Gvwr of my 2108TB is 5500 and tongue weight is 435 pounds my tow vehicle has a GVWR of 5000 pounds with a tongue weight of 500 pounds
The Anderson WDH is good for sway control, but it doesn't control weight distribution as well as other WDHs.
you should be towing with a different tow vehicle. It appears your inches from the ground and asking for trouble. I don't know any VW that can tow anything.
Good Luck
I have a 2021 2108ds, but I think all 2021 2108’s have a hitch weight of 400lbs. I use a husky centerline, which works great for sway and weight distribution. My only complaint about my hitch is that it is quite noisy in slow speed turns. Whatever hitch you get, make sure when installing hitch ball, your tow vehicle is carrying the same amount of weight as you would normally carry when camping. I made the mistake of not doing this, and had to go buy big wrenches to change the ball height.Hi everyone just got my first travel trailer, will be picking it up this Saturday.

The primary issue I see is that the only "give" in the system is the elastomers on the ends of the chains. It has the potential to be an extremely rigid connection between the vehicles. Typical spring bars have a fair amount of vertical "give" as the bars flex (unless you buy the wrong bars).
a Volvo XC90 with factory air suspension, I really like it, it has been reliable and economical and it’s pretty luxurious. This is my first luxury vehicle I got it for my retirement and I did a factory delivery so we picked it up in Sweden drove it around for a month in Europe, went to eight countries and Volvo brought it back to the states. When I do change it because I will maybe in A year or two I believe I’m going to buy a Land Rover defender 110. That has a 8000 pound tow rating or maybe the new Grenadier.
