Recommended Weight Distribution For 33 Camper Trailer That Weighs 9000lbs W/ 900lb Tongue Weight
Question:
I have a 33ft camper that weighs 9000lb with a tongue weight of 900lb. Would the Fastway E2 be sufficient or is the camper to long and I need the Equalizer of the same weight rating?

It really comes down to how much sway you are expecting when towing your 33' Camper that weighs 9000lbs with 900lbs tongue weight.
If you have minimal sway without a weight distribution the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA92-00-1200 you were looking at that works with total tongue weights ranging from 800-1200lbs would be a great option as a fantastic weight distribution system for the price.
With that said the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control - 12,000 lbs GTW, 1,200 lbs TW # EQ37120ET has the same 800-1200lb total tongue weight range, but the 4-point sway control is superior to the 2-point sway control found on the Fastway e2.
Based on the your tow vehicle and the weight of your trailer as long as you are not currently experiencing excessive sway control the Fastway # FA92-00-1200 is fine as a precaution. If you are already experiencing sway going with the Equal-i-zer # EQ37120ET would be the best option for you.
I included videos for both of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
