Hello

I struggled with the weight of the weight distribution hitch for years. It's very heavy, awckwardly shaped, dirty, and greasy.

Finally I got off my ass before the next trip and made this:



I am shocked at how well it works:

• The EMT conduit is plenty rigid enough to keep its shape with the weight of the hitch hanging off it
• It's very comfortable
• Can be used with one or two hands, from the top or the side
• Slides in and out of the hitch holes easily when unloaded, and not at all when loaded

All that's required is a 1/2" conduit bender and 115cm of EMT (the final length after the cut is 90cm).

4 bends one right after the other, offsetting to avoid the bender's pipe only on the last two bends.

I have almost no experience bending conduit, so probably anyone can do this. And if you have an electrician friend: I'm sure he'll be happy to help in exchange for a coffee/beer/whatever.



If you don't have some handle for your hitch: really thing of making one, it is soooo nice!
