Weigh t-Distrib utin g Hitch
A weight-d istribu ting system works by applying lever-
age throu gh spring (load ) bars. They are typ ically used
for heavier load s to distribu te trailer tongu e weight to the
tow vehicle’s front axle and the trailer’s axle(s). When
used in accord ance with the manu factu rers directions, it
provid es for a more level rid e, offering more consistent
steering and brake control thereby enhancing tow ing
safety. The addition of a friction/ hyd rau lic sway control
also dampens sway caused by traffic and crossw ind s and
contribu tes positively to tow vehicle and trailer stability.
Trailer sway control and a weight distribu ting (load
equ alizing) hitch are recom mend ed for heavier Tongu e
Weights (TW), and may be requ ired depend ing on Ve-
hicle and Trailer configu ration/ load ing to comply with
gross axle weight rating (GAWR) requ irem ents.
Weigh t Distrib utin g System s may not be compatib le
with Surge Brak e Cou plers. Con sult with an autho-
rized hitch and trailer manufactu rer or a rep utab le
authorized Recreation al Vehicle dealer for addition al
inform ation .
