11 pages of discussion, much of it being negative reaction from you to posts from those of us only trying to help, and now no more response to this last post of yours ought to tell you no one now cares. No wonder. :R

FWIW, my experience is that a TT pulls better when slightly nose down.
Key words being "slightly nose down" ... an inch is OK but 4" to 5" would be way too much. :E

We looked at the 192 and Lance 1995, and went with the Lance:
Bigger Fresh tank (we boondock)
True 4-season package
Deeper slide, so we can get more at the table (guests)
Front window, and windows on side of slide, for more visibility (can't be outside in all weather)
DW preferred the aesthetics
For us, the $10k difference was worth it, for our use.

Nice looking rig, SoundGuy . . . and looks to be dead level, indeed. So to what end?

Hmmmm, well since the object with any towing combination is to run the trailer as close to level as reasonably possible whether using weight distribution or not, the question being posed by Ralph, myself, and others is - does yours? We ask because it would appear in that earlier pic you posted, one you've posted many times before, that your trailer is in fact running noticeably nose down, which in turn would raise the question as to whether you wouldn't be better off using weight distribution, regardless of Honda's position on the subject.

I think what Ralph and others are asking though is whether when hitched up and ready to go camping your trailer is sitting level front to back. If so, the trailer frame should be at the same distance off the ground at the rear as it is at the front ... not the A frame, but the frame near the front of the box. I agree, in your pics your combination sure doesn't look level but of course pics can distort so it's hard to tell without an actual measurement. As an example, my own truck & trailer runs dead level, and measurements confirm it. :B
This is only possible, even with my 1/2 ton Silverado as a tow vehicle, because I use a properly sized & adjusted weight distribution system. Have to admit, I've always wondered how this is possible with a Ridgeline towing a 192RBS without also using weight distribution. :h

Last Train? Trailer sure looks nose down 4 or 5 inches and Ridgeline squatting at least the same.......may be the picture angle. Trailer nose down is usually better than nose high.

So re your squatting observations. I have regularly measured the drop of our Ridgeline at the rear bumper, and it has never exceeded two inches - and I measure that once we are fully loaded the night before we depart for a trip early the next morning. I also measure our tongue weight with a Sherline scale, as well.

The Coachmen in my sig, purchased in July, has the same issue with the fresh tank. Fill it up and watch the enclosed underbelly sag.
I will address that problem in the spring, when I pull the coroplast to figure out why the floor creaks and cracks and flexes when I walk past the kitchen counter.
