Are Replacement Parts Available For Original Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution Hitch?
Question:
I have this part of a weight distribution hitch on my trailer. It is a 35ft ,11000 Gvwr travel trailer. Can I get the rest of the hitch, or should I get a new one ?

I reached out to my contact at Reese and what you have installed on your 2013 Forest River Salem Travel Trailer is the original Reese Strait Line Weight Distribution Hitch which has been discontinued for quite some time so there are no replacement parts available to get the rest of the system.
Instead I recommend replacing it with the newer version, the # RP66130, along with shank # RP54970 and 2-5/16" hitch ball # C40030.
I included a few videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
