Thanks for the information Jeneen. For your 2018 Grand Design 2800BH, I recommend the Equal-i-zer item # EQ37100ET. This system works with tongue weights between 600 lbs - 1,000 lbs. That's going to give you a pretty wide range for loading up your trailer with gear and supplies. So long as you're within this range you won't have any problem being under or over it comfort and performance wise.

The Equal-i-zer item # EQ37100ET has built in sway control that will keep your trailer in line with your Ram 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 and a 2-5/16" hitch ball.

Please note you will need room on your trailer's coupler between 27" - 32" back from where the hitch ball mounts. This is for the sway control brackets.

What kind of roads do you typically travel on when you're pulling your Grand Design? Feel free to answer this and throw in any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.
