  • Can Slide Be Out When Replacing Motor and How to Test Slide Out Motor
  • Hey Tom, thanks for reaching out! Yes, your slide can be out when you're replacing the motor. To test your current motor you'll just need to swap the polarity to see if it runs. If it doesn't run then you need the Replacement Motor # LC125802 (make sure that 18:1 gear ratio is correct though if your slide uses 2 motors), but if it does run then that means you have bad wiring somewhere that needs to be fixed.

  • Will Low Water Pressure Cause Toilet Flushing Problems
  • Yes, this can certainly happen. Since you noticed the low water pressure is at your campground that is likely the issue and your toilet will work as intended once you move.

  • Troubleshooting Only Running Lights Work When Trailer Hooked to Truck
  • Since the lights work with a different truck the problem is on your truck. Check the connection for debris or corrosion and clean as necessary. After that, I would start testing for power with a circuit tester like # PTW2993. Try testing right behind the connector and work your way back to see if you can find a short. You should also make sure your ground connection is secure.

  • Troubleshooting No Brake Lights With European Trailer Connector Adapter on 2002 Volvo V70 XC
  • We haven't run into this in the past with customers who have used the # 118710 so I would start by checking the vehicle side connector. The brake and turn signals are separate on your European style 7-way so you will need to determine which pin is the brake signal and check for power using a tester like the # PTW2993. It may be that there is some corrosion on the connector as well, especially since it is a 2002, so it would be a good idea to check it and clean as necessary. If you don't...

  • Troubleshooting Intermittent Trailer Disconnected Message When Towing
  • Hey Bill thanks for your question. Like you said there are several things that can cause an intermittent trailer disconnected message. The most common cause is a rusty or corroded trailer connector. Go ahead and inspect the trailers 7-way plug. If there is noticeable rust or corrosion it will need to be replaced with something like the 7-Way Round RV Style Trailer Connector # A7WCB. I suggest using a bit of Dielectric Grease # 11755 on the trailer plug and the vehicles 7-way. It is ok...

  • Troubleshooting Intermittent Trailer Disconnected Message with Factory Brake Controller on Ford
  • There's a couple of things that could be causing the Trailer Disconnected error to keep popping up on your dash. If your lights aren't working on the trailer you will want to check both the 7-way on your F-350 and the one on your trailer to make sure there isn't corrosion or frayed wires. You can use a wire tester like item # PTW2993 to make sure you're getting power to the circuits. If the lights on your trailer are functioning correctly then it is most likely the blue brake controller...

  • Furrion Fire Place Lights Fade Away After Turning On Unit
  • It sounds like you may have a short on the lights for your Furrion Fireplace # FF30SC15ABL. I would first check to determine if your fireplace is still under warranty from either Furrion or the camper manufacturer as it is often easier to get a new under warranty rather than taking it apart to discover the warranty was voided due to taking it apart. If the unit is out of warranty and you have determined there is not an issue with power getting to the fireplace which there likely is not...

  • Troubleshooting Communication Error Message With Flashpaq F5 on 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500
  • The troubleshooting you looked at for your # SU2847 also applies to the communication error you're getting with your 2017 Silverado. Check the wires going back to the OBD-II port to see if there is anything spliced to the purple wire. If you find something go ahead and remove it then check to see if the error is gone. If you still have it, check to see if the sound of the door chime is coming from behind the stereo instead of from the speakers. If it is, pull the stereo and disconnect...

  • Troubleshooting An Everchill RV Refrigerator Freezer That Isn't Maintaining Temperature
  • Hey Patty, If your Everchill Refrigerator # 324-000119 freezer section isn't staying cold and fluctuates in temperature then the only troubleshooting you'll be able to do is: 1. Check the power and ground at the unit. You should have the ground ran directly to the chassis of the trailer and should see 12 volts when checking the power with a multimeter # PT89ZR. 2. The drain line could be clogged or frozen over. You'll need to unplug the unit, open the doors, and let it thaw out. 3....

  • Will The 2" Lift for the Lippert Center Point Affect The Fold Down Steps On 2024 Cedar Creek 36RL?
  • Based on a video I saw for your 2024 Forest River Cedar Creek 36RL it has the MORryde StepAbove RV Steps with Strut Assist # MR85RR. These steps are able to reach a threshold height of 36-1/2" to 42-1/2". So if your threshold is currently below 40-1/2" the additional 2" rise from the Lippert Center Point # LC1565391 will not prevent your steps from being used safely.

  • Troubleshooting A Non-Working Lift Motor On A Fan-Tastic RV Roof Vent
  • Hey John, If you're testing the wiring and there's power getting to the lift motor when the switch is in the off position then you either have a wiring issue or the vent is getting power from somewhere else. With the light going out immediately it sounds like it could be shorting out. What voltage are you reading when you test the power? The lift motor could be going out but the power issues you're describing could be the reason why so I would verify that you're getting a constant 12...

  • Could Converter be Bad of Curt 4-Way For 2016 Sportage
  • Hey Paul, thanks so much for the purchase from etrailer of the Curt T-Connector # C56251 for your 2016 Kia Sportage. It isn't going to be the converter that is bad if just the turn signals don't work. It could be the ground being bad; make sure the ground to the driver side light is attached to bare metal surfaces and free of any paint, dirt or corrosion. Also check both your vehicle and trailer connectors for corrosion, which can be green or white in color - a build-up of corrosion can...

  • Should I Be Able to Hear Trailer Brakes Hum Constantly with Manual Override Engaged
  • Thanks for your continued support, Ryan! While it's normal to be able to hear electric brake drums, like your Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Assembly # 23-464, humming when power is being applied to them, I recommend trying to physically move your trailer tires before investigating every inch of your wiring and magnets (which would be the next step). Sometimes the magnets can be a little quiet so what I recommend doing is lifting your trailer up by the frame enough for the...

  • Troubleshooting 7-Way Trailer Wiring Harness Functions Not Matching Wire Colors
  • Thanks for reaching out, Lisa! Trailer wiring can be a bit confusing at times but the best piece of advice I can give is for you to ditch the colors of the wiring and focus more on what circuits they are connected to. For example, the Hopkins 7-Way RV Style Connector with Molded Cable # H20046 uses the following functions for the following wires on the harness: White Wire - Ground Red Wire - Left Turn and Brake Brown Wire - Right Turn and Brake Green Wire - Tail Lights Blue Wire - Brake...

  • My Surge Brakes Are Activating When I Back Up My Trailer - What Can I Do?
  • Hello Gregg, I think I can help shed some light on what is going on. Basically, there are two ways to stop surge brakes from actuating when backing up the trailer. The first and most popular way to do this is to use a surge brake actuator with a reverse lockout. For example, the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator# DX56FR has an electric lockout. The solenoid is wired to the reverse light circuit on the tow vehicle. This way when the vehicle is put in reverse, the actuator will be locked...

  • Can Curt Echo Mobile Brake Controller Apply Brakes to One Side of Trailer More than Other
  • Hey Travis, so the Curt Echo # C51180 doesn't have a way to apply brakes to one side of the trailer more than the other. It can only put out one brake signal so if you have problems with one side of the trailer brakes it's not the brake controller. It's probably wiring though so I would check to make sure the brake output circuit is making it to both brake assemblies and also that the assemblies are grounded properly.

  • Is The Coating Coming Off On The Guide Plate Normal For Demco Autoslide 5TH Wheel Hitch?
  • It is normal for the coating to come off of the guide plate as the bearing runs along it on the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch # DM8550024. If you live in an area where rust is a big issue you will want to spray some lube/protectant on the bare steel where the coating has worn from time to time.

  • Scissor Jack Options With A Low Retracted Height
  • Hello Al. The Scissor Stabilizer Jack # TJSC-24 has a retracted height of 5". Meaning if the current jacks are at 5-3/4" you will gain 3/4" of clearance. if you are looking to gain as much clearance as possible, I suggest you take a look at the Leveling Scissor Jack Set # JSC-30. These have a retracted height of 4" and will be the "shortest" scissor jacks we offer.
