Recommended Weight Distribution System for a 4,500 Lb Fleetwood Pop-Up Camper  

Question:

Expert Reply:

The Curt Weight Distribution System part # C17341 would be a good choice for your Fleetwood Pop-Up Camper in regards to the weight range capability but I recommend you go with the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System part # C17499 instead. The reason for this is because the TruTrack has integrated trailer sway control and prevention as well which will help you maintain your trailer at highway speed in the event of crosswinds or a semi passing. The spring bars are also typically easier to engage when compared to the chain hangers on the above system.

The other thing to note is that the TruTrack comes with a 10-year warranty compared to the 1-year warranty of the above. Regardless of which system you choose you will also need a hitch ball, part # A-90.

I do have another question, why was this SKU below not recommended. It is $ cheaper than the other with same TW rating. Curt MV Weight Distribution System - Round Bar - 8,000 lbs GTW, 800 lbs TW Item # C17051. I am ready to purchase the #C17051. Thoughts?

The reason you will want to use the Curt Weight Distribution System part # C17341 instead of the Curt MV Weight Distribution System part # C17051 is because it comes with trunnion spring bars which offer more ground clearance than the round spring bars included with the latter. This is not so much of an issue on larger trucks but it could very well be for SUV's like your Q7 so you will really want to use the trunnion bar system, part # C17341.
