Hello again, Doug. Thanks for providing all that detailed info. It definitely helps!
You are on the right track with the 12K Blue Ox 2-Point Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # BLU75FR. This will work on trailers with a tongue weight between 800 and 1200 lbs. It sounds like you will be right within this range at all times give or take the weight of your propane tanks.
The weight distribution hitch itself weighs about 95 lbs.
Just keep in mind the L-brackets must be places between 20" to 25" back from the center of the hitch ball, so please measure and make sure you have room in this spot on the frame. As long as your have room, this will be a solid option for the price.
The video I linked below will show you the features and installation in more detail.
Feel free to leave a reply with any other questions or comments and I am happy to get back to you.

Thanks for the reply. I was ready to order the Blue Ox however the placement of the brackets (20"-25") were impossible to make on this Keystone. The twin propane tank holder was exactly in that location. Therefore, I ended up ordering the "Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control - Trunnion - 12K GTW, 1.2K TW". And the bar brackets are past the 25" mark so fit will be perfect. Also, used my hitch scale today and hitch weight is approx. 920 lbs.
