Helpful Expert Reply:
I recommend using the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37120ET with your trailer. This hitch is rated for a tongue weight of 800-1,200lbs and a maximum weight of 12,000lbs. With the dry hitch weight of 760lbs and the dealer installing a 50lb Battery # BRW34FR and filling the propane tanks this will put you over the 800lb minimum weight requirement.
You will need a 1-7/8" 12pt Thin Walled Socket # ALL643216 to install the included 2-5/16" hitch ball.
