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 weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use.
Most people don't give us their tongue weight so I thank you for including that information. Since your tongue weight is 706 lbs I would recommend the # RP66084 as it has a tongue weight range of 600-1,200 lbs and features the only sway control on the market that works to prevent sway before it starts.
