When we went from our 5th wheel back to a 32.5' TT back in May, I opted for a Reese HP trunion style with no sway control just to satisfy the receiver's ratings. I set it up myself while waiting for our trailer to be built. I went with 800 lb bars. Not sure what the actual tongue weight is but advertised is just over 700 lbs. Probably 900 lbs by now. Ours tows great. I feel a little push from side winds and gusts but not bad. We've towed it almost 2000 miles so far and I have no desire for more hitch. Rear sits 2.5" down and the bars bring it back up an inch. Front doesn't change either way. Trailer is 1" low in front.
Back in '94, we bought a 21' TT and the dealer set up our Reese trunion style hitch. It was squirly and tiring to tow. After a second hitch and some learning on my part, I finally ended up towing our TT with a short standard ball mount with no WD or sway control. Towed great. Tongue weight set the rear of the truck down 2" so the truck was level. Trailer was an inch low up front.
