3023 and 03 Ford Escape wih Class II hitch WDH or not?

Hello,
I just bought a 95' 3023 and brought it home on 3 hr drive with my Ford Escape (V-6, Factory two package). It towed great compared to my boat. The vehicle rides nice and level, should I get a WDH or not? Will a class II hitch transfer the weight to the frame properly? We are driving from NY to CA with it, a one time deal, we are shipping it to Hawaii to live in while we work in some impoverished areas. So after this few month journey it won't be traveling very far.
