Thank you guys! The guy actually had a camco trekker with 1200 WDH with sway control. Drove half way home staying in hotel now and still feel very slight sway that experienced pullers probably don’t even notice.
If you were so nervous driving that trailer that after 1 hour you stopped and stayed the night in a hotel, you might reconsider RV life and look at renting a cabin in the woods...
Regarding this thread, the WDH argument reminds me of the "you need a 1 ton dually" argument.
I've towed 6-7K lbs horse trailers all over the northwest with a 1/2 ton bronco or 1/2 ton conversion van and never thought once about WDH. Didn't even know it was a thing until realizing everyone on this forum thinks you need one if you have a bumper pull trailer regardless of the truck pulling it. I have a friend with a trailer in the mid 20' range pulling with a 3/4 ton diesel and they sold her a WDH... really?
I understand if you have issues and feel excess sway driving down the highway or if you are towing at the ends of the limits of your vehicle, but for the average weight range? Really doesn't seem like a necessity.
I wasn’t going to comment on the hotel thing, I’d have stayed in the camper if I was spending the night with my new camper.
Throw some water in it, bring a couple sleeping. Bags, or buy a couple at the Wallyworld for less than a hotel room and have a camping trip!
