RV Hitch Weight
Your RV Hitch Weight needs to be known and adjusted accordingly! Many of us just get into our truck, hook up the "camper" and drive away - yahoo!!
All is good, until you need to swerve out of the way, stop on a slippery road or steer around a curve! No matter what it is, if your weight adjustment is too far off - you might be off the road - not fun!
The purpose of a Weight Distribution System Hitch is to provide better control of truck and camper by applying "leverage" across the trailer tongue and tow vehicle ball hitch, so they are balanced together.
In case you missed it, please review our Trailer Weighing Page to understand how to weigh your camper/trailer and be safe!
We've
all seen the camper being pulled down the road with a obvious "sag"
between them. The camper weighs too much for the ride and odds are - no
RV Hitch Weight Distribution system is being used to "help the cause".
There are all types and kinds of RV Accessories available to help you
balance out the camper with your tow vehicle. Some are easy to install
and hook up while others a little more complex.
Really doesn't matter - just be sure you've taken the time to get one that suits your weight needs and keeps you safe. A few will require some "muscle power" to complete the weight balancing, but so worth it.
Remember, your
driving more than just a car or pick up now! You'll have several
thousand more pounds following you - all dependent on what you do
-especially in an emergency!
