Question:
Both Curt C69JR and the Blue Ox BLU65FR Weight Distribution Systems are priced the same. No major difference ? Towing a Forest River Wolf Pup 17JG. Any problems with backing up ??

Generally speaking, it is not advisable to reverse a trailer when using a weight distribution system. The system won't blow up but if you reverse at too sharp an angle then you can damage the head so you have to do so in a pretty straight line or not at all. If you want to reverse at an angle you'll need to disengage the spring bars which is pretty simple. That said, the Curt TruTrack 2P Weight Distribution Systems like part # C69JR and Blue Ox 2-Point Weight Distribution Systems like part # BLU82XR are both great, similar options. The Blue Ox 2-Point Weight Distribution System is rated more appropriately for the Forest River Wolf Pup 17JG so that is what I recommend.
