[QUOTE=Beachcamper;855096]Obviously this is overkill but I also tow a large fifth wheel which we fulltime in. I am considering a
Casita to have as a second RV to go to places like smaller parks where getting a site for anything over 30’ is difficult.
So I am wondering if I need a sway control device? What about a WDH? Currently have a receiver on my hitch that is good for 750lbs (it’s for my kayak trailer). I have never towed a pull behind trailer other than a boat or kayak trailer. Please excuse my ignorance but can’t find any advice on towing a small
fiberglass trailer with a one ton truck.
Truck is a long bed SRW diesel and weighs 8225 with a GVWR of 11,300 lbs
Thanks in advance,

For your vehicle, a
weight distribution hitch would be big time. Overkill, cannot imagine a situation that you would need it. I tow with an F-150 half ton and don't use one either, so you're way good to go without that. The Kurt or other types of sway bar options are very simple to put on and honestly I think they're more insurance than anything for someone with a good size, vehicle or truck, I do have one on mine. I don't know that I've ever needed it, but that's kind of the point is I'd rather not know and it just do its job for such a simple installation and cheap price.
