When it comes to installing a weight distribution hitch on your travel trailer which weights 3,877 fully loaded
you will need a weight distribution system and I recommend The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0450.
This weight distribution system has a gross towing weight up to 4,500 pounds and has a tongue weight up to 450 pounds, so your travel trailer fits in the correct weight category. It has a maximum rise of 7-1/2 inches and a maximum drop of 2-3/4 inches. Everything is included in the kit but The 2 inch Hitch Ball - 1 inch Diameter x 2-1/8 inch Long Shank - Chrome - 7,500 pounds # 63845 which is sold separately.
I attached a review video link below.
