My advice is to understand your tongue weight. The TM axle is set back farther, distance from the hitch, than most TT. TM has a heavy hitch weight. You'll need to know the Tow Vehicle (TV) hitch weight capacity with the proper class hitch.
Ex: if your TV hitch capacity is 400lbs and the TM tongue weight is 400lbs. You are at capacity and towing unsafe. Add a WDH to increase the capacity, spreading the weight towards the front axle and back to the trailer and you've got a better tow system.
I'm sure others here can explain it better than I.
