Weight dist. hitch---How much Hassel?
Been researching TT vs class C. For the sake of argument lets assume if I buy a trailer I will install an EQUALIZER 4 point hitch. Lets further assume that as I drive across America I will want to u...

Thanks for all the great comments! Several things I hadn't thought of. I doubt we would haul a toad on a class C, but didn't realize a WD hitch might be needed if we did. I didn't think about leaving the hitch head attached to the truck and only having to store the bars.
Packer Backer, why take pressure off the bars if still hooked up? Warp over time? Help with levelling or stablizing?
rbpru, your comment "I cannot imagine comparing a TT to a Class C. Breaking camp every time we wanted to visit a tourist trap just would not work for us." What am I missing? Seems to me breaking camp w/a class C would be easier. OH LORDY...Why did you have to mention Quilt Shop!!
Sound Guy, yup you got it, except for the expense.
tinstartvlr, thanks for the Hitch Grip tip. I especially liked how much of their ad shows a woman easily installing the hitch head.
As is probably obvious I have never towed a TT. Did tow a 5th wheel and found hooking up quite simple. I like the idea of a backup camera to get the ball aligned. Seems like hookups could be as easy as a 5W.
If I go TT it will be towing with my existing 2003 lo mile F150 and we already have a 25' lite trailer in mind that easily meets the tow capacity. Issue in my mind was complexity and difficulty disconnecting to run around in the truck. I'm beginning to see it may be less cumbersome than I thought.
