I don't know that I have a "favorite". We ended up with the Fastway E2 simply because it was offered by the dealer that sold us our RP-179. It is sized appropriately for the truck/trailer combination.

LBS but I’m assuming that will increase as I load the camper and my total
weight is just under 4000 LBS. Is it okay to use a WDH rated for 600/6000? |
That's about right. If your Rpod is loaded to ~~ 4000 lbs, you can bet that your tongue weight is likely close to 400 lbs. Our E2 is the "600" model, and it was explained that you need one that is big enough, but not too big. Too big and things get too stiff. Too small, and it won't transfer weight properly.

WDH from the RV?

It's actually fairly easy. It only takes me a few minutes. It helps if you have a nice level spot when you hitch up. When the Rpod is on the pad in front of our garage, it's not level. So I just hook up the trailer w/o the WDH, and pull it about a 100' down our driveway where we have a nice level spot. I hook it up there, and it's pretty quick; maybe about 5-8 minutes.
