Best Weight Distribution System with Sway Control for V-Nose Trailer

Question:

I have an enclosed trailer that has a v nose on it. I want to add weight distribution hitch. When looking at the one on my camper it has the spring bar holders 28 1/2inch from the ball of the trailer. I do not have that much room. I could get 26. Is there a system I can use for this? I also want sway control.

The best option for installing a weight distribution system on a v-nose trailer would be to use one that installs on the side of the frame rather than clamping around. The best option we have for this with integrated sway control is the Strait-Line Weight Distribution System with Chain Hangers for Reese Weight Distribution Systems part # RP58305. I have attached a list of the Strait-Line Weight Distribution Systems below. The correct one will be based on tongue weight like part # RP66084 for example which is for up to 1,200 lbs.

There are short arm systems which install closer to the coupler but they don't have sway control.
