Equalizer hitch necessary???
I'm towing a Gulfstream Ameri-Lite 21 (18') TT with a dry weight of 3215 pounds. The hitch place that installed my brake controller told me that I wouldn't need an weight distribution hitch for such ...

The Equal-I-Zer is a brand of weight distribution hitch with built in sway control.. I assume you are just referring to any type of weight distribution hitch.
While you may not NEED one, I don't think there is any reason not to have one (except for cost). It certainly won't hurt anything, and it might be useful in an emergency situation.
When you mentioned "emergency situation".... I'm assuming your referring to having sway control with the Equal-i-zer than with "just any type of weight distribution hitch" as the just any type of weight distribution hitch doesn't do anything for sway control unless it has an add-on sway control bar.
For the OP... as mentioned you didn't indicate what type of tow vehicle you have and that could really determine if you actually need a weight distribution unit. Please let us know.
