Which Fastway Weight Distribution Should be Used with Coleman 202RD Pop Up

Question:

I have a 2014 Nissan Frontier SV. My wife bought a used Colman 202rd travel trailer with Curt 10k Wd/sway control hitch included. The Camper has a tongue weight of 477lbs without tanks and battery. This combination makes for a very rigid ride. What would you recommend for this setup?

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.

It sounds like you really have a setup that rated too high which commonly causes the ride quality to be too rough. For a tongue weight of 477 lbs the Fastway kit part # FA94-00-0600 is a really great solution as it has a range of 400-600 lbs. But if you instead need a higher capacity the part # FA94-00-0800 which has a range of 400-800 lbs.
