Weight Distribution hitch

Welcome and congratulations! I hope you have many fun adventures and make many great memories with your RPod.

There are many options but three seem to be popular. A lot depends on what you are willing to spend, and how much weight you want to handle.

I used to have an Equal-i-zer 4-point sway control WD hitch. It is good, but the hitch head is quite heavy. I now have a Hensley Cub hitch which is quite effective, but very expensive. I like it, but it is a bit of overkill for the RPod. I have my reasons for the purchase, but the expense is not necessarily what most people would be willing to spend. I got it on a sale price which lessened the pain.

A second choice is the Fastway E2 hitch. It is very similar to the Equal-i-zer, but only claims 2 point sway control. It is less expensive, but also has a heavy hitch head.

A third choice is the Andersen No-Sway hitch. It is quite different in that instead of using heavy bars for weight distribution, it uses chains and urethane springs. Sway control is done at the hitch ball, which pivots in the hitch head instead of the trailer pivoting on the ball. A friction material lines the shaft of the ball. It is much lighter in weight than any of the ones above.

This is not a complete list by any means. There are other brands such as Blue Ox, Camco, or Reese. A search will lead to information about all of these with reviews.
