  • Recommended Weight Distribution System For A 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • When it comes to choosing the correct weight distribution hitch for your 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon you need to choose a system that is as close as possible to the loaded weight of your trailer. If you choose something that is way overkill like a 10,000 pound system that could cause even more sway then what you already have currently. I recommend The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Round - 6,000 pounds GTW, 600 pounds TW # FA94-00-0600. This weight distribution...

  • Which Roadmaster Tow Defender Fits with Roadmaster MX Direct Connect Base Plates
  • I do have a solution for you and you are correct that the Roadmaster Tow Defender # RM-4700 is not compatible with the Roadmaster # 921-3 base plates, since those are direct-connect base plates in the MX series. The series/model of the base plate is listed at the bottom of the product page with the Roadmaster part number, but it is a bit difficult to find if you're not specifically aware it's there-so we do apologize for the confusion. With that said, you can use the Roadmaster Tow Defender...

  • Parts Needed to Mount Thule Summit Cargo Box to 2010 Subaru Outback Wagon with Factory Roof Rack
  • I am assuming that you are speaking of the Thule Summit Cargo Box and are looking to mount it to the factory roof rack on your 2010 Subaru Outback Wagon.

  • Can I Use Two Left Hand Electric Brakes On A Single Axle Camper
  • When installing electric brakes onto your single axle camper you can not use 2 left brakes on one axle. You will need one Left # AKEBRK-35L and one Right # AKEBRK-35R. If one set of brake assemblies is on the wrong side of the axle, it will lead to diminished braking performance and premature brake wear. If you have any other questions please feel free to reach back out to me anytime and I will be more than happy to further assist you in your towing endeavors.
