Switch for Solera Awning to Allow it to Power In and Out
The Solera switch part # LC285500 that you referenced was designed to fit all Solera power awnings so it would work well to give you an inside switch to extend and retract. This would not affect the batteries ability to charge either.

Why is There 12 Volts on the Black Wire for my Trailer Connector
If you are referring to the 12 volt pin that is located in the 1 o'clock position on the 7-way trailer connector then there should be 12 volt power feeding from the vehicle to the trailer on that pin. This means that if you test the 12 volt wire (usually black) before it enters and exits the controller, there should be 12 volts on either side assuming the 12 volt wire on the trailer is ran to a battery for maintenance changing purposes. Attaching two 12 volt power wires together will not...

Replacement White Awning Fabric With Blue Fade For a Trailer With 16' Awning
The Replacement 15'1" Fabric # LCV000334402 is designed to fit on a 16' awning. Camper awnings are measured from center of mounting arm to center of mounting arm . This means the fabric is going to be shorter since the fabric has to fit on the tube which connects to the awning arms. If you are measuring your fabric at 16' then you most likely have a 17' awning. This will use the Fabric # LCV000334411.

What Dimensions Are Brake Mounting Flanges for 10 Inch Brake Assemblies
I recommend that you perform any measurements with a digital calipers; I'm fairly sure that this might be the reason for the discrepancy in measurements. Brake mounting flanges are a standard size and if you've got Dexter self-adjusting brakes on your trailer those would use a standard 4 bolt mounting flange like the ones found on the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust # 23-468-469 (both driver and passenger side assemblies). I've also linked a photo that shows the standard dimensions of a 4-bolt brake...

Trailer tires like the # AM10140 which have a max pressure rating of 80 psi need to be ran at their max psi at all times to ensure you get the full weight capacity like you mentioned but also to prevent heat build up from excessive sidewall flex. Unlike vehicles that have a range of pressure you can use trailer tires need to be inflated to their max psi when cold to be reliable and safe.

Weight Distribution System that Allows For Bracket Placement 35 Inches Behind Hitch Ball
The Curt Weight Distribution systems part # C17052 and C17002 brackets fit frames that are 2-3/4" wide so you will not have an issue with the brackets fitting your frame. Curt does not specify bracket placement for MV weight distribution systems however, the bars measure 30-5/8" long. The two Curt systems you mention also have a tongue weight range of 800 lbs-1,000 lbs which is very overrated for your setup with a 450 lb tongue weight. An overrated weight distribution system can cause a...

Which Curt Multi Fit Hitch Could Fit 2019 Rockwood Mini Lite 2507S
Since your frame width is 68-1/2 inches the Curt hitch part # 13703 is the correct size as the # C13704 fits up to 66 inch frames measure from outside to outside. A different bike rack solution that you might prefer is the Swagman Around the Spare part # S80501 which would attach directly to the rear bumper and around the spare. This would prevent needing to use a hitch extension.

Replacement Spare Wheel and Tire for Westlake ST235/75R15
What you have there is definitely a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. 5 on 4-1/2 is the standard for a 5 bolt pattern. It looks like you have the Lionshead Wildcat wheel which was unfortunately discontinued. You can use the Westlake ST235/75R15 Radial Tire w 15" Phoenix Aluminum Wheel # LH52FR you were looking at if you like the look of that wheel. This has a load range D tire but the difference won't be an issue since it has a higher capacity.
