Strait-Line Weight Distribution w Sway Control RP66075 Shank Recommendation
Question:
My trailer is a 2017 Grand Design Reflection TT 315 RLTS-tongue wt-1065lbs. Tow vehicle is a GMC Denali 3500HD, 2 1/2 hitch receiver. I know the cargo weight in the tow vehicle from the rear axle to the tailgate is added to tongue wt. I carry extra 5 fuel cans + 50lbs as cargo weight = 250lbs+ 1065lbs =1315lbs. That middle of the # RP66075s range. Will the amount of weight added in the forward master bedroom add to the tongue wt? Also wondering which shank will fit? Thanks.

Helpful Expert Reply:
Basically any weight you add to front of a trailer in front of the axles is going to add to the tongue weight. So yes, the weight you added in the master bedroom of your trailer will need to be considered as tongue weight.
The tongue weight of the # RP66075 is 1,000-1,700 lbs so if your setup has a tongue weight that falls in that you still would be good.
For a shank that is designed to fit a 2-1/2 inch hitch like what you have the part # RP54977 would be a great option.
For a hitch ball you would want the part # 63840 which has a 20k capacity.
