Question:
Hello, I have a 35foot Motorhome that we will be towing a 24foot enclosed trailer that will be loaded with a 4 seater Polaris razor, a kids 170 Razor, and a few Quads. Im showing we will be at about 8000 lbs. total weight including the trailer. Looking to purchase a Curt TruTrack but not sure which one would be best. Thanks,

Helpful Expert Reply:
The correct Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System will be based on tongue weight, not necessarily gross trailer weight. That said, the average tongue weight will be around 10-15% of the trailer weight so we can estimate the tongue weight to be between 800 - 1,200 lbs. The part # C17500 which is rated for 1,000 lbs will put you right in the middle so this is what I recommend.
