Weight Distribution System for Towing a Bigger Trailer
Question:
I am in the process of replacing my 27 travel trailer 596 hitch weight, 4390 axle weight, 4986 dry weight, 6596 GVWR with a 33 travel trailer, 770 hitch weight, 4954 axle weight, 5724 dry weight, 7676 GVWR. I currently have the Pro Series SC weight distribution system. Should I consider a Strait-Line Weight distribution system? Do you take trades? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
If your old system does not have enough weight capacity to handle the new trailer you are planning to purchase, or if you are having problems with your old system when towing then I would consider a new system. If you are within the weight limit of your Pro Series System and it is functioning properly then you should be able to use it on the new trailer.
The Strait-Line weight distribution system you have selected is the newest out there and works very well. It is easier to hook up and is excellent at controlling sway while in a straight line or in curves using an active system to stop sway before it starts. When in a turn the bar will come out of the cam detent and apply pressure to that side of the trailer helping it lean with the tow vehicle. I am sorry but we do not accept trades. If you need further assistance let me know.
