Simple test with YOUR TV and YOUR FULLY LOADED TT to determine the need for a WDH. Hookup your fully loaded TT to your TV and measure the front wheel well height. Raise the TT tongue off the hitch without moving the TV and remeasure the wheel well height.
If the difference between the two measurements is less than 1/4 inch the you could get by without a WDH. If the difference is between 1/4 to 1/2 inch then you should get a WDH. If it's more the 1/2 inch then you absolutely need a WDH.
The best test is to weigh your TV steering axle with the loaded TT attached and a second weighing with the TT NOT attached. If attaching the TT REMOVES weight from the TV steering then you need a WDH.
