Absolutely nothing.

You running bags/Sumi-springs?

Neither. Our WDH seems like it does what we need.

So I cut down a tree today and towed it off. Now I have a diesel so I was concerned about it throwing a check engine light, catching on fire and burning too much def fluid. I was over weight, frontal area of the trailer was too much and my tire didn’t have enough load range rating so I avoided the main roads and went back roads to avoid the fuzz. oh the rain would cooperate either but it took it like a champ.

I tow a ~2800 lb. Lance 1675 travel trailer with a gas JTR on 37"s. Have not re-geared yet... but it doesn't seem to mind pulling it up steep mountain passes. I will say the weight distribution hitch negates the need for helper springs, airbags, etc. Truck stays nicely level and is stable. I also installed the Mopar trailer brake controller and it works well for this application.

How does the glady tow the casita? Are you using a WDH and what mileage are you getting? We pick up our casita in Feb.

Here is my towing setup:

The most that I tow is around 3200 pounds (GVWR is 3750 pounds), so it really doesn't need a weight distribution hitch (if you want to use one, it will indeed distribute the load better). I am however, this weekend, going to install a set of firestone airbags... It needs a little sag boost both when overlanding and when towing.

It tows very well, the jeep struggles a bit in the mountains but is acceptable. 10mpg in the montains 12 to 13 flat and level.

I use the Mopar brake controller that goes in the 12V auxiliary slot. (For my Casita around 3 seems to work best)

I will grab another pic of the jack, I moved it back about 6 inches so the tailgate will open.

This is the one I used (I modified it slightly): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08ZT2G7B5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Ps. You will love the Casita!!!

I was pulling trailers around on Texas FtM roads when I was 13. I have literally been towing for 50 years, While I am happy too listen to the opinions of the towing police, they are just that, opinions. A surprising number of their opinions are just completely wrong...

We all know what is said about opinions... Opinions are like assholes. Everybody has one and they all stink.

Thnaks for the reply. We ordered the Anderson WDH/sway control from casita. We are patiently waiting for ours to be ready. We ordered it in March of this year and was told 11 months. I will be installing the redarc or curt bluetooth controller at some point. A lot of our camping is done in the colorado area, so mountain towing but used to it. Thanks again, Joel

You will be happy with the Anderson.
