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.
With all respect Dodge Guy, if just mooving your dirty clothes and the cooler, make a ''huge'' difference for a TT of that weight and size, you are really on the edge and so border line. It's like playing the Russian roulette. In a emergency manoever like a fast lane change to avoid debris or anything else on the road, you may end up like this one :

Yes, a HA is expensive ($3K) but how worth the rest of your combo ?
With a SUV and a 34' TT, it's the only system that will save your a... in a emergency situation.
