I'm ashamed to admit this, but when I showed up to buy our current TT I simply showed up with my truck and a hitch. No WDH. Nothing but a 2 5/16" ball. Pulled it all the way home (over an hour) doing 70 MPH. I didn't know better. Fortunately for me, the thing pulled nice and straight and didn't sway once.
I appreciate everyone's input. I'll definitely make sure the new owner will at least be educated on what they should/shouldn't do.

I suggest having your camper "tow away ready" by including whatever hitch is needed for the prospective buyer to connect and tow it home.
Unless you have a specialty hitch that is very expensive...
Good luck!
As I mentioned, the hitch head IS the most expensive part of a WD.
The bars and brackets are the cheap part.
Price them yourself.
As for "tow away ready", that IS and SHOULD be up to the "buyer"..
WD is NOT a "requirement" for ALL trailer/tow vehicle combinations and it IS the buyer's responsibility to ensure they have sufficient tow capacity and hardware BEFORE ever entering into an agreement to purchase.
It is not the seller's responsibility, although I HAVE dissuaded folks who showed up to buy one of my TTs when they showed up with WAY TO LIGHT of a tow vehicle.. The one that ended up buying, showed up with a 3/4 ton truck instead of small SUVs, Rangers, ect like the rest did..
I as of yet have not ever been able to find any TT which I could simply hitch and go..
I have had to fix lights, brakes, supply a battery for the breakaway, replace breakaway switch and pump up tires before moving the trailers..

I sold one a few months ago. It had an older style WDH that I included with the sale as I didn't want to put it on anything new I bought. Turns out the new to me trailer I purchased had a more modern one that came with it. If you plan to buy used, a lot of the ones I looked at came with a hitch. A new WDH will set you back several hundred dollars, but I have seen good used ones go for less than a hundred.
