I recommend using the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA92-00-0800. This system will give you sway control for your 2021 Riverside Retro 189R so that it tracks straight and is not wandering around on the road behind you. The weight distribution will keep your 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee riding level when you are loaded so that you do not get that light steering feel or the front brakes not operating as they should when hauling. The system is rated for trailers with a GVWR of up to 8,000lbs which you are at 7,360lbs, and a tongue weight of 400-800lbs. Your trailer having a dry tongue weight of 360lbs will quickly increase as this does not include the weight of the battery or propane that is put on the camper at the dealership so it will fall right in line with the tongue weight you will have.

You will need a 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # 63840 and 1-7/8" 12pt Thin Walled Socket # ALL643216 to install the ball onto the hitch head.
