It depends on how you load the trailer, of course, but TrailManors tend to have 400 to 600 pound hitch weights. A 500# hitch weight will put more than 700# on the rear axle (it takes 200+ pounds off of the front axle). The Weight Distributing Hitch, helpful for all and mandatory for most of us, solves both problems.

Most installations provide heavier hitch weight ratings when you use a Weight Distributing Hitch, as well.
