load equalizer hitch needed with a dually?

Dunno if I got this on the right forum (Wayne, move it if you need to, my apologies)
I was shopping for a new travel trailer today, finally found one I can afford... it's a 27 foot TT GVWR about 7500, the saleslady said I ought to buy the equalizer hitch with it, and the trailer brakes. Hitch was a DrawTite priced at 395.00. No idea if that's a good price or not... My question is, do I need it? I thought having a dually would pretty much keep me from getting jerked all over the road from trailer sway. I wouldn't know, I've never pulled anything except a bass boat, or a Bobcat on a LowBoy trailer, no sway there...
