  • Which Sumo Springs for Rear Suspension of 2020 Thor Outlaw 38MB on Ford F-53 Chassis
  • The SumoSprings Maxim helper springs you'd looked at, part # SSR-187-54-1 would be a fit for your 26K GVWR Thor Outlaw 38MB. The springs will provide 7000 lbs of support, and will do a great job of reducing body roll and sway. I've linked you to a video where my buddy Shane will show how the SumoSprings are installed.

  • Front Axle Springs For A 2002 Ford F-53 Without Striker Plates
  • Though The Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System # TFFF53B is confirmed to fit your 2002 Ford F-53 It would not work properly without the striker plate that is on top of the leaf spring. I recommend The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57140. This kit installs between your vehicle's frame and its leaf springs. The air springs have a 5,000 pound capacity and are constructed of 2-ply, fabric-reinforced rubber. They have an adjustable air pressure between 5 psi - 100...

  • Is The Metric-To-Standard Brake Line Tee Included In The Second Motor Home Kit For F-53 Chassis?
  • If your motorhome brake line has metric fittings, it will be necessary to use a metric-to-standard T-fitting to attach the proportioning valve. This fitting is not supplied in the RoadMaster BrakeMaster Second RV Kit for Hydraulic Brakes # RM-98300. Before you install the kit, you need to identify the size of the metric brake line. If it is 10mm you can use the Roadmaster Metric-to-Standard Brake Line Tee # RM-7923. If it's 12mm, you can use the Roadmaster Metric-to-Standard Brake Line...

  • Connection Port for Tekonsha Prodigy Brake Controller # 90885 on 2011 Thor Hurricane on F-53 Frame
  • On a 2011 Ford F-53 chassis there is a brake controller connection port but it is not in the usual location under the dash (near the emergency brake pedal) as on Ford pickup trucks. The brake controller port is located directly behind the instrument cluster near other connectors, and perhaps slightly to the right of the steering column. It is not easy to get to but it is there. Ford has a document Q-206 with pictures that should help. The quick connect harness for your F-53 is part # 3035-P.

  • Recommended Replacement Ladder for 2018 Thor Challenger 37 FH with Indent on Rear
  • The Stromberg Carlson # LA-401BA has a hinge that can be installed where the two ladder pieces join, which can help with any odd shapes on the rear of your coach. These are typically used on travel trailers but they can also be used on Class A or Class C RVs. I've linked a photo for you to have a look at that shows how flexible the ladder is. The Surco # SP501L is also hinged and is 97" long and might also work. I've linked our entire selection of ladders for you to check out, as well.

  • Blue Ox Tiger Trak Trac Bars for 2001 National Dolphin Motorhome
  • For the front Tiger Trak track bar, use # TT2403 for the V10 engine model and # TT2404 for the V8 model. Blue Ox doesn't list a rear trac bar fit for your 2001 F53 chassis, so I'd recommend using a Roadmaster anti-sway bar, part # RM-1139-143 for coaches less than 34 feet long or # 1139-144 for coaches 34 feet or longer. Both a track bar and an anti-sway bar will keep the rear axle rigidly in place so it's perpendicular to the frame.

  • Recommended Front Hitch Solution for 2006 Ford F-53 Chassis on 2007 Damon Daybreak RV
  • I may have a solution for you, but there is not a custom front hitch available for the 2006 F-53 chassis. Instead, you could likely make the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs part # C13702 or the Curt Adjustable Width 2" drop Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs part # C13701 work. These are supposed to be mounted on the rear of an RV but they could potentially be installed on the front frame. If the frame is not close enough to the bottom of the camper body part # C13702...
