Helpful Expert Reply:

You will have 2 choices that will fit your current travel trailer.

The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37120ET is rated for tongue weights of 800-1,200lbs and a trailer weight up to 12,000lbs.

The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37140ET is rated for tongue weights of 1,000-1,400lbs and a trailer weight up to 14,000lbs.

You will need to choose the one that best suits your travel trailer weights as well as any future trailers that you may want to use with this hitch. Be sure to see the section of the instructions for an underslung coupler, you will need to flip the frame brackets upside down to allow you to install the sway brackets correctly.

To install the ball on the hitch, you will need a 1-7/8" 12pt Thin Walled Socket # ALL643216. And I recommend using the Sway Bracket Jackets # EQ95-01-5150 to cut down on the noise from the hitch as well as extend the life of the components.
