With the FW at 8940, you want at least 1800 on the pin, 1900 would be even better.

Why such a large cargo box on the rear with so much storage already available in the FW?

I have the same issue with my 2018 Eagle HT. The slides from HD are thicker than the original so I will need to narrow the box of the drawer. Worth the effort for a more robust drawer slide.

Check your oil level.

Or if the generator was tipped, it takes a while for the oil tho drain back down to the crankcase.

In both situations, the generator will not start.

You need to subtract your pin weight from the 14,999. So roughly 3,000 lbs or 20% less than the tire total capacity, when new. Not much margin even with the correction.

Ditto on the need for a nut plate since the wall of the tube is too thin to anchor to with the self tapping screws. Roadmaster tech support will give you the same advice if you talk with them.
