Yep 1200 lbs minimum. my 35 foot TT weighs 9200 lbs and has a loaded TW of 1200 lbs. I have it setup so I have that much TW with 4 bikes on the back. when leaving for a trip everything is great. coming home after I use up all the beer and pop that I keep up front, and all the clothes that we use from our front bedroom are now in the basket in the rear, the trailer has a slight sway. I always need to move the dirty clothes up front along with the remaining things in the cooler. just that small amount of weight can make a huge difference! it took many trips to get it to tow properly. and I did it with a Reese Dual Cam. take your time to get it set up properly. you can buy a HA or a PP, but then you`ll just have an expensive improperly setup hitch! and get that receiver swapped out for a good one.
