Give Hayman Reese a call, or send them an email. As the manufaturer they tend to be more of a subject matter expert. You'll need to know your van's GVM and/or towball weight.

I am towing a 18 ft full van with Hayman Reese Bar and Hitch it is a 550KG but all depends on your Ball Weight.Sounds like you need the same.

It is a good idea to fit WDH. You will have around 200kg pushing down on the ball. This will take off some where in the vicinity of 100kg from your front wheels (in addition to what you remove by loading behind the rear wheels.). This will take a lot away from your braking (80% of which comes from your front wheels) and steering. The WDH restores that weight and so increases the stability of your rig.

I have been towing a 18' caravan with an 80 series for the past eight years. I do not have a HR hitch just a Toyota tow bar fitted with a mini hitch. Works fine. 80 series are heavy enough not to have all that gismo stuff
