Towing a 8.5x20 enclosed advice

I run an inexpensive Harbor Freight WDH on my 20' enclosed, I don't have a v-nose, but my buddy uses the same hitch on a 16' v-nose. Since I already have considerable weight on my rear axle, I use that WDH to move that tongue weight around to the other axles. Although I have a friction anti-sway bar, I have not not installed it because The trailer has tracked fine without it (even when passed by semis). Your truck is much lighter than mine (maybe half the weight), so the trailer may try to push it around more. In this case an anti-sway device would help you.

I don't understand why Wells Cargo would not allow a WDH unless they have weak tongue design that damage it. My 20' has three beams coming together to the coupler to create the tongue and is rated for just under 10K lbs.

I have 17K lb rated hitch on my truck. When I do not have the truck camper, I can tow without the extension and WDH safely. I would not try this with your OEM hitch even if you were under your rear axle rating.
