I've been looking at this for my next hitch.  A lot less weight on your back when installing it. http://www.andersenhitches.com/Catalog/andersen-nosway-weight-distribution-hitch.aspx It's a very simple system and pretty innovative.  Only limitation I've read is some models of the Atwood...

I'm sure you have a hitch by now, but have you ever seen the one made by Andersen?  One of the nice features is they weigh less than 60 pounds. http://www.andersenhitches.com/Catalog/andersen-nosway-weight-distribution-hitch.aspx http://mrtruck.net/andersen_wdh.htm
