I'm long winded, sorry, just trying to describe the steps.

I had an Equal-i-zer 4 point WD system for my previous TT. The head on the hitch would pivot downward if the bars were not attached. There was an adjustable set screw under the head that prevented the head from tilting upward, like a stop. But it could (and did) tilt downward when the weight of the trailer was on the ball. Attempting to move the trailer without bars would definitely cause the head to tip backwards, causing the ball to be at an angle to the trailer coupler. So, in my case, it was never an option to even slightly move the trailer without bars attached. At home, I had a second hitch that was solid, but did not have bars for short movements in the drive way.
Only once, did I pull the pin from the receiver hitch and leave the hitch attached in the coupler. Only once, rehitching was a nightmare.
