Weight distribution hitch
Hi all I am thinking on putting my 5th wheel on a permanent summer site and getting a small TT to still be able to travel some. I’m thinking on a 18-21 foot rig. I will tow it with my 3/4tn Ram dies...

I’m thinking on a 18-21 foot rig. I will tow it with my 3/4tn Ram diesel. Do I want/need a weight distribution hitch?
Also other than the gross wt advantage do I want single or double axel?
Thanks for any information as I have only towed a 5th wheel

For a trailer that size, I'd want a dual axle. I'm not sure I've ever seen something 18+ feet long that was only single axle.
WD Hitch - yes.
My experience: I've done 4 trips so far this year with my 3500HD dually towing a Nash 17k. I hadn't reinstalled the torsion bar clips after winter projects, so 3 of the 4 trips were without the WD Hitch. The ride was somewhat annoying, so last weekend I reinstalled them and used the WD Hitch. The ride was much better. All 4 trips were the same route.
