New to TT's

We have had 2 truck campers, 2 5th wheels, and a class C; but never a TT. I'm kicking it around. Sell the Montana and get a medium size TT; less than 10,000GVW and under 35ft. The wife is having trouble with the 5th stairs and I'm having trouble with the height forcing me to use truck stops a lot.
The question is...pulling a say 33ft TT with a longbed 1 ton crewcab SRW truck....how much do I need to focus on weight distribution hitches and sway control. We will travel west and Midwest with winds. Maybe both, but not going to the extreme with a Hensley?? It's not a money thing, but you know, it's always a money thing.

    You consider THAT "medium sized" ?

    Get under 30' and 7,500 lbs and one or 2 bump outs.
