Recommended Weight Distribution System for 7,500 lb Airstream Trailer

Question:

Greetings experts, I need a sway control weight/weight distribution system for 7,500 lb (loaded weight) Airstream travel trailer. I like a lot of the features of the Blue Ox system but do not have any experience with a weight distribution system and would appreciate some guidance. Can you tell me if you think this is a good system? Thanks for your time

With your Airstream's 7,500 lb weight, your tongue weight will be in the neighborhood of 900 lbs, and there is a Blue Ox system that will work, the SwayPro:

- Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution # BLU66FR

The SwayPro # BLU66FR uses 4-point sway control to prevent your trailer from swaying via friction in the swing bars. It uses clamp-on brackets and has a unique feature with the necessary tilt of the system's head already being built in; other systems require you to use washers to achieve that tilt. This system even comes with everything you need for installation, including the hitch ball.
