• Upgrading 1,000 Pound Equal-i-zer WD System to 1,200 Pound Rating
  The spring bars aren't interchangeable on the higher-rated Equal-i-zer WD systems, but you'll still be able to use components from your existing setup when making this upgrade. To increase your system to the 1,200/12,000 pound capacity, you will just need the 1,200 pound Spring Bars # EQ90-01-1299 and a new WD head, part # EQ90-02-1200. The remaining hardware from your current system (L-brackets on the frame, adjustable shank, etc) can all still be used.

• Recommendation for Pulling Heavier Trailer with Under-Rated Weight Distribution System
  It sounds like you have the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37060ET, which has a tongue weight capacity of 200 to 600 pounds. This will be quite a bit under-rated for your new trailer that has a tongue weight of around 1,000 pounds. I am not sure if this tongue weight is with the trailer fully loaded or empty. If this reading is with the trailer empty, this number will increase even further once the trailer is loaded and ready for a trip. I definitely recommend upgrading your...

• Parts to Convert Fastway e2 to Equal-i-zer Trunnion Bar Weight Distribution
  It sounds like you have the Fastway e2 round bar 10K weight distribution system # FA94-00-1061. You can keep and re-use several parts of your Fastway system, the shank, the hitch ball and the lift brackets on the trailer.

• Weight Distribution Hitch for 2018 Coleman 263 BH Tandem Axle Travel Trailer GVWR 7600-lbs
  The specs I found for the 2018 Dutchmen Coleman Lantern 263BH tandem axle travel trailer indicate a dry weight of 5871-lbs and a payload capacity of 1729-lbs. Added together these become the GVWR for the trailer, the gross vehicle weight rating, the most it can weigh when fully loaded and ready for the road. In this case that GVWR is 7600-lbs. The rule of thumb is that a trailer must have tongue weight (TW) of 10 to 15-percent of the trailer's gross weight. I would suggest to try to stay...

• Can Fastway e2 Sway-Control Brackets Be Used with Equal-i-zer Spring Bars
  I reached out to my contact at Equal-i-zer (and Fastway) and he said you can continue using the existing Fastway e2 lift brackets on your trailer with the new Equal-i-zer 1,200 pound Spring Bars # EQ90-01-1299 and Head # EQ90-02-1200. This is not an issue at all.

There's no need to swap your current brackets with...

• Where on Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System is Info to Determine Capacity
  The main differences between the Equal-i-zer WD systems is the spring bars used. If you can find the label on the spring bars you should find a part number or a tongue weight rating listed. For example if you find 90-01-1299 the bars are our part number # EQ90-01-1299 which have a tongue weight capacity of 1200 lbs. Or you could contact the guy you bought the trailer from to see if he remembers.

  The 2015 Forest River Vibe Extreme Lite 312BHS travel trailer has a dry weight spec of 7805-lbs according to the NADA Guide.

The ideal is that your trailer's actual total loaded TW will fall in the middle of the system's range. This total TW includes the measured TW of the trailer...
