  • Option to Replace Fan-Tastic Roof Vent 6500/410 With Remote
  • We have spoken to Fan-Tastic Vent about this issue in the past, and they have confirmed that there are no replacement remotes available for the 6500 model as it's no longer in production. So if you want to still use your existing fan but also wanted a remote, they said what you can use is the Fan-Tastic Vent 7350 Series Upgrade Kit # FV807359. However, this is similar to getting a brand-new vent, so you can go that route, with a number of different options. For a powered lift with a remote...

  • How to Determine if I Can Make a 90 Degree Turn with a 5th Wheel Trailer and a Dodge Ram Mega Cab
  • I know turning clearance can be a problem with the Megacab models of the Ram trucks. We do not carry any automatic sliding hitches at this time, only manual slide hitches, but we often find that sliding fifth wheel hitches do not always cut it when it comes to the Ram trucks with the Megacab due to the bed and cab size. Typically, a Sidewinder pin box and a fixed fifth wheel hitch is required to safely make a 90 degree turn with these trucks, especially if the trailer does not have the...

  • Is Camco Vinyl Spare Tire Cover # CAM45346 Open or Enclosed on the Rear Side
  • The Camco Vinyl Spare Tire Cover # CAM45346 is enclosed on one of its side surfaces. This tire cover is intended for use on spare tires. It is not intended to be used on an installed wheel on a vehicle that is going to be moved. I do not suggest using any tire cover product while the vehicle is moving as it is possible that the cover could be entangled in brake or suspension components. If you'd care to give me more details about your particular application, I might be able to find a suitable...

  • Aero Bar Style Roof Rack for 2011 Toyota Tacoma
  • If you have a naked roof on your 2011 Toyota Tacoma the Rhino Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack is a nice option. The locks included with the roof rack system are for the covers on the legs of the roof rack. Once the roof rack has been fit to the roof of your Tacoma you place the locking cover in place so the roof rack cannot be removed from the vehicle. To order this roof rack you will need part # RRVA137B-2, part # RRRLKVA, and part # DK046. I have included a link to an in-depth product review...

  • Can Grand Design Reflection Go From 16 Inch Wheels & Tires to 17-1/2 Inch
  • It is possible for your 2021 Grand Design Reflection 303RLS to go from 16 inch to 17-1/2 inch wheels and tires, yes. You currently have a hub with a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern, and since you mentioned replacing the suspension you would need one that had a hub with an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern. Your Grand Design currently has ST235/80R16 size tires, and if you went with 17-1/2 inch wheels the overall tire size would actually decrease slightly if you went to 215/75R17.5 tires (from 30.9" diameter/9.4"...

  • Options For Replacing Factory Trailer Wiring On A 2006 Chevy Silverado
  • If you want to replace just the 7 way plug on the back we do offer a replacement for the factory 7 way plug in part # 30955. This will plug in to the factory harness and give you a 4 way and 7 way plug. If you are wanting to completely replace the factory harness, we can offer you a wiring setup that would hardwire into the vehicles harness. For a 4 flat connector you can install the # 119178KIT. If you want to upgrade it to a 7 way you can add on the # ETBC7 Kit. This will be everything...

  • Is There A Grommet Available To Go With The Optronics Dragons Eye LED Lights
  • You are correct in that Optronics does not make a gasket to go with their line of dragons eye LED lights. If you are wanting marker lights with a grommet or gasket we do have the Optronics micro flex LEDs # AL191AB in amber and # AL191RB in red. These can be brackets that come in either black # A91BB or chrome # A91CB.

  • Can Valve Stem of Aluminum Viking Series Valhalla Trailer Wheel Handle 120 psi
  • A cold psi of 120 is absolutely no problem for the Aluminum Viking Series Valhalla Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6-1/2" - 8 on 6-1/2 # AX02665865HDBMMFL. Reason why is the valve stem that comes with this wheel is part # AM20906 which is rated for 200 psi so you're set to use this wheel with your tires. As for all trailer axles with 8 lugs having an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern, the answer is technically no as there is the uncommon 8 on 275 mm for dually set ups. But that is really something you'd...

  • Is the Hopkins 12-Volt Socket Assembly # HM55125 Waterproof
  • The Hopkins 12-Volt Socket Assembly, part # HM55125, is weatherproof construction, which means it will protect the contents from the rain and other bad weather conditions. It is not waterproof because to be considered as waterproof the socket would have to be submerged under water and have no leakage into the inside.

  • Do All Hitch Receivers for 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Include Wiring Harness Bracket
  • The Draw-Tite Class III hitch receiver for the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland that you referenced, part # 75699, does include a convenient trailer wiring bracket mounting plate. This feature is not universally offered on all OEM or after-market hitches. On this hitch you can use a 7-way bracket such as Draw-Tite # 18138, which includes hardware. For instances where other hitches without this feature are used, we offer a variety of brackets for 4-pole and other types of trailer connector...

  • Noise Level And Weight Of Magnaflow Exhaust System On 2007 G35 Coupe
  • I spoke with my contact at Magnaflow about your 2007 Infiniti G35 Coupe. They told me that the Stainless Steel Cat-Back Exhaust System, part # MF16641 is not much louder than the stock system it replaces. They told me that there is a small change in the pitch but an insignificant change in the noise level. This system is designed to increase horsepower and torque and is constructed of stainless steel. They also told me that this system weighs quite a lot less than the stock system installed...

  • Ground Clearances Of Class II and III Hitches for 2014 Honda Odyssey
  • When we installed the Draw-Tite Class III # 75270 and the Curt Class III # C13068 on a 2014 Honda Odyssey, we found that the distance from the bottom of the receiver tube to the ground of both hitches is right at 10-1/2 inches. The Curt Class II you mentioned, part # C12031 offers slightly more clearance at 11-1/2 inches. Low ground clearance is kind of the nature of the beast with the Odyssey. Using a hitch mounted roller like part # UF48-979020 might be a good idea for you. The roller...

  • Can the Receiver on Curt Multi-Ball Adjustabal Ball Mount D900 Be Reversed for Storage
  • I went out to the warehouse and tried to reverse the receiver on the # D900 Curt adjustable ball mount, and it cannot be turned around. The brace between the shank and the adjustment platform prevents the receiver from sliding on far enough for the pin holes to line up. You would still have the option of removing just the receiver section to save your shins. We have a ballmount bag, part # ETBMB, that you could use to store the pins and receiver when not in use. This would allow you...

  • What Size Lube Plate for B and W Patriot 16K 5th Wheel Hitch
  • We offer both 10-inch and 12-inch fifth wheel lube plates. The 10-inch diameter is part # RP83002 and the 12-inch is part # RP83001. My contact at B and W indicated either size is acceptable. The best way to check for ideal fit is to measure out from the bottom center of the king pin half the plate diameters (5 and 6 inches). These are the points where the edges of the 10-inch and 12-inch plates will reach when fitted to the king pin. If the edges of the 12-inch plate will stick out...

  • Do Kenda Karrier ST 175/80R13 Trailer Wheels/Tires, Part # AM31951, Come Pre-Balanced
  • The Kenda Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Wheel/Tire, part # AM31951, is not fully dynamically balanced when the tire is mounted. Full dynamic balancing of trailer tires is less critical than for passenger vehicle tires, where a severe out-of-balance condition could be noticeable. However, Kenda does match the low spot of the tire with the high spot of the wheel when mounting them to achieve a partial balance.
