Thanks,
Do the bars impede the normal vertical angle travel of the trailer on the ball?
I only ask this because I also have to drive to my MILs farm which has tight hills worst than what I have drawn for the site above. This is in transit, so the bars would be set for travel. Also, the trailer frame is aluminum. I would not want a hitch that provided vertical resistance/stress in these situations, but I fear that is what a WD hitch is.
This would make your ball mount closer to perpendicular to the TT tongue when in the depicted slope angle, so hitching and unhitching should not be a problem.
With the front of the TV lower than the rear as you have shown, the load on the WD bars is reduced, so overloading of the tongue should not be a problem.
