I ran into the same situation with our F250 and Jayco 28RLS. Our receiver is rated for 650 lbs tongue weight. I think 1250 with WD. The advertised tongue weight is 700 lbs. It's probably up around 850-900 with battery, full propane and all of our stuff in the closets and pass through. I bought a Reese HP trunion style WD hitch with 800 lb bars for no other reason than to satisfy the rating of the receiver. I attach the bars to the last link and it tows like a champ. No sway control needed. I've found over the years that I get the best tow with as little lift as I can get away with on the WD. preferably none if the TV is capable.
I've watched the delivery drivers deliver some big ones at the dealership using one ton duallies with just the ball. No WD or sway control.
