Recommended Weight Distribution System for a 7,500 lbs Camper
Question:
I have a camper 24 ft long 631 lb Tongue weight 4718 Dry weight 7511 max weight I need a hitch and I was wanting to know if either the Curt C17499 or the Curt C17500 would work for me. I pull with a 2019 Ram 1500

The best weight distribution system for your camper is going to be the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution item # C17500 because it has a higher tongue weight capacity. Tongue weight is typically 10% -15% of your trailers total weight. This system has a tongue weight range of 800 lbs - 1,000 lbs. This system has enough capacity to handle your trailer fully loaded and not be over capacity and uncomfortable if you are not.
I have linked a review video below.
I also recommend the Classic Accessories Tow Bar and Weight Distribution Tote item # CA80113. This heavy duty bag is perfect for storing your weight distributing hitch. It is 36" x 11" Wide x 8" Tall and has padding that prevents damage to your hitch and prevents dings to your vehicle's cargo area from shifting gear.
