I think the OP is better off looking for a good sized tent trailer with his current setup.

Why do you think your vehicle needs to have a frame for a WD hitch? I've never heard of that and I've been towing my tent trailer with my minivan and a WD hitch for four years.
A WD hitch distributes the weight to all trailer and towing vehicle axles, increases braking and steering capability, and reduces sway from crosswinds.
Why you and old-fart keep telling us it doesn't make a bad situation better is baffling.
