Will Reese High-Perf SC Weight Distribution # 66155 fit V-Nose Trailer with an 800 lb. Tongue Weight

Expert Reply:

In short, yes you can use the Reese High Performance SC Weight Distribution System, part # RP66155, with your V-Nose trailer. Normally you mount the trailer frame brackets 29 inches from the center of the ball along the sides of the frame. In your case, since you have a V-Nose trailer, you may not be able to mount 29 inches back. However, there are shorter acceptable ranges for this weight distribution system depending on tongue weight.

Since you are right around 800 pounds tongue you would use that measurement range which is 20 to 27 inches from the center of the ball. If you cannot mount the brackets on your frame within this range, you would need a different Weight Distribution system. Remember, the closer you mount the brackets to the coupler, the stiffer the ride will be. I have included a link to the instructions for this system, refer to Fig. 6 in the instructions to see the measurement and weight ranges.

Please note that the part you were looking at, # RP66155, does not include a ball and you would need one to complete the system. You can find links to shanks at the bottom of the # RP66155 page.
