I'll get you a pic in a few weeks but my wd bars are behind the nose, and to lever them up the nose has to be removed.

Yeah, I have serious fridge size envy. Mines a 2016 built in July of this year, then they did the late year update which resulting in the Fridge getting changes.

So I called my rep and they said the Electric residential fridge was an option as is the Propane/electronic fridge. Some prefer the dual fridge for boondocking. So I guess I could have opted for the residential fridge as well.

Here is a picture of my WDH on our 2016 Vibe, it's a Husky Center Line TS. I also take off the front cap when installing the torsion bars.

This is zoomed in a bit far but this is the Blue Ox Sway pro. Brackets sit under the cap so to use the draw bar it has to be removed. Click image for larger version

No need to put stabilizers down. If anything that will put undue stress on them.

Dave... yeah that is totally different Than my equal I zer hitch. No chains. The WD bars just sit on a L bracket. So I can leave my nose piece on while hooking and unhooking
