Wow!
You would not believe the **** I took on another forum when I asked about the need for a WDH.
I was going to kill all their children basically.
I figured the same, within all specs, about 85% capacity on the worst spec. So when I said I was going to drive my new TT home from the dealer without a WDH, the S hit the fan. I’m a killer on the road, to quote Jim Morrison and the bulk of the replying posters!
I did get a great deal on a used WDH from the dealer but otherwise I would have done my test first.
Yes, I would believe it. There are so many ignorant people out there when it comes to mass and simple machines, it can be frightening. I, too, was going to kill everybody on the road when I pulled our camper with a (gasp) Nissan Frontier.
However, I will always have some type of sway control, especially for emergencies.
Were you squirmin’ like a toad? (Sorry, couldn’t resist)
Hahaha...yup there's alot of'um that think you need twice the towing capacity to tow safely...it's hilarious. We've been looking at a 28 foot TT to tow behind Red with a Harley dresser in the bed. Red hauls a 4,500lb TC on her back most of the time, so the 1,000lb Harley along with the 1,000lb hitch weight would give her a break.
