Expert Reply:
Hey Mike. It looks like you went with the Weigh Safe True Tow Weight Distribution Hitch item # WS59MR. This system works with trailers that have tongue weights up to 1,250 lbs. You really want to select a weight distribution hitch off of your trailer's tongue weight, which would be 10%-15% of it's total loaded weight. So long as you're at or under 1,250 lbs this system will work great for you.
The Weigh Safe item # WS59MR comes with a shank that fits a 2-1/2" hitch receiver. It has a built-in tongue weight scale that's going to help you load your trailer and truck bed to make sure you're under 1,250 lbs. The built in hitch lock will keep the system from walking away.
What year, make, and model is your 39' long travel trailer?
