Comparing Timbren and SumoSprings Suspension Enhancement for 2019 Thor ACE 30.2 Motorhome
The biggest difference between the two for your 2019 Thor ACE 30.2 motorhome, and the reason why I highly recommend the SumoSprings over the Timbren, is what each product is constructed from. The Timbrens are made from a strong, rigid rubber while the SumoSprings are made from microcellular urethane. This is important because it means the SumoSprings will compress more gently, while the Timbrens are known to give a much stiffer ride. The front axle and rear axle fits for your 2019 Thor...

Recommended Brake Controller Wiring Harness for 2018 THOR ACE
For your 2018 THOR ACE you will simply need the wiring harness # 3035-P. This harness will connect under the dash to your factory wiring near the OBD II and will directly plug into your Reese Brakeman IV Controller. I've attached a video to assist. It appears the brake controller wiring may not be fully run to the rear of your motorhome, so if you don't already have the 7-way you will need to complete your wiring using the # ETBC7 kit.

Recommended Brake Controller for a 2018 Thor Ace Motorhome
For your 2018 Thor Ace Motorhome, I recommend using the Curt Spectrum Trailer Brake Controller part # C51170. The reason for this is because this unit is composed of two main parts, the control box and the output knob. The control box gets mounted out of site and then the output knob will get installed up on your dash for easy use and a very aesthetically pleasing look. The color output of the knob also helps with ease of use. Since your motorhome is on a Ford F-53 chassis, you can use...

For your 2016 Thor Ace motorhome on F53 chassis, the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar for Motorhomes # RM-1139-146 is the correct fit for an 18,000 lb GVWR. Adding the rear anti-sway is the most effective option to help control body roll and sway. If in the future you want to add even more stability, I recommend the front Anti-Sway # RM-1139-148 and the Steering Stabilizer # RM-RBK22-RSSA. These will help with further support and stability to increase the ride and driving comfort.

Recommended Dimmable LED Strip Lights for 12 Foot Awning on 2013 Thor ACE
I may have a solution for you, but there is not a product that we carry that is going to meet all of the specifications that you're seeking and the biggest issue will be the power cord, which you can work around with an extension cord. The other option would be wiring the light directly to a dimmer switch that can be installed right inside your RV door and routed to a 12v power source to allow you the best solution for this. I'll provide you with the parts for both options. If you want...

Suspension Enhancement for 2019 Thor ACE that Would Allow Leveling Side to Side
Additional suspension support from a SumoSpring will most likely correct at least some of the lean you are experiencing but an air bag kit would be more ideal as you could put more pressure in the one side which would allow you to get the exact amount of pressure needed to level side to side. For that you would want the part # AL88240.

Does the Roadmaster Rear Sway Bar Need to Be Installed Completely Parallel to the Ground
When installing the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-146 you do want the trailing arms of the sway bar to be as parallel to the ground as possible. I can see what you're talking about, and they do look like they're angled slightly upwards. If you watch at the start of the videos where the road test is done, you can get a pretty good idea of what it's supposed to look like when installed. It may not be able to be installed completely level because of different components that are...
