  • Parts Needed To Flat Tow 2009 Buick Enclave FWD Behind A Motor Home
  • You will only need a few parts to flat tow your Enclave. First you will need a base plate kit made custom for your towed vehicle. The Roadmaster # 523149-1 would be a good choice. Next you will need a tow bar. I recommend the Roadmaster # RM-522 “Falcon” All Terrain and Non-Binding tow bar rated for 6000 pounds. A non-binding tow bar will let you easily disconnect your tow bar even if your coach and towed vehicle is not on level ground or at a difficult angle. When your coach and towed...

  • For your 2020 Buick Enclave I recommend the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors # 7070-2. As these are universal fit you will be able to attach them to the mirrors on your Enclave. I have linked an installation video below that shows them being installed on a 2019 Chevrolet Blazer that has very similar mirrors to the ones on your Enclave.

  • Replacement Bumper Mounted Spare Tire Carrier For Travel Trailer
  • There is not a replacement rectangular piece of metal that holds the wheel in place for your bumper-mounted spare tire carrier. There is nothing I am aware of that can be used as some sort of alternative, the only option that I know will work is to replace the carrier with the Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier # UF15-954730 or Bumper Mounted Tire Carrier - U-Bolt Mount # TR-1.

  • Can the Valterra ABS Water Tank Be Installed Over an Open Space Without Supports
  • Valterra ABS water tanks like the # R8024 are baffled every 18" for surge control and made from lightweight ABS plastic, so they're just not designed to handle to additional pressure that is created from an electric water pump sucking the water out of the tank; the # R8024 will only have a single baffle. Using an electric water pump would void the manufacturer's warranty in the event of any malfunction, but you can use this on a hand primed water system. In regards to the surface that...

  • Bumper and Ground Clearance on Hitches for 2008 Buick LaCrosse
  • When installing a bike rack, bumper clearance is important. Two important measurements are hitch pin hole on receiver to end of bumper and hitch pin hole on the bike rack to the closest point of the rack. For bumper clearance, when we installed this on a 2009 Buick LaCrosse, the distance from the hitch pin hole to the end of the bumper was 6" with the Draw-Tite # 36374. I attached a picture for your reference. As for ground clearance, the measurement from the top of the receiver to the...

  • Are Handle Nuts Included When Ordering Replacement Hardware Kit # RHK For 2010 Buick Enclave Hitch
  • The picture for the Replacement Hardware Kit, part # RHK, is a typical photo. This means the picture is not the exact parts you will get with the kit you will need, it is just a photo of typical hitch mounting hardware. When you order your # RHK hardware kit, you will need to put in the part number of your hitch and the manufacturer of your hitch. With that information we will send you the same hardware that you would have received when you would have initially purchased that particular...

  • Do You Have The Blue Ox Base Plate BX1519 For a 2020 Buick Envision?
  • I understand the confusion Bob, but rest assured the Blue Ox Base Plate # BX1518 is the Blue Ox part number BX1519. We aren't always able to use the same part numbers from every manufacturer and what most likely happened with this particular part was a rolling update which Blue Ox changed their part number but we kept the part under the old number to keep the images and videos we have visible for everyone. When this occurs it is because the change is so small its virtually unnoticeable.

  • Why Does The Roadmaster Battery Disconnect RM-766 Attach To The Positive Battery Post
  • Hey Brad, that is a good question. The Roadmaster Battery Disconnect # RM-766 attaches to the positive battery post because that is what the polarity of the solenoid is designed for. This also allows for a positive current source for accessories such as a breakaway switch or stop light switch. If you were to disconnect the battery without using a Roadmaster Battery Disconnect, you would just pull the negative cable off like it says in your manual. With the # RM-766 though it will connect...

  • Recommendation For Powering Blue Ox Patriot Brake System On 2023 Encore GX When Battery Disconnected
  • Rather than disconnecting the battery by removing the ground connection I recommend installing the Roadmaster Battery Disconnect # RM-766 on your 2023 Buick Encore GX. This will allow you to Run a 12 Volt Outlet # RM-9332 for your Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR which connects to the power side of the battery disconnect. This way when you press the button on your dash to disconnect the battery this outlet still has power for the braking system. Be sure to also install the Charge Line Kit #...

  • Interior Dimensions of Thule Sup and Surfboard Pads
  • Thank you for the picture of your crossbars. The interior width of the Thule SUP and Surfboard Pads # TH846000 you referenced are 11 1/4" with the pad opened. They fit most aero, elliptical and factory cross bars. These give you 2 more inches than compared to your current ones, and by the looks of your cross bars these will work great. I also included a photo a short review video for you to check out.

  • Will Thule EasyFold XT Work Well on 2019 Buick Encore
  • The Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 can fit 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch hitch sizes so yes it would work great in a 1-1/4 inch hitch of a 2019 Buick Encore like the Curt part # C11527. We haven't had any customers come back who have installed it on an Encore but the Encore is a very standard smaller SUV like we've personally had the chance to install the rack on and we found that it fit really well. I attached a couple review videos that show it installed on a couple SUVs for you to check out.

  • How to Remove Old Split Bushing on Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar
  • In order to replace the bushing on your Sterling Tow Bar with a new Split Nylatron Bushing # RM-200029-00 you'll need to remove the 3/4" lock nut to remove the knuckle and slide the shaft out. From there you'll use a flat head screwdriver and needle-nose pliers to remove the old bushing. The new bushing can then be slid in and the shaft replaced working backwards to reassemble the tow bar.

  • Does 2020 Buick Envision Need Brake Light Relay and Which is Easier Blue Ox or Roadmaster Setup
  • Does our Allegro have trailer wiring already present at the rear of the vehicle? Like with a 7-way connector? If so the circuits are already combined regardless of what you see on the vehicle taillights. If you plan to use a diode kit or bulb and socket tow bar lighting solution you will need a brake light relay like # RM-88400 when using the brake system you mentioned so that the brake lights won't override the blinkers. It's a toss up on which is easier to use between the Roadmaster...
