We are heading into the local RV dealer to look at some LED strip lighting tomorrow. I will see if they have any ideas!

The valve is close to the rear axle. By close I would say 16 inches. Nothing pulling on the extension rod to the handle. If anything where it goes through the belly pan should help keep it closed.

Mine is a 33 but it is closer to 38 with the luggage rack down. You have a nice looking Sheraton on wheels.
I would recommend you level the rear of the EX out through weight distribution and not bags, you look tongue heavy. A Hellwig sway bar will help the rear end stability, bags will stiffen the suspension but you do not want to level with them.
If sway becomes a problem you may want to look at a ProPride hitch, they are expensive but well worth the money.

Roadmaster Active Suspension will fix this problem and more! It doesn't engage til it is needed.

Nice looking TT.
You may want to run the combo over a CAT scale to determine the actual tongue weight vs what your WD hitch is rated at, you may be able to increase the weight rating of the WD spring bars to bring the rear of the EX back up.
We just got home a few hours ago from a two week plus camping trip up and around Lake Ontario, we love every day that we are out and about in the trailer!

These are interesting replacing the standard WDH chains and the ProPride tower cranks. https://www.propridehitch.com/lipper...echnology-kit/

I do three weights; the truck and trailer, trailer alone, truck alone.
