I have two great weight distribution system options for a 2013 Cozy Travel Trailer, the Reese Weight Distribution System part # RP65509 and the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System part # FA94-00-0600. The main difference between the Reese and Fastway systems is that the Fastway system has integrated sway control whereas the Reese system does not. The integration of sway control will help you keep control of the trailer in all sorts of scenarios (cross winds, passing semis etc.). I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System if you have the budget because the integrated sway control is really a big upgrade but either system will work well to help level the tow vehicle which equates to a better and safer ride.
Please note, you will need a hitch ball still for either system and for this you can use the 2" Hitch Ball part # A-90
