FyreDraic, I suggest you take the trailer to a CAT scale and weigh it. According to the HiLo brochures for that year (1995), there were NO 22ft TowLites manufactured. There WAS a 22ft Classic, and its factory weight is about 4100#. The hitch weight is shown as 460#, but that is clearly a misprint - it SHOULD be close to 600# if the trailer weight is 4100. My 17ft TowLite HiLo weighs about 3500# without any water in the fresh water tank, and that is about 500# more than the brochure says it should weigh in that configuration.
An Equal-i-zer hitch is a very good WDH, and it should take care of the issues I mentioned in my earlier post. It should also let you set the ball to the proper height for towing the trailer level.
You DO want to find the actual weight of your trailer so that you don't overload it or your truck with cargo, thinking it weighs less than 3700#.
I'm not trying to be a wet blanket here, but you DID ask, and the experience of many of our members is that the trailers are heavier than the listed weights. Find out what yours really weighs and what its tongue weight is too! The ideal tongue weight is between 10-15% of the trailer weight. Anything less can lead to trailer sway and that can kill you, or others.
