weight distibuing hitch
I was at the rv show here in Chicago over the weekend and looking at a travel trailer. I know about the payload thing when it comes to trailer weight and pretty much had a trailer in mind (a frbs21 flagstaff) gvw comes out to just under 6,000(4700 dry) and tongue weight at about 500. I feel ok towing this with my 1500 ram. Anyway this other trailer my wife started to fall in love with was a bit heavier but the hitch weight jumps to almost 700(dry). Sales guy tells me that with a weight distributing hitch it would be like zero on the hitch. Now I'm not that wet behind the ears and proceeded to walk away.
Other sales guy is in front of a 8,000 pound (dry) trailer and tells me that a 1500 can handle it. I suggested that one would need to replace the TV after a short period of time. He proceeded to tell me that with air bags and this or that that it would be no problem. Almost as if this large trailer could be towed with a yugo.
I know I'm new to the travel trailer world but do I have stupid written on my forehead or something?
