Wow.....I didn't think my question would cause so much debate.

Just so I'm clear we definitely plan on getting WDH, even if the specs say we don't technically need one. I thought about buying one upfront and bringing it up with us. Only I figured that I'd have to install it in a random parking lot near by. I never thought that the rv dealer would install one that I purchased, but I will certainly ask now that I know it's possible.

I was more worried about towing an empty trailer, meaning I'd have almost no way of altering the tongue weight, but you folks calmed my worries about that.

There's about 5 topics that are button pushers
1. Gas or diesel
2. If diesel....Ford, GM or Dodge.
3. WD hitch or not.
4. If WD hitch....which one.
5. 6v batteries or 12v........

And by the way, I'm in the WD camp. Takes me 6 minutes to do all the lash up. So time is never really the issue. I think there are a number of folks that see the WD hitch as a crutch proving their pickup isn't stout enough. I firmly believe it is just a nicer and safer ride with it. I've nothing to prove or be ashamed of.

You forgot tires. :B
