Hello everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today I'm gonna take a look at this replacement head for the Reese Round Bar Weight Distribution System. Now this adjustable head assembly works with the Reese Round Bar Weight Distribution System. This will work on the Reese Systems, part number RP61009, RP606087, RP606088, or the RP67509. All four of those systems we do sell separately on a website.
This part here is just the forged raise ball platform eliminates the need for a raised hitch ball. Now this will require a hitch ball with a one and a quarter inch diameter shank which we do sell separate on our website. It's usually listed on this product page as a related product. But basically your hitch ball will go right in here. So this opening is one and a quarter inches.
Now all the mounting hardware and the block style adjustment washers are included. Also, they do include the shim plate right here. And then this portion here is just saying bushing that if you happen to go down to a one inch diameter hitch ball shank you would put this reducer bushing in here and then install your hitch ball. Now this is for a quantity of one replacement weight distribution head. But that should do it for the review on the replacement head for the Reese Round Bar Weight Distribution System.

The original was badly worn as it was never said by the dealer that the spring bars (hardened steel) needed lubrication! So they ate into the casting, ruining it. Needed grease fittings, or a hardened sleeve, so this replacement was needed... Worked perfect, I had the tools, replaced the ball as well, and it's still in great shape, now that I use a heavy grease, rubber gloves, and take better care of it! The one image shows the damage... Thanks for all you do!
I was taken care of really well
My original Reese head the tab for one of the weight bars broke off and I could not use the weight bar. I ordered the replacement head from Pat at etrailer on Monday and I got it on Wednesday. When I got the head it fit right on and had no problem installing it. We towed the camper that weekend and it work great.
My only complaint is Reese does not make these in the US any more. They are now made in China. Reese has added more metal to the weight bars locking tab so hopefully this will help the tabs from breaking.
This was the second item I had ordered from etrailer and their service and web site are great. I will definitely order from them again.
The hitch is great. I needed a replacement for an old one that's the tabs broke off of. Was very happy e trailer carried what I needed.
The top holes on my Reese round bar hitch head had worn after ten years of towing, allowing the round bars to slip out when hitching up. after nearly busting a toe, I looked at replacement hitches. Ouch! This replacement head saves me hundreds vs. buying an entire new hitch. E-trailer upgraded my shipping and I had it in three days, also the best price I found locally or online. If you have to move your hitch from vehicle to vehicle, or tow multiple trailers as I do, the adjustment washers on this Reese hitch make adjusting the angle of the head a two minute process.
This replacement part was easy to order and shipped the next morning. Part was identical to the original. This is my second order through etrailer and they are nice to deal with.

The replacement head for my weight distribution hitch works like the original. No problems.
Very helpful in finding the correct part. Had to send pics, and they were able to determine the correct part.
Many on line issues with this part due to the tab breaking off that the bars slide into. They re-enforced the tabs by adding more welding material. That is good, I guess, but now you can not get your bar on due to the extra welding material. Its at least an 1/8 of an inch thicker if not more. If you have a grinder, just grind it flush like your previous model, and it will work again. Otherwise, return it, go buy a grinder and grind it smooth, or find someone with a grinder.
One of the things no one tells you is you are supposed to use lube with these parts. Make sure you lube these, and you will probably get a few more years out of them.
I needed a part for a ten year old weight distribution hitch on a travel trailer. eTrailer had the right product at the right price. Delivery was prompt. Everything fit well. I'm a happy camper!
Overall this seems good and sturdy. Have used it tow a 4000lb trailer without the distrubtion bars. Disappointed that the included Washers were completely rusted at the 3 week mark from being installed. Also didn't realize that this head would require very specific bars.
We have not used it, however, we have prepared it and it will work out perfect for our 2007 Chevy Tahoe & 2007 Trailrunner. Quality looks good, well made just like our previous Reese hitch head. I was not in a rush to receive it as I prepared to have it ordered well an advance, so delivery time was acceptable (3-5 days) and fees were free over $150.00. A blessing since its a weighty item.
this is the part I was looking for. Beats replacing the entire hitch assembly and a lot cheaper. The first one lasted me approx. ten years so this is perfect! Etrailer is GREAT to work with. They have a great web site for finding your parts and they ship'm right out. Good people!
Product fits perfect with my already existing weight distribution thank you for the promt delivery as I have a fishing tournament over 200 miles away and I know with perfect confidence my travel trailer will make it there perfectly safe

Previous version had clean sharp lines, the replacement looks like a poor sand casting. Makes me question the quality of the iron used in the casting.
The head was a perfect fit. Its working fine. We had help installing it,as we didn't have big enough tools to do the job. love it!
