Dave,
Welcome to the forums! We are glad you are here and hope you get all your questions answered and post often.
Even though we do have some curmudgeons, this is the largest RVing website in the world and you can usually find at least one person to answer any question you might have.
I suggest you do use a WD hitch as the tongue weight is going to be much higher than you anticipate and the WD hitch will make the towing safer, smoother, and less stressful.
We have an excellent sticky at the top of this forum on how to properly set up your WD hitch. I suggest you take a good long look at it and even possibly print out the first post as a reference when you get your trailer and hitch.
Again, welcome! Please come back often and post about your adventures and problems/solutions. :)
