  • Troubleshooting An Everchill RV Refrigerator That Freezes Up
  • If your Everchill RV Refrigerator w/ Freezer # EV77FR is freezing up then I have the following troubleshooting recommendations: 1. First you'll need to thaw out the drain line. Turn off the power running to the fridge and leave the doors open so that the ice will melt. Once the ice is melted you can remove the lower back panel to gain access to the drain line and can ensure that it's clear using a pipe cleaner brush. 2. Check the temperature settings and lower them. 3. Check the ground...

  • How High Do You Place The Top Of The Handle For the Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle # AM-300?
  • The Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle # AM-300 does not require a specific height where it must be mounted. Typically you will mount the top handle just above the door handle or in place of the upper mounting holes on your factory grab handle. This will help to reduce any visible holes after the new handle is installed. I recommend also checking with how the handle feels going out of the camper and down the steps as this is generally when the handle is most important. You want to be able...

  • Can I Install the Lippert Ground Control TT on a 2021 Forest River Salem Cruise Lite 263BHXL
  • Yes. The sub-model of your trailer won't affect the compatibility and the Electric Ground Control TT Automatic 5-Point Travel Trailer Leveling System - 10,000 lbs # LC672136 is designed to be used on travel trailers with a GVWR less than 10,000-lbs. The 2021 Sale Cruise Lite 263BHXL has a GVWR of almost 8,000-lbs, so it's the perfect size to add the Ground Control TT system and it'll do a great job of helping level your 263BHXL. I've linked a review and installation video of this system...

  • Can A Furrion Camera Be Paired With An Amtifo Monitor
  • Furrion branded cameras are only compatible with Furrion branded monitors so you would need to use one of the follow monitor sizes to sync the camera too; Replacement 4.3" Monitor for Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Camera System # FR77FR. Replacement 5" Monitor for Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Camera System # FR97FR. Replacement 7" Monitor for Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Camera System # FR47FR. If you plan on upgrading to 4 camera inputs I recommend going with the 5" or 7" as the 4.3"...

  • How To Tell If Spindle Is Overloaded
  • It depends on how many axles you have. If you have two axles then yes it would be overloaded because that would be 7,000 pounds. If you have three axles you would be fine. Depending on what your bolt pattern is I would go up in axle capacity and put on a new axle like The Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles # 8327816. Changing the spindle would not help. The axle is 5,200 pounds and has an inner bearing # 25580 and an outer bearing # LM67048. The axle is 86-1/2 inches hub-face-to-hub-face...

  • Bike Rack for E Bikes on RV
  • Sounds like you want to put two bikes weighing 60 pounds each on the back of your trailer. First you need to contact Forest River to see what your bumper is rated to hold. If it is rated for two sixty pound bikes you could use the Swagman # S80600 bike rack. All of the remaiing racks are not rated for 120 pounds.

  • What is Bolt Pattern of Trailer Wheel with 14 inch Diameter
  • Normally this would be a difficult question to answer but since 14 inch trailer wheels all have the same bolt pattern of 5 on 4-1/2 inch I am able to help. For a wheel that is 14 inch in diameter and has a width of 6 inches we have the part # 460545MBPVD as well.

  • Troubleshooting A Furrion DV3100 RV Stereo That Won't Tune To Odd Numbered Stations
  • I recommend first unmounting the stereo and pulling the fuse located on the back of the stereo to reset it. With this being such a specific issue if resetting the unit doesn't fix it then it will most likely need to be replaced. If this is the case then I recommend the Jensen RV Stereo part # JWM70A to replace your Furrion DV3100 RV Stereo. They both have very similar features such as Bluetooth, USB/AUX Ports, and Wireless Remote but the Jensen option is a bit better built in my experience...

  • Correct Wheel Covers for a 2019 Forest River Salem Cruise Lite 171RBXL with 205/75-14 Tires
  • The correct Classic Accessories Dual-Axle RV Wheel Cover for your 2019 Forest River Salem Cruise Lite 171RBXL is part # CA80109, not part # CA80110 which would be much too big as they are for 30" diameter tires and your 205/75-14 tires are 26.1" diameter.

  • How to Choose Correct Weight Rating for Trailer Tire
  • When you're looking at the weight rating for trailer tires you want to make sure the individual tire rating is at least half the weight rating of the axle it will installed on (since you'll have 2 of that tire on an axle). Since the axle is a huge factor in the weight rating if your tires are rated for at least that much then you're good to go. For example, the Westlake ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 15" Black Spoke Wheel # WST44FR you were looking at has a load rating of D which is...

  • Picking MorRyde CRE 3000 for 2021 Forest River Salem 263BHXL
  • You'll have to measure the distance between your trailer axle centers to determine which MorRyde CRE 3000 you'd need. You'd want the part # MR27ZR if you have 35 inches between axles or part # MR87ZR if you have 33 inches between them.

  • Converting a 2010 Forest River Salem Travel Trailer To Hydraulic Disc Brakes
  • This will need to be pieced together to build you an entire kit. First the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 8-213-5UC1 will replace your current brake and hub assemblies on your 2010 Forest River Salem 336QBUD. This will let you remove the brake rotors separately from the hub for service or replacement. I recommend a Bearing Buddy # BB2441SS to make greasing your bearings easily done without having to remove your hub. I recommend the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R526S for your Salem....

  • TLA8103 Fitment on my 2018 Forest River Salem Cruise Lite 263BHXL
  • Yes the TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps w/ Landing Gear part # TLA8103 will work out well for you. Your entry height is right at the minimum meaning you will have shorter steps which is what you are looking for. You are likely closer to the 28-30" range because they go from the bottom of the door rather than the top of the step bracket itself. . They are also quite easy to operate when compared to a standard steel step. I have linked a video for you on them to check out if you...
