There is something you can do about it. The Andersen No Sway hitch does not have the heavy bars for example, and many tow vehicle/trailer combinations do not require WD hitches at all. A F=150 and a Casita? A 2500HD and about any trailer up to 10,000 pounds. My point? Look at a smaller lighter trailer or a more capable tow vehicle before giving up the joy of travel trailering.
It's a joy to me, but a total schreck to my husband.
We have an F-150 and an UltraLite trailer, not a Casita. The sway bar is a piece of cake - I can have it installed in about 15 seconds. It's the WD bars that are a problem; the nature of my husband's injury is such that he can't handle heavy weights any more, and having to lift them while ensuring, blind, that they are inserted correctly is becoming very hard for him. There is no chance that he'll risk not using them.
So as much as all these suggestions are appreciated, the die is cast - the trailer goes. For the kind of travel we do, he's convinced that we can do it more easily in the car.
