We used a Reese WDH with 800 lb. bars with our Trailmanor. Someone on this thread had tried the 600 lb. bars, and it didn't give the lift needed. The 1000 or 1200 lb. bars are probably overkill, and will probably make your TV ride really stiff in back. With heavier bars, you are also putting undue stress on the hitch and tires when going through a dip.

With my current trailer (700 lb. tongue weight) I initially got 800 lb. bars but didn't get the lift I wanted. I bought 1200 lb. bars, and my truck rode really stiff, and I didn't like stressing everything when going through dips like entering and exiting gas stations. I went back to the 800 lb. bars after readjusting my hitch, but they seem to be at the maximum for a 700 lb. tongue weight. With the 500 lb. or so tonque weight of a Trailmanor, 800 lb. bars should do great.
