Honestly if I had even the slightest intentions of towing any significant weight at all, it would be a no-brainer decision for me ...I would get the superhitch and not look back. But seeing that I don't even know if I will muster the guts to tow anything behind the already very large and heavy TC I will wait on spending the money for a hitch I might not use.

There are light duty less expensive options available for you if you don't plan to change how much you will tow. If you do end up upgrading to the SuperHitch later, your replacement cost will be for the receiver, rear tie downs and extension. It is overkill for your current application, but it opens up more possibilities later without having to buy equipment again.

Bedlam...Thanks so much, your counsel is spot on, and if I thought I would ever want to tow much weight I would do exactly as you suggest and spend the additional money up front and be set up for life. But I really can't see us ever wanting to go heavier. I actually didn't want a TC as large as I did get, but when I found it I couldn't turn the price down. We do have a 40' 5th wheel that works when we want more space...I wanted the TC specifically for being smaller :) and being able to drive and travel more like a travel van.

We started our RV life with a 45' class A ...wonderful but just too costly and too many times it was too big for us. Then went to the 5th wheel we currently have....great for sitting still at a camper ground. So then we purchased a Sprinter cargo van that I converted into a class B...that was great for travel purposes but it was unused too much so I sold it. Seeing I had the dually truck for work purposes I figured why not try a TC. We are hoping this works to compliment the large 5th wheel.

Problem with RV'ing...too many options and hard to know what you like and dislike until you try out all options :) ...but then you're broke and too old to even care what you are in.
