Expert Reply:
According to the sticker shown on your hitch, your hitch has a 600 lb tongue weight capacity which would be reduced to 300 lbs. This means that the total weight suspended from your hitch, including the trailer tongue weight and that of any hitch accessory plus anything loaded on it could not exceed 50% of the hitch tongue weight capacity which is 300 lbs in this case.
This being said, you would not want to use a dual hitch adapter with a weight distribution hitch because the adapter isn't designed to withstand the leverage that the spring bars would exert. Your weight distribution hitch would need to attach directly to the hitch on the vehicle and not through an adapter.
