When do you actually need a WDH?
I normally pull my 5'r and that's what I'm set up for. Now, our friend has a Trail-Lite TT I move for her now and then in and out of storage at the campground. She does not have a TV at this time. ...

My last Travel Trailer was a 19 footer. I have no idea what it weighed, nor do I know the tongue weight.
I had three tow vehicles at that time; a Ford E150 club Wagon, a Dodge W200 Powerwagon, and a Jeep Wagoneer.
I did not use a WD hitch on the Ford or the Dodge, there was no need for it.
The Jeep, however, absolutely HAD to have a WD hitch to keep the back bumper off the ground! The rear springs of that thing simply could not hold the tongue weight of the trailer. With a WD hitch, though, it towed the trailer nicely.
This was long ago, when WD hitches were specifically used to keep the tow vehicle level so the headlights didn't blind oncoming drivers, and "sway control" was unheard of, and there was no RV.net!
