A word of warning about weights
Trailer is finally loaded up for the maiden voyage this weekend and I have been able to make the modifications I wanted to make before we leave. Still have some to go but the important ones are done. ...

Weights and capacities are one consideration and very important. Did you remove the spring bars and do a 3rd pass to get the TW? You need to do this because the WDH transfers some wt. back onto the TT axles. I would expect the TW to be more like around 800 lbs on that 29' TT based on an actual loaded wt. of 6K lbs. What spring bar rating have you got?
What about pressure in TT and TV tires? You want max. sidewall psi in TT tires. What tires on the the truck - P or E type (will affect psi recommendation)? If P type, you should consider E type. TT should be level to slightly nose down when all loaded and hooked up. I have our 29' TT set to be lightly nose down and it runs better. Loading of the truck and trailer can affect trailer being level or not. Is the WDH properly adjusted and who did it? If dealer, do not rely on them and learn how to do it yourself (easy to do and there's a good sticky in the towing section). Have you got sway control on the WDH? Maybe you already know about this stuff, I don't know...
