Congratulations I am sure your very excited to have it home. You are making the same switch we are from a Starcraft 21SSO to a Flagstaff 831FKBSS, little different floor plan. How long did you order take? I see you went with the Equalizer hitch too. Did you have that before on the HTT? We use a Draw Tite and are switching to Equalizer. Tell us more about your PDI. Did you find much wrong? Hope you find the time to get out with the new toy. Like was said, Pictures... Pictures.... Pictures.... Good luck and be safe.

Thanks, folks! Yes, it is quite a bit bigger than the HTT! Still fits in the same spot in the yard, though.
We didn't order it; it was already on the lot. I don't know exactly how long it was there, probably most of the winter. We already had the Equal-i-zer with the HTT, so it just needed adjusting (and a bigger hitch ball). It still may need readjusting, but we'll know better after loading the trailer. Which will take some time, trying to figure out just where we want to put things! PDI went well, though we forgot to ask them for a short tutorial on the hitch; the coupler is a very different shape, and the latch works differently than the one on our HTT. We had to call the dealer after we got home and get some coaching on how to operate it!  So make sure to have them go over the hitch with you - especially since you'll be switching WD/sway control too.
Will post more pictures later. In the meantime, I did put one in the TT pictures sticky.

Thanks for the information on the coupler. I did notice at the dealer that the new ones look far different then what we now have on the HTT. Looking forward to those pictures.
