Mike, the weight Trailmanor reports on it's website is rather deceptive. AFAIK, it does not include the required option package, nor any other options like AC, awning, etc.

They do however provide a dry weight and max GVW on the delivered trailer. Although I haven't yet seen my trailer, the dealer tells me that it's dry weight, as reported by TrailManor, is 3000# and the GVW is 4230#.

Thanks for the 19' ball height.

Jerry,
Thanks for the GAWR axle info. #3640 will definitely give me more room for adjustment. And thanks for the pdf. When I get my Elkmont I'll report here any info I find on the labels.

HarveyRV,
I've been using the Truck's max tongue weight (650#), max towing weight (6500#), GVWR (5450#) and max total vehicle + trailer weight (11,100#). Although truck's payload will decrease with increasing tongue weight, the max tongue weight of 650# seems like more than enough. The GAWR are 3109#R and 2754#F, but I'm not really sure how to evaluate those.
