I'm new to this and I just watched a video of how to hitch a WDH. I would classify that as a major PITA. Someday someone will invent a simpler solution (and make a lot of money).
Maybe at first if you're a newbie but after you've done it for a while it's pretty easy (assuming you have an electric tongue jack). And in the overall scheme of setting up and breaking camp, it's relatively minor. Curious - can you post a link to the vid?
The part I hate most is getting on my hands and knees to hook up the sewer hose and pull the valve handles because the TT manufacturer conveniently put them under the slide out. Same with the chock on that side if we ran the slide out first.
Here's a link to the video I saw. He has to crank it down, then crank it up, then crank it down, then maybe you're through (plus hooking up the chains, which doesn't look too easy itself).
