General Towing Discussions / Re: Another WD question

Quote from: Rex on September 21, 2020, 05:07:48 PMEnter the 16BHB, while looking at it, the owner said that we could not run a WD because of the aluminum frame. Another friend with an aluminum car hauler has said the same thing.

Do these light trailers just want to swing back and forth more? So far my experience is only the few mile tow home at city street speeds.

When I had my 2012 16BHB I did not use a WDH when towing with 1/2 ton pickups. On that particular model, the hitch weight was under 400lbs when the camper was fully loaded (3800lbs) & with two full propane tanks & two 6V golf cart batteries on the tongue. If anything, the tongue was a bit light.

That model was very stable when towing in crosswinds. I suspect that the tandem axles and the distribution of weight over the axles made it more stable than normal.  My 16BHB was a dream to tow.

As others have said, try it without.
