Question:

Would this be the best affordable option for a camper that’s 3,200 lbs with a tongue weight of 430 lbs.

Yes; the Fastway # FA94-00-0600 is a great choice for an economical weight distribution hitch for trailers with tongue weights between 300-lbs and 600-lbs. You ideally want your tongue weight to fall towards the middle of the prescribed weight range for your weight distribution system so this is a great fit. I really like that this system has sway control, which is usually one of the first things that get left off weight distributions in this price range. This system provides steel on steel friction to help control sway events, and the trunnion bars will be a bit easier to install than round bar systems.

If you also need a rise/drop adapter for your weight distribution system to help make sure you're able to tow level, you can use the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Shank - 12" Long - 10-1/4" Rise, 5-1/2" Drop - 1,200 lbs TW # FA92-02-4214.

I've linked a brief review video of this system for you to have a look at, as well.
