Helpful Expert Reply:

If you figure your dry weight on your 30 ft Grand Design has a 581 lb tongue weight. It is close to the lowest weight rating of the current bar you have. You only have a 219 lb gap before you are at the max for that bar. If your family is anything like mine bringing 200 lbs of stuff on a camping trip in nothing. I suggest getting the 800-1200 lb bars to be safe. If you are questioning it now you will always think about it if you don't. And most storage basements on travel trailers are located at the front which is where any extra cargo will be hauled. I recommend the Replacement Spring Bar for Husky Center Line Weight Distribution System - Qty 1 Item # HT32329. Keep in mind you never want to exceed your vehicle weight carrying capacity.
