Hello Emmanuel, thanks for reaching out. What I recommend for you is the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # BLU47FR. This is made for trailers with a tongue weight between 600 and 800 lbs. Your Forest River 26CJ is going to be right within that range to where you will see good ride leveling and effective sway control. The Blue Ox systems are also fairly easy to set up. The hitch ball comes

Please note, the frame brackets for this system must be placed between 20" and 25" back from the center of the hitch ball. You will want to measure your frame and make sure there are no obstructions on the frame in this location.

The video I linked below will show you this Blue Ox WD system in more detail. Leave a reply below with any questions or comments and I will get back to you.

@Emmanuel So the Blue Ox I mentioned technically is 2-point, but it will perform better than most any 4-point system. If you really want a 4-point system, take a look at the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control - 10,000 lbs GTW, 1,000 lbs TW # EQ37100ET.

@JesseM i have this Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Round - 2-5/16" Hitch Ball - 10K GTW - FA94-00-1061 The one you told me is better because with this one I feel that the RV trailer moves

@Emmanuel Yes I do believe you would see better results with the Equal-i-zer system since it is 4-point. Sometimes we will also look at beefing up your trucks suspension to help with stability. But Switching to a 4-point system will help.
