What Weight Distribution Hitch do I Want for My 2020 Jayco 18RBM Towed by a 2024 Ram 2500?

Question:

Can you recommend a WD hitch with sway control for a 2020 Jayco 18RBM towed by a 2024 Ram 2500? Weight not the issue, desire sway control, ease of installation and the ability to back trailer without removing bars. Thank you,

Hello Bill,

Happy to help get you set up with the right weight distribution hitch for your 2020 Jayco 18RBM! Unfortunately, I don’t have a database that provides specs for every camper model, but based on my research, the 2020 Jayco 18RBM has a dry weight of 4,305 lbs and a GVWR of 5,100 lbs.

I recommend the Weigh Safe True Tow Weight Distribution Hitch - 2.5" Shank - 8" Drop - 8.5K GTW, 850-lb TW, # WS34RR. This system is truly one of a kind, it eliminates all the guesswork with its built-in scale. Just hook up your camper to the ball, open the app, enter the weight from the scale, answer a few questions… and BAM it tells you exactly how to set it up for optimal performance.

Plus, with its 4-point sway control, you'll get exactly what you're looking for in a high-performance system.

I've attached a great video that my buddy Brad put together, he does an excellent job walking through all the key features.

Got a big trip coming up? If so, where are you headed?
