  • Replacement Bearing Kit for Trailer Hub of Shoreland'r YAV2413SW
  • I was able to find out that your Shoreland'r has 3,500 lb drop axles so for a bearing kit that includes new seals as well you'd want the # BK2-100 which comes with everything.

  • Hitch Recommendation for a 2014 Honda Odyssey for Transporting Motorcycle
  • The highest tongue weight capacity hitch we offer for your 2014 Honda Odyssey is the Draw Tite Hitch part # 75270. This hitch has a 675 lb tongue weight capacity and would work well for towing a trailer that has your motorcycle loaded on it, but would not work to support the weight of your motorcycle plus carrier that is 500 to 600 lbs. A small trailer would be perfect for what you are looking to do. If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit #...

  • Highest Ground Clearance Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2022 Honda Odyssey
  • For your 2022 Honda Odyssey, the hitch with best ground clearance will be the Draw-Tite # 76170. This will provide about 12 inches of ground clearance under the receiver tube and since the crossbar is tucked up behind the bumper/fascia it is barely visible. Take a look at the attached image. If you get into something deep enough to drag the trailer hitch, it is probably better to do that than dragging the rear facia and damaging the body panel of your new Honda. This adds to the installation...

  • Will The Hitch From A 2004 Honda Odyssey Also Fit A 2012 Model?
  • Yes, the hitch from your 2004 Honda Odyssey would also fit a 2012 model. For example the Curt trailer hitch # C13068 will fit Honda Odyssey 1999-2017. Props to Honda for keeping their design consistent throughout the years. We can provide you with a new hardware kit if you are in need # RHK. Just enter to correct part number from your hitch before adding it to your cart. I have included a link to our install video if you want to take a look.

  • Torque Specifications Listed in the Instructions For Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, 2002 Honda Odyssey
  • For the Draw-Tite trailer hitch, # 75270, or any of the trailer hitches we carry, the torque specifications can be found after the last step in the installation instructions that are linked on the page. Because the design of a hitch could change or other such changes could be made, this could affect the torque specs. This is why we do not post them on the product pages. But we keep our instructions up to date so the specs in them will always be correct. I have also provided a link to...

  • 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...

  • Folding Cargo Carrier Compatibility with a 2013 Honda Odyssey
  • The Curt Cargo Carrier # C18151 that you referenced should work well on your 2013 Honda Odyssey in the folded down position as long as you have a hitch with a 2 inch opening like the Curt Hitch part # C13068. However, there would not be enough clearance for the carrier to fold up. This carrier has a distance of 16-1/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest rail of the carrier when folded down and 6 inches when folded up. All of the hitches available for your vehicle...

  • Parts Needed to Convert 4-Pole Connector to 7-Way For Using Brake Controller on 2012 Honda Odyssey
  • With trailer wiring more wires allow more functions. Each wire on your current 4-pole flat trailer connector carries a lighting function. Stop and turn lights are carried on one wire for each side of the trailer (yellow for left and green for right) and the running lights are carried on the brown wire. The 4th wire, the white one, is ground and this ground connection must be solidly made to the vehicle's metalwork for any function to work properly. So this setup gives you 3 functions: stop,...

  • 2015 Rockwood Freedom 1980 Roof Rack Recommendation
  • The SportRack Pop-Up Camper Roof Rack # SR1020 would work great on a Rockwood Freedom camper like yours. I would recommend using the black padding since that is the weather seal that will prevent water from entering at the installation point. Based on your dimensions the 83 length setting would be what you would want.

  • Comparing Curt and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitches for a 2015 Honda Odyssey
  • Curt decided not to design hitch # C13068 to account for those welded on pieces you referenced in order to maximize the size of the side hitch brackets. As to why they chose to go with a 5 bolt design I can't say. The Draw-Tite hitch # 75270 sounds like it is what you would like more since it accounts for those welded on pieces and attaches in 6 places. If it were me I would go with Draw-Tite hitch # 76025 for the 2015 Honda Odyssey because with it only the receiver is visible. Installation...

  • Why Does Trailer Wiring for 2015 Honda Odyssey Route Through Rear Door
  • Having the 4-way run out of the back hatch is actually the preferred method although it seems like it wouldn't be. Having the 4-way stored inside the cab of the keeps it protected from rain and moisture to prevent corrosion and keeps it protected from damage to the wiring or connector by rocks or debris that might be on the highway. You can run the wire through the vehicle if you wish but just keep in mind that this does take more time and you may end up needing additional wire because...

  • Will Bike Rack Block License Plate and Cause Legal Issues
  • This is a great question but the short answer is that no, you would not get pulled over for having a bike rack obstruct the view of your license plate with the Hollywood Racks Over the Top part # HRF2-3 installed. Technically an officer could give you a hard time but in reality they don't seem to ever care about this type of thing. We sell a TON of bike racks and we've yet to receive feedback that a blocked license plate got them into trouble. Most of the time the plate is still reasonably...

  • Solution for Using Cargo Carrier While Towing Sea Doo Trailer with 2015 Honda Odyssey
  • As you mentioned in your question, the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount # D210 is typically the best solution for what you are trying to do. With that being said, if the 2-1/4 inch drop on the ball platform won't allow you to tow the trailer level, it won't be the best product for your particular application. We do have dual hitch adapters like # D-192 that will allow you to still use your ball mount with a rise, but this type of product will also reduce the overall capacity of your trailer...

  • 5-Bike Bike Rack for Honda Odyssey
  • Yes the Curt Premium 5 Bike Rack # C18065 will work with a 2" hitch on your 2017 Honda Odyssey. The Curt Trailer Hitch # C13068 for your Odyssey measures about 11" from the bottom inside of the receiver tube. The bike rack has a straight shank so in steep inclines like driveways you may have issues with the shank making contact with the ground which is not ideal but it happens sometimes. A hanging style bike rack gives you better clearance when you're carrying 5 bikes because they are further...

  • Hitch and 4 Bike Rack Recommendation for 2018 Honda Odyssey
  • The Thule Hitching Post Pro, part # TH934XTR would be an ideal choice for safely and securely carrying 4 bikes. The rack features sturdy anti-sway cradles to prevent the bikes from swinging back and forth while traveling. An anti-rattle hitch pin is included, but you might consider a locking version that's available separately as part # THSTL2. The # TH538XT cable lock also might be a good idea. For women's bikes with step-through frames, a frame adapter bar like # 64005 is recommended....

  • Reccommended Roof Rack System For A 2008 Honda Odyssey
  • When it comes to installing a roof rack system on your 2008 Honda Odyssey, I recommend The Rhino Rack Roof Bar System this kit includes: Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars-Aluminum-Black-46 inches Long - Qty 2 # RRVA118B-2 Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs Qty 4 # RRSX100 This system has a sleek, low-profile and has a elliptical crossbar shape that helps to create an extremely aerodynamic system.

  • Are Replacement Bolts Available for the Curt Cargo Carrier?
  • The 24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # C18152 does not have replacement hardware available but it just uses 3 M12 x 75mm hex bolts which you can find in any local hardware store. Since you're needing to also drill out the hole, you'd need to use a 1/2" bit # PTW8589. This will make the hole slightly larger since metric and imperial aren't 1:1, but its close enough to not be super noticeable.

  • Comparison of Dexter Axle and Axle Technology 12,000 Pound Brake Assemblies
  • Dexter Axle has the brand recognition so that will definitely weigh more in their favor. Axle Technology isn't as well known even though their parts are very common on trailers but they're mostly used buy trailer manufacturers. So their parts often come on trailers but aren't as commonly used when someone is buying replacement parts. The Axle Technology brakes, like # AKEBRK-12R for the right and # AKEBRK-12L for the left, are good quality brakes and some of our installers here even...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendations for a 2016 Honda Odyssey
  • Curt trailer hitch # C13126 does not fit the 2016 Honda Odyssey but there are numerous other hitches that do, see link. The comparable Curt hitch for the 2016 Odyssey is # C13068 and I have linked a video showing how it installs and what it will look like on the 2016 model. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK4. It comes with a ball mount with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop, interchangeable ball set, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If the...
