Someone said that I'm not getting the full weight distribution experience and it could compromise my setup. I want to move the system but my propane bottles and tray are right in the way. Not to mention my anti-sway. It'll be close but doable. Just asking if the angle means a lot. Haven't hooked up since putting on the new shoes but I'm heading to Tenn. later this month and need to be sure I'm safely towing.
Thanks in advance.
God Bless!

What WD hitch do you have? Can only relate what I know about the Reese StraitLine (my hitch). It was installed by our dealer when we took delivery of our TT. The snap up brackets for chain attachment were positioned on the trailer A frame so the chains are perpendicular to the ground when attached to the cams and snap up brackets. This configuration also results in the trunnion bars being roughly parallel to the ground when the bars are attached to the hitch head and the back end of the bars are resting on the cams.
FWIW: On our trailer, the snap up brackets are positioned between the LP tanks and battery tray, so yes, it's a little cramped. I have found I have to remove the ABS tank cover to insert the retainer pins in the snap up brackets to lock them in place.
