I recommend the # FA92-00-0800 Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control system for your travel trailer. The same company that makes Equal-i-zer also makes Fastway.
The tongue weight capacity is 400-800 lbs, so your tongue weight falls nicely in the middle. The Fastway features a 2-point sway control system which limits side-to-side movement. It also uses brackets to attach to the trailer frame which eliminates the need for any drilling.
You will also need a hitch ball like the # EQ91-00-6080 for 2" or the # EQ91-00-6100 for 2-5/16".
If 572 lbs is your dry tongue weight and your loaded tongue weight exceeds the # FA92-00-0800 800 lbs limit, I recommend going with the # FA94-00-1033 Fastway instead. It has a tongue weight range of 600-1,000 lbs.
I have attached a video review of the Fastway as well as a helpful article on how to determine trailer tongue weight for your reference.
