Most of the hitches are pretty simple to install. I suggest you settle on a price of the new trailer, then start requesting add ons. You may have to buy the hitch but they would probably at least install it for free. You might also go for the electric tongue jack and slide toppers. In my experience, they almost expect you to ask for them.
I agree with that concept and it's what I did when we bought our current trailer. I got a dinnette slide topper and a 1.2/12K Equal-i-zer hitch system installed for $500 total and they even switched my existing electric tongue jack from my trade in to the new trailer again at no cost. By doing those type add ons you can often get the install free since it's only their time and is a good negotiating tool from their side. You should get any add on items at cost at a minimium.
