Wanted to get vehicle specific info on this subject. I have a 2007 Jayco 19H TT that we will be taking on a 14 day road trip in June/July, and typically take quite a few trips per year (had a new daughter in December so our camping is slow right now). I have been towing it with my CM with Airlifts and a Toytec AAL without any sagging issues but have decided that the benefits in an emergency situation make the WDH worth purchasing. Trailer has a GVWR of 4550#, with a 15% TW that would give me around 683# TW without anything in the bed when fully loaded. I am looking at Camco WDH's with 800# bars and 1000# bars. The 1000# bars are about $40 less and have more wiggle room, but are they too much for this setup? Can I jump up to the 1000# bars or stick with the 800# bars?

Thanks guys! I went ahead and ordered the 1000# setup. Are they hard to setup on the trailer the first time? I've never actually set it up on a trailer that didn't already have a WDH.

Headed to Sierra Expeditions now to have it installed. Looks super easy, but those are some big ass bolts and crazy TQ specs for them. I will let the pros handle that.

Amazon sent the wrong one so it is going back. After speaking with a buddy of mine that drives a semi for a living I may go without the WDH as originally planned. I am at 42/42 in the front and 42.5/42.5 in the rear with 30psi and no trailer. 42/42 in the front and 41.75/41.75 in the rear with trailer. The front not changing means that little to no weight is being removed from the front axle when the trailer is added, and the small amount of sagging can be fixed with more air pressure if needed.

You are correct. Note that I figured quite high for the TW, true TW is likely under 450# as my trailer keeps a true 10% of GVWR due to axle position (unloaded rates are 3800/383 according to Jayco). I doubt greatly that the tongue weight ever gets as high as the 15% I listed as a CYA (cover your ass) number, and the true number for the Tundra receiver is also likely much higher than 500# in the manual. My dual battery setup has also been relocated off the tongue saving quite a bit of weight off that position. I plan on making a trip to a rock yard and get an accurate number shortly.

I have dual friction sways already installed.

I bought the Camco WDH on Amazon for 200 shipped. Sent it back and likely will go with a trunion style so I don't lose so much ground clearance, and most likely get 600 or 800# bars vs the 1000# I previously bought.
