The 10,000LB Equal-i-zer # EQ37100ET is going to be the best weight distribution hitch for your 2022 Crossroads Sunset Trail 253RB. Your Sunset Trail having the 540lbs dry tongue weight will quickly increase with the addition of the battery(50lbs) and 40lbs of propane when the dealer installs them. This will put you at 650lbs of tongue weight before you add your camping gear putting the 600-1,000lbs this Equal-i-zer # EQ37100ET is rated for in the correct range for your camper.
