WDH - how much does it reduce tongue weight?

We began this adventure in 2009 - hence my "senior" status here - with a 30' 2000 Fleetwood Flair, Class A. No bells or whistles, no slider, just a very well-designed, comfortable, easy unit. We towed a 2001 Cherokee. But my husband, who has no mechanical ability at all, grew increasingly nervous as our Big Trip progressed. The day we crossed the Continental Divide behind a pilot car in a driving rain along a muddy cliff-top road under construction, slipping and sliding, pretty much did him in. When I noticed his reluctance to take the rig out again, I suggested that we get rid of it. Sob. We did, and he drew a huge sigh of relief. (The Ozzies who bought the shebang from us took it from the Bering Sea to Key West in one 3-month trip and eventually hit every state and every Nat. Park.) So I was very surprised when he wanted to look at trailers. I think he figured that a non-mechanized box on wheels wouldn't pose as many automotive worries. Little did we know about the hitching process - so easy hooking a toad up to a Class A!

I'd kill for a B or even a small A - we can't get to the bed on a C any more - not safe enough in the middle of the night. But I think our self-contained travel days will be over when we give up the truck in 18 months. I love it and think it's a great way to travel, but he's doing it for me and is never comfortable with it. And that's why I'm not comfortable with him doing it.
