A lot of RV dealers install Equalizer hitches for customers.

For anyone else considering an Equal-i-zer hitch - the popular 1,000 / 10,000 lb model is sold in 2 versions - one without the hitch ball mounted, the second with the hitch ball already mounted on the head, eliminating the need for a torque wrench capable of 430 ft-lbs.

Still doesn't solve the need for a torque wrench that can torque those head shank bolts to 320 ft-lbs. ;)

An extra $50 just for an installed hitch ball...
A properly rated hitch ball, properly torqued to the head, no fuss no muss no effort, no need for a torque wrench capable of 430 ft-lbs, no need to drive anywhere to get one properly mounted ... seems like a deal to me and unquestionably the route I'd go if I were buying another Equal-i-zer. :B
