Original intent was to evaluate potential "stay until you die" options versus where we have lived most of our lives,then sell both TV and RV. Plans and lives have a life of their own and we have had both RV and TV for several years beyond the intent, enjoy both, have spent about 2 months each of the last two years in the camper and find the space available acceptable, the distance from TV front bumper to TT rear bumper manageable, the cat seems to be no more unagreeable during travels than at home, neighbors easier to change and to return to addressing the original question; we removed the original WD/sway hitch and changed to the Andersen hitch with some trepidation, (a decent level of investment with only a few internet posts reviewing at that time)and found our reluctance to travel on questionable roads dropped significantly. If your trailer is in the range of weights that works well with the Andersen hitch do not consider anything else. The lack of grease on your clothing alone will justify the cost.
Quick answer: Travel trailer
