Just wanted to give an update, I made it to Oklahoma safe and sound. It took us five long days of 15 hour driving. We had a few issues, my trailer brakes were not working 100% and we tried to get them fixed twice and I highly recommend fireweed RV in whitehorse they were great. Also we broke a leaf spring in casper Wyoming. Luckily it broke there in town and not in the AlCan. We replaced both back ones. It turns out they both had already broke off one of the springs each side before I bought it but I didn't see it. The one that broke on me was the big long one on driver side. We found a guy who was able to replace both springs and get parts in two hours.
The equalizer hitch I bought worked great and we had no sway at all and were in windy conditions at times. Truck and trailer did pretty good under some grueling conditions.

I will probably draw a lot of criticism with these comments, but so be it.
Seems to me that you are in a do what you gotta do scenario. Go ahead and get the curt wdh. It is not one of the expensive models but it will function just fine. Get an added antisway device. If your truck does not already have them put on LT tires.
You will almost certainly exceed one or more parameters,but as long as they are not grossly exceeded you should be ok.
Just don't make it a race, operate sensibly and you should be ok

One more question, another friend suggested I beef up my rear end, I informed him I do that everyday but he told me he meant my truck. He suggested I add additional leaf springs. Is that necessary with a wdh? A good idea in addition to?
Thanks,
