Thanks everybody. This forum is a great place to learn about our new TrailManor Elkmont. In fact one of the reasons we purchased the Elkmont over other lightweights was because this forum existed.

I think we will go with a 750-800# WDH after all. What Jerry said about GAWR makes a lot of sense to me, and adds another 160# safety factor. The WDH's are vertically adjustable by the few inches I need (my receiver is at 21", the Elkmont is probably 19") and the arms can be removed for towing my other, smaller trailers.

I'm also want to find a scale to weigh everything I possibly can on the loaded trailer and truck.

I'll report back when we actually get the trailer. Right now, there's just too much snow (and salt) around where we live in Ontario to bring it up from Texas.

EDIT
Factory just told me that for the last few years all new Trailmanors have been raised to support the 15" wheels. That means a 20-21" hitch height.
