  • Wiring Solution to Match 2004 Lance In-Bed Camper with Truck 7-Way Socket
  • Hey Mike, thanks for reaching out! I don't know why Lance chose to make their own unique connector but I do know that it's been a pain point for Lance camper owners for quite a while. We actually recommend cutting off the Lance connector and replacing it with a standard 7-Way like the Hopkins # H20046 so the connector will match perfectly with your 2011 Ford F-350 Super Duty 7-way socket. Just be sure you wire the Hopkins wiring to the correct function instead of trying to match wires...

  • 2022 Hyundai Kona Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation
  • Hi K, thanks for reaching out! Thule actually doesn't list out any trunk rack fits for your 2022 Hyundai Kona, and while Thule doesn't post the reasons why racks don't fit, from my experience it has to do with where exactly the rack will place pressure on the vehicle. A great alternative to the Thule Gateway Pro 2 Bike Rack # TH88VR is the Yakima FullBack # Y02634. The FullBack is arguably my favorite rack we carry because of how sleek it looks and how easy it is to use. I've actually...

  • Trailer Hitch for 1994 International Bus
  • Welding is going to be the only option for your 1994 International bus. There are no custom fit hitches available for a bolt-on installation. I recommend using the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch # 41990. You can have custom brackets made or you can get # 41990-07 with 7" brackets or # 41990-16 with 16" brackets. This is a Class V hitch with a 2" receiver and a max gross trailer weight of 16,000 lbs.

  • Recommended Air Springs for a 2016 Ford F-250 With a B&W Turnoverball Hitch
  • Hey Daniel, for your 2016 Ford F-250 I recommend checking out the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL57596 for 4WD models or # AL57395 for 2WD models. These air springs will work just fine with your Turnoverball, has up to 5,000 lbs of load leveling support so you'll have plenty of capacity while you're towing or hauling, and has an adjustable air pressure range of 5 to 100 PSI. You're also going to need a compressor system in which I suggest going with the Air...

  • Recommended 5 Lug Timbren Axle-Less System for 13" Trailer Tires
  • The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension # ASR2KHDS09 you're looking at is actually not going to work with your trailer tires since this kit is only going to work with trailer wheels that are 16" or larger. So, instead I'd recommend going with the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension w Electric Brakes # A35RS545E. This is also an axle-less system that has a 3.5K capacity, a 5 on 4 1/2 bolt pattern, will work with 16" wheels or smaller, and Includes hubs (with bearings, races, and seals)...

  • Will The Phoenix Faucets RV Shower Valve with Brass Fittings Replace the Plastic Fitting Version?
  • The Phoenix Faucets RV Shower Valve with Brass Fittings # PF213321 is a much better option than the Plastic Fittings # PF223242. With the issues the one person was having it makes me think there is something else going on that being the real reason they had to keep replacing the cartridge. It could have been very harsh water and they weren't using an inline filter or it may have been damaged but that is not something we have regularly seen.

  • Air Bag Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 Adaptive Ride Control
  • Hey Mike, the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2609 are compatible with your 2020 GMC Sierra Denali 1500 4wd having the adaptive ride control. The adaptive ride control uses sensors to monitor the wheel position with the body and adjusts rebound and dampening on the shocks to give a better ride. There isn't an Air Lift brand kit that works with the adaptive ride control though. In general we recommend the Firestone kits the most as they have proven to have the highest quality air bags.

  • Best Hitch Pin Lock for 2-1/2 inch Trailer Hitch
  • Hey Dave, I really like the InfiniteRule Hitch lock part # 34061072-D that you referenced for a 2-1/2 inch hitch. It's made of stainless steel and also in the US, plus our customers have let us know how much they like it so it would work great for you. The only other option I would recommend considering is the Master Lock part # 1469DAT as it has a 90 degree lock cylinder which can be easier to access if the area around the hitch pin is tight. This is also made of stainless steel.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution For 35' Travel Trailer with 1,050LBS Tongue Weight to Prevent Sway
  • Honestly Tim, there is nothing on the B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System # BW28FR which provides any type of sway prevention. They rely on the fact that the truck will remain level which reduces trailer sway. Personally I recommend using the Equal-i-zer # EQ37140ET as this system has proven itself to be one of the best for decades. It still continues to be the system everyone tries to compete with and claims to be better than. It uses a friction type sway and camber built into the...

  • Weight Distribution Hitch Recommendation For a 2002 Thor Tahoe Toy Hauler
  • Hello Laura, you came to the right place, and I can definitely point you in the right direction. When selecting a weight distribution hitch, the main factor to consider is the loaded tongue weight of the trailer. Each weight distribution hitch will have specified tongue weight range, and we want to be sure your trailer will be within that range. That way you will get good effective weight distribution and sway control. Can you tell me the sub model of your 2002 Thor Tahoe? That or tell...

  • Should Stromberg Carlson Motor LG-142178 be Replaced With Same Model
  • Hey there Scott; I do recommend replacing your 142178 with the same option, the Replacement Motor for Stromberg Carlson Electric Landing Gear # LG-142178. There isn't going to be an upgrade for you that will be a better option.

  • Can 1973 Travel Mate Camper Use ST175/80D13 Tires
  • The ST175/80D13 tire you added shouldn't be a problem. It will be slightly larger in width by about 1/4" and diameter by about 1/2" but that is unlikely to cause clearance issues. However, if you want to keep running that tire on there you should match it with the same size on the other side. The only thing I would personally do differently is switch to radial tires like the # AM10199. These are a lot better for most purposes, especially on the road, and will last longer.

  • Recommended Bike Rack Rated For RV Use With At least A 70lb Per Bike Capacity
  • Hi Tony, For your specific needs I recommend the Lets Go Aero V-Lectric FAT PRO Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # LGA77FR. This rack is rated for use on all vehicles, trailers, motorhome, etc. and has a 75lb per bike capacity. It has an adjustable base so that you can place the bikes further out if you need more space for a cargo carrier or spare tire and comes with an anti-rattle hitch pin to prevent any movement of the rack in the trailer hitch. I've attached a short video below where...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for a 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • I have a solution for you but those kind of roof racks don't work with vans because of the sliding doors. This explains why you aren't able to find any on the site. To add a roof rack to a 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan, I recommend the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Round Bars - 48" Long item # 298-SX6000B or the 60" item # SEA99FR. The Monkey Bars come with the easiest installation and removal process out of any roof rack. They suction cup to the top of your roof. Since the diameter...

  • Can Brakes Be Powered By Trailer Battery
  • It is technically possible to do this if you use a brake controller like the Curt Echo # C51180 or Prodigy RF # TK94FR but it is not recommended. If the battery on the trailer is depleted you would no longer have brakes and there would be no good way to monitor this while driving around. The best thing to do would be install a 7-way on your vehicle with the # ETBC7 so you have dedicated power to the brake controller for brake output.

  • USA Made Bearing Kit For An AL-KO 4,400 lb Axle
  • The ALKO 4,400 lb axles use the same bearing sizes as the standard 3,500 lb alxes. If you want USA made bearings, I recommend the Bearing Kit # TMK52VR. This kit comes with the Timken brand bearings which are all made here in the USA.

  • Recommended Offset Gooseneck Ball Kit for a 2024 Ram 3500
  • Hey Eric, the Curt Multi-Fit Ball Kit w/ 4" Offset for Chevy/Ford/GMC/Nissan Underbed Gooseneck Hitch # C68ZV is not going to work with your Ram, unfortunately. This one is only going to work for select YMM (Year Make Model) Ford 250-450s, GMC Sierra 2500-3500s, Chevy Silverado 2500-3500s, and Nissan Titan XDs. You'd instead want to check out the Curt RockerBall Multi-Fit Ball Kit w/ 4" Offset for Chevy/Ford/GMC/Nissan Gooseneck Hitch # C78ZV which is going to be the same thing you're...

  • What To Set Your Brake Buddy Classic 3 Brake Power Setting To
  • Hi Louis, With a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited Sport you could set the brake power on your Brake Buddy Classic 3 # HM39494 to medium. You can test drive it around a bit and see if you like how it feels. If you have a smaller motorhome and the Jeep is pushing it around then you can increase the setting. I've attached a chart below from Brake Buddy listing their recommendations based on vehicle size.
