Installation Instructions for Reese Dual Cam Weight Distribution System
Updated 03/23/2016 | Published 03/21/2016
Question:
I am waiting for the arrival of a front mount hitch and heavier duty 1200 lb trunnion bars for my Reese WD Dual Cam assembly. My question is this...can you provide me complete installation materials for the WD Dual Cam system. I am removing it from a Rockwood Roo 21SS which is about 1500lbs. lighter than the UltraLite and will be reinstalling it on a Rockwood Signature UltraLite. I am particularly concerned about establishing the correct ball platform angle and the procedure to make sure I get it right. Plus send any other thoughts or advice you might have. Thank you.

Set-up of a Reese dual cam weight distribution system like # RP66083 is shown in the linked video. The complete written instructions are also linked for you.
It is important to know your trailer's fully-loaded road-ready tongue weight (TW) when selecting a system. The spring bars need to be selected based on the actual weight load on them, which consists of the trailer's TW plus the weight of anything in the truck bed that sits behind the rear axle, such as a cooler or generator. You total TW should fall into the middle of the system's operating range.
For example, the Reese # RP66083 trunnion bars, rated for 400- to 800-lbs of TW, are ideally suited to a total TW of 600-650-lbs.
