For some reason RV'er freak about this WD deal. Why? I have no idea?
As far as light steering that is pretty much garbage. If anyone has a set of race scales and puts a truck on them they will find out in short order that a truck is tail light; VERY tail light. A diesel truck is worse.
There is a reason a good handling race car has a 50/50 front to rear weight bias.
All that said, I have a WD on my TT. I snap the chains up just snug. I don't want to transfer any weight with my setup. I just want to take as much porpoising out of it I can. I works fine.
What Turtle n Peeps said about porpoising. Our tow vehicle is kind of outdated now (2006) but one of it's trailers is a light tandem cargo trailer. Towing it on a plain drawbar is nowhere near the max tongue load of the truck. I use an old school WD hitch with the "L" bars and chains and just snug up the bars and the ride is much improved.
