Question:
I have a 2016 Forest River Salem 261bhxl. I had a Reese pro series 49904 weight distribution hitch but someone stole the hitch from my truck. So I need a new weight distribution hitch with sway control. My tongue weight ranges from 700-1100lbs. I haul the camper with a 2020 F150. What Weight Distribution Hitch would you recommend?

Hey Mike, sorry to hear about your Reese system getting stolen! Thieves are the worst...for a replacement though the Reese # RE44FR would work great and essentially is the current version of what you had before so it would work great for you. You might also be interested in a hitch lock like the part # e98882 to make it harder for thieves to steal your setup.

Hey Mike, how did the new Reese weight distribution hitch work out with your F150 and Salem camper? Did the sway control feel solid on the road? Your feedback could help others looking for a similar setup.
