You will want to consult with your trailer's manufacturer for their guidelines on using a weight distribution hitch since you do have an all aluminum frame on your 2021 Intech Sol Horizon Rover. It looks like your Sol Horizon Rover has a GVWR of 4000-lbs, which should have a tongue weight of between 400-lbs and 600-lbs fully loaded. You'll want to choose a weight distribution that has a tongue weight rating where your coach falls somewhere in the prescribed range.

I recommend using the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - 7-Hole Shank - 6K GTW, 600 lbs TW # BLU36FR which will clamp on to your frame and gives you weight distribution with sway control. The TrackPro comes with the head assembly, adjustable shank, hitch ball, spring bars, sway control L-brackets, lift lever, pin and clip, and all necessary hardware for installation. This system will fit in the 2" receiver on your 2015 Dodge Durango R/T.

I have contacted inTech regarding weight distribution hitches and no matter which way I ask, their unwavering answer is: We are unable to make any recommendations as WDHs are an after market product. As I said, I asked numerous ways, one being: Since this is an all aluminum cage is it built strong enough / reinforced to accommodate a WDH? Again, they said unable to answer as WDHs are after market. I even said I don't want a brand, just if a WDH could possibly tweak the frame and thereby void the structural warranty. Their reply was the previous standard pat They did concede with an answer that if we use one don't drill holes to bolt it on, only clamp ons. (BTW: Airstream does advise to use if needed and even recommends brands that will work best on each of their styles, and number of axles. )

@Sylvia Sylvia, I also dislike it when you cannot get a straight answer from the manufacturer. To be honest without confirmation that the A frame on the trailer can handle a WD system, our hands are tied on recommending one. I would hate to have you use one and then it damages the trailer or worse causes an accident while in use. If your trailer has electric brakes then we do have a system that uses the brakes to help counter trailer sway. It is part # 335TSC-1000 on our site.
