What size WDH??
Getting ready to do a PDI on a new trailer - Grand Design 2670MK. Included in the price is an Equalizer WDH. What size should I get? GVWR of the trailer is 8495. So hitch weight could be up to 127...

I'd say it depends on how much you plan on loading in it. My campers dry weight were nearly identical at 6500lbs and 650 tw. I packed lighter as I had a half ton, loaded weight was 7500lbs with a 900lb tongue weight. Then kids came around and I was approaching 8000lbs loaded and when the second kid came along I got a RAM 3500 as the quad cab wasn't big enough.
The 1200lb bars are good for 800-1200
the 1400lb bars are good for 1000-1400
I thought I got the bigger one at the time incase I wanted to upgrade to a larger tt however knowing what I know now I probably would have gotten the 14k one as that really was the larger one for me the 12k one was sized just right.
After year three I stripped everything down and wire brushed everything to repaint. Upon inspection. I noticed my hitch head weldstart had cracked. Equalizer sent me a new head once they received a picture. Great service.
One other thing to think about is that the Equalizer brand hitch is not allowed to be used without the weight distributing part. Had I know that I would have looked into another brand. Now that I am getting a 5er the hitch is not use able for me.
