Recommended Weight Distribution System For Travel Trailer With Dry Weight of 6300 lbs

Question:

Would this be fine for a travel trailer with tongue weight of 770lbs and UVW of 6300 lbs? How much over the tongue and UVW can you exceed with the WD hitch before its too much? Thanks

The Husky Center Line Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - Trunnion - 12,000 lbs GTW, 1,200 lbs TW # HT32218 will fit your application when loaded. This system has a total tongue weight range between 800 and 1200 lbs, which is the loaded tongue weight of the trailer along with any cargo weight behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. This will be a great system for you when your trailer is fully loaded and ready to camp.

You don't want to exceed the unloaded weight by much with a weight distribution system because it can cause too much of a rigid ride and cause problems. For an ideal system for both loaded and unloaded weight, I suggest the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control - 10,000 lbs GTW, 1,000 lbs TW # EQ37100ET, which has a range from 600-100 lbs.
