Can Weight Distribution Systems be Used on V-Nose Trailers
Question:
I have a 24foot V nose trailer. On the tongue to the front part of the trailer is only 25. Should I get the brackets that bolt on for the chains item RP58305

Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes, for V-nose trailers like yours the only real solution that allows a weight distribution system to install is a set of bolt on brackets like the part # RP58305.
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.
Once you know your tongue weight you will want to check out the link I attached that has all of the weight distribution systems we carry. You will be able to select your tongue weight from the filters to see what would be rated for your setup.
