Would the Pro Series Weight Distribution be the Correct Application for a 29-32 foot Travel Trailer

The Pro Series Trunnion Style Weight Distribution Kit with Shank, item # 49587, would most likely work on your trailer but there are some things to take into account when purchasing a weight distribution system. Fist you need to know how much room is allowed on the trailer frame for mounting the brackets that the spring bars are attached to. Once you know this you can make a decision on which weight distribution system will work with the trailer. You will also need to look at the weight distribution systems weight capacity. Increasing the weight capacity will not improve the amount of weight distribution but will cause a somewhat rougher ride, so choosing a system that your tongue weight falls into the middle of is the best way to go.

Normally the chain brackets or spring bar brackets are located around 29 inches from the center of the hitch ball on the trailer frame. There are systems that can be moved depending on the location of accessories on the trailer tongue. Once you know the amount of room on the trailer frame to mount the weight distribution brackets your selection will be easier to make.

With the information you provided I would recommend the High Performance Reese SC Weight Distribution System, 600 lbs. TW / 10,000 lbs. GTW, item # RP66151, which would work nicely with the tongue weight you have stated, and has integrated sway control for safety.
