help me decide on a new WDH
Hi all, my previous post was whether or not to buy a new WDH and after this past weekend my decision is set. I'm gonna buy a new one. I have a big trip coming up in August and I don't want the issues ...

Ok it shows the equalizer in 10,000, 12,000 and 14,000lb models. My trailer's dry hitch weight is 695lbs. The price difference between the 10k and 12k is only $30 but the jump up to the 14k is another $70 on top of the $30. In my situation it seems overkill for all 3 but will probably get the 12k because of the price value and potential to maybe go 32 ft TT in the future. Agreed?
Size the spring bars to the load you have NOW.
What is the GVWR of your TT? Take that and figure 15% for TW. Buy the hitch that most closely matches the result.
Caveat: Some run heavier bars than that formula.. Usually They are compensating for their TVs weak suspension. This approach has some merit, but does not apply in your case.
I don't have suspension issues as you guessed. My only thoughts were that eventually I'm either going 5th wheel on the next camper or with a TT in the 8500lb ballpark. I won't want to upgrade WDH then if I could have spent $30 more now.
