Rexlion & Brad T : Thanks for reply and concern.
Yes I did see the rods behind that curtain. I and the dealer mechanic believed that they are guide tubes for an enclosed cable. From each side of the trailer they go to the center and then disappear into the wall. Too many twists and turns to be torsion bar ? But you very well may have answered my question. The dealer mech poped the cap on one of the 3/4 X 10 inch square tubes that the tubes or rods tie into and said there was nothing inside to adjust. When I have the roof raised again I can draw a straight line on that rod, close roof and crawl inside and if it is still a straight line it would not be a t-bar. If the line is twisted it would be a t-bar and there will be no way to adjust. So, off to Home Depot to buy a 3' cheater bar to stick into the lift handle. Further thinking has me thinking you are right.
