In regards to functionality, we've seen some reports of the Patriot being a little bit slower in the response to the braking on their RV but I've not heard any feedback to issues with the remote display functionality....

• Comparing Blue Ox SwayPro and Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System for 4,500 Lb trailer
• The Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution part # BXW0750 and Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System part # EQ37060ET are both great options. They are both made in the USA. The SwayPro does have some advantages over the Equal-i-zer in that there are built-in zerk fittings for easy maintenance, they have a very easy to use tensioning mechanism, and there are no head tilt adjustments that need to be made.

• Comparing RV Deadbolt Locks to Standard Home Deadbolt Locks
• A traditional home deadbolt lock has adjustable backset 2-3/8 inches to 2-3/4 inches which is similar to the Valterra Deadbolt Lock for RVs - Single Cylinder - Stainless Steel - 5/8" Throw # L32CS3008.

I can't confirm a home style deadbolt will fit the thinner option of RV door but the thicker RV door it would fit. You will need to measure the thickness of your door...

• The two Blue Ox base plate sets you referenced, # BX1710 and # BX1674, both feature removable arms and both fit a range of Blue Ox tow bars, but these two base plates fit different vehicles.

• Comparing Redarc Tow-Pro Elite and Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Trailer Brake Controller
• The main difference between the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite part # RED44FR and Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty part # RED24FR is that the Elite has a user controller mode geared towards off-road use. If you don't see yourself towing off-road often then the better buy is the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty. I have attached a review video on the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty below.

• Comparing K-Source # KS3891-2 vs CIPA # 7070-2 Universal Fit Towing Mirrors
• K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Qty 2 # KS3891-2 and the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Qty 2 # 7070-2 are very similar products from two different manufacturers. What you get with the K-Source mirrors that you don't get with the CIPA mirrors is the ease of mounting and removal. The CIPA products have rubber straps to give you a tight grip, but they don't give you the ratcheting or quick release. I've attached videos of each installation for you to compare.
