Question:

We have two tow vehicles and two campers similar tongue weight. Can this be easily shared between vehicles and campers or is it a lengthy process to switch between them? Ex. We take the dually if we are going down the Interstate or take the Nissan to the back country. I take the small camper by myself or the larger one if my spouse goes. Will one Equalizer work for us?

Yes, the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System part # EQ37060ET can easily be transferred between different vehicles and trailers. However, what makes this system so great is the head tilt mechanism which I would have to recommend you adjust for each trailer/tow vehicle. What you can do though to save time is purchase an extra set of frame brackets, part # EQ95-01-5600 (2) so that you only have to transfer the head, shank, and spring bars to the tow vehicle. This also makes for one less step in the initial setup.

In regards to weight capacity, the system you referenced is rated for 200 lbs - 600 lbs. However, I always recommend you go up to the next size up from what you think you need as this will allow for more room to add extra weight. Therefore, part # EQ37100ET would be your best option even if you are not anywhere near the 1,000 lb weight capacity.

The EQ37060ET comes with a 2" hitch ball whereas the EQ37100ET comes with a 2-5/16" hitch ball but if you need to swap one out for the other you can use part # EQ91-00-6080 or part # EQ91-00-6100.
