Question:

I was told by a RV Dealer that a weight distribution hitch would not work on a Flagstaff HW29SC pop up camper. My truck is 2021 F150 GVWR 7150lbs, GCWR 14800lbs, payload is 2000lbs. Camper is GVWR 5000 and from reading several forums regarding true tongue weight, I am estimating tongue weight around 650 lbs. I probably dont need WDH but would like a peace of mind. 1st question - Can a WDH fit this camper? if so, which WDH do you recommend with my setup?

We can definitely help you out with a weight distribution system for your Flagstaff HW29SC!

I'm guessing the reason your RV Dealer said a WD can't be used on the trailer is because the top of the tongue where the brackets would mount is a bit crowded with your propane and battery banks. With this being the case I recommend installing the Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # RP66073 with the shank # RP54970 and then using the Chain Hangers # RP58305 so the chains will attach to the trailer on the side of the frame instead of having to mount brackets on top of the frame.

Attached are some videos for your reference. Let me know if you have any other questions!
