The other variable with the trailer is that it has an under slung coupler which is why Reece said to bolt the snap up bracket for added support.
If so, the friction of the cam acting against a very steep bar slope can exert unusually high forces on the lift chain.
Is it possible for you to raise the rear ends of the WD bars by reducing the amount of ball mount tilt and decreasing the number of chain links under tension?
This would position the bars at a less-steep angle and might eliminate some of your problems.
If you have a close up photo of a bar, cam, and lift chain when the TT is attached to the TV, that would give us a better basis for providing comments.
