    Have a V-5 hitch rated at 10,500 with load eq. but my draw bar and ball is only rated at 6000. Will be getting a camper close too 6000 or perhaps more so where do I finder a higher rated draw bar? Didnt see them at Wal-Mart

    You will want to put a WD hitch on it.

    Yes planning on the WD I guess I should get all the parts including the draw bar as a package. Any WD's prefered over the other?

    I'd suggest a Tow & Stown from B&W if it will work with the WD. It gives you a range to adjust your hitch height, which you are going to want. I've always had good luck with their products.

    B&W makes a real good product, I have their tri ball adjustable height hitch and really like it, it does however weigh a ton, but well built.

    Yeah you won't see them at Wal Mart but I do see them at Tractor Supply (Farm & Fleet in other parts of the country) and they sell draw bars that are rated up to 12k, IIRC. There is also a camper sheel & truck accessory place near me that sells them also so might want to check for a place like that where you live...

    The bar will be solid steel and not tubing.
