34P and weight dist hitch

[Klmracing]

So I’m still in the process of buying a 1983 34P. I have a 2019 F250 4x4 diesel that’s my tow pig. The camper is about 2 hours from my house and I’ll be bring it home to do a deep clean and reseal the roof before I start using it. My question…… do I really need a weight distribution hitch to pull the 34ft camper with my f250?

I will take a stab here.... You could get away with not having a weight distribution system since you are just towing it home. It's not going to be loaded, obviously. Just be careful.

What, exactly are you buying? Is it a 3-axle trailer, or 2? I am asking because to my knowledge there wasn't a 34P model designation. There was a 32P, 34V, 34W, 34X..... the 34's would be 3-axle.. the 32's are 2-axle.

It’s a 34ft 3 axle. 1983. Vin says it’s a P

I could very well be wrong on the model letter designation, but it’s definitely a 34ft 3 axle. It’s been a little bit since I’ve looked up the vin number and I should be going to pick it up within the next 2 weeks……… so I’ll have ALOT more questions by then. Thanks for the reply.

When I purchased my 34V last year, I towed it home about 2 hours with my Ram 2500 and no weight distribution hitch with no problem. It was a cool rainy day and I held my speed under 60 mph. I am now towing my trailer with a ProPride no sway hitch. It is a dream to tow. Just completed a 600 + mile trip with cross wind up to 30 mph. Towed straight behind me all the way. Love the stability that the ProPride gives me.

Looking forward to see what you bring home.....

Well I went ahead and picked up a Husky 12k hitch today for $125. Couldn’t pass it up. Should be able to bring it home in about 2 weeks hopefully.
