Expert Answers about Fastway

Recommendation for Weight Distribution Systeml for 2009 Jeep Liberty and 3800 lb Trailer
For your 3800-lb trailer and 2009 Jeep Liberty, I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System with 2-Point Sway Control # FA92-00-0600. The system I am recommending has a GTW capacity of 6000 lbs and a tongue weight capacity of 600 lbs. I am including a link to the installation instructions for this item. This system includes everything you will need except the appropriately-sized hitch ball. If you need a hitch ball, you might be interested in the 2-5/16-inch ball # EQ91-00-6100 or t

Upgrading Spring Bars on a Fastway E2 Weight Distribution System for a Heavier Trailer
First, weight distribution and suspension enhancement can actually work against each other. The best thing for leveling the truck and trailer is weight distribution so I would stick with it. Since the tongue weight will be around 750 pounds, and could possibly be higher depending on if you are carrying anything behind the rear axle of the truck or not, I recommend the 1,000 pound spring bars, # FA94-02-1099, that you have referenced. They are sold in quantities of 1 so you would need to order

Weight Distribution/Sway Control Recommendation for a Shadow Cruiser with 528 Pounds Tongue Weight
The estimated 528 pound tongue weight is a little too close for comfort for the Fastway system # FA94-00-0600. I recommend going up to the 800 pound system, # FA94-00-0800. The sway control part is metal on metal. The systems are durable unless they are constantly working for some reason. Otherwise under normal conditions they should last you a good long while. The metal on metal can be noisy but any system is going to make some noise. In my opinion I would so with a Reese Strait-Line sy

Weight Distribution and Trailer Brake Controller Recommendations System for a 2001 Toyota Highlander
First, Hidden Hitch trailer hitch # 70777 is a fine choice and it is compatible with weight distribution. But you will want to check your vehicle owners manual to make sure the vehicle itself is compatible with weight distribution and the towing capacity of the vehicle is high enough for the tongue weight of your trailer. I have included links to the installation instructions and a link to a video showing a typical installation of the hitch for you. Since the gross trailer weight of the new t

Should Weight Distribution Be Used on a 2001 Ford F-150 Towing a Horse Trailer with a 9200lb GVWR
If your owners manual states that the maximum towing capacity of your 2001 Ford F-150 is 9200lbs, then it your trailer would be well below this rating, even with two horses loaded. In your situation, weight distribution would not technically be required, but you may still want to add a system if you feel like the trailer is not tracking well behind the vehicle or if it seems like you are getting excessive sway. It depends on how comfortable you feel your ride is with the current setup, as ther

What Weight Distribution/Sway Control System for Ford F-250F Pulling 6000 lb Car Hauler Trailer
The sag in your F-250 rear end and the loose handling when pulling your trailer can be corrected with a weight distribution/sway control system such as the Fastway e2, part # FA94-00-0800. An appropriate WD/SC system will level out your tow vehicle by placing more of the total weight load back on to your front axle, which will restore both braking and steering performance; and the sway control will help your trailer maintain straight-line tracking behind your F-250. A few things have to be s

Weight Distribution Shank with 6 Inch Drop for a Pro Series System on a 2003 Toyota Tundra TRD
I recommend using Reese shank # RP63971 which will give you up to a 6-1/2 inch drop when used with the round bars in the Pro Series weight distribution system # PS49903. A compatible shank that is exactly 6 inches is not available. Some manufacturers can use each others shanks but not all. The Reese shank will be the best option.

What WD/Sway Control System Will Fit a 2013 Forest River 27HFS Toy Hauler with 8-Inch Frame
The ideal choice of WD system will be one where your loaded trailer tongue weight (TW) falls in the middle of the systems usable range. A WD system that is too low in capacity will not provide the necessary stabilization; and one rated too high will be too stiff and result in erratic performance. If the trailer TW exceeds the capacity of the system, the spring bars could be damaged. If the WD system chosen is rated too high for the trailer TW then the spring bars will not flex enough, and the tr

What Holds the Spring Bar to the Brackets on Fastway Weight Distribution System # FA92-00-0600

These brackets also provide the sway control for system # FA92-00-0600.

How to Determine the Correct Wheel Chock for a Keystone Bullet 281 bhs
Most wheel chocks on the market are universal items and not trailer specific. To determine if the Fastway ONEstep Wheel Chocks, # FA84-00-4000, will work with your Keystone Bullet 281 bhs, we will need to know the spacing between your trailer wheels (see photo). This wheel chock is designed to work for 16 inch to 24 inch wheel spacing. If you measure the spacing on your wheels and determine that this wheel chock will work for you, you may be interested in the set, part # FA84-00-4840. The se

Weight Distribution System Recommendation for a 2004 Keystone Springer GVW 9680 lbs
The important factor to consider when choosing a weight distribution system is the fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of the trailer. You must also consider the weight of any cargo that will be loaded in the bed of your truck behind the rear axle. This will also contribute to the total tongue weight of the weight distribution system. You will want to choose a weight distribution system that can support the fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of your set up. The Fastway e2 Wei

Replacing Swivel Jack on Coleman Fleetwood Pop-Up Trailer
It sounds like an A-Frame jack might be the way to go for you. If the gusset of your trailer tongue A-frame has the jack mounting holes, the Pro Series # PSRV20000103 would work great for you. The jack has a total lift of 14 inches, and a fully retracted mounting bracket height of 9 inches. If your A-frame does not have the mounting hole, you could replace the coupler with one that does. You will want to choose a coupler with the appropriate weight rating and for the same ball size as you are

Replacing the Rivet on a Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System Head
The rivet that comes with the spring bar release clip, # FA94-02-1059, for a FastWay weight distribution system gets pressed into place. If you can get something in the head far enough you may be able to drive it out. Or, the old one could have to be carefully pried out or, not as favorable, drilled out if it cannot be pulled out. Drilling it out can cause the holes to get too large or the heat could deform or weaken the metal of the bar so it is not an ideal method.

Recommended Fastway E2 Weight Distribution System for 4430 lb Dry Weight Rockwood Mini Lite TT
To determine the proper system for your needs, you will first need to determine the actual fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of your camper. You will also need to add the weight of anything stowed behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle to the tongue weight figure. For instance, if your fully loaded tongue weight is 510 lbs, and you have 200 lbs of gear stored behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle, your tongue weight would be 710 lbs.

Recommended Weight Distribution for 2001 Coleman Utah Camper Being Towed With 2004 Ford Explorer
If you have a swing-up jack on your 2001 Coleman Utah camper you will need the Reese Weight Distribution System, part # RP66041. This system has additional brackets with longer spring bars that will let the weight distribution system clear the swing-up jack. It combines weight distribution and sway control. I am including a link to the installation instructions on the Reese system. This weight distribution system has a maximum towing weight capacity of 3,500 lbs and a maximum tongue weight ca

Weight Distribution for a 2001 Coleman Utah Popup Camper Trailer and 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
If the tongue weight on your camper plus the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the Jeep is greater than 600 pounds but less than 800 pounds, go with the 800 pound system, # FA94-00-0800. If you will always be lower than 600 pounds then the 600 pound system, # FA94-00-0600, will work just fine. Both of these systems have built-in friction sway control so you will not need to add any. You will need to add a properly sized ball. For a 2 inch use # EQ91-00-6080 and for a 2-5/

Will the Fastway Power A-Frame Trailer Jack Fit a 2013 Keystone Outback 210RS Travel Trailer
The 2013 Outback 210RS is going to be similar to the 2012 280RS in terms of clearance and the propane tank. You will want to go with a powered jack that provides the most clearance possible and that would be a jack like # FA88-00-7065. The only time you will run into trouble is if you had to manually crank the jack for any reason. The handle goes in at the top and based on images I saw of your trailer you would not be able to turn the handle a full 360 degrees.

Interchangeability of Weight Distribution System Parts
If the Fastway round bars just so happened to fit in a Reese (Draw-Tite) weight distribution head, it would be purely coincidental. Neither manufacturer will confirm that their components will work with those of a competitor. When Draw-Tite or Fastway states that a given system is rated for a specific tongue weight, it is because each component of the system has been designed and rigorously tested to ensure that they work together. Once one component is replaced with another part, you have go

Measuring Tire Spacing to Determine Which Fastway ONEstep Wheel Chock is Needed
To determine which of the Fastway ONEstep Wheel Chocks would work best for you, you would need to measure the distance between your tires at the pavement level, where they touch the pavement, as shown in the photo I edited for you. If this measurement is 16 through 24 inches, use part # FA84-00-4000. If the dimension is 24 to 30 inches, go with part # FA84-00-4150.

Choosing Fastway or Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System for 3500 lb Haul Mark V-Nose Trailer
As a first step, I would verify the fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of the trailer to ensure that the TW does not exceed the manufacturer stated 350 lb TW limit of your Terrain. Remember that the weight of any gear stowed behind the rear axle in the cargo area of your Terrain needs to be included as tongue weight. I have linked you to an FAQ article that shows how to determine your actual tongue weight. The 600 lb system capacity you mention is a maximum amount, the 350 lb tongue

Weight Distribution System Recommendation for a Fleetwood Evolution E1 Pop-up Camper Trailer
The unique frame on the Fleetwood Evolution E1 camper trailer is going to require a special set up for weight distribution. You will need to do is use a system that hangs the spring bars from chains and then use special brackets that attach to the side of the frame rather than clamp onto the top. For a system rated for 400 to 800 pounds tongue weight, you could use # 49586, and then use chain hangers, # RP58305. The chain hangers will fit on frames no wider than 2-1/4 inches unless longer bol

Recommendation for Weight Distribution on 2009 Chevy Trailblazer Towing Jayco 4,600-Lb Trailer
Since the towing capacity of your 2009 Chevrolet TrailBlazer is 5,200 lbs and you are towing a 4,600-lb dry weight trailer, you will want to be careful and not overload the trailer with extra cargo that might put you over the 5,200-lb limit. Also, when loading the trailer make sure to load 60 percent of the cargo closer to the front (tongue) of the trailer. This will also help with sway control of the trailer. For your 2009 Chevrolet TrailBlazer 4WD towing a 5,200-lb trailer the tongue weight

Weight Distribution for a Palomino Stampede Trailer and Chevy Silverado 1500
The 1,200 pound Draw-Tite systems do have some beef to them, but they actually are good for a range of tongue weights. Specifically, you are looking at 600 to 1,200 pounds tongue weight capacity. Also when calculating tongue weight, you have to add to the trailer tongue weight the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. For example if the trailer weighs 5,400 pounds when loaded and ready to tow, and 10 to 15 percent of that is tongue weight (540 to 810) pounds, and

This jack has good clearance for your propane tank cover and comes with the Flip Foot, which is a really nice addition that rotates up out of the way automatically when the jack is raised.

Is Sway Control Needed When Towing a R-Pod 173T Trailer with a Ford Excursion
Sway control is not necessarily needed when towing smaller trailers like your R Pod 173T, but it would not hurt to have one. The best way to determine if you need sway control on your trailer is to load your trailer as if you were leaving for a trip and drive around for a few miles on the highway and see if sway might be an issue. If you feel that your trailer is swaying more than you are comfortable with, then you could go with an individual sway control bar like the Pro Series Friction Swa

Weight Distribution System Recommendation for a 22 Ft Hi-Lo Trailer Towed by a 1997 Ford F-150
The gross vehicle weight rating is the limit that the overall weight of your trailer, including a full load, should not exceed. As a general rule the tongue weight of your trailer is going to be about 10 to 15 percent of your gross trailer weight. It is important that you know the gross trailer weight and tongue weight of your trailer before choosing a weight distribution system. You will want a weight distribution system that is rated higher than the dry tongue weight of your trailer. The Fa

Troubleshooting Sway Issues on a 33 ft Trailer With the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System
The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System, # FA94-00-0800, has a built in sway control system and will not support additional sway control systems. A few things that you can check to help with sway issues is to make sure the tongue weight of your trailer is about 10 to 15 percent of your gross trailer weight by adding more weight to the front of the trailer. Too much weight at the back of the trailer can cause trailer sway as well. You could also raise the L-brackets or add washers to the
