I'm new here and guess have to learn the rules the hard way! Anyway, great advice and much appreciated. I hope those who I rubbed the wrong way can sleep better tonight. ;)Re: Do Weight Distribution Hitches Matter much?lol I'm a normal Joe just like all of you. Been played? Anyway, to all of those who helped (I'll remove anything related to the company I work for,) I am new to the camper world so that being said, I appreciate your help and being on the road with the WDH was a great idea, thanks for the advice. CA and AZ had some really bad winds and it made a substantial difference. Don't worry, I'm not going to sell you a trailer. (The company I work for brokers cargo trailers etc, not travel trailers!) Thanks!Re: Do Weight Distribution Hitches Matter much?I bet those downhill runs do help! It's all hooked up, you can all rest easier knowing I'll be climbing the hills safely. ;) Thanks again much appreciated. Take care, we're off to the hills!Re: Do Weight Distribution Hitches Matter much?Right on! The WDH it is :) Thanks for the invaluable feedback.Re: Another new memberWelcome! I just joined today as well and have already had a healthy dose of some fantastic advice. It's a good place to be for sure. Looking forward to getting to know some of you all.Re: Do Weight Distribution Hitches Matter much?Awesome, great info and thanks. I'll give it a try. I pulled my trucks info and found I have a class IV receiver which I think gives me a max tongue weight of 1,000 but the WD hitch is worth a try so I'll let ya know how it does. We're taking off tomorrow and climbing over the Rockies (Loveland Pass) so it should be fun as long as we don't hit any of Colorado's Mountain blizzards =) Thanks again for the info, I really appreciate it.Re: Do Weight Distribution Hitches Matter much?Thanks for the fast response. I was doing some research and this article (http://voices.yahoo.com/gas-savings-tips-towing-travel-trailer-7934006.html) gave me the idea about using the hitch as we're likely to travel around 3500 miles this month so anything to save a little gas money will help. :) And this is the hitch: http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/Camco-Elite-Weight-Distributing-Hitch-Kit-1000-lbs-Capacity/52097/&?&affiliateid=3274&cvsfa=2734&cvsfe=2&cvsfhu=3532303937&gclid=CMv59PnvpbYCFZFaMgodQHgAdADo Weight Distribution Hitches Matter much?Hello all, I have a half ton truck with a lightweight trailer (4700lbs dry weight) and have never used a weight distribution hitch though I have one sitting in my garage and will use it if they really make a difference on fuel mileage etc... thoughts?
