Hello I have a 2018 Honda odyssey with a 3500 tow capacity. The trailer is dry weight 3000 lbs and a 395 tongue weight. With battery and gas tank that would be 460 lb tongue. We only plan to load trailer with kitchen stuff. All clothes, cooler, food, hoses, and other stuff will be in our van or separate vehicle. We plan to tow flat roads that are all less than 30 min away. Likely we will not go on highway. We know we are at our max. What weight distribution hitch is a good for this. Does this add a bunch of weight? I am not opposed to traveling without battery being hooked up and can hook up at site if needed.

I have a Freedom Express Liberty Edition 292 on order. In the process of finding the correct weight distribution hitch. The unloaded tongue weight is 848 lbs., unloaded vehicle weight is 6622 lbs. , and a gross vehicle weight is 7800 lbs. With two full propane tanks, battery, and supplies in the forward storage compartment I'm guessing a Blue Ox Track Pro BXW 1050 10,000 GTW/1,000 TW would be to little. The next hitch they have is a BXW1350 13,000 GTW/ 1.300 TW. Is that to much hitch for that travel trailer?

I recently purchased a hybrid camper trailer as an upgrade from our Jayco tent trailer. The camper trailer weighs about 2700 lbs and has an estimated tongue weight of 300 lbs. I will be towing this trailer with a Ford Edge that has a 3500 lbs tow limit and has a factory installed Class 3 hitch. I am considering getting a weight distribution hitch for this set up to ensure smooth towing and i have access to a Curt 17000 round bar weight distribution hitch. Is this hitch a good match for my intended application? Per the information on this Curt hitch, the suggested gross trailer weight is 5000-6000 lbs (with spring bars) and am concerned that this hitch might be too big for my intended application. Appreciate your comments.

I bought the E2 Fastway 92-00-0600 (6000 lbs, 600 TW) to pull my travel trailer (3400ish dry weight, 485 TW). I then had my 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited pulling it (very short trips). Since then I bought a truck to pull the TT. It's a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500. Will my E2 work with this truck? Or do I need to upgrade to a bigger tongue weight?

Need help in determining what size WDH I need for a 20' car hauler GVWR 7000? I haul various cars and trucks so it is not one standard.
