Helpful Expert Reply:
I looked up the specs of a Coachmen Freedom Express 259FKDS and it had a GVWR of 9,000 lbs. For a trailer with that GVWR, since your total tongue weight will be in the 1,200 lb range, the correct Blue Ox weight distribution system is the following:
- Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution with Sway Control # BXW1500
This is for total tongue weights between 1,000 lbs and 1,500 lbs which yours will fall right in the center of, making this hitch the perfect option. The system comes with everything you need for installation, with the only other part required is a hitch ball, with the correct ball being the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # 19286.
