Best Weight Distribution System for a Keystone Springdale Travel Trailer
Question:
I am looking for a complete weight distribution hitch with sway control for a 2022 Keystone Springdale 220RD with dry weight 4799 complete loaded weight 6329 and tongue weight of 580 pulled by a 2018 Ford F150. I have heard good things about the Reese RP66082. Will this be the best option for me and is it complete except for the ball?

The Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control item # RP66082 would work for your 2022 Keystone Springdale trailer if you were never going to fully load it. Tongue weight is typically 10%-15% of your trailer's total weight so you would be well over the 600 lbs maximum capacity of that system. I recommend using the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control item # EQ37100ET. This system has a tongue weight range of 600 lbs - 1,000 lbs and would be a better match for your travel trailer. This system includes a 2-5/16" hitch ball. For a 2" you will want the item # A-90.
