Can another video be made showing adjustments? For instance, install it intentionally outta whack, then show how to correct it. Head angle being off will affect the distribution, as well as change the balls height. Tipping back too far may reduce ball hight by a half inch, when all a guy wants to do is adjust the bar pressure.
@darylm.9432
it seems to me, following this as stated, will work if you achieve the 1 in. or less on the tow vehicle height, however, if not you would have to loosen up the bolts of the shank/ball hitch and the lower 5/8 bolt to adjust the pitch.... the 5 1/2 turns isnt anything but a good starting point (the instructions say start at level ball pitch) either way, some fine tuning may be required.... i agree with some other comments having a bit more clarity and adjustment for more or less tilt to adjust torsion would be helpful. The instruction manual also states (instead of the initial coupler to ball height adjustment of 1 inch higher) it says aprox 1/8in per 100lbs of tongue weight.
@stevengerig6247
You skipped the important part! How to set the angle of the head for weight distribution!!!! I sat through this entire video waiting for this step!. Amazing.
@geraldwilliamson8270
The video says "turn the thumbscrew out 5 1/2 turns as a good starting point" and "measure the fender height again to make sure it's within and inch of the first measure." It doesn't say what to do if it isn't. How do we adjust the tension of the lift bars? Back off the 260 lbs on the two bolts, loosen the set screw and turn the thumbscrew?
@adamwfisher
Great instructional video. Just to add in case others are curious, the shank can be flipped to attain thr height needed.

The round-headed bolt inside the hitch that I am to set with a punch came loose on my last trip. Also, the units that hold the ends of the bars on the trailer frame also came loose. Is there a secret to making sure everything stays tight? The main 4 bolts and the trailer frame bar holders were tightened down with a 3/4" Ingersol Rand impact and double-checked for tightness with a 2' long breaker bar.

Installed the ReCurve R3 600# system and just traveled 3400 miles with Dodge 1500 Hemi tow vehicle with great results! Great hitch! Did however have 5k lbs air bags installed on the dodge but never air them up over min 5 PSI with truck not attached. Attached to the 29 foot MAllard UltraLite (6900lbs) the air bags PSI reading went to 17psi. Truck was level and camper pulled AWESOME! Great product!

I just installed our this weekend and man am I having a hard time getting it to set up correctly and I am not sure what I am doing wrong!! I followed this video to the tee and the instructions that came with it. 2 things I am having trouble with. First, the passenger side mounting bracket seems to be shifting no matter how tight I get them as soon as I back up and take off causing the trunnion to become uneven... I am on perfectly level ground and my tow vehicle was aligned with the travel when setting this up. I almost am having issues getting the tow vehicle to be within that 1 inch of its original measurement. At this point, I do not feel safe traveling down the road with this setup. Any advice? Otherwise, it has to go back for sure!
@NewVisionLCS
Just what I needed! My RV dealer, Haylett RV, recommended your hitch for our Jayco 22RB! Which R6 model should I get with a GVWR of 6750 and an actual dry hitch weight of 800lbs?
@GuyDuke-cg4dg
On the hangers. There is an insert which can be flipped 180. Your video shows increased contact surface facing up. In the drawing it seems to indicate that flat surface facing up, except when the hanger is rotated for bottom mount hitch, the drawing indicates the flat surface downward. So the question is, the part was designed and built with that increased surface area however no mention is made as too which way that surface is supposed to face. I've sen other videos where they have the extra surface pointed down and not in contact with the spring bar.............. I'd say the flat goes to meet the spring bar but that is just my best guess......

Last question, Your website shows that the R3 may have been shipped without grease and there is worry that it may have developed slight rust in shipping. Camping World cannot tell me when their's was delivered (the one that I have). How can I tell, without the box (since Camping World already discarded that) what day in April it was shipped? I already ensured that there is grease in the trunnion, but have no way of knowing if rust already developed on the inside during shipping. Thanks, Mike Long
@jeffh5388
Outstanding presentation and delivery. You made my life a lot easier with this video. You took a fairly complex procedure and made it look simple - many Thanks Sir.
@denrizza
What tools needed to install? I can't find anything mentioning the size wrenches and sockets needed to tighten the bolts. I had mine installed at Camping World and have to change the shank because I didn't notice it was too small (2" in a 2 1/2" coupler) after I left and it's too far to drive. Yes. I am a rookie.
@pegmoran1922
Two questions: 1. What is the length from the pinhole on the hitch receiver to the ball? 2. When purchasing can you specify the size of the ball?
@unknownriderinbound
Hi, getting ready to install the R6, and I was kind of surprised no torque specs are given for the hook up bracket hardware in the video or in the printed instructions? Just good-n-tight is good enough?
@naderuddin
Can you please make a video on how to grease the weight distribution hitch. Thanks.
@MrPioneerlight2011
Great video...what size are the 2 Bolts so I can purchase the proper wrench to adjust my ReCurve? Any body? Thanks...
@Soundsoftheworld384
I have an r3 installed by the dealer. Lately it's been squeaking really loud practically all the time, even tiny turns like changing lanes on the freeway. Will putting some grease into the grease fitting stop this noise?

We drove my brand-new to me Rockwood 25 09S, 2019 1/2 camper home 145 miles yesterday. No major difficulties but it had a recurve R3 weight distributing hitch included and I have had some problems with the hitch. I question whether it was set up properly and I also question whether the spring bars are too stiff. We almost bought this camper in the 2020 model and had a quotation for the R3 included but the sales representative – a very knowledgeable guy – quoted the 600 pound bars. I said the tongue weight might be as much as 700 and he responded that the ride would be much better with the 600 pound bars. We were severely disappointed with the way the camper porpoised (think a flat stone skipping if porpoising doesn't give an image) and shook going over pavement seams and any kind of moderately rough condition. Very disconcerting and almost certainly indicating a setup problem. I have no problem with my brand-new 2020 ram truck so obviously something is wrong with this set up of the towed camper. Three observations: 1. The 1000 lb bars seem too heavy - maybe they're part or all of the problem? 2. The retention pin on the passenger side bar can't go into the inboard holes and I just watched the Camco video where that's where the factory guy placed it. The pin strikes the outer surface of the bar pin so it can't go through. I'm suspecting the original owner just used the outboard hole (he put it in and I wasn't watching). Would that allow the bar to slop around when pitching and yawing? Why would the bar pin not go in far enough to allow the saddle clamp to be pinned with the outboard holes? 3. Original owner had a 2010 Ram 1500 so we didn't change the setup but the trailer was at least 3" high at the nose. I've reversed the trunion receiver and lowered the position but haven't had a chance to check and see if that made a difference. Any good input or suggestions would be appreciated. Camco ru there? Knowledgeable owners also invited to comment.
