According to the spreadsheet in that topic, 17' Casitas' Tongue Weights are all over the map, but most
fall in the range of 300 to 500 pounds, with the majority above 400 pounds. The
lightest standard Weight Distribution Hitch is a double spring arm version rated for up to 600 pounds.
For 400 pound tongue weights and below there is a
light duty single spring arm version.
