Found a place online that has the E2 800/8000 trunnion version for about $360 shipped. I can't pass up that price. I want to get that one since my Jayco runs about 4500-lbs with 600-lbs tongue weight.

I'm assuming these come with the ball when you order. Would that be a safe assumption?

No, you have to order the ball, too. Or order one from another supplier. They warn of making sure to get the right size (threaded circumference, length). I just bit the bullet and bought the one they sell.

That is a good price. I paid about that for my 600/6000. They don't come with the ball because the ball size could be 2" or 2 5/16" depending on trailer.

OK thanks. They shouldn't show it with the ball mounted in all the pics then. It's pretty deceiving.

Just as another point of reference ...e-trailer.com offers some great internet deals now and then. That's where we got our "Equal-i-zer" 600/6,000 hitch. As previously mentioned though, you need to buy the "ball" separately because they normally install these on larger trailers that accept a ball that is larger than 2" and the Pod trailer will only accept the 2" size. Plus, the ball needs to have a larger (thicker) shank and be of a certain length so that it won't interfere with the hitch itself. The ball we needed was called an "8K" ball because it was rated at 8,000 lbs. Equal-i-zer and other manufacturers make these but they are generally not available (at least in my experience) at local hardware stores or Walmart/Kmart.

I don't know where he got it but RVW has them for $332.00 and they have free shipping. |

I'm pretty sure RVWholesalers is where I got mine last year. This page shows their ball selection. http://www.rvwholesalers.com/catalog/rvw-tow-center-travel-trailer-hitches-e2-weight-distribution-travel-trailer-hitches/ |
