Weight Distribution System Recommendation for 20 Foot V-Nose Trailer that Weighs 6,000 lbs
Question:
Hello, I am looking to get a weight distribution/ leveling hitch for my 20ft trailer plus Vnose. The trailer hauling weight is rarely over 6,000lbs. the main concern I have is that the trailer has a very short tongue due to the Vnose is there a product best suited for this?

Expert Reply:
For V-nose trailers you'd have to use frame brackets that bolt on to the side of the trailer frame like the part # RP58305. This allows brackets to install without needing clearance above the trailer frame.
Then for the system you'd want the Reese # RP66541 which has a tongue weight range of between 400 and 800 lbs.
For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.
