According to the specs, that is a 24.5 foot trailer - I am assuming not including hitch length? I would get a weight distributing with sway control hitch.
As already asked, what is he towing with?
For that size trailer, being not that big, a simple WD hitch with friction bar sway control would work fine if he is towing with a capable truck. Smaller tow vehicle, go with a fancier hitch. Or if you want just buy the nicer one right away - you won't go wrong with it.
Installing a hitch may seem intimidating, but if you are handy with tools it is not that hard. In the world of RV's, "dealer installed" is not something to brag about, and you will find from these forums something to avoid.
My hitch was installed by the dealer... it was years later when I realized with some simple adjustments I could have a much better towing feel, and I should have installed the hitch myself at the beginning.
Live and learn!
This was my thought as well; if you need a fancy hitch to pull 7,000 pounds, you probably don't have enough tow vehicle to begin with. I have pulled more than that on a weight carrying hitch, although I prefer WD for anything over 5k pounds.
