A WDH may or may not be needed depending on your tow vehicle's rating, your hitch's ratings, and your trailer tongue weight. It has everything to do with weights.
It has absolutely nothing to do with going up or down a mountain, rain, or being passed by large trucks.

As mentioned, only with accurate weights and ratings should anyone attempt to tell you what you need or don't need. I happen to choose more than adequate tow vehicles in order to eliminate the need for any WD hitches. Call me lazy, but "Drop the ball on the hitch and go" is my preference.

Our short list before buying a new trailer (2 weeks ago) were R-Pod, Airstream, Winnebago Micro Minnie and a Sonic. We finally settled on the Airstream, but we WOULD have used a WDH on any of the 4. Going up, or worse, down, a steep mountain grade in rain and high winds with semis blowing past is a nightmare of mine.

This depends entirely on info we dont have, like what tow vehicle you have and what the weight on the tongue is.
Also, don't believe sales people. They are the most ignorant people on earth when it comes to technical RV matters.
