Recommended Weight Distribution and Sway Control for Coachmen Catalina Legacy

Looking for the correct weight distribution hitch with sway control to pull my 2020 Coachmen Catalina 263BHSCK, Hitch weight 634 lbs. GVWR of 7600 lbs

Expert Reply:
You'll want to choose the correct weight distribution hitch based off of the fully loaded tongue weight of your trailer; your tongue weight should be between 10-15% of the GVWR of your trailer. Based off of these estimates you're going to have a trailer that has a loaded tongue weight of roughly 1000-lbs.
I recommend using the Strait-Line Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control - Trunnion Bar - 12,000 lbs GTW, 1,200 lbs TW # RP66084 which is designed for trailers with tongue weights between 600-lbs and 1200-lbs. The Strait-Line is a great choice that provides weight distribution and sway control with cams, for a smooth towing experience with less noise than traditional friction based sway control systems.
I've linked a review video of this system for you to check out, as well.
