Hey John, thanks for the information. For your 3,000 lbs snow mobile trailer, I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control item # EQ90-00-0400. It works with trailer's tongue weights up to 400 lbs.
The Equal-i-zer item # EQ90-00-0400 has built in sway control that will keep your trailer in line with your Canyon when you're going down the highway and make a sudden lane change or get passed by a semi. It's really helpful when you get sideswiped by a gust of wind too.
This system includes a 2" shank but does not include a hitch ball. Depending on your trailer's coupler size you will either need a 2" Hitch Ball item # 63845 or a 2-5/16" hitch ball item # C40007.
Please note you will need room on your trailer's coupler between 29" - 32" back from where the hitch ball mounts. This is for the sway control brackets.
What kind of motorcycle do you have?
