Sorry about that blank message.

I had a few quick questions. I just recently bought a different camper. It is smaller that my old one, the new camper I have now is 23 foot long has a max GVRW of 4700 and a tongue weight of about 500lbs, I am guessing. My old trailer was a lot bigger, so I had 1000lb bars on my equalizer hitch. I
have called the company (Valley) and they no longer make parts for this older hitch. My question is will I be alright using these big bars towing this smaller camper? Will it bother anything, or cam it cause an accident, loss of control, etc.? If these bars are too big and I do need to buy a new setup,
what should I buy 500 or750 lbs. Bars for the new hitch? Thank you!
