Weight Distribution Hitch Question

How hard is it to swap from a trailer that you have a wd hitch on to one that doesn't have one? What all is involved.

Been thinking about getting a wd hitch for my big trailer but I often swap trailers 2 of more times a day between the three different trailers that I have.

Switching between trailers is simplest when they use the same size ball. However you can pull the WD hitch from the receiver and insert another ball mount in the receiver that is appropriate for the 2nd trailer.

Jeese. I never finished my answer. I think I am losing my mind somewhere. getting old, I guess.

Anyway, I pull the WD hitch out when I am done pulling my travel trailer, and put in a triball adjustable hitch to handle eerything else.

here is the triball I use, but there are many on the market.
