Recommended 1,000 lbs Spring Bars for Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Systems

Question

Question:

I have a fastway 800lb hitch for a travel trailer that has a tongue weight of about 850lbs but the trailer weight is 7350 is this the correct hitch and bar setup or should I upgrade the bars to the 1000lb bars due to the hitch weight?

Expert Reply:

Tongue weight is typically between 10% -15% of your trailer's total weight so with the 800 lbs spring bars you're already over their capacity. I recommend upgrading to the 1,000 lbs Round Spring Bar for Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Systems item # FA94-02-1099.

The risk of going to a higher than needed spring bar is not that it will bend the trailer frame so much as it is that the ride quality would become harsher. Now if your tongue weight is 650 lbs an 800 lb round bar like the part #FA94-02-0899 would…
