Question:
I have a Reese RP66073 weight distribution system. It has the 66021 800lb trunnion bars and 26002 dual cams sway control. I now have a different camper with 1100lb tongue weight. Is it possible to simply replace the 800lb trunnions bars with the 1200lb RP66009 trunnions bars and keep the rest of my weight distribution system? Thanks,

Expert Reply:
The same head is used on systems rated up to 1,200 pounds tongue weight and 12,000 pounds gross trailer weight.
Since you changed campers and now have the 1,100 lbs tongue weight, I recommend you simply get the higher trunnion bar like part # RP66009. The trunnion bar is rated for tongue weights ranging from 600 to 1,200 pounds.
