I think you'll want a WDH. Their disclaimer can't be to protect the rear axle because the WDH will move weight from there forward and back. they must think someone will use 1,200lb load bars with 300 lbs of tongue weight and crush the Ridge's car-like front suspension or lighten the load on the rear wheels to the point that they don't maintain good road contact- inviting jack-knifing.

I've been reading a little about the Ridge and it has a ladder frame added to the Odyssey-like unit/body frame and should handle a WDH much better than the Ody. They didn't restrict people from using WDH's with the Ody when we had one.
