I really like your solution, the swing hitch has looked like a big problem area to me since we first looked at our TM. The dealer didn't have one on the lot without the swing hitch and gave us such a good deal I figured I could handle it later. We already have a 1/4 inch gap at the bottom on the same side and that is with out using a WDH. I tried setting up the WDH when we got home from Tx but there is to much interference. Good thing two of my neighbors are certified welders, one is even nuke certified.
