Do I really need anything other than a basic hitch set-up?

TrailManor says otherwise on http://trailmanor.com/WebDocs/Misc/Info&FAQ/FAQ.htm
"We recommend using a Class 3 hitch with load equalizing bars for most vehicles (not necessary on heavy trucks). The load equalizing bars transfer weight to balance the load between the front and rear wheels, which is necessary to level the vehicle and keep proper front end alignment on the tow vehicle. Your TrailManor dealer can recommend the proper hitch for your specific tow vehicle."

I have read on this forum that the sway control could mask loading problems.
