Since purchasing the TM late last fall, I have towed it about 500+ miles without a WDH. Tows great with no complaints. However after reading some of the posts in this forum, it sounds like if you have a 3124 no matter what the TV you need a WDH.
I have a bumper drop of 1.5" on the rear and rise of 1.75 in the front when hitched fully loaded.
Thoughts or suggestions?

Driller,
The "real world" weight of the tongue on your 3124KS is 600 lbs., plus or minus depending upon how full your propane tanks are. I would not want my hitch to be right at the limit. Try to imagine what a "hitch failure" might look like
. Also, your 1.75 rise in the front could very easily be a handling problem in the event of any emergency steering situations. Your TM will have either the Dexter 5,200 lb. or 6,000 lb. axle, so there's none of the worries that Padgett has about moving weight to the TM axle. I would seriously recommend a WDH.
