(366 reviews)
It says for hitch weight 200-600 lbs and max trailer weight of 6000 lbs.

They make a 450lb e2 trunnion system.
And Blue Ox makes the Sway Pro in 350lb and 550lb tongue weight options.
The sway pro is nice because you can change the trunnion bars if you buy a heavier trailer. Cannot with most others as the diameter of the bars vary with each weight system.
Both fine options for you.
Yes, a 1000lb system is too much for your trailer.
Get a sway/weight distribution combo.
F0M0C0: I need some help choosing the correct weight distribution hitch for my application. The picture above shows the specs of my tow vehicle, a 2015 Ford Explorer.
My camper is a StarCraft AR One 16BH and the specs are
Dry Weight
2,530 lbs.
Payload Capacity
670 lbs.
GVWR
3,200 lbs.
Hitch Weight
325 lbs.
I read that you don’t want a weight distribution hitch that’s too soft or too stiff but all of the hitches I have found are rated for 1,000 lbs.
Am I looking for one rated for 500 lbs based on the specs above?
This one has a tongue weight range of 400-600

Any help is appreciated.
SmokinEngineer: That trailer is so light I don’t know if I’d bother. But if you insist, I’d recommend a 1000lb equalizer

AKLegoGuy: Curt 17063 MV Black Round Bar Weight Distribution Hitch with Sway Control Kit (14,000 lbs. GTW, 2″ Shank, 2-5/16″ Ball)
I use the previous model of this one towing a 14ft enclosed behind my class C. I never tow over 4000lbs with it but a 27ft class C plus a 14ft enclosed trailer plus 60+ mph winds it makes a huge difference.
