Trailer towing question: WD or sway control hitch?

[Colorado Osprey]

... the chain style WD hitches are a pain, require add on's for sway control and must often be disconnected when backing.

Trying to figure out where this rumor started(Common in the industry and internet)... If you can tow forward in a turn you can back with any WD set up including chains.

Sorry, I've been in the trailer, towing industry for over 20 years and I get sick of that rumor. Never seen one that needed to be disconnected.

Fair enough. Some manufacturers recommend it.

I agree, some sway controls will need to removed before backing up but not the WD hitch as stated above.
