  • Replacement for Atwood Landing Gear on 2004 Fleetwood Wilderness 5th Wheel Trailer
  • I reached out to my contact at Lippert who said that the Atwood line has been discontinued and they don't have any replacement parts for it. Since this is the case you'll need to replace your Atwood jack. Was this for the landing gear or for a stabilizer jack? If you can let me know this I can recommend a replacement for you.

  • Trailer Light Wiring Harness Option for a BMw I3
  • Generally when there is not an option available here and from manufacturers, there just isn't sufficient demand to justify creating a plug-in solution since vehicles like the i3 aren't as widely used to tow. A universal option like the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT will be your best bet for the i3 since it does not require any cutting or splicing of the vehicles harness. I have included the review and installation videos for this part for additional information...

  • How to Raise Suspension of Trailer that Has Slipper Springs
  • Since one end of a slipper spring is suspended instead of bolted to a hanger or shackle strap the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit part # K71-385-00 and other likes them are considered unsafe for slipper springs. The only other option to raise the trailer is to replace the spring hangers on your trailer with longer ones. This will raise the trailer frame relative to the axle which can alter the handling so keep that in mind. I have attached a link to the slipper spring...

  • Replacement for Rola Convoy 1-Bike Rack
  • Rola discontinued their line of bike racks a while ago so while I do have a solution for you to continue carrying your bike, I unfortunately don't have a replacement part for you. Instead I recommend swapping your bike rack out to the RockyMounts MonoRail Solo Bike Rack # RKY10007 instead. This uses the same style of front wheel hook system to secure the bike to the rack and will work great as an alternative. Attached is a review video for you to check out.

  • Best 5th Wheel Cover for a 2012 Winnebago Lite Five 28FWBHS
  • The best cover for any trailer out there is the Adco Olefin HD RV Cover # AD49ZR because it's the most durable on the market, it has breathable side panels to eliminate moisture build-up, built-in vents to prevent much billowing, plus it has zippered panels so you can access the inside of your 2012 Winnebago Lite Five 28FWBHS without having to remove the cover. Some additional perks of this cover include the 3-year warranty, and weighted straps (which make passing the straps under the...

  • Stereo Recommendation for 2013 Heartland 3070RL 5th Wheel with 3-Zone and Surround Sound System
  • Thank you for all of the information! While we don't have any stereos designed specifically for surround sound, we do have the systems like the iRV Stereo # 292-101809 that you referenced which have 6 speaker outputs that are built for a 3-zone system (2 front, 2 middle, 2 rear) as well as subwoofer outputs. Surround sound systems tend to have their own output system so you should only need provisions for the left/right sound and the sub for your surround sound system to operate properly....

  • Can Motor be Added to 8,000 lb Bulldog Tandem Landing Gear Set 500162
  • There is an option for 8,000 lb electric landing gear, although the Bulldog Tandem Landing Gear Set # BD500162 does not have a motor available specifically for it and there isn't one that is known to work, so it does require the use of Manual Override Crank for Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer Jacks # BD500203 for operation.

  • Front SumoSprings For 2018 Tiffin Allegro 32SA
  • Everything I am seeing about a 2018 Tiffin Allegro 32SA is that it has a 24,000 lb chassis, so you'll want to verify what your chassis GVWR is before ordering. Here are the options for both the 22k and 24k front SumoSprings, with the right one depending on your chassis GVWR: - 22,000 lb Chassis: SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs - Front Axle # SSF-170-40-2 - 24,000 lb Chassis: SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs - Front Axle # SSF-173-40-2

  • How To Determine Which Tow Bars Will Fit a 2021 Jeep Wrangler With Base Plate Installed
  • Jim, I would need to know exactly what base you have. Sometimes you will be able to find a tag or information stamped into the mounting bracket. If you can't find anything please send me images of your setup and I will see if I can verify the parts based on what you have. Also did your base include the arms?

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation For 2017 Subaru Outback to Tow Small Camper
  • Hi John; I'd definitely get a frame-mounted hitch for your 2017 Subaru Outback to tow a small camper. I'm not aware of a bumper-mounted hitch for your Outback, but if there were one I definitely wouldn't trust it for towing purposes. There are two options for a hitch on your '17 Outback, depending on if you want a concealed crosstube or visible crosstube: - Visible Crosstube: Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13206 - Hidden Crosstube: Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13410 Another thing you'll...

  • What is The Speed Rating For The Kenda 165/65-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel # AM3H200?
  • The Kenda 165/65-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel # AM3H200 is going to be limited up to 65mph. Do understand the Tire # AM1HP22 is the limiting factor and not the Wheel # AM20011. This is the only tire we currently have in this size but you may be able to find one with a higher speed rating locally if you need more than the 65mph the tire is capable of.

  • Availability Of Goosebox Replacement For A Reese Revolultion 16K Pin Box
  • The Reese 16K Revolution pin box is uniquely designed and it can only be replaced with another 16K Revolution pin box. There is no Reese Goosebox that will replace this. It is possible to connect this pin box to a gooseneck hitch using an adapter like the Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter # AM3100. In order to use this adapter the revolution pin box will need to be locked out to prevent the turret from rotating. You can see this detailed in the attached picture.

  • Where Does Red Wire on 4-Way Attach on Trailer
  • Since you're looking at 4-way wiring I'm assuming you have a wishbone style harness with an extra red wire. I would expect you to have the standard green, yellow, brown and white like the # 16-4B-1. The brown and red will go to the running lights on either side of the trailer. If you have a 5-way with an actuator it is possible this is a wire running to a reverse lockout solenoid. If you're referring to something else entirely I would be happy to help you figure it out if you can provide...

  • Custom Wedge for Curt Turning Point and B&W Companion in 2018 Silverado 2500
  • The correct wedge for your setup is the # SWW-06. However, you will want to make sure you do not engage the slider function on your # BWRVK3770 since you have the Curt Turning Point. If you would rather cut down on the weight of the 5th wheel hitch you could actually sell the slider and swap it out with the # BWRVK3700 since the rotating pin box gives you the clearance you need without a slider.

  • Hydrastar Disc Brake Kit For a 2018 Grand Design Momentum Triple Axle Toy Hauler With 7,000LB Axles
  • I reached out to Hydrastar and they are very familiar with disc brakes on your 2018 Grand Design Momentum toy hauler. They said Grand Design typically gets their axles with 9/16" studs of which we only have the Hydrastar Disc Brake Kit w/ Actuator for Triple Axle Trailers # HYD54FR you found. These have the integral hub/rotor selection and we do not have any slip on options for the 9/16" studs. The studs which come on these hubs are going to be long enough for your factory wheels.

  • Towing Mirror Options For a 2018 Toyota Tacoma Which Doesn't Use Straps
  • I am unable to locate any custom fit towing mirror extensions for your 2019 Toyota Tacoma. We do have the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors # CM11980-2 which are designed to clamp onto the mirror housing rather than strap on like the Mirrors # 7070-2.
