Reese Dual Cam Size with a toy hauler???
Hello all, I am brand new to the forum, thanks! :) I have what is possibly a dumb question, but am looking for some advice. I am getting a Reese Dual Cam Hitch. I have a toy hauler that weighs...

As a side note relating to hitch brands....
I'm actually considering the Blue Ox hitch this time around. I loved the dual cam, but I could see the bite marks where the bars kissed the ball-nut. I know I never jack-knifed it backing, but my turning radius going forward was actually tighter that my trailer wheelbase. I even had the bar come out a couple times doing U-turns. Van will getting some F550 upgrades soon including a new Fat-boy axle, which means it will turn even sharper (and I now have to run a longer shank due the cargo box and tire on the rear doors). The ball mount on the Blue-ox is up away from the bars so it can turn a few degrees sharper without the bars binding. I'll probably add electronic stability control to the trailer though, because I just don't trust that the Blue-ox would provide as much control as the Dual Cam.
