• Parts Needed to Use Reese Trunnion Weight Distribution on Another Trailer
  Yes, you can get the individual parts of Reese weight distribution system # RP66542 needed to use the system on a second trailer. First, you will need the frame brackets that mount on the trailer frame. For both brackets I recommend # RP6637. You can also add new chains with # 55630 but you will need to order 2 of them. This would be if you have to also use different bars. For the bars you can use the same ones that you have if the tongue weight of the new trailer is 600 to 1,200 pounds....

• Replacement Parts for Pro Series 1,200 Pound Round Bar Weight Distribution Hitch

• Can Pro Series Weight Distribution System be Upgraded to Work with 1,200 lb Tongue Weight Trailer
  I have a solution for you, but Pro Series does not offer spring bars high enough for the tongue weight of your trailer. So what we can help you do is replace the head of your system with the part # RP58167 so that you can go to a higher rated spring bar like the # RP58369 which has a tongue weight range of 1,000 to 1,500 lbs which would be perfect for your 1,200 lb tongue weigh setup. For chains and u-bolts for the springs you also would want the part # 55630 and you'd be set.

• Replacement Parts and Sway Control for Reese Weight Distribution System
  When you say your Airstream trailer has a GVWR of 8,500, I assume you mean GTW or gross trailer weight. Typically a trailer's tongue weight is about 10 to 15 percent of the GTW. Based on your trailer's GTW, your tongue weight should be around 850 lbs. If so, the trunnion bars you have (rated for a tongue weight of 600 lbs. - 1,200 lbs.) will work for you. There is no kit containing all the parts you need, however you can purchase them separately. You will need the lift brackets with handle...

  The Reese V5 is an old system that has been discontinued, but you can use the replacement lift bracket # RP21501 to replace your old brackets. If you need new chains for the lift brackets you can use either part # 55630 or part # 3216. These parts have been confirmed as a fit from Reese.

• Choosing a Weight Distribution Hitch for 24-Foot Trailer with Varying Tongue Weight
  The key to selecting a weight distribution system is to choose one based on your measured tongue weight. It is important that the system be "tuned" to your trailer tongue weight to ensure that you choose one whose spring bars are stiff enough to provide the desired redistribution of tongue weight onto the tow vehicle's front axle, but not so stiff that the result is jumpy or erratic handling from the trailer. Ideally you want to choose a system rated such that your actual loaded trailer...

• Replacement Parts for Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution System
  Based on your photo, it appears you have the dual cam system of the Reese Strait-Line. I researched your trailer to find a GVWR of 5895. Based on this, we can make some calculated assumptions on the tongue weight. The tongue weight of a trailer is typically 10 to 15%, so that would put you at 590 to 885 lbs. That will make the correct system the Strait-Line Weight Distribution System w Sway Control # RP66084. For the replacement parts you will want the following: Replacement Head...

• Determining Old Weight Distribution System Manufacturer and Replacement Part Options
  It does look like an old style Reese system. We have seen a few of these and they are similar to the newer version # RP66084. The part pictured has been replaced with the newer dual cam system yet they function in a very similar way. They no longer make that system, so I recommend upgrading to the newer system if you need replacement parts as those parts are no longer available. I've attached an article on weight distribution systems to further assist if you want information on how...

• Drop Shank Recommendation for Reese Weight Distribution When 5 inches of Drop Is Needed
  To tow your trailer level you will need to go with a drop shank that will put the ball height at the correct height. Since you need about 5 more inches of drop you would need the part # RP3344. If your trailer does not allow for the Dual Cams of your # RP66083 to attach you could replace the chains of the system with the part # 55630. The U-bolt will attach directly to the spring bar and then will get connected to the chain hangers on your frame.
