Recommended Weight Distribution System for V-Nose Trailer
Question:
Weight distribution. 2010 e350 Super Duty Knapheide KUV body. Thanks for your reponse about the stabilizer recommendation. When I wrote that request I used the word equalizer. What I meant to say is Weight Distribution to go with the Sway Control. Again, the trailer is 20 foot with 6 foot V nose enclosed, tandem 7k axles.

The issue with adding a weight distribution system to your trailer is that there isn't a lot of room for installation due to the V-nose. But I may have a solution for you.
To choose the properly rated system you need to find your total tongue weight. That is the tongue weight of the loaded and ready to tow trailer added to the weight stored behind your van's rear axle. Once you have that figure you'll also need to measure your trailer's tongue to find out how much space you have for a system to be installed.
With a trailer that heavy it's likely you'll need something rated for around 1,500 pounds. If this is the case the Curt # C17422 will work for you if the trailer has enough room. The spring bars are 28-3/8 inches long.
