thanks-those are good ideas.  

had to move the tanks forward to accommodate the new box.  Kinda tight, but the latch is accessible.  Required a new hose as well.  please let me know if you see any problems.

i have this brake controller and an the Fastway E2 6000#gtw  600#tw to install next.
if anyone has tips on either of these, please let me know.

The white cutting board stove cover is one I made from cutting boards from sams. They come in two packs for like $12.
I cut one of them for the sides to clear the oven height and screwed together. The other one came from amazon, the black one

That looks like a decent TBC, but I have no experience with it.

As for the E2, google for WDH setup, and look at a few setup videos on youtube. You will get the idea. You want a significant portion of the tongue weight shifted forward to the front wheels of your TV. The actual amount will depend on the TT and TV requirements, and there is more than one way to measure it. Most people just measure the height at the top of the wheel wells to ground. The most accurate way is to actually weigh the front wheels, back wheels and TT wheels to see where the weight has gone. That is also the most time consuming, and in most cases unnecessary. After it's all said and done, "some" of the tongue weight will be taken off the back wheels of the TV, and shifted forward to front wheels of the TV. As a consequence a very small portion of the weight will be back-loaded to the TT wheels. Because of the relatively long moment arm, the actual weight shifted back to TT should be really small; on an R-pod it will be something in the neighborhood of 40 or 50 pounds.
