- Recommend Voltage Protector And Dogbone Adapter To Connect 50 Amp Cord To 30 Amp Coachmen Trailer
- You are correct that you would not want to use a 50 amp surge protector on your 2018 Coachmen Freedom Express Travel Trailer since it has a 30 amp cord powering the RV.
To connect your 50' 50 amp cord to your trailer you will plug the 50 amp cord into the shore power, then plug the Mighty Cord Dogbone RV Power Cord Adapter - 30 Amp Female to 50 Amp Male # A10-5030FHVP in-between your 50 amp cord and the Camco RV Power Defender Voltage Protector # CAM55301 you were looking at. You can then...

- If you can safely disconnect the battery when towing is completely dependent on how you have your supplemental braking system powered. My suggestion is to simply install the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles, # RM-156-25. This is a very cost effective and easily installed component. while we do not have an installation video created of this product on a Honda Element, we do have a step-by-step installation video on a 2006 Honda CR-V. Please note the link below.

- Dual waste valves, such as the Valterra # TR38A, are nearly generic by nature. This one has the standard 1-1/2" gray water gate and standard 3" gate, and has a "Y" shape. You should also look at the Bristol # 34466ND13AAR Double Waste Valve that has more of a "T" shape, or the Valterra # T38.
Compare what you have on your Freedom Express to these and one should be a match. Many of these connections will have been factory installed with solvent cement an will have to be cut off. Be prepared...

- From specs available to me online, it appears that your 2016 Coachmen Chaparral Fifth Wheel model 336TSIK is 36 feet in length. I suggest the Adco Olefin HD All-Climate RV Cover for 5th Wheel, # AD69ZR. This works well for long-term storage in all climates and the zippered panels offer easy access to the interior. Use the cinch ropes at front and rear of cover remove slack and reduce billowing.

- Sounds like you'd want our etrailer.com Pin Lock part # e98890 for the pin lock and then for the 2 inch hitch lock you'd want the hitch lock part # e98880 which you can then select keyed alike on both from the drop down menu and they'll come with the same lock core.

view full answer... - Lift Kit and Equalizer Upgrades for 2016 Coachmen Apex Ultra Light 269RBSS
- The Lippert lift kit part # LC425750 that you referenced is a single axle lift so it would not work on your 2016 Coachman Apex Ultra Light 269RBSS as it is a tandem axle trailer. For a tandem axle lift kit the part number you'd need is the # RR23QX instead. This comes with all of the hardware needed for install.
If you were looking for an upgraded equalizer kit too we had the part # K71-449-00 for a standard equalizer or the part # K71-653-00 which comes with cushioned equalizers. Both...

- Yes, you can replace the wheel and tire you have now that has the size ST205/75-14 with the larger size of ST215/75-15 like with the part # AM32479. There would be enough clearance for the wheel/tire to fit.
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement Stereo for 2011 Coachmen Mirada Motorhome
- Your 2011 Coachmen Mirada has what they call a double din fit. I recommend the Jensen RV Stereo - Double DIN - AUX/USB, Bluetooth, jControl - 12V # JWM60A. The overall dimensions are 10-7/16" wide x 7" tall x 6-1/2" deep with mounting dimensions of 9" wide x 6" tall x 5-1/2" deep.
If that is too large for your cab I've attached the link to all our double din options as well as a link our in-cab options. Each option will have the dimensions to help you confirm your desired fit on the...
view full answer... - Travel Trailer Hitch for 2018 Coachmen Catalina SBX 221TBS
- Best option will be a hitch that attaches to the 4 inch square bumper you have at the rear of your 2018 Coachmen Catalina SBX Model 221TBS like the Curt # E-100. This will be much easier to fit and will allow you to carry an RV approved bike rack like the Swagman E-Spec # S94FR. You would not have enough room on your trailer frame for the Curt hitch # 13703 to fit like you said.
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution System For A 2018 Coachmen Freedom Express Ultra Lite 248RBS
- With the max tongue weight of your 2018 Coachmen Freedom Express Ultra Lite 248RBS being 705 pounds, I do have to immediately rule out the Curt TruTrack # C17500 and Blue Ox TrackPro # BLU77FR weight distribution systems. This is due to both systems have a tongue weight range of 800 pounds at the minimum and 1,000 pounds at the maximum. When choosing the best weight distribution system for a trailer, you want to get the tongue weight (hitch weight) as close to the middle of the weight distribution...
view full answer... - 5,200 lb Trailer Brake Assembly Recommendations
- Going with a brake setup that's rated for higher than what the axle capacity is designed for isn't ideal as it basically just makes it harder to adjust the brakes properly. They brakes themselves won't necessarily be any stronger but when you are fine tuning the adjustment of them it will feel like you either have too much braking or not enough instead of easily being able to find the correct tightness.
That said, we have the 5,200 brake assemblies part # AKEBRK-7L-SA for the left side...

- The Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier # UF48-979033 that you referenced is safe to use at the hitch at the back of a motorhome like your 2014 Coachman Freelander QB21. To determine if it will clear the rear bumper you'll need to measure from the hitch pin hole of it out to the furthest point out on the rear bumper. If that distance is less than 5 inches this will fit and clear without issue.

- Reese has updated their weight distribution systems a few times over the years. It is odd that the socket size changed but for the Strait Line system part # RP66083 the correct hardware kit you'd need is the # 58133.

- That specific Fan-Tastic roof vent is no longer made so there aren't any replacement parts for it. Best solution would be an all new fan assembly that you can replace what you have with like the MaxxFan part # MA00-05100K which also has a thermostat.
view full answer... - Cover Recommendation for a 2016 Coachmen Catalina 283RKS Travel Trailer
- From what I found your 2016 Coachmen 283RKS is 32-1/2 feet long so I recommend Adco Olefin HD RV Cover for Travel Trailers up to 34' - All Climate + Wind - Gray # AD59ZR. This is an all-climate cover that also protects against Wind. It measures34' 3" long x 8' 8" wide x 8' 6" tall and is designed for travel trailers that are 31-34 feet long. I have linked a video showing the features of this line of covers that actually shows an installation for you.

- Since the MORryde X-Factor Crossmember for CRE, SRE, or Stock Leaf Spring Suspension # MR33WR can fit stock suspension it can also work with the Lippert Equalizer upgrades as well such as the part # LC279688. This would make a substantial improvement in the ride quality and suspension of your RV.
