I'm hoping my new air bags and adjusting the ride height will also help from bottoming in all circumstances

New bags should make no difference.

Setting ride height IS important.  Only takes a few minutes to check-- let us know what your current ride highs are.

I just checked after repairing the wheel wells and my tires just touch the wheel wells. I'm going to look for some 1/2 inch belting
to put between the stops and frame. Also when I fined a level spot I will set my ride height, some may be out 1/2 inch.

Just make sure you don't leave anything resting on the top of the tires ( cord plugs ) or you could end up with the imprint of that item in your filon. When it auto level happens that is. 
Don't ask how I know.

8 1/2 in front and 8 in back, plate to plate, so the rear is a tad low and then add a 20 foot cargo trailer and that's possibly trouble

Ride height valves don't care about how much weight is added, their job is to raise the coach to set height. Set the rear bags to 8.5 "

AND in the rear, you have TWO ride height valves.  ONE in front.

Is it 81/2 inches? I thought it was 8 inches.

8.5" from below the lower plate to above the upper plate.

The plates are 1/4" thick.  Together, that is 1/2". 

SO, 8" "between the plates"= 8.5" below/above plates.

SAME DIMENSION.

On flat ground, coach in travel mode:

Start in the back-- in front of the rear wheels.  Set it to spec.

Then check front-- behind front wheels.  There is only a single ride height valve here, so you set to "average" of spec.
