so far no need even had moderate crosswinds on our last trip, it towed like a dream

I do not know but have been told no need for a WD hitch on a motorhome ??? any advice

Debates on both sides of the fence here. I know many who do not use a weight distributing hitch and a lot that do. Personally, I run one and have all all three of my coaches as it definately spreads the load out. With a tag axle coach it is even less necessary than a single axle coach but I still feel a benefit from it.

T&E Race trailers when I was looking several years ago, recommended a WD setup on tandem axle trailers and said they were less necessary on triple axle trailers. That makes perfect sense. Monaco on the other hand said they will definately help but on a tag axle coach it is neglible and probably not worth spending the money on.

There are a couple of aluminum trailer manufacturers that specifically state DO NOT use WD hitches but that is due to trailer issues not coach issues. There are also a few threads on various RV forums showing some aluminum trailer tongue failures due to the forces exerted on the tongue when a WD hitch is utilized.

For a single rear axle coach that is already on the verge of being overloaded I would recomment a product called Trailer Toad. There is also another one similar in theory but a different design called Tuff Tow. It supports the actual tongue weight and does not impose that weight onto the rear of the coach. We see them used quite a lot among the race crowds.
