Weight Distribution Hitches

[Brian721]

I bought a 1999 Fleetwood Wilderness Travel Trailer approximately 30 foot long and I want to put on a weight distribution hitch on it but I'm not sure where to start. I have no idea what this Trailer weighs, all my documentation that came with the Trailer does not mention weight. I pull it with a 1500 Dodge Ram Hemi. Would like the Trailer as stable as practical before a long trip. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Lots of good information on IRV2 - simply enter the term WDH in the search field on the main page.

Additionally, some of the below links may also provide you with some useful information:

Should provide you with a reasonable guide until you have the opportunity to weight your camper at a CAT Scale or RVSEF event near you.

Empty looks to be right around 6,000 pounds which makes sense for a 30' trailer.

By law, there must be a weight sticker somewhere on trailer.
Most 30 ft trailers would be pushing the limits of a half ton truck, if not over.
Ignore any dry weight numbers.
Only look at the GVWR of trailer.
Look in all cabinets for sticker, if not outside
