It levels out your tow vehicle and trailer, puts weight back on the front axle, and settles the whole rig down at highway speed. Rated to 10,000 pounds gross trailer weight, and it comes with the shank and a 2-5\/16-inch ball already on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've ever towed a loaded travel trailer with a plain ball hitch, you know the feeling. The back of the truck squats, the headlights point at the treetops, and every passing semi shoves the trailer around. A weight distribution hitch fixes that, and the EAZ-LIFT ReCurve R3 is one of the more sorted-out ones Camco builds. It's the 800-pound trunnion-bar version, rated for up to 1,000 pounds of tongue weight and 10,000 pounds of gross trailer weight, so it covers most half-ton and three-quarter-ton setups pulling a mid-size to large travel trailer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's what it actually does. The spring bars tie the trailer's A-frame back to the hitch head and use that tension to transfer tongue weight forward onto the tow vehicle's front axle and back onto the trailer's axles. That's the whole point. Instead of all that tongue weight pressing down on the rear bumper and lifting the front end, it gets spread across the rig. Your steering comes back. Your headlights aim where they should. Braking gets more predictable because the front tires are loaded again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe R3 uses trunnion bars instead of round bars, and they're top-loading. Trunnion bars mount into the head horizontally, which gives you more ground clearance underneath, handy on steep driveways and gas-station aprons where a round-bar setup can drag. Top-loading also means you're not fighting the bars up into the head from below during hookup. Camco builds these from high-carbon steel, and there's brake-pad friction material worked into the sway control, which keeps things quieter and holds up better over a lot of miles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSway control is built in, not a separate bolt-on bar. There's an adjustable friction system you can dial in by tightening the clamp bolt to match your trailer and the road. Crosswinds, a truck blowing past, a semi in the next lane, the R3 damps that side-to-side wag before it builds into a real problem. And when you hit ice or a slick road where you actually want the trailer to move a little rather than fight the tug, you can back the sway control all the way off. That's a nice touch a lot of integrated systems don't give you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit is genuinely a kit. It ships with the adjustable shank and a 2-5\/16-inch hitch ball already installed, so you're not buying a ball separately and torquing it in your driveway. The shank adjusts for drop and rise so you can get the trailer sitting level with the tow vehicle, which is what makes the whole system work correctly in the first place. If the trailer's nose-high or nose-low, weight distribution can't do its job, so plan on spending a little time setting the ball height and bar tension the first time out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this for? Somebody towing a travel trailer in the 6,000 to 10,000 pound range with a tongue weight up to 1,000 pounds. If your loaded tongue weight is closer to 500 to 800 pounds, this 800-pound bar rating is right in the sweet spot. It isn't the hitch for a little single-axle pop-up, the bars will be too stiff for that, and it isn't enough for a big bumper-pull pushing past 10,000 pounds. Match the bar rating to your real, scaled tongue weight and it'll ride great.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne honest note on setup. A weight distribution hitch is only as good as its adjustment. Measure your tow vehicle's fender height empty, hook up, and adjust the bar tension until the front fender comes back close to where it started. It's worth doing right, and once it's dialed, you leave it. First-timers usually get it sorted in a driveway afternoon. After that, hookup takes a couple of minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e800 lb trunnion bar rating with a 1,000 lb maximum tongue weight, sized for most half-ton and three-quarter-ton travel trailer setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10,000 lb maximum gross trailer weight rating covers mid-size to large bumper-pull travel trailers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in adjustable sway control damps side-to-side wag from crosswinds and passing traffic, and can be turned fully off for icy roads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTrunnion-style spring bars mount horizontally for extra ground clearance over round-bar designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTop-loading spring bars make hookup easier, no wrestling the bars up from underneath\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-5\/16 inch hitch ball included and pre-installed, no separate ball to buy or torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjustable shank included, sets drop and rise so the trailer rides level with the tow vehicle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-carbon steel construction with integrated brake-pad friction material for quieter towing and longer service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRestores front-axle load for better steering, braking, and headlight aim with a loaded trailer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Camco reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat size trailer is the ReCurve R3 800 lb hitch rated for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's rated for up to 10,000 pounds gross trailer weight and up to 1,000 pounds maximum tongue weight, with an 800-pound bar rating.
