Will install everything and start WDH adjustments from scratch. Should get it right this time.
Any tips on starting the adjustment process from scratch?
Will I need to visit scales again?

Good for you!!
Tips,
Load the truck bed and camper like you are going camping before you start dimensions and adjustments on fender height.
Start with fender heights to set up your hitch at home. When it is all dialed in with the tape measure, then confirm axle weights at the truck scales to make sure all is correct. Adjust as needed.
There has been some discussion in your thread as to what is considered the right way to setup your WD hitch for your 2003 F350. This discussion has very different approaches to what is considered the right WD settings are for your setup. It might be a good idea before you start adjusting, tell us what is "your" understanding and thought process when WD is set correctly on the front and rear axles and what are shooting for? This can be done by using the tape measure on fender heights to get started but will need to be confirmed by scales. You should understand this before you start adjusting.
Hope this helps
