For your Ice Castle Fish House, the weight of the unit will determine what Equal-I-zer system will work best. A weight distribution system is based on the total tongue weight of the loaded trailer along with any cargo weight behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. Because these trailers are fairly good sized, I'll give you a recommendation for a larger system. You want that total tongue weight to fall in the middle of the range of the system for best results.

For a total tongue weight of 1000 lbs, I recommend the Reese Pole-Tongue Adapter for Weight Distribution Systems - 14,000 lbs GTW, 1,400 lbs TW # RP58393 along with the Equal-I-zer # EQ37120ET. This system is rated for tongue weight between 800 and 1200 lbs. It will come with a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball, but you will need a thin walled socket like # ALL643216 to install it.

Yes, the Pole-Tongue Adapter for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems - 14,000 lbs GTW, 1,400 lbs TW # EQ95-01-5950 will work seamlessly with the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Round - 2-5/16" Hitch Ball - 10K GTW # FA94-00-1061. You will still need thin walled socket # ALL643216 or # EQ70-00-4800. The Fastway system will only have 2-point sway control, versus the 4-point sway control of the Equal-I-zer system due to a different design in the weight distribution head, but the systems are made by the same company and their parts you asked about will work together.

That is quite the pole tongue! So the the Pole Tongue Adapter part #EQ95-01-5950 can work on your trailer as long as there's clearance for it on your frame. This would need to install between 27 and 32 inches back from the hitch ball center.
