What Weight Distribution Hitch w/Anti Sway do You Recommend for Using My Pop-Up Camper?

Question

Question:

Thank you for your advice regarding my Rockwood pop up. I just realized it has a double frame at the tongue. Would this hitch still work or do you recommend something else? I would really like one that I can back with. Thanks

For a great weight distribution hitch that provides you with the extra control you need for towing your 2022 Rockwood 2280BHESP, I recommend the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - 7-Hole Shank - 6K GTW, 600 lbs TW # BLU36FR. This system comes with a shank that is compatible with 2" hitch receivers and it fits trailer frames up to 6" tall. As far as bracketing position, as long as you have 20" to 25" from the hitch ball of the TrackPro, you have enough frame length required. The TrackPro works even if you have items such as gas tanks, battery boxes, toolboxes, or generators mounted.

As far as your double frame, the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - 7-Hole Shank - 6K GTW, 600 lbs TW # BLU36FR will still work as long as your frame's height does not exceed 6 inches tall. In order to know for sure, I recommend measuring the total height of the frame in order to know if the brackets of the # BLU36FR fit. We unfortunately do not carry any weight distribution systems that are compatible if your frames are higher than 6 inches. Also, I recommend measuring from the center of your coupler to make sure that you have available frame mounting points 20-25 inches away from the coupler. This determines if you have enough length on your frame to use the # BLU36FR.

Answer 1

Yes, you can use the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution #BLU36FR with an extended shank, and for that I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank #EQ90-02-4600 which measures 14" from the center of the hitch pin hole out to the adjustment…
