Hello Bill, thanks for reaching out. The Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution # RE94FR weighs 98 lbs all together. Most WD hitches weigh between 80-100 lbs.

This particular system, the Reese # RE94FR should be used on trailers with a tongue weight between 400-800 lbs. Ideally your trailers tongue weight would fall right in the middle of that range like 600 lbs.

What kind of trailer do you have? Do you know the GVWR or loaded tongue weight?

I do not have the camper yet...I am doing the research to make sure the truck can handle it and everything adds up including the WDH. I am looking at a Flagstaff MICRO LITE 21FBRS. They only appear to list the UVW tongue weight at 557 which is pretty much irrelevant. It appears that the GVWR is 5837 which buys the tongue weight at about 724lbs...I use 12.4% to calculated tongue weight.

@BillL Ok nice sounds like you are on top of it! You are right the unloaded tongue weight doesn't really matter since that doesn't factor in batteries and propane and stuff. 724 lbs seems like a fairly accurate figure since tongue weight should be between 10% 15% of the total weight. Loading up the trailer and taking it to a weigh station, or using a tongue weight scale like part # BTBRV44FR are the best ways to accurately determine your tongue weight. Once you know that, you can select a WD hitch. Based on what you are saying, the # RE94FR might be slightly under-rated but it will be close. You may need to bump it up to the # RE44FR which is for 600 lb to 1,150 lb tongue weight. In fact, I think we can safely say at this point the # RE44FR would be a good call.

@JesseM OK..thanks much for the information . Your recommendation makes sense. But I think weissed the original question. What would the RE44DR weigh? Might seem like a minor detail but it all adds up. I am looking at a Ford F150 Lariat and I am trying to make sure I have a decent buffer in the payload number. THANKS!

Hey Craig, the biggest thing that causes trailer sway is not enough tongue weight relative to the total trailer weight. You need to have the tongue weight between 10 and 15 percent of the total trailer weight. Most likely your tongue weight is on the…

Yeah you're looking at that spec wrong Eduardo. The Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control item #RE34FR won't work with a trailer's frame that is taller than 7". It's not 7" off the ground it's the…

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…

Answer 4

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…

Kevin, I think you are absolutely making the right call replacing those tires. Even though they still look great on the outside, eight year old trailer tires are getting into the age range where internal deterioration becomes a bigger concern than…

Congrats on the new motorhome Edward! SnapPad doesn't have the 2026 Allego Red 38 KA in their system so I don't know what size your jack feet are. However, we have a few options that will work with the HWH leveling systems. What you'll…

Hi Charles! I am also having trouble finding the Rainier Apex ST235/75R15 tire in a Load Range D. I found the Load Range C, but the higher rated D is proving to be quite elusive. That said, I can't honestly say I have any personal experience with…
