For your 2022 East to West Silver Lake 26KRB travel trailer I recommend moving up to the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Trunnion # FA92-00-1200 over the Round Bar # FA94-00-1000.

The Trunnion # FA92-00-1200 is rated for a tongue weight of 800-1,200lbs and with your Silver Lake having a dry tongue weight of 775lbs before they add the battery and propane you will need the heavier rated hitch, by the time you add your additional gear. The trunnion bars will also give you better ground clearance at your hitch to reduce the chances of scraping over speed bumps that several parks have. The round bar you saw is only rated for tongue weights of 600-1,000lbs.

You will need a 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # EQ91-00-6120 and 1-7/8" 12pt Thin Walled Socket # ALL643216 for the weight distribution hitch.

Yes, a trailer that is nose up can cause big problems. A level trailer is ideal and worth working toward for safety. The good news is that you can get the trailer almost exactly level with switching ball mounts. This is where an adjustable ball mount…

If the trailer is less than 1 inch off of being perfectly level either up or down then it will be perfectly fine. Having it slightly higher would be better because presumably the tongue weight of the trailer will pull it down a little. You could also…
