GVWR of our 24' Elkmont is 4230#.
GAWR is 3616#.
The factory specified dry weight, is pretty much useless. We tend to run 3700-4000# GVW and, with the WDH, 3200-3500# GAW. WithOUT the WDH, I usually have about 620# on the tongue.
The Swagman bike rack we purchased (see earlier post) comes with a 2" to 1.25" adapter so we're good there.
We're picking up the Hidden Hitch today and hope to get it on this week.
One more thing:
Because of the distance between the Elkmont's frame runners (54" outer), we had to go with the wider (upto 72") Hidden Hitch. As a result, the hitch's nominal tongue weight capacity dropped from 500# (for the 51" wide Curt hitch) to 350#. But since I'll not be using the full 72" width, just 54" of it, I suspect the tongue weight capacity of the mounted hitch will be closer to 500#.
And my bike rack and 2 bikes weigh about 100#. So I'm really not worried about this thing ripping off.
