thanks for the info on WD hitches and LL hesitation to recommend... I spoke to Hensley today about their SwiftCub hitch and he stated that with the aluminum A-frame they recommend that instead of using self-drilling bolts you would substitute and additional u-bolt. I've not read anything on an Anderson hitch. You tow with an Anderson hitch, David? I'll check them out. My husband and I are sold on using WD and anti-sway style hitch... just to help off-set some of our newbie-nerves.

Camplite Travel Trailers / Finally! Our custom Camplite!
November 13, 2014, 10:49:05 AM
Hello, Leslie! Your custom 21BHS looks so great! I never would have thought to do plain aluminum on cabinets or the maple on the walls... very cool! I am curious to know what type of hitch you are using. My husband and I are looking at ordering the 21BHS and purchasing the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 ecoDiesel as our TV. We will be close to our tongue weight/payload and I'm trying to determine what hitch would work for us. Our payload is 1155 with a max tongue weight of 720 lbs. We'll have about 90 lbs of kids in lieu of fur babies 
We estimate about 500 lbs in the vehicle with adults/kids and the very few items we'd carry in the truck. That would leave us with 655 lbs for tongue weight if I'm understanding this all correctly. The ecoDiesel is rated to tow 7,200 (before factoring in extra weight in vehicle). Very curious to know what your tow experience is like.
We are first-timers and have fallen in love with Camp Lite. This forum has been so helpful while doing research. Thanks in advance for the info.
