First post! So put a deposit on a Ameri Lite 199DD and trying to figure out what the hitch coupler height is...is there a good approximate number I can go by? I have a 2020 Odyssey and it has a low hitch height of 12.5" so I'm not sure which WD hitch I should order and that would help immensely!

And yeah...its cutting it close as far as tow capacity but it should do since we are a light family in both packing and height/size. As of now it looks like with all were planning we will not be exceeding the GCWR of 8565 for our van.

Anything else I should be looking out for before my first trip? Never owned a camper before but I've also watched my friend rip apart a 2019 Jayco Jayflight SLX to the studs to rebuild to his tastes...and yeah...its something. I'm that extreme with home projects but I wanted new to keep it simple.

All help is appreciated!
