ball mount adapter that gives the sway control bar a place to anchor.
