Expert Answers about Forest River Cedar Creek Fifth Wheel


  • Does the Factory Brake Controller in a Ram 3500 Need An Adapter to Work with EOH Brakes
  • I called HydraStar who is a prominent manufacturer of electric over hydraulic brake actuators and they said the issue that you are having is caused by a compatibility error between the factory integrated brake controller and your electric over hydraulic brake actuator. Therefore, you will need to use an adapter. Please also make sure that you are in the electric over hydraulic mode if that is an option. In order to recommend the correct adapter I will need to know what electric over hydraulic...

  • Are There Height Adjustment Kits Available For Kwikee SuperSlide RV Slide Out Storage Trays
  • The Kwikee SuperSlide systems, like part # LC370774, do not have a lift kit available so you would need to build one yourself out of wood in order to clear the 3" lip for your compartment door. You might be able to use the Height Adjustment Kit for MORryde RV Cargo Sliding Trays # MR34VR, but would most likely need to drill holes into the tray track in order to mount it on the kit since it was intended for use with MORryde trays.

  • How To Find the Correct Replacement Lid for a Vent Fan on a 2018 Forest River Cedar Creek 8289WS
  • If you remove the screen on your vent assembly there should be both a brand and model number listed. If you can provide this then I can give you the correct replacement lid. If not your only other option would be to remove the vent lid you have now and pay attention to the hinge. If it is a continuous hinge like the photo I have attached for you then you can use the Vent Cover for Ventline Old-Style Rounded Dome Trailer Roof Vents part # BV0554-03. The Replacement Lid for MaxxFan and MaxxFan...

  • Recommended Portable Tire Inflator That Can Inflate Trailer Tires to 110 psi
  • You are right that a huge compressor can really be a pain and we have exactly what you need with a portable system, the Bulldog Winch Portable Air Compressor # BDW41003 which only measures about 10-1/2" long x 5-1/2" wide x 7-1/2" tall and weighs under 10 lbs.

I have added a link to a video review of this tire inflator for you to...

  • How Does Air Bag Replace in Lippert Trailair Pin Box
  • I called my contact at Lippert and although we do not have an installation video I was able to find the instructions that explain how to install a replacement air spring like part # LC432404. You would need to do the following per the instructions: The bag is fastened at the bottom first by inserting the carriage bolt in the key hole shape opening on the lower plate allowing the bolt head to slide in and be pulled forward securing the bag in place. Secure air bag with the air fill fitting...

  • Recommended TrailAir FlexAir Pin Box Replacement for 2018 Forest River Silverback
  • For your 2018 Forest River Silverback, the Trailair Flex Air 5th Wheel Pin Box # LC369535 is the correct fit. It will work with the capacity of your trailer as well as will bolt right up to your 1621HD pin box. The only real difference between the 1621 and 1621HD is the HD uses thicker material but has the same dimensions.

  • Can Both Hydraulic and Electric Landing Gear Legs Be Installed on a Trailer
  • On most trailers there is not going to be space for two sets of landing gear legs on each side of the trailer so I would have to say no unless a professional fabricator made extensive modifications to the trailer. The issue you described with your hydraulic landing gear set is the reason they are becoming less and less popular. The Lippert Ground Control 3.0 Electric 5th Wheel RV Leveling System part # LC675817 is a far better system in my opinion and you should be able to switch over from...

  • You can install the RV Kitchen Faucet w/ Sprayer # 277-000098 in the orientation you described with the handle on the right side and the sprayer on the left. There's no reason you couldn't do that. As long as the water is connected to the handle and the nozzle correctly it can install in either orientation.

  • Will Econo Porch Trailer Step # EHS-103-R Fit Over Existing Steps on Arctic Wolf 5th Wheel Trailer
  • There are a couple of support straps at the top step/landing that would likely be in the way and prevent Econo Porch Trailer Step # EHS-103-R from fitting around your existing steps. The height from the ground to the top step is 27-1/2 inches. From the ground to where that strap starts is about 18-1/2 inches. If those support straps weren't there then it would most likely work.

  • Suspension Upgrades for a 2011 Forest River Cedar Creek 36RE
  • Yes! There are a few options and which set fits will depend on the measurements of your existing equalizers. If the eye center to eye center on your equalizers is 5-1/4 to 6-1/4 inches with a height from the top center hole to the eye center holes of around 2 inches then you can use # K71-652-00. If your equalizer length measurement is 7-1/4 to 8-1/4 inches then you can use # K71-653-00. If your equalizers are 7-1/2 inches long with a height of around 5 inches you can use # LC279688.

  • How to Prevent the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver Part # C13701 From Scraping
  • There is a possibility that going over a bump could then cause the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13701 to drag the pavement. In order to prevent damage to the trailer hitch I recommend installing skid wheels like part # UF48-979014. I have attached a photo of these skid wheel installed to give you a better idea of how they will work. You would not experience any damage to the trailer's frame and trailer hitch once the wheels are installed. Unfortunately, this is the only...

  • Can You Order Multiple Curt Tri-Ball Trailer Coupler Locks With the Same Key
  • The Curt Tri-Ball Trailer Coupler Lock part # C48CR does not come with a keyed alike option so you'd only be able to receive multiple with the same key by chance. That said, we have plenty of other multi fit trailer coupler locks with keyed alike options such as the Fastway Universal Trailer Coupler Lock part # FA86-0015-316 which is what I recommend. It can be ordered keyed alike.

  • Can Manual Adjust Brakes be Replaced with Self-Adjust Brakes on a Lippert 6,000 Lb Axle
  • Yes to both. In order to switch out the manual adjust braking assemblies for the self-adjust braking assemblies on your Lippert 6,000 lb axle you will need the Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-7-SA. In order to replace the brake shoes on your existing brakes you will need to use the Replacement Shoe and Lining Kit for 12" Manual-Adjust Brake Assembly part # AKBRKR-S-12. I have attached review videos for you as well.

  • Replacement Light Bulb for Optronics 291 Light Fixtures
  • I tried looking up the Optronics Model 291 but couldn't locate anything. The G4/JC10 LED Light Bulb (cool white) # DI33VR and the G4/JC10 LED Light Bulb (warm white) # DI93VR are the LED equivalent to 20 watts, 12v and has the 2 pin design. I didn't find anything else with those specifications. If you can send in the picture of your current light bulb I can try and track down the replacement for the bulb you have for you.
