I have a 250 ford Diesel and a 30’ classic. So I need the weight distribution and sway system set up?

Thanks

It’s a good idea, in my opinion. Sway can happen with any rig.

Yes.
BTW, the YouTube RV family KYD has a diesel F-250 and a 30' Flying Cloud Bunk.
They use a Blue Ox Sway Pro and seem happy.
If you attend an Airstream Rally and observe the hitches, Equalizer outnumbers the others 5-1.
Choices are out there.

Greetings from the Florida Panhandle

We tow a 25FB with a 3/4 ton Silverado. We have quite a bit of experience (sixteen years/2,200 nights/200,000 miles). We have always used a sway control/weight distribution hitch system. We would not tow without it.

Yes. Its' combined in most cases.

An equalizer or Fastway E2 hitch will get it done.

More sway control than WD IMHO. With the big rigs passing you as they zoom up and down I-95 you will enjoy having a hitch that eliminates sway.

Lots of choices!
