There are a few different ReCurve R3 weight rating options available so I don't know exactly what system you have and if it's properly rated for your trailer with just that info. Your old trailer was rated to weigh up to 4,400 lbs and your new one the Keystone Passport 221BH up to 7,000 lb. So if you have the ReCurve that's rated for up to 1,000 lb you'd be good.

Otherwise it would be a good time to upgrade to a system that is rated for your new trailer's weight like with the Reese RE44FR.
