How Much Does Weigh Safe True Tow Weight Distribution Hitch Weigh

Question

Question:

How much does the hitch assembly weigh with the 2-1/2” x 10” shank, head, and 2-5/16 ball? I can’t find that info. And I’m old! These things look heavy I don’t leave the hitch on the truck when not pulling the camper.
