Weight Distribution Trailer Hitches
Why Do You Need a Weight Distributing Hitch?
A weight distribution hitch ensures that the weight of your payload is evenly distributed across the axles of both the tow vehicle and the trailer. It achieves this balance by using adjustable spring bars and tension. This even distribution enhances stability, improves handling, and ensures a safer towing experience. In most cases, you can back up without disconnecting from your camper when using a weight distribution hitch.
Explore our selection of weight-distributing hitches for towing campers and RVs, including models like SwayPro™, TrackPro™, and 2-Point™.
What Does Trailer Tongue Weight Mean?
The tongue weight is the static force that the trailer tongue exerts on the hitch ball. For example, if you have a 2,000-pound conventional trailer loaded with 1,000 pounds of cargo, the appropriate tongue weight should be between 300 and 450 pounds, or 10-15 percent of the loaded 3,000-pound total. Using a tongue scale will help you confirm the actual tongue weight, ensuring your setup is safe and balanced.
