Weight Distribution Recommendation for Forest River Sandstorm 210SLC

Expert Reply:

I recommend using a weight distribution system with integrated sway control. My favorite system is the Equal-I-zer Weight Distribution System with 4-Point Sway Control #EQ37120ET. This system helps fight sway at the L-brackets that mount around the trailer frame and at the head where the arms attach. Equal-I-zer has been making their weight distribution systems for over half a century and their systems are American-made.

Unlike systems that use independent friction bars on each side of the trailer, a system like Equal-I-zer will allow you to back up your trailer while the system is still hooked up. I also personally like the Equal-I-zer systems because they have a simpler set-up and installation process than the Straight-Line # RP66074 system you referenced, and the Equal-I-zer system will not require you to drill into your trailer's frame.

When choosing the correct sway control system, you will want to consider your trailer's loaded and ready to tow tongue weight. For example, your Forest River Sandstorm 210SLC has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of nearly 10,000 pounds. If you load your trailer nearly full, it could easily have a 1,050 pound tongue weight. With this tongue weight, I recommend using the 12,000 Pound Gross Towing Weight, 1,200 Pound Tongue Weight Equal-I-zer System # EQ37120ET.

If you'd like to let me know your trailer's loaded and ready to tow tongue weight, I will be happy to make a more tailored recommendation for you. I have attached a review video of the # EQ37120ET system and a help article on common weight distribution questions.
