Expert Answers about Ford E-Series Cutaway


  • Recommended Weight Distribution System For 800-1100lb Tongue Weight Compatible With 8" Trailer Frame
  • I have another option for you, but since the frame on your trailer is 8" tall you will not be able to use an Equal-i-zer weight distribution hitch like the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control - 12,000 lbs GTW, 1,200 lbs TW # EQ37120ET as it can only accommodate frames up to 6" tall. Instead I recommend the Reese Weight Distribution w/out Shank - Trunnion Bar - 12,000 lbs GTW, 1,200 lbs TW # RP66022 with the Chain Hangers for Reese Weight Distribution Systems...

  • Brake Controller Connection Port Location on 2016 Ford E-450 RV Cutaway
  • If the Ford E-450 cutaway chassis your Class C is built on has a factory 7-way trailer connector it should also have a connection port for a trailer brake controller. You should find this behind the small dash panel shown in the linked photo. The brake controller harness you referenced, part # 3034-P, will work for any Tekonsha or Draw-Tite trailer brake controller, including popular options like the Prodigy P3 # 90195, the P2 # 90885 and the Primus IQ # TK90160. If it turns out your 7-way...

  • Installing Trailer Brake Controller on 2015 Thor Axis Motorhome
  • As long as your 2015 Thor Axis (which was built on the Ford E-350 or E-450 chassis) features a factory 4-Way or 7-Way connector at the rear then there will be a factory port behind the dash that will connect to the Plug-In Adapter # 3034-P. This port is specifically located behind the access panel in the center of the dash. You will need to carefully pry this panel out and undo the locking tabs that are keeping it in place. The mating connector to the Wiring Adapter will be behind this...

  • Recommend Window Deflectors for Motorhome On a Ford E-Series Chassis
  • The correct WeatherTech Side Window Air Deflectors for a motorhome on a Ford E-Series Chassis from 2015- 2020 is part # WT80031. The WeatherTech Side Window Air Deflectors install inside the window channel so there is no tape required which I think is what you are looking for. That said, this method of installation is the only option for a Ford E-Series Chassis.

  • Why are There Two 1-1/2 inch Diameter Roadmaster Sway Bars for 2017 Ford E-350 Cutaway
  • The reason there are two 1-1/2 inch diameter Roadmaster sway bars that fit your 2017 Ford E-350 is that the # RM-1139-198 is for versions of the vehicle that have automatic snow chains that deploy and the part # RM-1139-117 is for the versions that do not have the chains. So based on whether you have the snow chains is how you'd pick which set to go with!

  • Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier For 2020 Ford E-350 Class C Motorhome
  • To use the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 with your 2020 Ford E-350 Class C spare tire you can use a wheel spacer mounted to the carrier to allow the wheel to fit on the mount with the tire reversed on the carrier. I have seen that the mount has been used with the dual tire mounted with the hub face toward the vehicle. On the Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195225 you can use a Roadmaster High-Low Adapter # RM-048-4 to raise the carrier higher to achieve the...

  • Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Spring for 2021 E-Series Cutaway
  • I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle, #F22ZR. These have 5,000-lb Capacity. Ride-Rite air springs enhance your factory suspension for safety and stability when you are hauling heavy loads. They reduce strain on your rear axle, keeping your Ford E-Series Cutaway level. While they do not raise your vehicle in any significant way above factory, they eliminate the sag caused by the weight. The air bags can be adjusted manually, side to side,...

  • Extended Ball Mount For Towing an Enclosed Trailer Behind a Motorhome
  • I have a couple options for you as the Curt High-Low Adapter 45797 # C27KR is only designed to be used with tow bars when flat towing. The Curt Class III Ball Mount with 2-5/16" Ball # C45065 is only 9-1/4" long from the receiver hitch pin hole to the ball mount hole. The Curt Ball Mount # D-28 also has a 6" drop like the other Curt ball mount but this mount is 14-1/4" long from the receiver pin to ball mount hole. That would gain you 5 inches without using an adapter. The ball mount...

  • Parts Needed for Converting Electric Awning of 2018 Thor RV to Smart Awning
  • We do have kits that are designed to convert a standard RV awning to a smart awning but they include new arms and heads since that's the easiest and best way to make the change. We have 69 inch and 63 inch options available in black and white. In the 69 inch arm length we have the black # LC759517 or white # LC759405. For 63 inch we have the part # LC759516 for black or # LC759404. You wouldn't have to buy new awning fabric though as you can reuse what you have now with any of the mentioned...

  • Rear Suspension Enhancement Recommendation For 2021 Ford E-450 Cutaway Chassis
  • We do have an option to upgrade the support for the rear suspension on your 2021 Ford E-450 cutaway chassis, and the best option that will fit are SumoSprings: - SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs # SSR-106-47-1 The # SSR-106-47-1 have a 5,000 lb capacity and are going to improve the stability and handling of your E450. The reason for that is they engage as needed, and compress based on the amount of weight being transferred. So when you have a load in the cargo area, or when you...

  • E-Bike Rack Carrier Recommendation for Use at Rear of Motorhome
  • We do have one solution we can provide. None of the hitch bike racks we offer for E-bikes are rated for use behind RVs/trailers, but the Ultra Fab motorcycle carrier part # UF48-979033 is a motorcycle carrier which is rated for use behind RVs so it would be a great option although a bit overrated.

  • Rear Sway Bar Recommendation for RV Built on 2015 Ford E-450 Cutaway
  • For your 2015 RV built on a Ford E-450 cutaway chassis the best rear sway bar we offer is the part # RM-1139-147 which is a confirmed fit. The rear sway bars are the suspension modification that makes the best improvement in ride quality so I know this will work very well for you. To see the install process check out the install video I attached. A 17/32 inch size hole will need to be drilled. The torque specs are listed in the 7th step of the instructions that are attached in a link...

  • Will The CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors Fit A 2022 Ford E-350?
  • Yes, the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors # CM11980-2 will indeed work on your 2022 Ford E-350. These mirrors are highly adjustable and can be made to fit virtually any factory side view mirror. You would be hard pressed to find a mirror they would not fit on. The telescoping design is a great feature and will give you good visibility, even with larger, longer motorhomes. I have linked our review/install video below if you want to take a look.

  • Hitch Bike Rack that Can be Used at Rear of Flat Towed Vehicle
  • I attached a link to a page that has all of the bike racks we offer that are rated for the rougher ride quality found at the rear of flat towed vehicles like your motorhome and Grand Cherokee. One of our more popular options is the Yakima Holdup platform rack # Y02443 which is a platform rack that only touches the bikes by the tires. Or for a hanging bike rack the Yakima Ridgeback part # Y02458 would be a great option as well.

  • Would Lippert Awning Cap Part # LC423751 Fit Power Awning of 2020 Thor Quantum RC 25
  • If your power awning is a Solera powered awning the replacement cap part # LC423751 that you referenced would be correct for it. If you have a different brand though this most likely isn't what you'd need.

  • How To Help Control Sway On a 2017 Thor Motorhome 22FE
  • The SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs that I recommend for your 2017 Thor Motorhome 22FE is part # SSF-106-47 for the front and part # SSR-106-47-1 for the rear. The SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs will absolutely help with sway as well as porpoising. There is also another option for you to help control sway as well, the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar part # RM-1139-117. These are the two most common upgrades on a motorhome to help with sway and other stability issues. In regards to trailer...

  • Inflation Kit Recommendation for 2022 Thor Four Winds Motorhome with Dual 16" Wheels
  • The Wheel Masters Airless 2-Hose Inflation Kit WM80092 you mentioned is designed for 16" wheels while the Wheel Masters 2-Hose Inflation Kit # WM8005 is for 22-1/2" wheels so the 80092 would be my recommendation if it wasn't a discontinued kit. Because of this I recommend checking out the Wheel Masters 2-Hose Inflation Kit # WM8002 which has the same type of design as the first two kits you were looking at. I'm also linking our selection of hose inflation kits that work with your 16"...
