Suggest you NOT "try it". Just takes 1 oops and you're in deep stuff. A semi passing, a gust of wind, a panic stop.....then you'll be glad you have it. You may go through your RV life and not have any of these happen, OTOH..... Our HTT had an Equalizer and it did a fine job, albeit noisy and greasy. When we moved to our TT we changed to the Blue Ox 1000 and it's wonderful...quiet, clean, easy to hitch and the bars and lightweight enough for me to lift, which I couldn't with the Eq. For about a $500+ set up, it's pretty cheap insurance for your family and the rest of us. Make the investment.
