Weight Distribution System Recommendation for a Fleetwood Evolution E1 Pop-up Camper Trailer
Question:
I am hauling an ATV transverse on my Nissan Titan half the weight is aft of the rear axle becuause i cant haul it and my Fleetwood Evolution E1 if the ATV sits in the bed of the truck. Combining half the weight of the ATV and the normal heavy tongue weight of Evolution, The Evolution has the heavy frame where the WDH attachment woult mount to the frame. I know there are extended attachments to cure this issue, but I cant find them in your system. Can you recommend which parts I should get for this?

The unique frame on the Fleetwood Evolution E1 camper trailer is going to require a special set up for weight distribution. You will need to do is use a system that hangs the spring bars from chains and then use special brackets that attach to the side of the frame rather than clamp onto the top.
For a system rated for 400 to 800 pounds tongue weight, you could use # RP66541, and then use chain hangers, # RP58305. The chain hangers will fit on frames no wider than 2-1/4 inches unless longer bolts than those provided are used. You would also need a properly sized ball, # 19286 for a 2-5/16 inch diameter or # A-90 for a 2 inch.
When calculating tongue weight you will need to go by the tongue weight of the trailer loaded and ready to tow and then add to that the weight of anything behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I have included a link to our weight distribution FAQ article for you.
