Hello Sonya, thanks for reaching out. The Weigh Safe True Tow Weight Distribution Hitch # WS79VR will work nicely with the Ember Overland 190MSL. The weigh safe WD hitch is made for trailer with a GVWR under 8,500 lbs, and the 190MSL has a 5,815 lb GVWR which is well within parameters. This means there will be adequate tension on the spring bars so you will see good ride leveling and effective sway control. The built-in scale is a nice feature too.
Just keep in mind the frame brackets for this WD hitch must be placed between 27" and 32" back from the hitch ball. You will want to inspect the tongue of your trailer and make sure there are no obstruction in this location.
Also, it comes with a 2-5/16" ball so please confirm this is correct for your trailer.
