For your 2022 Forest River Rockwood Mini Lite 2516S I am going to recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37121ET. This hitch is rated for tongue weights of 800-1,200lbs and a maximum trailer weight of 12,000lbs. With the dry tongue weight being 772lbs by the time you add the 60lbs of propane and your 110lbs of batteries you are already up to 942lbs before you add anything into the front storage or kitchen area.
You will want the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank # EQ90-02-4700 to fit the 2-1/2" receiver on your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500.
A 1-7/8" 12pt Thin Walled Socket # ALL643216 is going to be needed to install the included 2-5/16" hitch ball.
