Will the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System Work With a 2019 Forest River Vibe 26RK
Question:
I have a 2019 forest river vibe 26rk that came with an e2 weight distribution system rated to 800lb and wanted to make sure the weight rating was appropriate for this camper. What size would you recommend?

Usually, you'd want to find the trailer's fully loaded tongue weight by using a tongue weight scale # e99044 to determine the compatibilty of a WDS. I did go ahead and check out some specs on your Forest River Vibe and it looks like the GVWR is 6,328lbs which would make your total tongue weight about 630lbs - 950lbs.
This means your Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA94-00-0800 could be fine but honestly you'd want to load up your trailer and really figure out what your total tongue weight is to be certain. Ideally you'd want to pick a system that has your total tongue weight right in the middle. So if your total tongue weight was around 700lbs the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA94-00-0800 would work, but the next step up # FA94-00-1000 would be the better system.
