To the OP: Don't let the fear folks work on you. Backing a TRAVEL TRAILER is exactly like backing a boat trailer. There will be a slight change in the steering response but right is still left and left is still right. Nothing that can't be mastered in an hour at the high school parking lot.
Ford and GM have both drastically revised their "Requirement" for WD hitches in the 21st Century. Owner's manuals are available online and I challenge anyone to quote the requirement for a WD hitch on any late model half ton pickup towing a 3,500 pound travel trailer. One thing that is necessary is to verify the weights with a trip to the scales. ON ANY TRAILER.
Money may not be a question but I prefer to have a $20k travel trailer sitting for weeks at a time instead of a $100k rv.
