How To Use Weight Distribution System On Trailer With No Room On Tongue/Frame
Question:
I have a 2006 Rockwood Rhino pop up trailer that has battery and propane plates that obstruct the area until about 36 inches. I was hoping to utilize the Husky 32215 WD hitch with sway control. That only allows me to reach 30.5 inches, what options do I have? Thanks for your help!

Expert Reply:
The best option to install a weight distribution system on a trailer with the tongue obstructed would be to use a chain style system with chain hanger brackets that bolt to the frame, the Strait-Line Weight Distribution System part # RP66082 with Chain Hangers for Reese Weight Distribution Systems part # RP58305 is what I recommend.
