Hayman Reese offers a good selection of weight distribution systems to suit most vehicle and caravan. The manufacturer has specific models for certain makes and models, too. For instance, the round bar style Pro Series 800lb Weight Distribution Hitch is designed to handle laden ball weights from 275 to 365kg with a strong cast head featuring double-sided friction sway compatibility. With round 30-inch spring bars, the hitch provides sufficient clearance from the Aframe. Lifting handles and chain brackets enable quick adjustments and ergonomic handling.

How to choose the right Hayman Reese weight distribution system.

Follow these steps to pick the best Hayman Reese weight distribution hitch:

1.

Use a Ball Weight Scale under the coupling and ensure all of the weight is on the scale. You will need to unwind your jockey wheel to do this. Record the measurement and refer to a ball weight chart to choose an appropriate-sized weight distribution system.

2. Find The Coupling’s Position On The A-frame

Look for it on the bottom, top, or middle of your A-frame.

3. Measure the A-frame Depth

It could be shallow (four inches), mid-sized (five inches), or large (six inches). For a heavy or medium kit, refer to the A-frame size and coupling position to determine whether you require a Standard or Classic Hayman Reese weight distribution hitch kit. Standard kits provide more Aframe clearance, and classic ones offer more ground clearance.
