• 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...

• 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.
