Adjustable Ball Mount Recommendation for 2021 Tiffin Phaeton
Updated 11/11/2026 | Published 11/09/2026
Question:
Hello, I have a 21 Tiffin Phaeton towing a 16 open trailer and looking for some help picking out a good hitch. I was looking at the Weigh Safe options due to the scale or possibly the PHANTOM-XT 10K which seems like it would make for a smooth ride. Im not sure if that Phantom is too much hitch for my application or not. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hey Matt, I recommend the Weigh Safe adjustable ball mount part # WS96ZR for your 2021 Tiffin towing an open trailer. Having flexibility to have various ball heights and a tongue weight scale to know what your tongue weight is will be very beneficial whereas I don't think you'd notice much cushioning due to length of the Tiffin.

I use the hitch with many trailers and exchanging the ball is quite easy. My primary use is a 6x12 dump trailer and I was using a separate scale to adjust tongue weight. With the Weigh Safe I can set the height easily for each trailer and set my tongue weight with the trailer attached, much more accurate. This is especially helpful when carrying gravel, dirt, or manure and ensuring the trailer is optimally loaded. Simple to use, accurate, and it looks good too.
