Question:
Im looking for a weight distribution and sway control system compatible with the V-Nose Forest River 29CKV. GVWR is 11,400 lbs. Tongue weight is 1,300 lbs. Towing with a Dodge Ram 2500 Crew Cab 4WD short bed.

I did some research on the Forest River 29CKV and it looks like the frame beneath the V-nose is still a standard 50 degree A-frame. If this is the case then you can use a weight distribution system. What you will need to do is use system like # RP66131 rated for 800 to 1,500 pounds tongue weight, and use alternate mounting brackets, # RP58305 (rated for 1400 pounds).
The alternate brackets will bolt to the sides of the frame. You will also need to add a shank like # RP54970. You will also need a properly sized ball, # 63840.
To add sway control you will need to use # 83660.
