The CURT round bar weight distribution hitch with integrated lubrication offers a smooth ride and level towing with its heavy-duty components and built-in lubrication system. From travel trailers to popup campers, the CURT WD hitch is the perfect camping companion to let you Bring It. The strength of the round bar WD hitch begins with its heavy-duty, formed steel head. The formed construction allows for a precise design and supplies the durability needed to manage the weight of heavy trailers. Something unique to the weight distribution hitch is its grease zerk fittings, built directly into the head, allowing for easy, continuous lubrication at the spring bar mounting location. The spring bars are installed from the underside of the WD head and are made with forged steel for optimum strength. Like other CURT weight distribution hitches, the round bar hitch comes with a highly adjustable shank and chain hookup brackets for the perfect amount of tension to level the load. The shank fits any 2" x 2" receiver tube opening, making it compatible with most class 3, class 4 and class 5 trailer hitches. The head is also compatible with our 2-1/2" weight distribution shanks to match the heaviest of class 5 hitches. The hookup brackets and spring bars of the CURT WD hitch use chains and a simple snap-up design for easy setup and adjustment. This particular round bar weight distribution hitch offers a towing capacity ranging from 6,000 to 8,000 lbs. GTW and 600 to 800 lbs. TW. It comes with installation hardware, though a trailer ball must be purchased separately. The built-in sway control attachment tabs on the head allow it to readily accept one or two sway control units #17200. To protect this WD hitch on the way to your next destination and beyond, it also comes with a durable carbide powder coat finish. ## Features - LEVEL TOWING.

Easy to set up on my RV and truck. Would recommend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Have large wrenches, will travel. *by E***. on April 8, 2019* Set up, easy.Ease of use, same.Stabile control? Not bad at all.I went through the mountains with this attached to my old camper with very little difficulty in steering control. A piece of advice, invest in a set of larger impact 1/2" Drive sockets, wrenches, and rachet. It will make set up much faster.Tear down after the trip was a breeze. Even though I could not for the life of me get it back in its box like it was shipped. Oh well.I recommend this product to others with smaller campers that are prone to being top heavy. Worked well for me. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Robust hitch. Works great. *by L***N on December 19, 2022* Found a video that was easier to follow than the written instructions. Used for a 25 ft travel trailer. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/20253119-curt-17051-mv-round-bar-weight-distribution-hitch-up-to](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/20253119-curt-17051-mv-round-bar-weight-distribution-hitch-up-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
