Lippert Components Inc. (LCI) reports that Jayco Australia has adopted its Sway Command Tow Control Technology across specific 2020 Jayco brand towables. Sway Command Tow Control Technology advanced patented microprocessors to electronically detects trailer sway and selectively apply the trailer brakes to suppress unwanted sway.
Utilizing both an accelerometer, which measures lateral force, and a gyroscope sensor, which measures angular velocity, Sway Command quickly and accurately differentiates between side-to-side and up-and-down movement to prevent false activation. For this reason, it does not need to be de-activated in off-road conditions. Most market competitors use only accelerometer technology.
Jayco Australia Global Sourcing Component Innovation and Technologies Manager Ken Miller said, “Innovation continues to be a key focus for Jayco in 2020, inclusive of its partnership with Lippert Components.
“Jayco Australia is proud to have developed a strong relationship with Lippert Components,” he said, “beginning with slide-out components many years ago.
“Innovation in caravanning, especially when it comes to safety, continues to be a driving force for Jayco Australia,” Miller said, “and we are excited to see new components, such as Sway Command, fitted to our world-leading RVs launching in February 2020.”
LCI CEO Jason Lippert said, “Our OEM partnerships are something we continually strive to enhance. Jayco’s adoption of Sway Command is a tribute to the long-standing relationships and product innovations that set us apart from competitors.”
