Question:
Hi All, I purchased and installed your Curtis Trailer Hitch Receiver and its working great for hauling materials for our landscaping project thanks!. I want to haul a pop-up camper trailer so am now researching weight distribution systems. There a lot to consider, so I thought Id ask the experts yall! to point me in the right direction. Heres what Ive got installed: Curtis trailer hitch receiver 2inch C13068 class III 3,500/5,000 pounds Ball mount 2753 7500 pounds Hitch ball 63845 7500 pounds Pin and Clip PC3 III, IV, V Thanks.

The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use.
The max tongue weight rating for the Curt hitch part # C13068 that you have when used with weight distribution is 500 lbs. So for a WD system with a tongue weight range that would work well for you I would recommend the Strait-Line System part # RP66082 as it has a tongue weight range of 200-600 lbs and features the only sway control on the market designed to prevent sway before it starts.

I don’t see where I thanked you for this! Thanks Jameson! (I’m about to refer someone to your website so was looking up the history of my purchase.)
