It's not a big deal.........it would just be nice to have that extra cushion.

Maybe. But I think the Elkmonts must be a few hundred pounds lighter than the folding Trailmanors, at least the way you guys load them. I keep hearing about people with folding Trailmanors exceeding their GAWR, but that would be pretty hard with the Elkmont.
My loaded trailer's GAW is typically 300-400# less than the GAWR and the GVW is typically 500-600# less than the trailers GVWR. And the other Elkmont weights I've seen are lower than mine.
Even when we moved my daughter across the continent, and crammed all her stuff down the centre of the trailer, and had to take it out each night, we were still 100# less than the GAWR. (However my TV's rear axle was way over on that trip).
