I just finished an uneventful first trip (1200 miles) with our new Stehl dolly. I went to get the Master Tow, but couldn't get the electric brake model, so I found this one, which looks like a virtual...

You obviously have big rig experience, the question is, are you trying to drive the RV as a car rather than a bus, taking corners to close to the curb instead of moving to the edge of the lane you are in and taking a wide turn into the lane that you are going into, taking tight corners will require the dolly a d the toad to take a sharper turn, thus having the pan swing to the stops.
May I suggest that you take the RV dolly and toad to an unused parking lot, take some masking tape, paper and pen and a protractor.
Drive straight and mark where the pan sits on the dolly that is what the masking tape is for, now make a shallow turn and again mark the angle of the dolly.
Continue until the pan is at the stop, and look at how the toad is in relation to the whole set up, maybe the steering needs go be completely locked so that the toad does not wander of track and makes the toad push the pan against the stop.
