I tow with a Chevy Silverado , a 2015 178, I use a single sway attachment, no WDH, no issues. I'm not convinced I need the sway, but I feel better. I had a bad experience when I first bought camper. I didn't know the empty TT had a full aft FW tank, and it did sway. Once I knew it and corrected for it, I made it home, after that I added a sway bar, and I don't tow with a full fresh water tank, plus I do know my tongue weight. BTW -you are at 40% of your tow capacity, you're good.

We bought a 176 and we are trying to figure out if we need sway bars for our new camper. Our pulling vehicle is a Chevrolet Silverado 1500 crew cab with a standard wheel base. 10000lb towing capacity. We like to go from Alabama to the Rocky Mountains. We like to tow in very high altitude.

If so, what would your recommend?
