How to Pick Out Weight Distribution System for 2011 Springdale Travel Trailer
Question:
I have an Eaz Lift weight distribution system. The tongue weight on the trailer hitch say 2,100 lbs. I need to replace my system as I had a part break backing the trailer with the sway control still hooked up. I am looking at the Pro Series Hitch Kit. Should I replace it with the 12,000 lb rating? or 10,000 lb rating? Thanks. I have a 2011 Springdale Travel Trailer 29 foot

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.
