Very nice TH, you got now. I've done a few rentals in the past with that exact TH. Very similar to my fsw3200.
Make no mistake about it, If its like most WW of that type/era, very heavy TW and gvwr, no where near advertised TW.
Is it 13,000gvw ?

^Very good advise!
WW's spec'd weights were garbage. My actual empty weight was aver 11,000 pounds. My completely dry tongue weight was 1,800 pounds. If I had full tanks, and no vehicles in the back, it was 3,200 pounds! Granted, mine was an FSW 3200+2, and they added every inch of the 2 extra feet in front of the axles. Great for stability, and I'd take that any day over some of these new haulers with the axles in the middle (I'm looking at you Evergreen RV:M)
Anyways, first trip out tore apart my Hensley hitch. Pretty much ripped apart every weld. I had much better luck with a Reese Dual Cam hitch (although, I did break one of those too, but that failure was much less spectacular).
At the time, the heaviest receiver available for my van was only rated for 1,700 tongue weight, so I had to modify it (with P.E. approval of the design and fabrication work). Now, there's much better off-the-shelf receivers available. Just be sure the one you install will cut it!
