Expert Reply:
For a trailer that light towed by a full size truck like your 2021 Ram 1500 I wouldn't say that a weight distribution system is needed. A sway control device like the # 83660 with moving some of the cargo weight forward in the camper would to the best job with the little bit of sway that you mentioned.
