So far the product has worked well based on the trailer I’m using it on which is an aluminum trailer with single pole tongue

I had previously purchased a different pole tongue adapter that did not work. This one has worked perfectly with my weight distribution hitch. It is well built and heavy and my boat tows better than ever. I could not be happier.

So far so good. Had a shop install this add-on bracket for my boat trailer and it allowed me to install the appropriate wd hitch for my surge brake setup and pole tongue.

I really appreciate the follow up. The hitch setup has been working out really well. I am glad I went with the product and your company. Would not hesitate to do it again.

Became an excellent solution for two trailers that I had that were configured with a pole tongue style frame. Pleased with how this system has worked with my trailers and weight distribution hitch thus far. Only thing I noticed was the spacing of the holes where the bracket clamps to the tongue. My tongue dimensions did not give me a tight fit using the pre drilled holes in the brackets but a rather sizable gap between the bolts and the tongue. This was easily remedied by adding a spacer to make up the difference.

Stacey was very helpful in assisting me with piecing together weight distribution system. The pole tongue adapter by Reese is well built and will certainly provide the requirement needed to distribute weight. Buy with confidence!

Works like a charm. I have a heavy boat / trailer with a straight (not a “v”) tongue and needed a way to hook up a distor hitch. This
by: Robert07/23/2021
This pole tongue adapter arrived with two 6-inch connecting bolts that secure the four mounts under the trailer tongue. Sadly, only the outside 1.5 inches of the hex bolts were threaded, which would be great if my trailer tongue was 4 inches wide. Mine is 3 inches wide (a standard width for heavy boat trailers), so I ran out of thread before the part was secured. So I could either get a whole bunch of flat washers (Grade 5), or try to get 5 inch hex bolts. I called Reese, they are shipping me 6-inch fully threaded bolts. Not sure if that is the strongest set-up; I ended up ordering 5 inch partially threaded bolts from Grainger. Grade 5 hex bolts are NOT at [average retail stores]. So a PIT[Y] but not a deal killer.

- Recommended Weight Distribution And Adapter For 5500 Pound Trailer With Pole TongueThe weight distribution system I recommend for your tandem trailer is the Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System w Sway Control, part # RP66559. This system works with trailers that have 500 to 1000 lbs tongue weight. This system also features sway control which helps when dealing with high winds and large trucks passing by on the highway. A weight distributing shank is included, but you'll also need the properly sized trailer ball with a 1-1/4 inch diameter shank like # 63845 for...
view full answer... - Weight Distribution with Sway Control, For a Boat Trailer with Surge Brakes and a Pole TongueFor a boat trailer you would need to use a pole tongue adapter like # RP58393 and a Reese Steadi-Flex weight distribution system. Based on a potential gross trailer weight of 6,000 pounds, your trailer tongue weight is probably around 600 pounds if not less since boat trailers often have lower tongue weights than other trailers. But you also have to add the weight of any cargo loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle to the trailer tongue weight when choosing weight distribution. I...
view full answer... - How Does Weight Distribution System Chain Hanger Attach to Reese Pole Tongue AdapterIt is odd that it's left out but yes you do need to drill through the outside plates of the Reese pole tongue adapter part # RP58393 to attach the brackets of the weight distribution system that you have. For the other brands like Equal-i-zer their pole tongue adapter # EQ95-01-5950 comes with the holes drilled and hardware for them. This is because they offer only one style of spring bar frame bracket and Reese has quite a few so they had to make theirs more universal. I would also make...

- Recommended Weight Distribution System For 25 Foot EZLoader Pontoon Tritoon TrailerFor your EZLoader Pontoon Tritoon Trailer, I recommend the Reese Pole-Tongue Adapter for Weight Distribution Systems - 14,000 lbs GTW, 1,400 lbs TW, # RP58393. This will allow you to use a weight distribution system that includes sway control. The biggest focus of weight distribution systems is total tongue weight, which is the loaded tongue weight of the trailer along with any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. The tongue weight of a trailer is normally 10-15% of the total...
view full answer... - Weight Distribution System for a Boat Trailer with Surge BrakesThere is a way to use weight distribution on a boat trailer with surge brakes. First, you will need to contact the trailer manufacturer to determine if the trailer frame can be used with weight distribution. Not all boat trailer frames, especially aluminum frames, can be used with weight distribution. The trailer tongue weight is probably in the neighborhood of 700 pounds (10 percent of the gross trailer weight) but you have to add the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of...

- Pole Tongue Adapter For Chain Style Hangers Weight Distribution Hitch SystemSince you are using a weight distribution system like the Curt MV Weight Distribution System # C17052 you will need a Reese Pole-Tongue Adapter # RP58393 that is designed for use with the chain style hangers. This has the structure to support the hanger. The Pole-Tongue Adapter for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems # EQ95-01-5950 is only compatible with Equal-i-zer and Fastway systems as they have the bolts for the sway bar brackets.

- Recommended Equal-I-zer Weight Distribution Hitch for Ice Castle Fish House TrailerFor your Ice Castle Fish House, the weight of the unit will determine what Equal-I-zer system will work best. A weight distribution system is based on the total tongue weight of the loaded trailer along with any cargo weight behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. Because these trailers are fairly good sized, I'll give you a recommendation for a larger system. You want that total tongue weight to fall in the middle of the range of the system for best results. For a total tongue weight...

The Reese Pole-Tongue Adapter for Weight Distribution Systems # RP58393 is the perfect solution for adding weight distribution to a pole-tongue trailer like yours. It won't matter if you mount it on top or below the trailer tongue, it can handle your 7,800 lb trailer. The Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # RP66559 is also compatible with this adapter. This weight distribution system is a great choice and...

If you want to try and use a weight distribution system, the only option will be to use a system along with a Pole-Tongue Adapter like the Reese # RP58393, because there are no weight distribution systems available with arms that will be long enough to reach your trailer frame. The adapter platform will provide mounting space on your trailer tongue for the lift brackets of a weight...
view full answer... - Are There Any Weight Distribution Hitch Systems For Straight Tongue TrailersTo attach a weight distribution hitch to your straight tongue frame you'll first need a pole tongue adapter to get mounting points for the WDH it connect to. Each adapter is brand specific so you'll want to choose the corresponding brand to the hitch you're wanting to use. We currently offer adapters for Blue Ox # BXW4023, Reese # RP58393, and Equal-i-zer # EQ95-01-5950. Each of these will fit different a different range of tongue widths and heights so you'll want to also measure the...
view full answer... - Can Weight Distribution be Used on a 32 foot Boats TrailerBoat trailers have pole tongues which makes installing a weight distribution system interesting but still very possible. What you need to start with is a pole tongue adapter like the part # RP58393. Which based on the length of your boat the WD system that would make the most since is the Steadi-Flex part # RP66560 which has a 600 to 1,200 lb tongue weight range plus a friction sway control setup.

If you already have a weight distribution system, all you will need is the Reese Pole-Tongue Adapter for Weight Distribution Systems - 14,000 lbs GTW, 1,400 lbs TW # RP58393. If you need a weight distribution system, I recommend using the Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # RP66561, that will put your right in the tongue weight range you need to be.

view full answer... - Can Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System Be Used on a Boat TrailerIt sure will, but in order to use a Reese Steadi-Flex weight distribution system like the # RP66561 you'd looked at on a boat trailer, you'd need to use a Reese pole tongue adapter, part # RP58393. However, this does not apply on trailers with hinged, swing away trailer tongues. Using weight distribution isn't recommended on trailers such as that. I've linked to a product description video that explains how the pole tongue adapter works.
view full answer... - Installing a Weight Distribution Hitch to an Enclosed Frame TrailerIf you are talking about a pole tongue trailer then there are adapters available, item # RP3280 and item # RP58393, that you can use to connect to the frame and then attach the brackets. The RP3280 will not work with the Reese SC Weight Distribution Systems, while the RP58393 will work with all Reese systems, with the exception of those equipped with the Dual-Cam Sway Control. If you have an A-Frame trailer that is enclosed in the center then you can use the bolt on chain hanger kit, item...

When choosing a weight distribution system you will need to go by the tongue weight of the trailer when loaded and ready to tow and then add the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. But, do not exceed the tongue weight rating when used with weight distribution for the hitch. A system rated for 200 to 600...
view full answer... - Pole Tongue Adapters Available for Weight Distribution SystemsIf you didn't want to go with an Equal-i-zer weight distribution system you wouldn't want to use their pole tongue adapter but we do have the Reese option part # RP58393 which allows you to use a Reese system and we also have a Blue Ox adapter part # BXW4023 as well. Basically you need to match the brand of pole tongue adapter to the brand of the weight distribution you go with. If you can get me the tongue weight of your trailer I can then help pick you out a system that would work well...
view full answer... - Can A Weight Distribution System be Used on a Boat Trailer with a Pole TongueWe have a pole tongue adapter that allows weight distribution systems to be installed on the style of frames that boat trailer have. For a Reese weight distribution system you would want the part # RP58393. The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue...
view full answer... - What Does a Pole Tongue Adapter Do and are Additional Parts Needed to Install OneThe pole tongue adapter # RP58393 is just an adapter that will allow you to use a Reese SC weight distribution system with a trailer that has a pole tongue. The system that you have or choose has built-in sway control and the brackets used to mount to the adapter. Basically what the adapter is doing is providing an artificial A-frame so the weight distribution system can be installed. The first thing you are going to want to do is contact the trailer manufacturer to determine if the trailer...
view full answer... - Pole Tongue Adapter for Boat Trailer so that Weight Distribution Can Be UsedThe adapter that you would need would be the pole tongue adapter part # RP58393 to be able to use a weight distribution system with your setup. Since your vehicle requires the use of a WD system to tow a trailer as heavy as yours the only option I can make for you would be to relocate the items on your trailer frame that are currently in the way as they do not make longer spring bar weight distribution systems. They are all right at 30 inches in length.
view full answer... - Which WD System Will Work With Reese Pole-Tongue Adapter # RP58393 Towing Trailer With Surge BrakesI recommend to use the Reese Weight Distribution System w Sway Control part # RP66558. This system will work with the Reese Pole-Tongue Adapter, part # RP58393, on your 2003 Honda Odyssey. It has a tongue weight capacity range of 200 to 600 lbs. and a gross towing weight capacity of 6,000 lbs. I am including a link to the installation instructions on the Reese weight distribution system. The system does not include a hitch ball. Use # 63845 for a 2 inch ball or # 63847 for a 2-5/16 inch ball.

If the fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of your trailer (plus the weight of anything stowed in the truck bed behind the rear axle) falls within that range, the # RP66560 would work well for you. You'll also need a pole tongue adapter, part # RP58393. As far as the towing capacity of the truck goes, you'd need to subtract the GVW...
view full answer... - Weight Distribution Hitch Towing A 1978 Seacamper HouseboatA weight distribution system would definitely help reduce the sway you're describing. When you tow a trailer with a standard, rear-mounted hitch, your trailer's tongue weight is transferred to the rear axle of your tow vehicle. This can weigh down your vehicle's back end and cause the front end to point upward, especially on vehicles that have suspension designed for everyday comfort. If this happens, your vehicle's rear axle will bear the weight of not only the trailer, but much of your...
