Expert Answers about Keystone Cougar XLite Fifth Wheel


  • Will Advent ACM150 RV Air Conditioner Replace Coleman Mach Ducted System
  • According to the manufacturer of the # ACM150 Advent Air RV air conditioner would be compatible with your existing ducting and thermostat, but you'd need the # ACCOLKIT adapter kit. Keep in mind, though that the existing Coleman thermostat won't be compatible with the optional # ACMHD heat strip, if that's something you were deciding you were needing.

  • Locating Replacement Leaf Springs for Dexter D44 Tandem Axles and Recommended Upgrades
  • In order to find the right replacement leaf springs, you will need to raise the trailer up and take some measurements on one of the existing springs. This type of information isn't typically provided by trailer manufacturers and it's not something that can be determined by the axle capacity (many different leaf spring lengths could be used with 4,400 pound tandem axles). With all the weight lifted off the leaf springs, you will just need to measure their length (from the center of one...

  • Are the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Brake Kits Sold As Pairs
  • The Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 4.4K # K23-478-479 are sold as a pair (left and right brake assembly) for one axle. If you've got a tandem axle trailer you'll want to order two sets of these. These brake assemblies do not include mounting hardware so if you need to replace yours then you'll want to use the Mounting Hardware for 10" Brake Assemblies # BRKH10B as well, for each axle you're replacing the brakes on.

  • How To Choose Correct Replacement Leaf Springs for a Keystone Cougar 244RLS
  • In order to find the correct replacement leaf springs for a trailer you first need to start by noting the type whether that be slipper or double eye. Then, you'll need to measure their unloaded length via jacking up the trailer. If the springs are worn they will measure longer than their replacement. Lastly, you will need to note the axle capacity which is found on the tag in the center of the beam. Please note, the number of leaves does not really denote capacity as leaves have different...

  • Fork Mount Adapter Needed for 9 mm x 135 mm Bike Skewer
  • The solution for your bike will be to use the Rhino-Rack Thru Axle Sleeve for 9-mm x 135-mm Thru Axle Skewers # RRRBCA039 with either the Multi Axle Adapter # RRRBCA030 or with the Thru Axle Bike Carrier # RR43233. I personally like the bike carrier a little better. This is designed to be installed on the Pioneer Platforms but you can use different hardware to bolt this down if that's what you're needing.

  • How To Determine Which Replacement Bearings For 2012 Keystone Cougar 27RKT Lite 5th Wheel Trailer
  • I would be happy to walk you through the steps to find which bearings your 2012 Keystone Cougar 27RKT uses, but unfortunately I do not have a breakdown of which bearings your specific trailer uses. The easiest way to determine the correct replacement bearings is to remove one of the hubs and look for the bearing numbers stamped in the face of each of the bearings as you can see in the included picture of the # L44649. If your bearings are worn to the point that you cannot read the bearing...

  • Are Replacement Drums Available For An AL-KO 4400 Pound Axle?
  • Due to odd spacing with AL-KO 4,400 pound axles, specifically how far out they mounted the brakes, there will not be any current drums available as replacements. With that being said, the best thing to do will be to replace the axle with something that is more common, like the Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes # 8327820-EB. This will include everything needed to replace the axle, including brakes, drums, bearings, seals, grease caps, lug nuts, and even grease. However, this will also...

  • Replacement Bearings, Races, Seals, Brake Drums and Brake Assemblies for 4400 lb Axle
  • The spindles used on the 4400 axle are compatible with the # L67048 Inner bearing and # LM67010 race and the # L44649 Outer bearing and # L44610 race, along with the 10-19 grease seal, part # RG06-050. You'll want to confirm this by pulling one of the hubs to check the reference numbers off of your current bearings. For brakes, you'd need a 10 x 2-1/4 inch brake assembly. I'd recommend a Nev-r-adjust assembly, part # K23-478-479 for the right and left sides. Typically, it's recommended...

  • What Are the Torque Spec for Brake Mounting Hardware on Dexter 10" Electric Brakes

  • Replacement Circuit Board for Lippert Ground Control 4 Point
  • Thank you for the picture of the module your Lippert Ground Control kit has as I can tell from it that you have a 4 point kit. So for a replacement control module you'd want the part # LC304136. The "points" refer to the number of jack legs the kit has. A 4 point has 4 jack legs and a 6 point uses 6 legs.

  • Solution for Replacement Hub and Drum for Dexter 008-480-05
  • The Dexter 008-480-05 is specifically designed to fit AL-KO axles. Unfortunately, the # 8-407-5UC3-EZ will not fit AL-KO axles. Since these axles are no longer made replacement parts are not available. The best solution is to replace your 4,400 lb axle with a conventional axle. The closest thing in capacity will be a 5,200 lb axle like the # e45GR which measures 86-1/2" long. You will need your hub face to hub face measurement to find the correct replacement. If the spring seat measurement...

  • Rear Hitch for 2016 Keystone Cougar X-Lite Fifth Wheel
  • Hitches for the back of trailers are not custom made to each trailer make and model, but are mostly universal fit. These hitches will bolt or weld on your your existing trailer frame, so you will first need to know what the width between your frame beams is, and what towing capacity your trailer manufacturer recommends. (Many are not rated for towing, even if they put a hitch back there, it is usually for hitch accessories - not towing.) I have attached a link showing all of our RV &...

  • Recommended Lift Kit for 2012 Keystone Cougar XLite Fifth Wheel
  • We have a solution for you but because your axle is already over slung and you have taller hangers in place, we are limited in options. From the images you forwarded, you have a T44 axle. I recommend the Correct Track Trailer Alignment and Lift Kit for tandem axle, # RR23QX. This raises the trailer height by either 1-1/4" or 2-1/4" working with your existing leaf spring suspension system. The brackets attach to hangers and supply new, lower mounting point for springs, which results in...

  • Replacement Key Solution for Lock and Key with FIC 038 Stamped On It
  • I may have a solution for you but there aren't any keys that match an FIC 038 lock; most FIC keys we have available are 3-- or 4-- codes and we won't have one that matches 038. You may want to consider either having keys cut by a locksmith that match your existing ones, or you could change your door latches to something new like the Bauer Keyless Entry Motor Home Door Lock # BA64FR. This would be the only available solution we could offer you and would work if your door has a cutout that...

  • Width of Solera Awning Fabric and Arms Explained
  • The fabric of the Solera 18" Projection Window Awning Roller # LCV000335057 that you referenced is 54 inches wide so that would be how wide of shade it would provide. For a 66 inch wide awning fabric you'd need the part # LCV000335060 instead since you mentioned that figure. The width of the support arms part # LCV000334750 that you'd use with this awning is 2 inches.

  • Correct MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for a 2017 Keystone Cougar XLite Fifth Wheel
  • The MORryde CRE3000 equalizers, like part # MR27ZR, fit with 9/16" wet bolts so the bolts that come with the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers # MR46ZR will fit and you just need to compare the 2-1/4" shackles to what you currently have. Measure from the center of one bolt hole on the shackles to the center of the other bolt hole and if this is 2-1/4" then you're good to go! If they measure longer than that, we also have the kit # MR76ZR which has the same parts just...

  • Complete Replacement Awning for 2015 Keystone Cougar XLite 28SGS
  • The full kits we sell like the # LC56AF you looked at start at 11' wide. You could use this or the black version # LCV000334909-362243 if you have the space and would like the XL awning with the 9'8" projection. These arms require 78" of space on the wall from the awning rail straight down for each bracket. It also requires at least 4-1/2" of clearance between the awning rail and the top of your entry door. If you also need to replace the awning rail extrusion you can use # LC715216 or...

  • Recommended Cover for a 28 Foot 2013 Keystone Cougar XLite 28SGS 5th Wheel Trailer
  • The best cover for your 28' 2013 Keystone Cougar XLite 28SGS 5th Wheel Trailer is the Adco Olefin HD RV Cover item # AD99ZR. This cover will protect your trailer in all climates. The contoured cover conforms to the shape of your trailer and secures with the integrated straps so it won't flap in the wind. The HD fabric blocks 99.8 of UV rays and the material also beads moisture instead of allowing it to pool into standing water that can damage the cover. My favorite part about the Adco...
