I haven't read through all of the posts yet but if I were in your position I would either look for someone you knew or hire a transporter to take it to your house and get someone to help you set it there. I use camping world to get things now and then but would never depend on them as far as trailers or service goes. Good luck all the same.

I know nothing about installing the P3 hitch but can’t you get someone like these guys: http://www.hitchwarehouse.com/store/ to install it either at their shop or your place? As mentioned all you need is a drawbar w/ 2 5/16” ball on your tv to pick up the trailer. If CW says you need a proper WDH to pick up the trailer tell them to pound sand, you bought and paid for it and can haul it any way you wish.

I would not tow that TT without a WDH unless you have a 3/4 ton or bigger truck. According to GD's specs the UVW is 5725 lbs and the tongue weight is 505 lbs. Thats about 8.8%. Way way low. It will be swaying badly if you get in the wrong situation.
If the propane tanks are full and a battery is added then you'll be right near the 10% minimum TW.
You'll also need a big torque wrench for some of the bolts.
Good luck.

There is no way I'm towing without a WDH! The max tongue weight indicated by my TV manufacturer for towing without a WDH would probably be over the limit, even with an empty trailer. So that's not something I'm personally comfortable with. But YMMV...
I have found a technician on the ProPride website who is close to the RV store. So I'll try and get him to come out the store and we'll fit it there.
Thanks all!

I have bought a total of 2 campers from a very reputable, knowledgeable dealer who I trust. Both times, they set up the hitch per the manufacturer's instructions and the empty, dry camper pulled perfectly on the way home. When we put all our "stuff" in the camper, it was a different story as I had headlights pointing at the moon and I adjusted the hitch to the loaded camper.
All that to say, when a dealer sets up your hitch on a new trailer, don't expect those settings to be correct after you load the camper.
My dealer showed me the hitches he carried and I selected the Equalizer 4 point. (10k for the first camper and 14K for the current camper) I have been very pleased with the performance of both hitches, especially after I discovered the nylon pads for the brackets, so much quieter now.2019 2970RL
