Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…

How can I make my vehicle more stable when towing?
Towing a heavy load can make your vehicle feel unsteady, especially if the rear sags under the weight. Adding air helper springs or jounce bumpers helps keep your truck or SUV level, improving control and reducing strain on your suspension. Keeping your trailer’s tongue weight properly balanced also plays a big role in keeping everything stable on the road.
Do I really need towing mirrors?
If your trailer is wider than your vehicle, yes. Towing mirrors improve your side and rear visibility, helping with lane changes, backing up, and turns. They’re easy to install and make towing safer.
What does a weight distribution hitch actually do?
A weight distribution hitch spreads the tongue weight of the trailer across your vehicle’s axles, improving steering, braking, and ride quality. Many systems also include sway control for better highway stability.
How does trailer sway control work?
Electronic sway control monitors trailer motion and applies braking or adjusts engine power to correct sway. It kicks in automatically when your trailer starts to drift or fishtail.
Are backup cameras worth it for towing?
Absolutely. Backup cameras help you line up your hitch, reverse more easily, and see behind your trailer. They’re especially useful for tight spaces or when towing alone.
