Recommended Weight Distribution System for 2015 Shasta Reissue Airflyte 19
Question:
I have a 2002 Cadillac Escalade and I am planning on towing a 2015 Shasta Reissue Airflyte 19 foot trailer and was recommended to get a weight distribution and anti-sway system. My Escalade has a rear leveling system factory and it seems to do pretty well with leveling the trailer. I have only driven a couple times with the trailer and do feel a little sway at highway speeds only. The dry weight of the trailer is about 2900lbs. Would you recommend this Husky unit or a different one/brand? Thank you

Expert Reply:
The weight distribution system I recommend for your trailer and Cadillac Escalade is the Strait-Line Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control - Trunnion Bar - 10,000 lbs GTW, 600 lbs TW # RP66082. The vintage style of your trailer is more prone to crosswinds and passing vehicles so this system is the best for actively working to prevent sway. You will also need the hitch ball # A-6 for a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball or # A-90 for a 2 inch hitch ball.
The Husky # HT32217 is too big a system for your trailer.

Would you recommend this hitch over the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion - 6,000 lbs GTW, 600 lbs TW? Or will the fastway e2 hitch work as well? My A-frame on my trailer is not solid tubing, it is a c-channel style. Don't know if that changes how the reese hitch will mount.
