  • Adapter for 4-Flat on Vehicle to Attach to 7-Way Round on Trailer
  • Thank you for the photos they were very helpful. What you have on your vehicle is a 4-way flat, and on your trailer you have a 7-way round, which is less common than a 7-way blade-style, but there is still an option for you to connect the two. The correct part adapter for this is the Custer Trailer Connector Adapter - 4-Way Flat to 7-Way Round # KIT-7P-4. If you just want to use it for your the same functions as your 4-way - the turn signals and tail lights - you only need to plug your...

  • What Do I Need to Flat Tow my 2007 Scion tC Behind my Motorhome
  • You will need a Roadmaster Base Plate to Tow Ready Tow Bar Adapter # RM-025 to go from the Reese tow bar to a Roadmaster Base Plate kit # 1176-1. You will also want a Roadmaster Tow Bar Quick Disconnect Kit # RM-201. You will also need safety cables. I recommend Roadmaster Safety Cables, # RM-643. These are coiled so they will not drag on the ground. The next component you will need to flat tow the 2007 Scion tC is lighting. There are actually several lighting methods depending on your...

  • Can You Use Square Thule Crossbars On An Inno Roof Rack Installed On 2008 Scion xB?
  • You will want to stick with one brand throughout the entire roof rack kit; various brands of roof racks are not made to be compatible and interchangeable with each other. The most economical roof rack for your 2008 Scion xB is Inno Square Crossbars - Steel - Black - 58" Long - Qty 2 # INB147 with Feet # INSUT and Fit Kit # INK300. This has a weight capacity of 120lbs.

  • Anti-Rattle Device Recommendation for Draw Tite Invisi-Hitch Adapter
  • For an anti-rattle device to use with the Draw-Tite Invisi-Hitch Vertical Trailer Hitch Receiver and the hitch adapter you could use the part # 63090 that you referenced. This will take the movement out of the hitch at the adapter so that your Swagman XC Bike Rack part # S64650 won't move as much and will provide some additional stability.

  • Parts Needed To Flat-Tow a 2009 Scion xB
  • The 2009 Scion xB with a manual transmission is indeed flat-towable. I checked in your owner's manual and when setting up the vehicle for this they say to put the selector lever in neutral and turn the engine switch to the “ACC” position. In order to equip the vehicle for flat towing you will need quite a few parts which I have attached for you below if you are interested: Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar part # RM-520 Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit part # 1187-1A Roadmaster 64"...

  • Using EZ Mount Tow Light Kit on 2005 Scion xB When Bike Rack Blocks Tail Lights
  • If the bike completely obscures one of the tail lights so that it is not visible at all through the bike, then using the Roadmaster # RM-2120 would be a great solution. As you said, you would also need the Curt Harness, # C56030 to provide a connection for the EZ mount lights to plug into. Installing the harness is a straightforward procedure, as you can see by looking over the installation instructions that I have linked to.

  • How Does LED Clearance Light part # STL79RB Wire to Trailer Wiring that Uses 2 Wires
  • Your current taillights are grounding through the mounting hardware which is why there's on two wires and the LED Clearance light part # STL79RB instead grounds with the included white wire. So what you'd need to do is run the white wire to the mounting hardware of your trailer frame and you'd be set. Or you can run the white wire back to the ground circuit of the trailer's wiring.

  • Tent Rooftop Rack For 2015 Scion xB
  • Rhino Rack does not make a Pioneer Platform for the 2015 Scion xB. Yakima makes a similar 55" long x 49" wide platform, but the weight limit is 165 pounds, well under your needs. It also requires a fit kit that is not compatible with the Scion roof. Further, you will need to check your owners manual for your vehicles roof weight limit. I suspect it is below well below 165 as well. The only similar thing we offer is the Inno Roof Rack that supports 120 pounds – the most of all the Scion...

  • Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar Compatibility with Thule and Yakima Roof Bike Carriers
  • Yes, the T-Track hardware included on the Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack # TH599000 will let you install it properly in the top channels of Rhino-Rack's Vortex roof crossbars. On your 2012 Scion xB you'll want to order and install Rhino-Rack parts # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK152 to complete your roof rack. The Yakima FrontLoader # Y02103 and HighRoad # Y02114 bike carriers you referenced will also fit the roof rack but these will install by clamping around the bars. For the HighRoad you...

  • Trailer Hitch and Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2005 Scion xB
  • First let's start with a hitch. The Curt Hitch part # C11487 would be a great option that has been confirmed as a fit. For a roof rack the Rhino Rack that consists of part numbers # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK138 would be a great option as well. What nice about this rack is that it doesn't cost as much as the other "nicer" roof racks but it is still a high quality roof rack. This rack has a 110 lb capacity, but you would still need to check the owners manual of your vehicle to determine...

  • Troubleshooting Power Issues With A Way Interglobal 12V RV Ceiling Fan With Wall Switch
  • To test the switch of the 12V RV Ceiling Fan w/ Wall Switch # 324-000053 you'll want to use a digital multimeter like # PT89ZR to test the power wire running to the switch. You should be getting 12v DC at the switch for it to properly function. If the switch has 12v power and you have the switch on then you'll want to check the power at the fan to know if the switch is the issue or the fan itself is the issue. If the switch doesn't have power then you'll need to trace the power wire...

  • Availability of 4 Bike Hitch Bike Rack for a 2009 Scion xB
  • I have three hitches available for a 2009 Scion xB and they are all 1-1/4 inch size hitches. Two of the hitches are Class I 1-1/4 inch hitches that can only carry a maximum of two bikes. The CURT Class II 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # 12490, is a Class II hitch which can carry 4 bikes, but since the CURT hitch is a 1-1/4 inch hitch and the Tow Ready 4 Bike Hitch Rack, part # 63124, you have referenced is for a 2 inch hitch, it will not fit on your Scion xB. If you use the CURT # 12490 hitch...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2011 Scion xB
  • The trailer hitch that I recommend using for your 2011 Scion xB is the Curt # C12490. This is a Class II trailer hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. It has a 350 lb tongue weight rating and a 3,500 lb gross trailer weight rating. But your vehicle may not be rated for this much. You will need to confirm the weight rating of your Scion in your owner's manual. You will also need wiring, like the recommended T-Connector # C56035, and a ball mount kit like part # C45147. Check out the linked ball...

  • using a 2 Inch Bike Rack in a Class II 1-1/4 Inch Hitch on a 2009 Scion xB
  • You can use adapter # HTAD to use a 2 inch accessory in a 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch on your 2009 Scion xB. However doing so will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50 percent. The Curt Class II hitch for your Scion is # C12490 and it is rated for 350 pounds tongue weight. The use of the adapter will reduce that down to 175 pounds. Curt also says you have to use stabilization strap # 18050 when using this hitch for any non-trailer load (such as a bike rack or cargo carrier)...

  • Glass Hatch Hook Adapter Installation on 2007 Scion tC
  • On your 2007 Scion tC, the Glass Hatch Hook Adapter, # Y02612, is installed by first opening your hatch, and then threading the hatch anchor through the gap between the hatch and your vehicle's roof, placing the anchors inside your vehicle and straps on the roof. Then close the hatch. Next attach the straps to the top strap tension adjuster. Last, adjust the tension to secure your bike rack to your vehicle. I've attached a picture of what this should look like.

  • Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for 1 Bike on a 2006 Scion xA
  • For an inexpensive single bike trunk mount carrier you can use the Saris Solo, # SA102. It is the only single bike carrier that we have and it is very budget-friendly. I have linked a video review of this carrier for you. If your xA has the spoiler option at the top of the hatch then none of the trunk mount carriers should be used because they will not be able to install correctly.
