Weight Distribution Hitch? Newmar
I have a 2000 Dutch Star with a 5000lb hitch. Can a weight distribution hitch be used on this with its airbags? Would the airbags not fight the attempt to raise the back end?

If your hitch receiver is only rated for 5,000 pounds, it probably is not compatible with WD. Any receiver capable of using WD will have dual ratings; Weight Carrying and Weight Distributing.
BTW - The longer the rig's wheelbase, the less WD will change axle loading. But sometimes it's necessary simply to stay within hitch receiver ratings.
