I am biased, but believe almost every travel trailer should utilize a WDH. If the back end sinks an inch, the headlights will point into the eyes of oncoming drivers. Plus, you lose traction with the front tires, which are important for steering and braking.

Many types to choose from. I found mine by going to a local trailer dealer, and, while asking if they had any used WDH, a guy was picking up a larger trailer, and said he had a lighter-duty WDH he would sell me. Dealer had no problem with that, so I got mine for a good price. Point is, you may go to a few small dealers, and leave your name with them. If someone wants to "trade-in", or just get rid of one, they can call you. Granted, you don't have lots of time, but maybe Craig'sList in your town, and where you are picking-up the trailer.

I would not tow it home without a WDH, but that is me. They add a level of safety, and are not expensive "insurance".
