Sorry for the confusion. It's a Reese 2.5" Class V. Bought in the late 90's. It appears that my 12k may have been wrong.

I saw no need for the WD Hitch, as I have been hauling a 10k lb cargo trailer (car hauler) for years without one (and without a single problem in over 100k towed miles); however, as soon as I began Rv'ing I've had two separate people (at State Parks) offering their unsolicited warnings about towing a TT without a WD hitch.
This was the entire subject of my post. I saw no need, but with people coming to warn about it, I thought maybe I was missing something. I am new to the RV world.
