I also have a diesel F350 and 8000# trailer. Years ago I replaced the silly OEM receiver with a new one rated to handle much more tongue weight without the need for a WDH. Yes, I could tow the RV without the WDH. I also have stableloads on the rear suspension which I really like and they engage after 500# of weight in the bed so they are engaged when the trailer is hitched for much better side to side stability.
I always tow the RV with a WDH. It just rides better. If some part of the WDH broke or was stolen then I would have no worries about driving home without the WDH. Margin of error you might say.
Newer Fords have the big 2.5" receiver and may have higher weight limits on the OEM receiver.
