I'm assuming you have an Outdoors RV trailer from the Timber Ridge family line. Which specific model is it? ORV trailers are known to be somewhat tongue heavy which is why we went with a 3/4 ton instead of a 1/2 ton for our recent Timber Ridge upgrade. Our 23DBS is about 900lbs heavier as delivered compared to the published full featured dry weight. Lightly loaded at around 8000lbs the tongue weight is 1180lbs which is close to 15%. We are using a Blue Ox SwayPro 15K hitch with 1500lb bars. Excellent sway control, easy to hitch up and pulls very nicely.
As others have suggested you should get everything weighed so you know exactly what your weights are and what your actual tongue weight/percent is. That will help to make an educated decision about which hitch and sway control to use.
