Default I'm Convinced

OK, I'm sold on getting a WD hitch. Is it critical that I have it when I pick up the TM? The trailer will be empty and we will be pulling it about 150 miles back to home. I was hoping to get it this weekend, assuming delivery of an ordered brake controller. If the WD hitch is critical, I had best spend tomorrow trying to find one here in town. Can I rely on one from U-Haul or Draw-Tite, or should I look for an Equalizer?

Would we be OK pulling the trailer home w/o a WDH and driving relatively slowly, say 60 mph. Once home, I would certainly obtain a WDH prior to any camping trips.

I am a little concerned about comments concerning the crossing of mountain passes. We are accustomed to crossing all paved Colorado passes and would hate to be restricted to the easiest ones just because we are pulling our TM. Surely a properly set up rig can handle Wolf Creek and Independence.

Sorry if I offended with the term "Freaks". I am using it in the sense of being highly enthusiastic.
