Well... That was easy! I like it when things are easy.
Followed TV instructions, which were to make WDH adjustments after suspension had tried to level itself (which still left the rear 2.5" low), then adjust tension on WDH until front measurements were the same as un-hitched.
Went super easy, super smooth. Second try at adjusting had the front measurements back exactly where they were un-hitched, the rear still 1 inch lower than unhitched. My first WDH, can't compare to others, but can say the Blue Ox was a piece of cake to setup, adjust, hitch up and un-hitch. Easy-easy. On the 25 mile test tow, it was not noticeable at all as far as noise or anything. Have to make some full lock turns backing up into my driveway and that was not a problem either. And no greasy mess anywhere, as advertised.
Also installed a Prodigy 2 brake controller today.
After WDH setup, took it out for a test haul to adjust the brakes and see how it felt. Towed beautifully! Brakes working excellent too.
Other things need attention, noticed a small drip from an existing repair in the gray tank, the fridge only works on propane not AC and I think the power board is probably bad, but, all in all, progress was made today!
