  • Does 3,500 lb Leaf Spring Need to Have Same Number of Leaves as Original
  • Yes, you can replace your 3,500 lb 7-leaf springs with leaf springs that have 3 or 4 leaves because the weight rating is the same. The number of leaves isn't a determining factor; for example, there are 4-leaf springs for both 2k and 6k axles. So you simply need springs with the correct rating for your axle, as well as the right length. For that, you'll want to measure the length from center-to-center of the spring eyes, taking into account you current leaf springs will have elongated...

  • Is Go Power RV Converter and Smart Battery Charger Good Choice for Battery Bank of RV
  • The Go Power RV Converter and Smart Battery Charger # 34266168 would be a really solid choice to charge your RV batteries. It can put out up to 45 amps which would easily charge your battery bank and it also monitors the battery life and provides a multi staged charge based on the battery's current condition. I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.

  • Replacement Options for a Dometic 56-2281-10/03 RV Microwave
  • I do have some options for you to replace the Dometic 56-2281-10/03 but I was not able to find any specs for this. That said, if you simply measure the unit and compare this to the sizes we offer below via the link, you should be able to get a pretty close match to your original microwave. The Greystone Standard RV Microwave part # 324-000105 for example could be a suitable replacement measuring 19" wide x 13-1/2" tall x 14-1/4" deep without the trim kit and 23-3/8" wide x 15" tall with...

  • Finding the Correct Electric Trailer Brake Assembly for Lippert Components 2800 lb Axle
  • Thanks for the photos and information. You will want the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 3,500 lbs # AKEBRK-35-SA for self adjusting brakes that you won't need to check periodically to maintain or # AKEBRK-35 for manual adjustment like what you currently have.

  • What Dometic AC Units Can be Replaced with Advent Air Unit
  • The Advent air conditioner units that will fit the Dometic setups and will allow the use of the Dometic controls require the setup to be using Comfort Control Center Model 3109226.005 which is used with a 5 button thermostat. Based on the year of your setup and the buttons you did mention what you have would be too old so you'd have to go with a setup that replaces all of that like for example the Furrion Chill part # FR23PV.

  • Determining The Pin Box Bolt Pattern On A 2012 Skyline Koala 27CDS 5th Wheel Trailer
  • To know if the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box # GY58GR will be a compatible match with your 2012 Skyline Koala 27CDS fifth wheel you'll need to know the bolt pattern of the pin box you currently have on the trailer. Typically there is a tag on the front or side of the pin box that has some serial numbers on it that we can look up to determine the bolt pattern, but this isn't always the case. If you don't have a tag to go off of you can measure the bolts to...

  • Replacement Baggage Latch for a 2016 Skyline Layton Trailer
  • The latch that you have referenced is the Lippert Components Slam Latch Baggage Door Handle part 305288. However, this latch is obsolete and there are no direct replacements for this. If you like, you can use the Lippert Components Slam Latch Baggage Door Handle part # LC227214 and enlarge the cutout but other than that you would need a new door according to Lippert.

  • How To Use Pro Series Weight Distribution System On Trailer Frame Blocked By Battery Box
  • The best option I have for you to mount the frame brackets on the trailer frame for the Pro Series Weight Distribution System without interfering with the battery box would be with the Chain Hangers for Reese Weight Distribution Systems part # RP58305. I would not have any shorter bolts that secure the standard frame brackets to the frame on the above weight distribution system.

  • Replacement Door Hinge For A 1992 Skyline Nomad Travel Trailer
  • With your trailer being 30 years old most parts are discontinued at this point so a lot of troubleshooting and redneck engineering is going to be involved. The closest I can find to a 2" x 72" door hinge for your broken door would be the 2" Wide Continuous Hinge - 6' Long - 1/4" Pin Diameter # MA54ZR. If you're referring to a different part for your doors then please let me know.

  • Brake Controller for a 2010 Toyota Tacoma and Electronic Sway Control for a Tear Trailer
  • Congrats on your new trailer. To add a brake controller to your 2010 Toyota Tacoma, I highly recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller item # RED52VR. This is a proportional brake controller that will engage your trailer's brakes when your Tacoma decelerates. It activates immediately and is not time delayed. The Tow-Pro Liberty has a unique installation method that allows you to mount the main control unit out of sight behind your dash. The only part visible is the control knob....

  • For a replacement leaf spring the part # e84SR would work great as this is a 2,000 lb axle leaf spring with exact dimension you have of 2-3/8 inches. For replacement shackles we have the part # TRSL313 which is the size you need of 3-1/8 inches. For wet bolts you'd want the part # 126B2 and then for cushioned equalizers you could use the part # LC279687.
