  • Recommended Bike Rack for a 65 lb E-Bike For a 2013 Ford Taurus
  • No, no trunk mounted bike rack is going to be able to hold a 65 lb e-bike unfortunately. Your best bet is to use a hitch mounted bike rack because that is going to give you a lot more options and capacity. It's kind of a big undertaking, but you'd need to install a hitch first if you don't have one. I'd recommend sticking with a class III hitch because just about everything is designed to be used with a class III hitch, plus the weight capacities tend to be a bit better. If you're looking...

  • Can You Use Square Thule Crossbars On An Inno Roof Rack Installed On 2008 Scion xB?
  • You will want to stick with one brand throughout the entire roof rack kit; various brands of roof racks are not made to be compatible and interchangeable with each other. The most economical roof rack for your 2008 Scion xB is Inno Square Crossbars - Steel - Black - 58" Long - Qty 2 # INB147 with Feet # INSUT and Fit Kit # INK300. This has a weight capacity of 120lbs.

  • Replacement Options For A Dometic RV Air Conditioner Model # 57915.541
  • If you're wanting to replace just the rooftop unit then you'll first want to remove the cover of your air distribution box to take a look at the controller. The controller will have a wire harness that hangs down from the rooftop unit and plugs into it with either a 6-pin or 9-pin connector (pictured below). If you have a 6-pin connector then the Advent Air Replacement RV Air Conditioner # ACDOM150 would be a direct swap out of your current rooftop unit. If you have a 9-pin connector...

  • Sway Control and Brake Controller for 2016 Volkswagen Touareg TDI
  • I recommend the Tuson Sway Control # 335TSC-1000 as the best electronic sway control for your 2016 Volkswagen Touareg. For the brake controller the wiring is not as complicated as many believe. We have a article (linked below) that will walk you through all the steps and extra parts necessary to install a hard wired brake controller. I recommend the Prodigy P3 # 90195 for user friendly operation and customization. If you still prefer to go wireless the Curt Echo # C51180 I feel is a...

  • Can I Fit the Thule Hitching Post Pro 4 Bike Rack on a 2021 Tesla Model Y
  • Yes, you can use the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR and it will do a good job for you. You're likely going to need bike frame adapter bars for the kids' bikes and for any other bikes that have aggressive step through frames; for those you can use the # 64005. I also recommend getting the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock # THSTL2 and the Thule Cable Lock # TH538XT to secure your bikes. I've linked a review video of these parts for you to check out, as well.

  • If One Brake Magnet Goes Bad, Will Other Brakes Still Work?
  • If one brake magnet goes out the other 3 on your trailer will still be working, you will just not have the one braking assembly working and it will need to be replaced. As long as the pads on the assembly are in good shape you can just replace the magnet using the Replacement Trailer Brake Magnet for 12" Brake Assemblies # BP01-180 if you have 12" brakes, or # AKBRKR-M10 if you have 10" 3500lb brakes. If you can let me know exactly which size brakes you have I would be happy to confirm...

  • Can MaxxAir MaxxFan Mini Roof Vent be Used With Wall Switch
  • We have trailer roof vents that have an included wall switch you can use, but it is not recommended to use one with the MaxxAir MaxxFan Mini Roof Vent with 12V Fan # MA00-04301M because this vent is meant to have 12 volt power constantly, and a switch interrupts the voltage, which could damage the circuit board. If you'd like, what you can use instead is an option from Ventline which includes the wall switch for simple use: - Ventline Ventadome Roof Vent with 12V Fan and Wall Switch...

  • Camping The Roadmaster Exact Center And RSSA Stabilizers For A 2023 Forest River FR3 30DS
  • For a 2023 Forest River FR3 30DS you could use either the Roadmaster Exact Center Steering Stabilizer w/ Custom Brackets for Class A Motorhomes # RM63RR or Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer with Mounting Brackets # RM62VR. Both stabilizers will definitely help make a difference with the wandering you've been experiencing with the only difference between the two being that the Exact Center offers more adjustability to fine tune the performance. The jam nuts on the Exact Center can be...

  • Will The Gen-Y Hitch 5TH Wheel Gooseneck Pin Box Fit a 1997 Jayco Eagle Camper?
  • To determine if the Gen-Y Hitch 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box # GY58GR will fit your 1997 Jayco Eagle 24' 5th wheel we need to know what pin box you have. As this information is not always stamped on the pin box you will need to take some measurements. I have included a chart from Gen-Y which shows the different pin boxes and measurements which will fit with their pin box.

  • Roof Mounting Options for a Thule Hideaway Awning on a Mercedes Sprinter
  • Yes, you can use the Roof Rack Adapters item # TH490001 to attach the Thule HideAway Awning for Sprinter item # TH64WJ to an aftermarket roof rack. The only two major restrictions are the crossbars need to have a 36" spread and they can not be wider than 3-1/2". I have linked a picture below of what this adapter will look like when installed. I have also attached a review video so you can see how this adapter works. We do have two other options for mounting the Thule HideAway Awning item...

  • Does Reese Offer Replacement Spring Bars For Stedi-Flex Weight Distribution Hitches?
  • I do have some other options for you as Reese does not offer any replacement spring bars for the larger 12,000LB # RP66560 or 14,000LB Steadi-Flex weight distribution hitches. They only offer the Spring Bar # RP58501 for the 400-600lb tongue weights which is not compatible with the larger hitch heads. We do have the Fastway e2 weight distribution hitches which allow you to use several different spring bars with the same hitch. Here is a list of the different hitches and weight bars. 250-600lbs...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited
  • They will not but I have a set that does. If your 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited has no rails on the roof you will need the Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack for Naked Roofs item # RR92SR. If your Santa Fe does have the flush rails on the roof you will need the following parts: Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 54" Long - Qty 2 item # RRVA137B-2 Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Flush Factory Side Rails - Qty 4 item # RRSX032

  • Power Tailgate Lock and Switch Kit For a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 WT
  • I do have one option for you since the Replacement BOLT Lock Cylinder # BL709231 is for the Tailgate Handle with BOLT Lock # BL5922987 and will not replace the factory lock on your 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500WT. For that cylinder you will need to visit a Chevrolet dealer. We do offer the Pop & Lock Custom Tailgate Lock # PAL8140 that will allow for you to use the power locks on your 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 WT to lock and unlock your tailgate so that you will not need the key.

  • Recommended Gooseneck Hitch To 5th Wheel Trailer Adapter For Short Bed Truck
  • I have another option for you, but there is not a version of the Hi-Rise Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter by Bulldog, Draw-Tite and Reese # 9480 that is offset for a short bed truck, and I do not recommend cutting the legs on the cab side of hitch as they are what keeps the hitch stable, and will void the warranty of the hitch. Instead I recommend going with the Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter w/8" Offset for Short-Bed Trucks # AM3139 which will...

  • Solution for Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2012 Porsche Panamera
  • It looks like there was a Stealth Hitch for the 2012 Panamera which was the SHR35005. It has been discontinued and is nowhere to be found. I cannot recommend adapting the Stealth Hitch to your 2012 model either since it is only designed to fit the 2017-2021 models. Your best bet is to have a hitch custom fabricated for your vehicle. You can take the Curt Weld-On 2" Receiver for Custom Fabricated Hitches # E17 to a fabricator and have them fashion a hitch that can be used to carry your bike rack.

  • Troubleshooting Brake Pedal Of 2020 Ram 1500 Not Activating Trailer Brakes W/ Tekonsha PowerTrac
  • I reached out to my contact at Tekonsha and there are a few things to check. Since you used the Plug-in Adapter to install the Tekonsha PowerTrac # 39523 in your 2020 Ram 1500 there are two posibilities. The first is to double check that the factory trailer brake controller port is sending the stop light signal through the red wire to engage the brakes. You can test this by using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 on the red wire on the harness of the brake controller. If when you press the...
