All interesting reading. Since my family owned and RV shop, I've been towing (since I was 16) with and setting up WD type hitches since I was 15. So the 5-10 minutes it takes me to hook up is really "normal" operation to me. I presently use a Draw-Tite W.D. with 1000# bars and a Friction type Sway control. Now compared to the more designer W.D. Hitches out there, this may seem pretty cave man. But in reality, it is quick and easy to hook up, not nearly as expensive as some of the others. Mine has a 2-1/2" drop shank(from Curt) to go into the 2013 GM 2500 HD receiver so the head is a little portly, But probably not any heavier than the rest of the bunch. I've seen and used a Blue Ox and thought it was a pretty clean, sano and easy to hook up. Since I have mine already, I will keep it 'til I see the need for something different. Also, just for the record, I've never had sway problems with the previous trailer (1984 25' bunkhouse) or my present 24' Creek Side. I am not a fair weather traveler either, I tow in all weather except extreme snow and ice..............hate that!
