Expert Reply:
Finding the right weight distribution system will require knowing the loaded tongue weight of your setup. You can use a scale like the Big Truck Big RV # BTBRV27FR, # BTBRV99FR, or follow one of the methods outlined in the help article below. You can also get a good idea using the GVWR since tongue weight is typically 10-15% of the loaded trailer weight. Ideally you want this number to fall into the middle of the tongue weight range of the system.
For a quality WDH that is widely considered the best I recommend choosing the Equal-i-zer system. You can choose from the following based on your tongue weight:
-Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37040ET (tongue weight up to 400 lbs)
-Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37060ET (tongue weight range 200 - 600 lbs)
-Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37100ET (600 lbs - 1,000 lbs)
-Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37120ET (800 lbs - 1,200 lbs)
-Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37140ET (1,000 lbs - 1,400 lbs)
-Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ64FR (1,200 lbs - 1,600 lbs)
