The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution (WD) System # EQ37100ET is a great option to use. This features 4-point sway control and has received great reviews from our customers!

When choosing a WD system you need one with a Tongue Weight (TW) range that the Total Tongue Weight (TTW) of your towing setup falls in the middle of. To find the TTW of your towing setup you will need to add the TW of your fully loaded and ready-to-go trailer along with the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. Keep in mind that a properly loaded trailer will have a TW that is 10-15% of the loaded weight of your trailer.

I was able to find that the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) of your 2018 Rockwood Mini Lite 2104S is 6,028 lbs. If you plan on loading up your trailer all of the way then your TW range will be from about 600 lbs - 900 lbs. Since the Equal-i-zer that you asked about has a TW range from 600 lbs - 1,000 lbs it is pretty ideal for your use, but you need to confirm your TTW to ensure that it is correct.

This WD system comes with everything that you need, but a 1-7/8" thin-walled socket like part # EQ70-00-4800 is recommended to make installing the hitch ball much easier.
