IMO...yes. Along with sway control. Research all you WD with sway control options. Many out there that do a very good job. We have a Hensley and love it. With that hitch I have to remind myself the TT is back there!

The same question was asked by another member with a smaller RV in this thread: http://www.keystonerv.org/forums/showthread.php?t=20335
You might want to do some reading on which hitches and which sway control are best suited for your rig, but to answer your question: "Do I need a weight distribution hitch for this rig?" The answer is "absolutely".

I think the bigger question is " do I have enough tow vehicle?" I would say you need to upgrade to the full eight reindeer version.

Is the plan to fit that down the chimney? Looks good. As long as you have plenty of magic feed you should be good.

Either that or replace the rain deer with a couple of rams.

I agree with above ... perhaps a few more reindeer and from looking at the location of the hitch ... maybe some Preparation-H for good 'ol Santa. 
Great pic ..... A Merry and a Happy right back at ya. .... Come on folks .. lighten up .... Tis the season! I hope he is using a TH this year. When he gets to my list he is going to need it.

Santa is magical in every way. If he can get to all our houses on Christmas eve he sure doesn't need to mess with all kinds of hitches. He'll get the job done so forget about it and let him do his job.

Some of us takes things too serious sometimes!! LOL Now that I get the post, I think you need Buddy to help with the hitch.
