Question:

I have just purchased a 2013 Rockwood roo and want to know what hitch you recommend. The trailer weight is 4800 lbs. And towed with a 2018 GMC Sierra. Any help is appreciated.

Helpful Expert Reply:

The Blue Ox 2-Point Weight Distribution System part # BLU82XR would be an excellent option for a 2013 Forest River Rockwood Roo. It's rated for up to 10,000 lbs of gross trailer weight and 800 lbs of tongue weight which should cover just above every floorplan.

The system also has built-in sway control which will help you keep the trailer in a straight line out on the highway. It comes with a pre-torqued hitch ball as well.
