Probably not.

Again, probably not.

Some older Coleman-branded popups made by Fleetwood, where the door was AFT of
the axle, were particularly prone to sway.  I believe all of the new (and
newer) floorplans have the door AHEAD of the axle.  This encourages loading
the camper heavier in the front - which reduces any tendency to sway.

There are others, but all that I know of require disconnect before
backing.  It takes less than 20 seconds (including getting in & out of
the vehicle) to disconnect a friction sway control bar.  I could see
how that could be a problem for someone of limited mobility.
Otherwise, I'd have to wonder why that would be a problem.

With proper setup, meaning proper hitch height and trailer is level and
properly loaded you should not have sway problems.

If you do need a WD hitch and anti-sway one of the easiests is the
Equilizer brand hitch.  You can backup without disconnecting anything.

Thanks to all for your replies.

Clark,
I have been towing a Fleetwood/Coleman Destiny for years with just my class
2 hitch.  No problems at all just dropping it on the hitch ball, attaching
the safety devices, plugging in the electrics and going.  It tracks very
well on the interstates when level while being pulled by my Sienna.

Personally, I would check with the manual came with a truck.  GM is
usually pretty good about putting demands for what they need for trailing.

That said, my guess is that you probably won't need a weight
distribution hitch although  the anti-sway might not be too bad an
idea... and they generally come as a set... WD and AS.  Further, I see a
problem with anti-sway being effective at only 2500lbs. Seems to me
without the added axle weight that the distribution hitch would provide
you are more likely to drag the poor thing around a corner, sliding, if
you've got the sway bar tight enough to do any good while on the road.

That said, there are some restrictions also with regards to weight
distribution hitches and popup trailers of some makes and models so you
may want a check with the trailer manufacturers manual as well.

Frankly I don't see the meeting anything more than a friction type
anti-sway. When you're backing in you don't have to disconnect the
friction are just loosening up significantly works just fine. It's what
I've been doing.

Good luck.
