Weight Distribution Recommendation for 2017 Winnebago Micro Minnie 1700BH  

Question:

We are wanting to add a weight distribution system to our 2017 Winnebago Micro Minnie 1700BH. We are pulling the trailer with a 2005 Ford F-150, with a maximum two weight of 500 lbs and the trailer has a GVWR of 3800 lbs. All that being said, I have been trying to determine which system to buy, and I am not quite sure which model would be best. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

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.

The best weight distribution for 500 lb tongue weight like you mentioned having would be the Reese Straitline system part # RP66083 which has a tongue weight range of 400-800 lbs and features the only sway control that works to fight sway before it starts.

For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.
