Examining the floorplan and pics of this model and it sure looks like there's no front pass through cargo compartment on this trailer as there is with many, mine included.

Two words of thought. I don't think the HA or PP will have enough load rating for that heavy of a tongue weight. 1350 lbs dry TW will easily exceed 1500 lbs.

I second what SoundGuy has suggested. Why dampen sway or wonder if you need sway control when you can eliminate the possibility altogether and never give it another thought. Hensley and ProPride 3P hitches are pricey but worth every penny. Best money I ever spent to make my trips much less stressful.

I am positive that the Hensley maxes out at 14K.
Pretty sure the Pro Pride does too.
So, not a match for this TT.

Better check the rating on your receiver hitch (it will be stamped on it). I tow a 38' 11K trailer with 1600# tongue weight with a F250 (2016). I use a Reese DC, heavy duty (1700# rating) and it has distorted my class IV hitch. The pin holes are elongated and lots of slop in it. I'd put a class V on it,

I wonder what the delivery driver drives and what hitch he uses for these heavyweights?
I find it strange that your front end does not change height. I have 4 WD with the towing and plow packages, and my front end will raise with 5K lbs on the hitch. Have you measured the fender height with and without load on he hitch?

We are looking at the following travel trailer:
2017 Mesa Ridge MR340FLR
GVWR - 13,350
Hitch weight - 1,350
Unloaded weight - 8,885
Length - 36'
Do I need to start looking at the Hensley Arrow or ProPride 3P Trailer Sway Control Hitch?
