Finding the correct weight distribution system for multiple trailers can be a difficult task because weight distributions systems must be chosen based on the fully loaded tongue weight of the trailer. For your situation, I would recommend Weight Distribution System, # RP66542, that you referenced. This system will be more effective on trailers with heavier tongue weights which is where sway and weight distribution will be more of an issue.
One thing that you should keep in mind when using one weight distribution system for different trailers, is to adjust the spring bars according to the fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of the trailer that you are towing. Also, keep in mind that anything loaded behind the rear axle in your truck bed will contribute to the tongue weight for the weight distribution system as well.
