Camping!! NUFF SAID

I was out over the long weekend with my new-to-me trailer. Camping in the driveway of my in-laws cabin out at Gull Lake. Found out the low point drain on the fresh water tank has a slow leak. Looked like an easy fix, but I would have lost all my water, so I haven't done it yet.
One of the front stabilizing jacks looks like it was dragged somewhere, it's all twisted up. I'm going to just remove it, and use a different jack when I need it.
Figures out that the valve stems on my tires are all jammed up and won't easily accept more air. I'm going to replace the valve cores and hopefully that'll help. Also going to look into new tires on the trailer, but I'd prefer to do that next spring instead of this year. No long trips planned on this trailer for the season, so hopefully that's not tempting fate too much.
Still think I need more adjustments on my WD hitch to get it 100% level. My first guess wasn't bad, but the trailer is still a bit nose-down. Can't decide if I want to grab one more link on the chain too, that might be too tight. This'll be a trial and error kind of thing I'm guessing.
Also, I have a "rock solid" tow guard that I got to protect my brothers boat. I don't really need it with my TT, but I may as well use it. Problem is, it doesn't mount on the Curt hitch I have, since the shank isn't square because of the stiffening ribs. If I'm going to be towing on gravel, it might be a good idea to figure out a way to mount that somehow.
Going to be out mid-week starting June 16 or 17th with my littlest kid. Can't decide if I want to try to get a lakeside spot at Kananaskis lower lake, or head down to Livingstone falls. Also not sure if I'll stay out for the weekend had have the wife and elder daughter join us, or just run home.
