I agree with you. I am not sure how this can work as a WDH (I have no opinion on its anti-sway function).

There is a video on their website that includes this sketch...it makes me even more dubious. As you say, without an enormous tension load on the chains....

My Reese is heavy, but durable and effective. It has no anti-sway capabilities, but I have not missed that - it is apparently unnecessary with our set-up.
