We use the Reese 350mini for towing our 2,700# loaded pup (12' ox, no trunk or slide) with a minivan. It's nearly perfect for our rig. It incorporates sway control (similar to how Equal-I-zer does it)and is nominally for tongue weights up to 350#. Based on how it's built, I'm sure it could handle 400 easily. Setup is a slight hassle until you are used to it. You have to use the tongue jack to lift the tongue and van rear end high enough to manhandle the bars into place on the brackets. You get used to it.
There is also a Reese 400 single bar unit that is easier to engage, but lacks innate sway control and hangs down lower (an issue for minivan towers like me).
Since some pups these days can get pretty heavy (highwalls and toy haulers), you need to decide on a trailer first, then pick the wdh for it.
It also depends on your tow rig, of course. If you're still using a TT capable truck, you may not even need a wdh for a popup. Get read to enjoy a functional rear view mirror again! ;)
