I have a triple axle car trailer with some serious tongue weight. I don't know what it is, but it IS heavy. Would this work? I really only need it to support the trailer empty &amp; to move it the several inches or so when I'm hooking it up.

Bear in mind that I have no idea how heavy you're talking about, but I was able to move a Serro Scotty (1967 version) about 200' in rough terrain. It was not easy but I was trying to do something that the device was not really intended to do. Again, I don't know how much weight you're talking about, so take what I say accordingly. I was impressed by the power of this thing. If you're talking 12" or so on flat, paved terrain, it may do the job. If this is a giant fifth wheel kind of trailer, you cannot do it.

I use mine on a boat trailer but my boat weighs about 1000lbs. You should be ok since each tire would be loaded with 750lbs. plus trailer weight. Check the posted load rating on tire to be sure.

The trailer itself shouldn't have anything to do with it, Either it accepts a 1 7/8 ball or a 2" ball would be the question. If you have a class 2 receiver on your car they do make a step up adapter to class 3 but beware your class 2 mounted to your frame will only take so much "tong weight" maybe too much if what your pulling is too heavy.

I would think so. We bought it to pull our 28 foot camper that weighs ~5,000# dual axle. There also may be a # you can call directly.We actually you tubed this system before we bought it. So maybe try that too.Hope I was somewhat helpful.

Well its not this system! Used on my camp trailer to assist the springs so that when I walk in it doesn't sway so much and it works well but I am about 10% of the weight you are talking about. I think you should look at air bag spring assists and adjust the air for the weight, much more money.

It should work...I use mine on a 4600 lb travel trailer and it works on flat hard surfaces but it's not easy. Keep the tires pumped up!

Yes, I am using mine with two axles on a 16 ft trailer. Works great with my '04 Ram 2500.

I believe it is the amount of trailer tongue weight. I have a 30' camper that has a GVW of 10000 lbs. I needed a 1000-1200 lb. trunnion bar. I have no trailer sway at all, great hitch.

Jim, I see your unit has a tongue weight of 825lbs. My unit has a tongue weight of 650lbs. I believe this would be the critical work necessary for this jack. As for my use, the jack will raise the camper and the truck weight off of its suspension. This jack is very strong. I believe you will have plenty of lift for your unit.

After an internet look at the Keystone , it seems to weigh about 5100 pounds making the tongue weight about half of the 5100 pounds. The jack is rated at 3650 pounds. Therefor I believe the jack would lift the trailer tongue with no problem. My whole trailer weighs less than 2000 pounds fully loaded.

Rick If you are experienced using a bumper hitch trailer with several hundred pounds of hitch weight you know how your trailer should feels. If it is not feeling right try moving your chain one link tighter. In other words do a bit of trial and error on a safe flat road. In my case I tighten the hitch chain by one link and it improved the roadability and improved my diesel mpg. Ed

That's what I have it installed on. I dont recommend using it to lift a loaded trailer, but it works fine.

You didn't list the size and weight of your trailer so I'll answer your question in general terms. This hitch with our large Travel trailer works great so I would assume it would work just as well on an empty trailer. As for the weight distribution its a built in part of the hitch system. The anti-sway and weight distribution system work in concert with each other when you connect the hitch. You can contact Andersen directly if you need more info.

Not sure I completely understand and if this is specific to this trailer or any trailer. It would handle better with one kid than two, and better with none than one. The more weight you are pulling the worse it handles. Bottom line, this is an amazing trailer for the price. I don't have anything to compare it to, but have not had any disappointments. I have a 5, 3, and 1.5 year old. And have pulled just about every combination of two and each by themselves. No problems.

This part is for an adjustable weight distribution head and is really beefy. didn't see a rating for use on the Curt site, would suggest contacting Curt Manufacturing. I set it up for a 700# tongue weight and 6000# trailer.

I am not sure I understand your question fully. This set up will tow up to 1,000#'s tongue weight so your 250# tongue camper should tow just fine. I have a 25ft 500# tongue camper I pull with a 1990 GMC V-8 350 1/2 ton pickup and it pulls mine fine, slow but sure.
