weight distributon/sway hitch?
Think I found the unit we want to purchase. It is a 29ft 7000 lb (dry) and the previous owner (yes, pre-owned gently)unit did not use or have on the rig a weight distribution hitch/sway. I have one ...

Depends to a point on where you plan to go,speed and driving style. If a lot of towing on hilly roads with many twists and turns and at the upper speed "limit" of ST tires, you want a good WDH setup.
I just towed our TT on a stretch of road (hwy 299 in Ca for those that know it) that has LOTS of twists and turns, bumpy sections, frequent speed changes, and a few tight hairpin turns thrown in too. Our Reese DC WDH was totally awesome. I've fiddled with it all season and finally have it working really well. I am not affected by passing trucks on a freeway and can drive with one hand on the wheel if I wanted to (I don't at speed) it's that stable.
One good feature of it, and it's the only WDH I know of like it, is that it has a self-centering action because of the cams and that's why I chose it. It wants to keep the TV and TT in a straight line. I have driven a friends truck with a similar sized TT but the have a standard WDH with a friction type sway bar. I found the Reese DC to be much better at controlling sway.
If you have additional discretionary funds to play with, I would go with one of the high-end setups.
