Hey John, the weight of the Andersen weight distribution # AM3350 is 53 lbs and the Blue Ox # BXW1000 weighs 95 lbs. Worth mentioning is that the Blue Ox is going to do a much better job of actually redistributing the tongue weight to the tow vehicle over the Andersen. Are you worried about exceeding towing capacities?

Thank you Jameson - While rear axle loading is always an issue, in this case it is the overall weight. I might get a little help with hitching with a lighter WD hitch (keep dreamin') or at least have an easier time myself. If the Blue Ox does a better job with weight distribution then what the value proposition for the Anderson? I used both but could not make a comparison because the two Airstreams were very different. The Anderson was on our previous 20' and the Blue Ox is on our current 27'
