Right you are, Jim.

I think you will be pleased at how the TM tows sway-free. It is nothing like a slab-side trailer.

It occurred to me that if you use a solid bar hitch (which is where I would start if I were in your situation), you will probably need several inches of drop in order to get the TM to tow level. Fortunately, solid-bar hitches are cheap - buy Reese at Walmart, for example - so if you later decide that you want to add a WDH with sway control, you have not wasted much.

Also a reminder. If you decide to go with sway control, do not use a friction device, such as the Reese unit or others. You might want to take a look at the hitch tutorials in the TM Technical Library, aka TM Info You Won't Find Anywhere Else. Rocky Mountain Ray wrote some nice stuff on the topic.
