New WD Hitch Needed- Reese DC or SC?
We are very seriously considering upgrading to a new trailer, a Jayco 32BHDS. Listed dry tw is ~900lbs, so I am figuring after propane and battery, close to 1200lbs + what is loaded in the trailer, so...

TY for the discussion for and against the DC. Still leaning towards the DC, but "crunch time" hasn't reached yet so I can still have time to ponder this.
Kevin,
Do you have the "assist handle" (or whatever it is called) to "latch" the bars up? Even with the DC system you generally need to raise the tongue/ truck up to latch the bars up even with the assist handle.
How long is your trailer?
Just a crazy thought, have you ever weighed your combo? Could you be transferring a little to much weight back to the trucks front wheels?
Yes, I have the bar to lift the snap up brackets, however I have never used it. I use the power tongue jack to raise the trailer and then I just snap them up by hand.
My trailer is 32ft (35ft ball to bumper).
Yes I have weighed my trailer. dry weight is 7100lbs and loaded ready to travel weight is 9200lbs +/-. my tongue weight is right around 1200lbs. I don`t weigh it every trip, but the weight is consistent and I always load the trailer up the same way for every trip.
