You wouldn't necessarily even need a WDH with that combination. A 3500 will usually ride a lot better with a thousand or 2 pounds of tongue weight.

Since the OP is planning to get the WDH anyway, buy it, install what you can before you depart and then plan on a couple hours to hook it up the rest and dial it in when you go to pick it up.
