The real question is how close us your trailer to the 6000#? If you are within a few hundred pounds, move up to the 10000#. Why? Because it'll handle your current trailer and then be there for you when you upgrade to your next, certainly larger, trailer. A lot of folks not familiar with the way the Equal-i-zer actually works always throw out a concern over having too heavy of bars but I can assure you there's greater margin than a traditional WDH setup. Yes, I do run the Equal-i-zer and know a little something about the mechanics of its operation. That said, if you only have a 4000# camper, certainly 10000# or larger will be too much.
Yes, I believe this is the correct question. Thanks. I'll get the 6k hitch. I was trying to save a couple bucks.
For the record, my trailer is near the 600/6000 hitch capacities, and Equal-i-zer recommended I purchase the 1000/10000 unit over the 600/6000. They stated the larger capacity hitch could be adjusted to appropriately handle my lighter trailer.
