When do you actually need a WDH?
I normally pull my 5'r and that's what I'm set up for. Now, our friend has a Trail-Lite TT I move for her now and then in and out of storage at the campground. She does not have a TV at this time. ...

The requirement for a WD hitch or not is based of the hitch on your truck. It should have a sticker on it and it will tell you what weights for load bearing and what weights the WD hitch is needed. If you have a class 5 hitch on your truck this is the info for it:
Class V hitches used as weight carrying are rated up to 12,000 lbs. gross trailer weight (GTW) with a maximum trailer tongue weight (TW) of 1200 lbs.
Class V hitches used for weight distributing are rated up to 17,000 lbs. gross trailer weight (GTW) with a maximum trailer tongue weight (TW) of 1700 lbs.
I personally would not worry about it with that trailer and your TV.
That said, for what you are doing I wouldn't fool with it.
