Bought a used TT, 2004 28foot loaded tops 5000lbs...
2nd, is a equalizer type hitch where u have the square bars that connect to the trailer as in the 2nd picture...THIS IS NOT THE HITCH I HAVE JUST SHOWING THE STYLE I AM TALKING ABOUT...
square type distribution
So my question is which one of the hitches is better to use for my set up as listed above?
Hard to believe a 28' trailer's GVW, loaded and ready to camp, is going to "top out" at just 5000 lbs ... heck, my own 19' couple's trailer "tops out" at just under 5000 lbs ready to camp. You need to recalculate or better still go weigh it.
Secondly, assuming that Equal-i-zer is in good shape AND is
properly sized for the TRUE WEIGHT of your trailer I can't imagine why you wouldn't use it as it's one of the best out there and has been for years.
Your task, should you choose to accept it :W is to figure out just how much your trailer really does weigh loaded & ready to camp and based on that decide if this Equal-i-zer hitch is the right size for the job at hand ... if so, ensure it's properly installed and you should enjoy problem free towing. :B
