I just joined the TM club. Took the plunge today and picked up a used 2011 2720, fully loaded (except leather). Question is regarding a (WDH) Weight Distribution Hitch.

My TV is a 2004 GMC Yukon 5.3l with factory tow package (max TC=7500#)
Hitch can go weight carrying or weight distribution and says:
maximum weight carrying = 5000
maximum tongue weight = 600
Little more than double those numbers for weight distribution.

When I hitched it up at the seller's house today, I had no visible bowing at the hitch, looked nearly flat. No dip down at the front of the trailer and no dip up at the front of the TV. It pulled great 50 miles home.

Do I need a WDH or does that more depend on how much I load the tralier and the tow vehicle?

The TM2720 has a dry wt = 2732
Load capacity = 1333
Tongue wt = 350

Thank you in advance for your reply.
