Recommended Weight Distribution/Sway Control System for Travel Trailer With 720 lb Tongue Weight
Question:
Looking for advise on WD hitch. TT is 5250lbs/720 TW with GVW 7000lbs. Looking at Husky Centerline TS, and wondering about proper bar weight. 600 - 800 or 800 - 1100.

We have phased out the Husky Centerline weight distribution systems and no longer offer them, but we do have a great option for the trailer you describe.
You'll want to choose a weight distribution system based on the fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of your travel trailer. The weight of anything carried in the cargo area or truck bed behind the rear axle is included in that tongue weight figure. I'll link to an article that explains a few ways of figuring this out.
The Curt TruTrack is a similar system available at a fairly similar price point, so that's what I'd recommend going with.
If the 720 lb figure you mention is the fully loaded tongue weight, and that weight won't increase then the
# C17499 system which is designed for trailers with tongue weights ranging from 500-800 lb is what I'd go with. The trailer ball is sold separately with this system. For a 2 inch ball, use # A-90 or # 19286 for a 2-5/16 inch ball. If the ready to tow tongue weight is between 800-1000 lbs, use part # C17500.
If you click the provided link, you can see a typical installation video where my buddy Randy will show how to install and set the system up.
