Do they make a weight distribution hitch that I could use on my camper?

I have't seen them advertise any weight distribution hitches yet. Pretty sure they would respond to an email about future plans.

Great looking hitch! You know, you can use the pin inserted through the side-wall of the receiver and adapters just far enough to hold them in place while you slide in the hitch. Then you just push the pin home once it's lined up.

I think the expression is, "exaggeration to make a point..."

Oh I know. I just like to point out the obvious I do the same type of things with my son.

Yes, Michael just hadn't dealt with adapters before so I kind of let him figure it out. I was having fun at his expense but he's a pretty good sport about that kind of stuff. Getting rid of the adapters is great and all but that scale is amazingly accurate and responsive. You could see the weight change when he was bouncing on the tongue. I'm truly impressed.

Edit, I see you responded above. Yes, what are kids good for if you can't mess with them every now and then?

GREAT video! Really enjoyed it. That 3" is mighty impressive...and offers tons of girth.

So, I was on the Amazon and found this video in the reviews with the weigh safe hitch product. Seems like a hug security issue. See link...

Epic -- Do you see this as a concern with your weigh safe hitch?

Nice video. A lot of effort between the two cameras and the drone and the music. Good job.

Love the hitch. I have that same PJ trailer as one of my smaller landscapers. Good trailer.

I have relatives out in Sandy...your neighborhood looks a lot like theirs.

I'm not worried about the Amazon review Biz. I don't even use a lock on my hitch as it's only on my truck when I'm using it. The whole thing seems silly anyway. The comments on that review are actually worried about someone TIG welding an allen wrench to the screws to steal your trailer. OMG, yeah, that's happing all over the US right now. Scary! LMAO.

Tyler, you have relatives in Sandy? Me too...
