I would have suggested just selling and buying another 5ver as toyhaulers of any flavor are dime a dozen, but I see you bought a new custom unit so probably attached to it.
Idk seems like it would work. But seems like something I wouldn’t personally spend $5 on.
Although I don’t even use a wdh with our similar size weight toyhauler. Hook and go baby!
i did buy a custom built trailer and it is only 30' oal. i thought for sure that was short enough on the bumper that it would tow close to as nice as the fiver we previously had run for 10 years. i guess i was spoiled with the fiver! empty it tows great but wind has grabbed it a couple times and i felt that behind my drw. i kept the drw as the f350 diesel is paid for and trucks are crazy high imo.
with my sand rail pulled in my toyhauler is tongue light and really bad. had to pull 130 lbs of spare tires off the rear and put them on the front during the first trip. that was 85% better immediately. it will be a rear pain to back my sand rail in but that seems to be the best solution at this point. the hitch weighs some 300 lbs ( would have to re read to know for sure) but i don't think that would tech be tongue, or maybe some would be? i like the fact that it bolts on and is transferable. very very few fivers have 14' of true cargo area and i say that as my sand rails front track width is 80" wide and rear is 90". far more bumper hitch floor plans to choose from......if i sold the custom one.
i don't care what it looks like either. our dune trips to idaho are a 16hr drive one way. we cross the entire state of wyoming and a fair portion of idaho..... no shortage of wind in either state. i don't think this would apply any more load or even the same amount of load as a wdh system, but i just don't know enough about it.
