Expert Answers about Dutchmen

• If Lower Plate of Trailair Pin Box Replaceable
• The lower plate of the Trailair pin box is not replaceable but if you were in a situation where it would need to be replaced you'd need to replace the entire pin box. There isn't an exact figure or dimension that gets checked to know if the lower plate is bad or damaged but you'd just have to look at it and look for signs of wear or damage to the king pin and plate.

• Recommended Bolt-On Hitch for 2018 Coleman Lantern 286RK
• The 2018 Coleman Lantern 286RK has a standard 4" x 4" rear bumper so I recommend the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver part # E-100. This would be the only bolt-on option or one like it since there aren't any pre-drilled holes in the frame to attach it that way. You may need to move the spare tire over to fit the trailer hitch if present.

• Backup Camera Recommendation for 2019 Coleman LT 18 Travel Trailer
• Your 2019 Dutchmen Coleman Lantern LT Travel Trailer was pre-wired for a Furrion observation camera system like the part # FOS43TASF that you referenced. If you go with the 5 inch display version part # FOS05TASF you can have side cameras added with the Furrion Vision S Side Camera w/ Marker Light Bracket # FCE48TASL so this would be what I recommend.

• Recommended Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement for a 2017 Ford F-350
• For your 2017 Ford F-350, you have two options. You can go with either the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System part # TFR350SDJ or part # TFRTT350J. I recommend using the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System part # TFR350SDJ as these aeon springs are rated for a higher weight capacity and are made of a thicker rubber. The hollow rubber springs sit above the rear axle below the frame to help stabilize and provide up to 8,600 lbs of load support capacity. They are designed to provide...

• Recommended Storage Lot RV Cover for 2021 Dutchmen Kodiak Cub 196BH
• I suggest the Adco Polypropylene Storage Lot RV Cover for Travel Trailer - Up To 22' Long, # 290-74841. This has actual dimensions of 267" long x 100" wide x 90" tall. From the specs available to me online, your 2021 Dutchmen Kodiak Cub 196BH is 284" from rear bumper to coupler. Please note the attached image for measuring a Travel Trailer. You need to measure the length of the box of the trailer, do not include the trailer tongue. For sidewall height, measure from the undercarriage to...

• Which Roadmaster Comfort Ride Kit and Disc Brake Kit Fits 2016 Dutchmen V-3002 W/ Triple 7k Axles?
• I would be happy to recommend the correct Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit W/ Shocks for your 2016 Dutchmen Voltage V-3002 with triple 7000lb Lippert axles but the # RM-2460-2580 you were looking at is for tandem axle trailers with 8000lb axles. For your trailer you will need the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shock Absorbers - Triple 7K Trailer Axles # RM-2460-2570-3 instead. This kit is designed to work with triple 7000lb axles like you have,...

• Strait Line Weight Distribution Recommendation for Travel Trailer with 560 lb Dry Tongue Weight
• I'd recommend the next higher Strait Line part # RP66083 which has a tongue weight range of 400-800 lbs. Your dry tongue weight of 560 lbs is about at the top of the range of the # RP66082 which is 200-600. By the time your trailer would be loaded you'd be over the capacity and the system would be basically ineffective. Ideally you want the loaded tongue weight of the towing setup to fall right into the middle of the range of the system. Keep in mind that the weight of any cargo behind...

• How To Pick Out Correct Replacement Slam Door Latch for Dutchmen Aerolite Camper
• I am not sure what slam latch came on the trailer originally as we don't have any way to look this up but if you study the style of the latch and note some dimensions it should be pretty easy to pick out a replacement yourself. The Global Link RV Baggage Door Slam Latch part # 295-000078 for example measures 5" wide x 4-1/2" tall x 1-3/4" thick. I have attached a full list of our other latches if this one does not match up with what you need.

• Recommended Weight Distribution System for Grand Design Transcend Xplor 247BH
• The Grand Design Transcend Xplor 247BH has a gross vehicle weight rating of about 7,000 lbs so the most the tongue could ever weight is between 10-15% of this which is 700 lbs - 1,050 lbs. Therefore, I'd shoot for a system in the middle of this range. The Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System part # C17500 is my recommendation. It comes with a pre-torque hitch ball as well so it's ready to use right out of the box.

• Upgrading The Suspension On A 2015 Dutchmen Aerolite Travel Trailer
• Awesome! It sounds like you are definitely on the right track here. The leaf springs # e22YR will work perfectly at 26" long and should be a bit of an upgrade from the current spring. The Moryde equalizers # MR27ZR are also a great choice. Now we cannot always go off of the wheelbase to determine fitment. We would want to compare the size of the current equalizer to the Moryde equalizer. Measured center hole to center hole, the Moryde is 8" long and 3-1/2" tall. I have attached a picture...

• Recommended Bolt On Trailer Hitch For Carrying e-bike w/ 2021 Coleman 17B Travel Trailer
• It does seem to be a trend that RV bumpers are getting flimsier due to cheaper/thinner materials, so I completely understand not trusting it to carry your expensive e-bike. What I recommend is the bolt on Curt # 13703 which fits frames that are up to 72" wide so it'll fit your 2021 Dutchmen Coleman Lantern 17B just fine. You'll then want to make sure you're using a Travel Trailer rated bike rack for your e-bike as most bike racks are not rated for the extra force on the back of a travel...

• Leaking Faucet On Travel Trailer
• A common faucet option in travel trailers such as yours is the Flow Max RV Kitchen Faucet, # LC719325. This is made by Lippert who is a supplier to OEM's. This may be similar to what you have. The Flow Max, # LC719325 does have the ability to replace the cartridge, which is a common cause for dripping faucets. Lippert uses the type-A (Lippert part Number, 2021025928) for this faucet. This is an easy DIY install, I suggest a replacement of the current faucet with the Flow Max if you cannot...

I included videos for both of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

• Recommended RV Storage Cover for 2019 Dutchmen Coleman Light LX 1601EX Travel Trailer
• I recommend the Adco Olefin HD All-Climate RV Cover for Travel Trailer, # AD37ZR. This cover will provide protection for your 2019 Dutchmen Coleman Light LX Travel Trailer, 1601EXP from rain, dirt, wind, and sun. This works great for long-term storage in all climates.

• Landing Gear Jack Set Solution for 2020 Dutchman Atlas
• The weld stops of your 2020 Dutchman Atlas are not the standard dimensions which is pretty rare but what you can do is go with the Stromberg Carlson Electric landing gear set part # LG-1 and have the included brackets welded to your RV in the location correct locations. There isn't a set available that uses same dimensions as what you mentioned.

• Hitch Adapter For Carrying Bike Rack & Towing Trailer
• We do have an option for you to carry your bike rack while towing your trailer, though the part number you mentioned is not designed or rated for use with trailer towing, just flat towing (trailer towing has higher tongue weights than flat towing). So what you can use instead is a dual ball mount/hitch adapter: - Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount with 2" Receiver # D210 The # D210 has capacities of 7,500 lbs towing/750 lbs tongue weight so it's more than enough for towing your trailer and...

• Adding Disc brakes To A Fifth Wheel With 7K Axles With 6 on 5-1/2" Bolt Pattern
• We do recommend switching over to an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern when adding disc brakes to a 7K axle. All of the 6 lug disc brake kits are going to be rated for 6K and under. For a full disc brake conversion I recommend the Hydrastar Conversion Kit # HSE7K-T1. This is a complete kit, so you get everything you will need to convert your 7K electric brake axles over to disc. This uses the # 25580 and # 14125A bearings which are basically standard for 7K axles. The only thing you will need...

• Replacement Axle for a 2016 Dutchmen Aerolite Travel Trailer
• It looks like your 2016 Dutchmen Aerolite Travel Trailer uses 3500-lb axles, so we have an option for you. We don't sell axles that meet the length specifications of your current axle, but you can instead use on of our Timbren Axle-less Suspension systems. These replace suspension and eliminate the need for an axle since they mount directly to the frame. If you choose one of those, then you will need to know your hubs, bearing, races, and seals numbers to ensure compatibility. A good...

• Recommended Spare Tire Carrier for a 2005 Dutchmen Tab Trailer
• The LP tank does make it a little more difficult, but not impossible. I will say that the Ultra-Fab Folding Carrier # UF15-954730 will fit a 4" x 4" tube, so if the part of the A-Frame you want this to attach to matches this size, I do recommend it. The 60 pound capacity and ability to carry 5, 6, and 8 lug wheels, it is very versatile. That being said, if the frame is 3" x 4" or 3" x 5", I suggest going with the Dutton-Lainson Offset Trailer Spare Tire Carrier # DL22120. The bottom of...

• Recommended Ramps To Load My 2,500 Lbs Smart Car On My 48" High Toy Hauler
• The Gen-Y Hitch Aluminum Loading Ramp Set - 144" Long x 15" Wide - 8,000 lbs, part # GH54FR, is the best option we have for you to load your smart car on a trailer that is 48" high. Unfortunately, we do not offer a version of this ramp that folds. The longest folding aluminum ramp we offer is the Arched Loading Ramp Set - Center Fold - Aluminum - 90" x 18" - 3K, part # 288-07432-2. This set of ramps has a weight limit of 3,000 lbs. These ramps would have to be at a very steep angle to...
