  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for 5K Forest River Shamrock Trailer
  • I recommend going with the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control part # BLU47FR on your 5,000 lb trailer. This system is rated for up to 8,000 lbs so it will give you more room for error whether you want to upgrade trailers down the road or add more weight to your existing. It has integrated sway control so it will help with passing trucks or windy passes. It comes with a shank that will allow for a rise up to 6-1/2" and a drop down to 1-1/2". In order to see what your rise/drop...

  • How To Wire Firestone Air Command Compressor System With or Without Yellow Wire
  • The Air Command Compressor System part # F2610 can be wired in one of two ways. The first way would be to just attach the red wire to the positive battery terminal and the black wire to the negative battery terminal.

  • Will a 1,000 Lb Weight Distribution System Work on a Forest River Wildwood 26DBUD
  • Yes, a 1,000 lb tongue weight weight distribution system will work great on a Forest River Wildwood 26DBUD with a dry tongue weight of 795 lbs. That said, if you wanted some more room for error or the ability to upgrade trailers down the line you could also use a 1,200 lb tongue weight weight distribution system and that's what I recommend. For this, the Blue Ox 2-Point Weight Distribution System part # BLU75FR is a great system with built-in sway control and it has everything you need...

  • What is Minimum Clearance Between Fifth Wheel Overhang and Truck Bed Rails
  • Between 4 and 6 inches is typically what is recommended as minimum clearance from trailer overhang to bed rails. If you can level your setup by lowering hitch where you'd have 5 inches you should be fine. Especially if you aren't in an area with a lot of steep elevation changes. Another solution would be to lift the trailer suspension like with the Correct Track lift kit part # RR23QX which can give you either a lift of 1-1/4 inch or 2-1/4 inch. This will level the trailer and would...

  • Are There Air Bags for a 2023 Gulf Stream Conquest Motorhome with Chevy Chassis
  • I do have an option for you but there are no air bag options for a 2023 Gulf Stream Conquest on Chevrolet Express 3500 Chassis. Instead, I recommend the SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizer and Sway Control Kit part # SSA13 which like air bags will provide extra support. These are also maintenance free unlike air bags so you don't ever have to worry about air leaks. The benefits of air bags is much less when you have constant loads and the maintenance can be somewhat of a headache....

  • B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch With 2013 Chevrolet Silverado Long Bed Turnover Ball
  • The B&W Companion # BWRVK3500 is designed to work in the B&W Turnover gooseneck ball # BWGNRK1012 that you mentioned was already installed in your 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Long Bed. You will pull the pin to remove the turnover ball and drop the Companion in and latch in place. I recommend using a Lube Plate # RP83001 to extend the life of your hitch as well as quiet the ride. This will also make things a lot cleaner by not attracting dirt with regular grease.

  • Total Weight of Curt A30 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch C16070
  • I was able to find the weight for you of the Curt A30 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # C16070, which is 145 lbs. The head unit is nearly 100 lbs with the legs making up the rest of the weight. And while it's heavy, there is a 1-pin removal system for the head unit to make it somewhat easier to remove the hitch from your truck bed, though a helper would likely be a good idea. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well of the Curt...

  • Determining If 1" Spacer Included with Timbren TGMRCK25D Needs To Be Used On 2013 Chevy Silverado
  • The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TGMRCK25D you were looking at for your 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD 4x4 are 5-1/4" tall without the 1" spacer, or 6-1/4" tall with it. You want 1" - 1-1/2" gap between the # TGMRCK25D and the axle so if this gap is 6-1/4" - 6-3/4" you won't need the included spacer, or if the measurement is 7-1/4" - 7-3/4" you will need the included 1" spacer. I included a video of the # TGMRCK25D being installed for you to take a look at.

  • Tuning the 5th Airborne Fifth Wheel Coupler Air Pressure Setting and Air Spring Adjustment
  • I would need the pin box part number off of your trailer to send you the correct instructions for your 5th Airborne coupler. I have sent instructions (see link)that apply to most 5th Airborne couplers for you. A good starting point for pressure setting is 80-100 psi. (Do Not Exceed 120 psi). When setting air pressure you need to be on level ground and add air until the skid plate is level. If you cannot maintain a satisfactory ride, you need to reposition the the air spring or adjust...
