Recommended RV Storage Cover For A 2015 Forest River Rockwood Freedom Camper
The length I'm seeing for your 2015 Forest River Rockwood Freedom Camper 1970 while closed is 15.25' so the correct cover for your application would be the Classic Accessories PolyPro III Deluxe RV Cover for Pop Up Campers up to 16' Long # CA80041. We rate this cover to be better quality than the Camco UltraGuard Pop-Up Camper Cover - 14'-16' Long # CAM45764 you were looking at so you can get a longer lasting cover. This cover is designed with moisture control in mind, and will help allow...

Replacement Wheel for 2004 Rockwood 1640LTD Pop Up with Higher Weight Capacity
The Dexstar trailer wheel part # AM20149 that you referenced does have the 1,520 lb weight capacity that you are wanting. This does use the larger valve stem hole diameter but you can use the Americana Metal valve stems part # AM20906 which can actually fit both sizes.

Electric Trailer Jack Recommendation for a 2015 Forest River Rockwood Freedom 2280
On any trailer jack (let alone electric trailer jack) I've seen the outer tube is a consistent diameter. The only time the tube changes diameter is when you go from the outer tube to the inner tube, so it sounds like you'll need to cut open that lower opening just a little more. For an electric trailer jack I recommend the etrailer # EJ-3520-BBX if you have a battery bank on your 2015 Rockwood Freedom you want to tie it into, or the Buyers Products # 3370093500 if you don't have a battery...

2012 Rockwood Pop Up Trailer Baggage Door Lock Cylinder
On your 2012 Rockwood pop up trailer you will not have a replacement key option. The Replacement Cam Lock Cylinder for RVs - Keyed Alike Option - Stainless Steel - 1-3/4" Long # 295-000077 you asked from is an option. You will simply want to measure the cylinder from front to back to get the length. We also have 1-1/8" Long # 295-000004 and 1-3/8" Long # 295-000005.

Replacement Bearing Kit, Bearing Buddy, and Brake Assembly
To ensure we get you the correct parts, you will need to pull one of your hubs of your axle and get the bearing number on both the inner and outer bearing and the seal on the back. The numbers are printed right on the face of each of these components. Those numbers will help me get you the correct replacement parts. Bearings are very specific sizes, so this will help us get exactly what you need. If you can't get the numbers off the bearings due to bearing failure, then you can measure...

How to Find Replacement Brakes and Hubs for 2005 Rockwood Freedom
There are quite a few models of the 2005 Rockwood Freedom and since it is older there is no specific information about your axle. I'm assuming you're saying you have a 2,750 lb axle, which likely uses # L44649 bearings. You will need to double check this. If you find the serial number on your axle tag the axle manufacturer should have the bearing information. Otherwise you will need to pull and measure the inner diameter. If that is what you have, the closest thing for a hub and drum...

How to Determine if the SportRack Pop-Up Camper Roof Rack Fits a 2022 Forest River Rockwood Pop-Up
The SportRack Pop-Up Camper Roof Rack # SR1020 will fit your 2022 Forest River Rockwood Freedom pop-up trailer as long as your trailer is not wider than 85-1/2" and does not have rounded or curved edges. From what I could find on your 2022 Forest River Rockwood Freedom 1940 LTD pop-up trailer, it is 84" wide, so you would be good there. I was not able to locate any solid information about the edges, but we do show the rack as a compatible fit for your camper.

Will the Xtreme Off-Road Ratcheting Trailer Jack Work On an Incline and Does it Have a Brake
I do have an option for you but the Xtreme Off-Road Ratcheting Trailer Jack part # ORJW1SU isn't quite cutout out for what you're wanting. Instead, I recommend the Trailer Valet 5X Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover part # STC-V211 which is rated for more weight, is easier to move the trailer with, and has a brake. It can also handle slight inclines and slopes. The really neat feature is that you can use a power drill to move the trailer with the Drill Attachment part # TVDA.

Is Extra Grease Needed When Installing the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3.5K Axles
The Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K comes pre-lubed which means the bearings are already packed for you but you would still want to add extra grease to the spindle and then fill the hubs as needed prior to use. If you don't already have some compatible grease I would simply recommend ordering the Marine Wheel Bearing Grease part # L154FR which comes in 3-3oz cartridges that you can use with or without a grease gun. The color of the grease won't matter as far as compatibility...

How To Choose the Correct Ball Mount for a 2018 VW Atlas
In order to choose the correct ball mount for a trailer you first need to measure the distance from ground to the top inside edge of the trailer hitch on the vehicle while level. Then, measure the distance from the ground to the bottom of the coupler on the trailer while level. The difference between these two measurements is the amount of rise/drop you need to look for in a ball mount. If the trailer is higher than the vehicle then you need a rise or if the trailer is lower than the vehicle...

Replacement Wheels and Tires For a 2011 Forest River Rockwood Freedom 1970 Pop Up Camper
I recommend using the Kenda Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire with 13" Black Mod Wheel # AM31990 on your 2011 Forest River Rockwood Freedom 1970 pop up camper. These tires are the heavier rated D range which is good for up to 1,610lbs per tire. The Tire # AM1ST77 itself also carries a 5-year warranty from the manufacturer. Since you only have the 1-1/2" of clearance I cannot recommend moving to a larger size wheel or tire. Be sure to use some Tire Covers # 290-3974 to protect the...

Upgrading Wheels and Tires On a 2021 Forest River Rockwood 1940LTD Travel Trailer
I recommend just changing the tires to the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10130 on your 2021 Forest River Rockwood 1940LTD. This will allow you to maintain your same wheels and tire clearance that you currently have. They have a speed rating of 81 MPH (M) and a load rating D for 1,220lbs per tire. If you would rather have the 13" aluminum wheel, the Aluminum Hi-Spec Series S5 Trailer Wheel - 13" x 5" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Silver # AM22323HWT, would go nicely with...

Roof Cargo Carrier Recommendation for Popup Camper Roof Rack
For your application I recommend going with the Inno Shaper 100 # IN569 if your roof rack has square bars, or the Inno Roof Deck Platform Rack # INA510 if you have any other style of crossbars. These cargo carriers have an aluminum construction so if water happens to get inside the bars it won't rust like the steel carriers do. The Shaper 100 weighs in at 17.4 lbs and has a weight capacity of 110 lbs which will be perfect for you since the weight of the cargo basket will factor in to the...

How to Determine Correct Bearing Kit For 2005 Rockwood 1940LTD Trailer
I'm sure we have a bearing kit for your 2005 Rockwood 1940LTD Trailer, though we don't have any way of knowing off-hand or cross-referencing what bearings you need. So in order to find the correct kit you will need to take apart your current hub assembly and look at the bearings themselves; wipe away the grease and you should be able to see the part number stamped directly on them. If you are unable to find them, you need to use a digital caliper and measure your spindle where the bearings...

What Cargo Basket do You Recommend for My Crossbars on My 2017 Forest River Flagstaff 228D?
If you have crossbars on your 2017 Forest River Flagstaff 228D popup camper that have a crossbar spread of 24 inches, a great basket option is the Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket - 57" Long x 42" Wide # RMCB02. Since the basket measures 57 inches long x 42 inches wide, you have plenty of space to mount your cargo bag. Your crossbar spread also fits within the compatibility range of the basket. The basket also comes with a black powder coat that resists rust and corrosion. Without...

Forest River Powerwinch Switch Boot
The Pollak # PK25370 is designed to fit a standard toggle switch which is what appears to be on your winch. It is compatible with switches that have a 15/32 or .4688 diameter threaded mounting stem. If you have access to a digital caliper like # PTW80157, it'll be easy to get that diameter off your existing switch. Unfortunately, RV's and campers aren't like passenger vehicles that have a ready reference that tells you which model uses these parts. If you could reply with the model number...

Could Lippert Power Stance Electric Jack Fit 2016 Forest River Freedom
