I have read a lot on both this forum and the internet in general. I have a 2016 LR4 and am considering purchasing a Coleman 202RD. The dry weight is 4225 lbs and the hitch weight is 471 lbs. The length is 24'11". This would be my first RV purchase and I am just making sure that the tongue weight is not an issue. I know the max is 500lbs therefore it is under the specs however once the trailer is loaded it will of course weigh more. They say that the tongue weight should be about 10% of the total weight. IF I do what I am supposed to do then I will be close to the max.
In addition, from what I have read, I should not purchase a weight distribution hitch because it will overwork the air suspension unit.
Lastly, I have read that the LR4 has a anti-sway electronic mechanism so a sway bar is also not needed.
Just concerned with all this weight that I will be making the correct decision to not purchase a WDH and not purchase a sway bar.
I appreciate all your help in advance.
