Correct Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System for 30' Airstream Flying Cloud
Question:
Im looking at a Reese Steadi-Flex hitch for my 3500HD Silverado and a 30 Airstream Flying Cloud. The trailer has an 8800# GVW and a listed 900# tongue weight. Which hitch product do you recommend? Also how does Reese compare to Blue Ox for the same application? Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:
The Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System is an excellent option for a 30' Airstream Flying Cloud. The correct model will be part # RP66560. In regards to the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution part # BXW1000 which would be correct, I recommend the Steadi-Flex since you have more shank adjustments and you don't have to worry about messing with the chains which can be a bit of a hassle when compared to the other brackets.
