I own a 2019 Subaru Outback Limited with a 3.6R engine.

Regardless of what a 2" Class III hitch claims to support (ex. 4000lbs; 600lbs tongue), the car is rated to towing a 2700lbs trailer (with trailer brakes) with a 200lbs tongue weight max. Every hitch I've seen manufactured specifically for this vehicle says not to use a WDH.

The total max cargo (Passengers, cargo, roof rack, tongue weight, etc.) is about 900lbs. Subtract a 200lbs tongue weight and one is left with 700lbs of payload. With 2 adults and a couple of kids plus gear, the car will be maxed out quick.

The Subaru Outback is made to tow small trailers at best (ATV, small boat, bike rack, etc.). It may pull a small 1-2 person ultra-lightweight camper. But not a Trailmanor. Sorry, folks.

Now the new "Wilderness" Subaru Outback is a slightly different story. That model increases towing capacity to 3500lbs and a 350lbs tongue weight. Still not enough, in my opinion, to tow a Trailmanor. But it's a welcome improvement.
