The most important factor to consider when choosing a weight distribution system is the total tongue weight of your setup. This includes both the loaded tongue weight of your 2006 Starcraft Hybrid Antigua, along with any added cargo weight coming from behind the rear axle of your Toyota Tacoma. Ideally, you will want this number to fall somewhere around the middle of the tongue weight capacity range for the weight distribution system you choose.
I'm not sure if the 476 tongue weight you provided in your question is with the trailer fully loaded. If the loaded tongue weight of your trailer (as if it is ready for a trip) plus the weight from behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle falls somewhere between 550 and 750 pounds, then the Pro Series RB3 Weight Distribution System # PS49582 referenced in your question will work great. You will just need to add a compatible hitch ball like the 2 inch # A-90.
If you find that your total tongue weight ends up being less, the Pro Series RB3 # PS49581 with a 550 pound tongue weight capacity might be the better option.
I recommend using a tongue weight scale like the etrailer # e99044 to verify your trailer's loaded tongue weight.
I have attached a video demonstration on the RB3 Weight Distribution System as well as an article on the subject that you might find helpful.
