From what I was able to determine with some research, it looks like the 2021 Coachmen Catalina Expedition 192FQS has a 5040-lbs GVWR and 540-lbs tongue weight; you'll want to choose a weight distribution system based off of the tongue weight of your trailer when it's fully loaded, which should be at maximum 15% of your GVWR.

I recommend using the Strait-Line Weight Distribution System w Sway Control - Round Bar - 10,000 lbs GTW, 800 lbs TW # RP66087 which is the perfect fit for your trailer's tongue weight and gives you a really nice sway control system that works with cams that lock into place during sway events to keep your trailer in line with your truck. This system is designed for trailers with 400-lbs to 800-lbs tongue weight, so it's a great fit for your Catalina 192FQS and the sway control cams aren't nearly as rigid as other sway control systems, so your ride will be nice and smooth.

I've linked a review and installation video of this system for you to check out, that you might also find helpful.
