I read thru the WW Repairs Sticky and if I recall there's a pic with the 2 different thickness 4" box tubing used for the tongue. Or maybe that was in an article about the lawsuit. Anyway, our Superlite has a U-channel tongue 5" x 1 1/2".
Noticed something odd, the roof vent over the shower opens forward. If it was left open while driving it would be ripped off by the wind. I've ordered vent covers for all the vents. I'm guessing that vent was installed backwards and it looks easy to turn around.
Most of the SL's had C-Channel steel tongues. Just check the thickness and confirm if has 1/8" thick. You may want to see if it is bending up and all. You might be able to just site it. If it's 3/16 you should be good.
Then I would just check out the outriggers to see how many you have on both sides.
If they sides haven't buckled yet you may be good.
Definitely turn the vent around.
