When is weight distribution needed?
I'm not trying to stir the pot (well, ok - maybe a little) but my question is serious... In the old days the hitches/trucks required WD and Sway control for over 5k lbs... then we went to 2.5" hitch...

I'll second that thought. I pulled my 7K# travel both ways with my GMC 3500, and the difference was definitely noticeable. The drive was much better with my Equal-i-zer with four point sway control.
I really didn't need it either according to the book, but the effect was to reduce lateral movement on a rough winding road (paved) and also to greatly reduce "porpoising" after going through frost heaves.
I no longer have a travel trailer, but if I did, I wouldn't leave home without it.
