The Ultra-Fab Motor Home 2-Inch Trailer Hitch, part # UF35-946401, is intended for installation on the rear of motor homes that have an exposed 4-inch bumper. Installation requires that the bumper be fully open in order to allow the U-bolts to attach securely.
This hitch is not suitable for use on your 2008 Chrysler Aspen. The bumper on your vehicle is designed to protect the passengers in the event of an impact. Even if you removed part of the bumper cover to expose the bumper itself,... view full answer...
The only style of engine heater I can recommend for your 2008 Chrysler Aspen with a Hemi is a magnetic pad like the part # KH24100.
There are no cartridge style heaters available. view full answer...
There should not be any difference in the wiring process between a 2007 and 2008 Chrysler Aspen. They use the exact same wiring harness so there should not be any differences. All the connectors will be in the same location and should be able to run the power wire to the battery in the same location. view full answer...
If you want a cover for your actual hitch ball itself you can use # 42250 or one of the others shown on the included link.
In the case of your 2007 Chrysler Aspen the only size of hitch receiver that is offered is the 2-inch Class III type; please see the linked page. Hitch BALLS can be a 1-7/8-inch diameter (or 2-inch or 2-5/16-inch) but a hitch receiver itself, which is mounted to a vehicle frame, will generally be either 1-1/4-inch, 2-inch or 2-1/2-inches square.

Yes, I checked with Rhino Rack and the roof rack by them that consists of the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 and part # RRSX100 has been confirmed to fit your 2007 Chrysler Aspen and would work well for you.
These two parts are all that is needed to complete the roof rack for your vehicle. view full answer...
I think the best and easiest to install hitch would be part # 13296 from Curt. It has a 600 pound tongue weight and 6,000 pound gross towing weight capacity.
The wiring kit for the Aspen is part # 118390. It will plug in between your vehicle wiring and the tail lights to grab all the right signals. You will neeed to run a single power wire up to the battery on the Aspen to provide an isolated power source. This allows more lights to be used on the trailer as well as preventing damage to... view full answer...
Yes, the Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring for the 2009 Aspen by Chrysler, item # 118390, is the correct wiring harness for your Aspen and you will need one other item to complete the wiring to lockout the brakes on your boat trailer surge coupler.
You can go one of three ways for this wiring. The easiest way in my mind is to install the # 118390 T-One and then splice the 5-Flat Vehicle End 5' Wiring Harness, item # HM37908, to the 4 like wires left by removing the 4-way vehicle end... view full answer...
Thank you for all of the details!
It sounds like you have one vehicle with a 4-Way, one vehicle with a 4-Way/7-Way combo, and a trailer with a 4-Way. You want to add the reverse light function to your trailer using a junction box setup like what we have with part # HS381-9000 and still be able to use the trailer with both vehicles.
I like the idea of adding the junction box as well as taking your trailer 4-Way and integrating it into the box so that all of your connections are made in... view full answer...
The transmission cooler # D13102 you referenced is recommended for compact cars although you can still use it. Checking the measurements of the potential area is key.
I recommend you measure the space you have for installing a transmission cooler to gauge which cooler will fit best. Select the correct transmission cooler by determining where there is enough space to mount it. The best three positions to mount the transmission cooler in order. At Position A, where the transmission cooler... view full answer...
Since your 2007 Chrysler Aspen does not have trailer wiring currently you are going to need to first start with a 4-way. For that you would want the part # 118390. This is a plug and play option designed to fit your vehicle. Check out the install video for more info.
Now if your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way.
If you do have trailer brakes you would need the # ETBC7 instead of the # 37185 and a brake controller.... view full answer...
I would recommend you start by using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 and test the pins on your trailer connector while each function is activated. If you find that you are not getting a signal on the turn signal/ brake light circuits, use the tester to test the wires going into the converter box. If you have signal going into the box, but not exiting, the converter is bad and must be replaced.
Before replacing the T-1 Harness, you'll want to carefully examine the wiring on your trailer.... view full answer...
The Yakima JayLow part # Y04073 would be a great option for a kayak carrier that is high quality and can fold down when not needed like you said you were intersted in. Then for a quality roof rack that doesn't cost as much as some of the high end racks we have the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX100 which is a confirmed fit. I really like the Rhino Rack roof racks as they are on par with the other brand manufacturers yet don't cost quite as much. view full answer...
It definitely sounds to me like you have the connections in the 7-way connector on your vehicle connected to the wrong circuits. From your explanation I believe you may have the ground wire connected to the circuit that you are calling the taillight circuit. Use a circuit tester, item # PTW2993 if you need one, and the wiring diagram (see link) for the 7-way connector car end and you should be able to get the wiring connected properly. When looking at the wiring diagram remember that you... view full answer...
The air lines of the Air Lift Load Controller Compressor System for Air Helper Springs # AL25856 are 1/4 inch.
It is highly recommended you use the Air Lift Air Hose Cutter # AL10530 for the air lines to get the most concise cut of the lines. view full answer...
The Hopkins Agility Trailer Brake Controller # HM47294 will use the wiring adapter # HM47755 if you have the factory 7-way trailer connector.
If you do not have the factory connector, then you will need the brake controller wiring kit # ETBC7 along with the 4-way wiring harness # HM42245. I've attached a video to assist with this installation. view full answer...
Ideally you would measure for the amount of drop needed in a ball mount with the 2008 Chrysler Aspen loaded because it will be closer to the actual towing situation. Since the vehicle is sagging with gear loaded in it, it is going to sag even more then the trailer is coupled because of the tongue weight of the trailer.
What I recommend is weight distribution so that the vehicle does not sag and will provide you will better braking, steering, and visibility. To choose a weight distribution... view full answer...
According to Bearing Buddy the best grease to use is a high quality, multipurpose # 2 grade lubricant. They also recommend not mixing different types of grease.

Is the fan set up currently on your 2008 Chrysler Aspen belt driven? In any event you will need to determine if it is pushing air or pulling air. The fans that you have referenced, # D16927, and # D16919 are for puller applications only. What I recommend is going with the most CFM that you can in a fan or fans that will fit in the space provided. You do not always have to remove the factory set up in order to install an electric fan. You just have to make sure that the aftermarket fan is... view full answer...
To replace the Duo Therm AC unit on your 2006 Holiday Rambler Ambassador I recommend the Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System - Manual - 15,000 Btu - White # FR92PR.
The # FR92PR AC unit is a perfect replacement for your older Duo Therm unit and since the air distribution box has a built-in thermostat, it's compatible with both ducted and non-ducted systems and no complicated wiring is required. It fits the same opening (14" square) and uses the same 110v. wiring of any standard... view full answer...
What our installers do when installing hitches on the Aspen, like your 2008, is to first get the hitch in position and attach the u-bolts that go over the vehicle bumper structure. Then, they use the hitch as a template and drill through the bumper structure from the back of the vehicle. Then they drill out the other side. The bumper structure is hallow so you do not have to drill all the way through. It is easier to get the holes lined up correctly this way.
