Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch For A 2016 StarCraft AR One 14RB 255 lb Hitch Weight
Question:
Was wondering if the CURT C69JR or the Blue Ox BLU65FR would work for my 2016 StarCraft AR One 14RB. I will be pulling it with a 2013 Honda Pilot. Thanks for the help.

We can definitely set you up with a weight distribution system to use on your 2016 StarCraft AR One 14RB. This camper has a hitch weight of about 255 lbs, so both the Curt # C69JR and the Blue Ox # BLU65FR will be rated much to high to use with a camper like this. For example the # C69JR is made for campers with a hitch weight between 800-1,000 lbs.
Instead I recommend the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution Hitch # BLU36FR. This is made for campers with a tongue weight between 200 and 600 lbs, so this will be sized nicely for your camper. Blue Ox makes an extremely solid weight distribution hitch. We have found them to provide excellent sway control and to be very easy to assemble.
Please note that in order to use the # BLU36FR, the lift brackets must be placed on the frame mounted 20" to 25" back from hitch ball. You will want to measure the tongue of your trailer to ensure you have room for the brackets.
