With a tongue weight capacity ranging from 1000-1500 lbs, the Curt # C17501 TruTrack would be perfect for the Jayco travel trailer you described. The system provides proven weight distribution along with very effective trailer sway control, that will combat trailer sway caused by cross winds and turbulence from oncoming and passing traffic.

The system includes all the necessary hardware as well as the 2-5/16 inch trailer ball.

I've linked to a product demonstration video that you might find helpful.
