For your 2019 Forest River Rockwood Mini Lite the information on models and weights doesn't line up with the manufacturer information.
If you have the 2104S then the manufacturer states a dry hitch weight of 560 lbs and dry weight of 4197 lbs or if you have the 2304KS then the dry hitch weight is 629 lbs and the dry weight is 3963 lbs. There simply isn't a 2404s and nothing that lines up with the weights given.
With either of these options, the Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution System w Sway Control - Trunnion Bar # RP66084 is my recommendation. It is rated for total tongue weights including the loaded trailer tongue and any cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle of between 600 lbs - 1,200 lbs. This system will prevent sway with the dual cam system better than any other system in my opinion. You will also need a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball like # 19286.
If you can confirm the information you gave, then the better option would be # RP66083 with the same hitch ball. This model has the total tongue weight range between 400 and 800 lbs. I've attached a weight distribution article to help further.
