• Recommended Curt Weight Distribution System for 2018 Rockwood Trailer with 900 lb Dry Tongue Weight
• Great question. The base dry hitch weighing 900 lbs is a factor, but you will most definitely want the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # C17501 for this application. The reasoning is that you need to account for loaded weight on the tongue of your hitch which will not only include the loaded cargo of your trailer, but it also accounts for any weight behind the rear axle of your towing vehicle. If you went with the 1000 lb max capacity # C17500, then you would...

• Will the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit a 2014 Heartland Big Country 5th Wheel
• We have not yet installed the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13703 on a 2014 Heartland Big Country but so long as the frame rails are spaced between 22" and 72" apart which they should then this hitch will work for you. It is very universal and there are few trailers it will not work on. It can either be bolted or welded to the frame rails. The main hitch body tube can be trimmed so the ends are flush with the frame brackets. After trimming, coat the bare metal with paint...

• Recommended Camera System for 2021 Rockwood 5th Wheel and 2019 Factory Dash Monitor
• The Custom Third Brake Light Camera for 4.2" Factory Monitor - Night Vision # 3460025 is the only system we have that allows the switch to let you select the camera feed on that monitor. I recommend using the Rear View Safety Trailer Tow Quick Connect Kit For Backup Camera Systems # RVS-213-613 and then the Rear View Safety Adapter Cord - 5 Pin Male to RCA Male # RVS-RCA5-AM. This will let you flip the switch to toggle between a factory backup camera on the truck and the camera at the...

• Replacement Landing Gear Set for Forest River Cardinal Fifth Wheel
• I have some really great options for complete landing gear sets to use on a Forest River Cardinal Fifth Wheel, the Landing Gear Set with Handle part # RVLG-8HDL for example is super cost effective and it comes with everything you need. In regards to fit, it should work but I do recommend checking that the weld stops on your existing landing gear legs are 15-1/2' apart inside to inside.

• Replacement Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center for 30 Amp System on 2004 Forest River
• Technically the 60 Amp Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center # PD4560K18LS8 will work but since it's rated for twice the amount of power as your current system I recommend toning it down and going with the 35 Amp Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center # PD4135K instead. If you go with the higher rating then you'll need to make sure all of your other power equipment is able to handle more power as well. The 35 Amp system is close enough that you won't need to upscale your equipment. Attached...

• Mounting Bracket For Securing Propane Reguator On Trailer With Tanks On Either Side Of Camper
• It sounds like you are referring to the High Pressure RV LP Gas Regulator # 37207-30325 which is located on the one side of your trailer. This is done to prevent liquid propane from getting into the black steel pipe as the other Regulator # 37207-30395 will be on the other side of your trailer which lowers it to the correct pressure needed for your appliances. The Regulator Bracket # 37207-30355 will allow you to secure the regulator to the trailer.

• What is Weight Capacity of Load Range E Trailer Tire in Size ST225/75R15
• With a Load E tire like the Karrier part # AM10303 you would have a tire capacity of 2,830 lb which based on your correct match would put you a little under the max weight capacity of your trailer. That doesn't mean you are necessarily overloading the tires though as there's a very good chance your trailer isn't at it's max weight capacity.
