Best Weight Distribution System Recommendation for a Trailer with 750 lbs Tongue Weight
Question:
I have a 31foot camper that weights 6800 pounds, tongue weight is 750 pounds, I currently have the weight distribution and sway controller from curt that came with teh camper. After using it for a few months I am not happy with the sway control. I have driving many different trailers and I get the most sway with this system. What system would you recommend for me, I am looking for both WD and SC? My tow vehicle is a 2015 Ford F-150 with the ecoboost motor and HD tow package.

The best weight distribution and sway control on the market in my opinion is the Reese Strait Line system as it works to prevent sway before it starts. If your loaded tongue weight is 750 lbs the part # RP66083 would work well but would be near the top of it's 800 lb tongue weight limit.
The part # RP66084 has a 600 to 1,200 lb tongue weight rating and would be your best option as you have to consider the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle as tongue weight as well.
For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.
