HI! I know this has been talked about extensively, but all the posts never seem to really have a true answer. I am looking for more info as to whether you can use a weight distribution hitch with the Discovery. The manual says no, and I know the reason is the air suspension, but if you talk to a travel trailer dealer, they say you should always use weight distributing hitches for travel trailers.
Does the Discovery air suspension REALLY distribute the weight itself without the weight distributing hitch? Can a pull a decent size travel trailer behind a Discovery without weight distribution?
Also, I saw two different stickers on the hitches at the dealer I was at. One said the tongue weight was 770 max, the other 750. Anyone know the real one?
I LOVE the discovery (although many of you don't) and I am trying to make it work for a tow vehicle for our travel trailer (6500lbs max loaded weight, 25' 9" from front of hitch to back bumper). I know the vehicle is a bit small and yes, a suburban would be better, but it falls within range for all the weights and capacities.
Anyone else out there towing travel trailers?
Thanks in advance for any insight into this.
