The fresh tank is in the front storage (25 gal). That would mean I have a net 50 gals at the rear of the trailer (~400 lbs) and that would put my hitch weight at 350 lbs.
So, have them adjust the WDH with only the amount of fresh water you plan to travel with. Even then, without all of your gear loaded, the WDH might need to be tweaked after you load the trailer.
When you get the trailer, come back and let us know and we can help get it set up just right.
And you won't have any trouble with this trailer in all driving conditions (hills / altitude). Good for you for asking and analyzing before you buy. Works a lot better that way.

Thanx very much for all the help, you guys ROCK!
Believe me when I tell you that I'll not only make sure that they set it all up properly for me, I'm going to insist on watching so I can ask questions and take written notes. Then I'll type it all out, print it and laminate it so I have a handy little guide to take with me. This way, I'll know how each aspect of the WDH/sway-bar/brake controller works in conjuction with the other for the smoothest possible tow and I'll have some reference material with me in case something gets knocked out of whack. Heck, I'll probably do the "notes" thing with as much as possible with this trailer and throw together binder so there's no guessing if I have any issues along the way.
We're probably going to order the trailer on Saturday.
Thanks again, guys.
