We sure do! It looks like your TAB 320 S Tear Drop Camper tops out a 3,000 lbs which would give it a tongue weight range somewhere around 300 lbs depending on how you load it.

For a surge brake compatible weight distribution system, I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control item # FA92-00-0450. This system works with trailer's that have up to a 400 lbs tongue weight so you won't feel like it is overcapacity. It has built in 2 point sway control that will keep your trailer in line with your tow vehicle when you are driving down the highway and encounter a strong gust of wind or get passed by a semi.

This system includes a 2" shank but it does not include a hitch ball. Depending on your coupler size you will either need a 2" Hitch Ball item # A-90 or a 2-5/16" hitch ball item # C40030.

I have linked an installation video below to help you get it set up.

Hi Bill, The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control #FA92-00-0450 has a tongue weight range of 200lbs - 450lbs so you'd be right around the middle of the capacity when loaded, making this a great choice. This doesn't come with…

Most of the 2-5/16 inch hitch balls will use either a 1-inch diameter shank or 1-1/4 inch diameter shank. The nut size on a hitch ball with a 1-1/4 inch shank, like the Tow Ready 2-5/16 Inch Hitch Ball, part #19286, will use a 1-7/8 inch socket. A…
