Having been a campground host for the past 3 years I have seen many combinations of TV towing travel trailers. Some are quite capable, others, not so much. I have seen overloaded pickup trucks and many mid-size SUVs attempting to pull much more than manufacturer recommended gross weights.
I was one of those with a TT the TV could not quite handle (I have since upgraded to a TV that has more capacity than I currently need to I have room to "grow"). That TV has the integrated brake controller and automatic sway controls along with a WDH.
I would like to tell those who attempt to pull one of those "1/2 ton towable" travel trailers that rather invest thousands of dollars into a mid-size SUV to make the jump to a pickup that is much more capable of towing their RV.
