Will Curt Weight Distribution System C17500 Work With Camper That Has 800-Lb Dry Tongue Weight
Question:
Would this product adequately do the job on my 2012 F-150 with my 32Ft bumper pull camper? The camper has TW of aprox 800 Lbs. And camper weight of aprox 8,000 Lbs. I still would be loading camper with essentials and filling fresh water tank which is forward of trailer axels.

Expert Reply:
For the correct weight distribution you need to know the gross tongue weight. That is the tongue weight of your trailer when it is fully-loaded and ready-to-tow added to the weight of any cargo placed behind the rear axle of your truck. If the 800-lbs you mentioned is the trailer tongue weight when the water tanks are full and you add additional cargo behind the rear axle of your truck then a system like the Curt TruTrack, part # C17500 will work for you.
This system has a tongue weight capacity between 800 and 1000 lbs, and the brackets on the trailer are a no-drill installation.
If you find that the gross tongue weight exceeds the capacity of this system let me know and I will make some recommendations that will work for you.
We do have another Curt system with a tongue weight range between 1000 and 1400 lbs. It is part # C17063.
