Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch System For a 2022 Keystone Hideout 175BH Travel Trailer

Question

Question:

Hello. I have a trailer with a 485# DRY tongue weight 2022 keystone hideout 175bh. Im just wondering if the Reese weight distribution hitch, part # 49911 is a good fit for this? It is rated up to 600 lbs tongue and 6000 pounds total.

I recommend using the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0800 with your 2022 Keystone Hideout 175BH. The Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution # RE34FR will be quickly overloaded as it is only rated for 200-600lbs of tongue weight. With your Hideout weighing 485lbs dry the 20lbs of propane along with a 48lb Battery # BRW34FR will put you at 553lbs. Since the storage is also on the front you will want to go with a system like the e2 # FA92-00-0800 with a rating of 400-800lbs of tongue weight. The trunnion style bars are also better as they do not hang below like the round bars of the Reese which can fall out while driving. The spring mounted pin the Reese uses can allow for the bar to fall out while the e2 uses a pin and retainer to hold the bar in place.

You will need a 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # EQ91-00-6100 and Thin Wall Socket # ALL643216 to install the hitch ball on the Fastway head.
