Micro Minnie FLX TV Hatch

[PAPA HOUSE]

TV hatch door hitting top of tongue jack and won’t open. Some have suggested turning the motorized head to the side. Dealer advised against. Dealer said changing the WDH shank to a longer extension. Current shank is 9” end to center hole. I ordered a Curt shank 12” end to center hole. That will allow enough clearance for the hatch to open. Question is, does adding 3 inches to the shank affect the WDH and do I have to reset everything? Will the extension affect proformance?

Thanks!

Not an expert by any means but would think that any time you move the distance from your the rear axle of your tow vehicle it would change how the load is carried. I would think it would be a good idea to reset WDH but if it towed well before I don't think the 3" would make a big difference.
