Recommended Weight Distribution System for a Trailer w/ a 1,050 lbs Tongue Weight

Question

Question:

Hi I have a Palomino Puma 2022 32BHQS and the hitch weight is just over 1,000 pounds. Should I purchase a 1000 pound sway bar or go up to a 1200 pound sway bar since it would be heavier once loaded and packed?

I would go the next level up from the 10,000 lbs item # BXW1000 which will still keep you in the 1,000 lbs tongue weight range. Blue Ox's next step up is the 15,000 lbs SwayPro Weight Distribution item # BXW1500. This system has a tongue weight range of 1,000 lbs - 1,5000 lbs so you will be more then comfortable with this set up.

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…
