Recommended Weight Distribution System For Springdale 179QBWE Trailer
Question:
Will the Fastway e2 weight distribution hitch Code: FA94-00-0800, fit on a Springdale 179QBWE trailer?
asked by: Paul S
Expert Reply:
Your Springdale 179QBWE trailer has a GVWR of 6030 lbs and a dry weight hitch weight of 530 lbs. You will want to check the tongue weight of the trailer fully loaded and add any cargo weight behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle to get your total tongue weight for your weight distribution system.
You want to shoot for the middle of the weight rating on the weight distribution system for best towing. The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Round - 8,000 lbs GTW, 800 lbs TW # FA94-00-0800 has a weight rating between 400 and 800 lbs, so you are in the middle without load or cargo. Depending on how you travel, this system may be a good fit, but I recommend jumping up to the # FA94-00-1000 which has a rating of 400 to 1000 lbs. This system is compatible with your trailer.
You will need a hitch ball like # 63840 for a 2-5/16 inch ball or # A-90 for a 2 inch ball.
