My first travel trailer

so I have purchased my first TT although I am no stranger to towing 10,000+ lb goosenecks I have never towed a camper and I don't know if I need a WD hitch.
My truck is 2010 chevy 2500hd crew cab long bed and TT is 28ft long weighing 6300lb empty. Do you guys think I need a WD hitch or will it be just fine on a regular hitch as long as the trailer sit close to level? I know this has probably been talked to death but I wanted to know you guys opinion on my exact truck and trailer thanks in advance

Yes, I agree - you need one.

Goosenecks, like fifth wheels, track better than a regular travel trailer. When we had a travel trailer, I used a WD hitch with built-in anti-sway. It really helped keep things more stable. It wasn't about the tongue weight.

yes, I use one for my TT. helps keep the weight on the front tires not just the rear axle, they also help with sway
