Question

Question:

I have an e2 hitch rated for 600 lb tongue weight for a Starcraft 17RB Comet trailer. I am getting a larger RV a Grand Design 23BHE. Can I buy new bars to up my capacity to 800 lb or even 1000 lb capacity without swapping out any other components in the e2 system

Yes, you can upgrade your Fastway e2 Weight Distribution with 600 lb spring bars to either 800 lb bars or 1,000 lb bars. The right replacement will depend on if you have the Round Bar Fastway e2 # FA94-00-0600 or Trunnion Bar Fastway e2 # FA92-00-0600.

The round bar replacements come in a quantity of one, so you would need to order two of the bars, while the trunnion bars come in a pair. For your larger Grand Design 23BHE with a GVWR of nearly 7,000 lbs I recommend the 1,000 lb bars.

- Trunnion Bars: Replacement Trunnion Spring Bars for Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Systems - 1,000 lbs TW # FA92-01-1099

800 lbs
- Round Bar: Replacement Round Spring Bar for Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Systems - 800 lbs TW # FA94-02-0899

- Trunnion Bars: Replacement Trunnion Spring Bars for Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Systems - 800 lbs TW # FA92-01-0899

As long as your trailer does not exceed 800 pounds, I recommend the 800-pound bars over the 1,000 pound bars. This is because you are right on the money when you conclude that the 1,000 pound trunnions with your trailer will be a stiff ride. Since…
