  • Replacement Steps for SCS/Frigette 733-0074 On RV
  • I would be more than happy to help you find replacement steps for the Scs/Frigette 733-0074 steps on your 2008 Monaco Dynasty Renaissance IV! We don't have any exact conversions but we do have replacement 2-step steps that you can potentially use. You'll just want to choose the steps that fit your application best. The 42 Series Kwikee Step # LC372779 is 25-1/4" wide and has a mounting plate that is 30-1/4" wide x 24-11/16" deep. The 47 Series Kwikee Step # LC427247 is 26-1/4" wide and...

  • Is a Friction Sway Control a Good Choice for 2007 Honda Element Towing Camper
  • A friction control sway bar like the part # 83660 wouldn't hurt your towing setup on your 2007 Honda Element, but if you were asking about a weight distribution system the hitch you have (and all hitches that fit your vehicle) are not rated for weight distribution. Friction sway control units do a great job fighting sway that comes from high winds and passing semis but wouldn't stop persistent sway.

  • Replacement 1/2" Conical Tooth Washers for Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch 75659 for Honda Element
  • In order to install the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75659 which is a fit for a 2006 Honda Element, you'll need to be sure to use the included conical tooth washers which ensure the nuts don't loosen. We don't sell just the conical tooth washer separately but you might be able to get them from the hardware store. If not, I can't recommend this but I would probably just use standard washers and locknuts if I were you. We do however sell complete hardware packs, the...

  • Installation of Two Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carriers on 2008 Honda Element
  • Anytime you are going to haul cargo on the roof of your 2008 Honda Element you will want to check the owners manual or with the Honda dealer for what the roof capacity is for your vehicle. The roof capacity will let you know how many pounds you will be able to haul on the roof of your vehicle. To install two of the Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carriers, part # TH834, on the roof of your Honda Element you will need to install a roof rack with cross bars that run from side-to-side. You will need...

  • Installation of TowReady Wiring Harness # 118465 in 2006 Honda Element
  • The installation video you referenced shows TowReady Wiring Harness # 118465 in a 2007 model year Honda Element. Please note that this wiring harness is not a specified fit for your 2006 model year; it is a fit for various versions of model years 2007 through 2010. The specified wiring harnesses for your 2006 Element are both the hard-wire type, not a T-One plug in type. The specified wiring kit for your 2006 Element are # C59236 from Curt. It could certainly happen that the vehicle...

  • Will Yakima MegaWarrior Roof Basket Fit Surco Crossbars on a 2007 Honda Element
  • The mounting hardware that comes with the Yakima MegaWarrior # Y07080 will fit on your Surco crossbars. The basket fits a crossbar spread (center to center distance from one bar to the other) of 30 to 38 inches. On your 2007 Honda Element the spread is around 29-1/2 to 30 inches so that will also be compatible with the MegaWarrior.

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Kit for a 2005 Honda Element
  • Yes we do! I recommend going with the 4 Pole Trailer Connector # C59496. Essentially all you will be doing is using the quick splicers to connect the kit to the different lights functions; you can find out which wires are for which functions by using the included circuit tester. You will also need to run the included black wire up to the battery on your 2005 Honda Element to power the Modulite. You will need to connect the black wire to the included fuse holder and then connect the fuse...

  • Recommended Base Plate Kit for Towing a 2003 Honda Element Behind a Super C Class C Motor Home
  • I would recommend the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, item # 1541-1, for your 2003 Honda Element. The XL style base plate kits offer the versatility and provide mounting options for many of the accessories people decide are needed once getting started flat towing, like the Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard, item # RM-4000. The Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar - 6,000 lbs, item # RM-520, is designed to work with the XL base plates and includes the quick disconnects needed to quickly and easily attach...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2006 Honda Element EX-P
  • Trailer wiring harness # C56029 has not been tested and confirmed as a fit for the 2006 Honda Element so I cannot recommend it. The safe bet is to stick with a hardwire harness such as # C59496. I have linked the installation instructions for you.

  • How to Route Trailer Wiring After Making the Connections on a 2004 Honda Element
  • You are correct, the instructions, linked for reference, do not specify how you would run the 4-Way from the connection point on your 2004 Honda Element to he out side of the vehicle. There are a couple of ways you can do this. First, you can stow the 4-Way in the vehicle and then when needed, pull it out of the back door/hatch. You can close the hatch on the wiring as long as it is not pinched in a locking or hinging mechanism. The weather stripping on the rear door will prevent the...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2008 Honda Element SC
  • I went on the Remco site and looked up a 2008 Honda Element. I did not see the SC model excluded anywhere in the application charts. It stated that all models, manual or automatic, 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive, can be flat towed. You will want to look in the owners manual for the vehicle on how it should be towed. The only Blue Ox base plates for the vehicle do exclude the SC model, but the Roadmaster Base plates, # 1541-3 will work with all models. These are XL style base plates which...

  • Is There A Replacement Hardware Kit Available To Transfer A Roadmaster Baseplate To Another Vehicle
  • Baseplates are intended to only be used on one vehicle and to be considered compromised after removal from the first vehicle so the safest option would be to replace the entire Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # 1541-5. You can try reaching out to Roadmaster to see if they have a replacement hardware kit but they'll likely tell you the same thing.

  • Will the K Source Universal Clip-On Extra Large Towing Mirror fit a 2005 Honda Element
  • The K-Source universal towing mirror, # KS3891, are designed to fit as many different mirror styles as possible. As long as the factory mirror on your 2005 Honda Element has a lip between the glass and the mirror housing, you can clip this towing mirror on. I have included a link to all of the universal fit towing mirror options we carry.

  • Does the PortablePet HE3052 fit on 2011 Honda Element?
  • I went out and measured the PortablePET Twistep, part # HE3052. I've included a diagram that details the measurements from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back plate of the swivel, which will always be the closest part. The closer of the two holes is 4-1/4 inches away and the further back is 5-3/4 inches. From our test videos, the distance should be right around 3 inches, meaning that the step should work, and I recommend using the rear pin hole for better positioning in relation...

  • Which Platform Roof Rack Is Compatible With A Spare Tire Carrier?
  • I have a solution for you, but there isn't a spare tire carrier that is confirmed to fit the Inno Shaper 80 Roof Cargo Basket INXA568, so I do not recommend using the Rhino Rack Spare Tire Carrier # RSWH with it. For a platform rack that will accommodate many accessories and a spare tire carrier, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Universal Pioneer Platform Rack for Crossbars - Aluminum - 58" Long x 47" Wide # RR42115BF. This is compatible with the Rhino Rack Spare Tire Carrier for Rooftop Alloy...

  • Replacement Hubs with 4 on 4 Bolt Pattern for 1" Non-Tapered Spindle on Boat Trailer with 12" Wheels
  • A non-tapered spindle with a 1.00" diameter will use an # L44643 inner and outer bearing, so you'll want to use the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 4 on 4 - Galvanized # AKIHUB-440-2-G-1K, which have a 4 on 4 bolt pattern and work with 12" wheels. These hubs are galvanized so they're ideal for boat trailers, have a 2000-lbs capacity and are the only available capacity that will fit on those spindles. I've linked a short review video of these for you to have a look at.

  • Does Installing etrailer Hitch Part e78KR Affect Ground Clearance on a 2005 Honda Element
  • The ground clearance may be reduced some, not much. It depends on whether or not something under the vehicle sits lower. The hitch should not stick down so far as to make going over curbs a problem I have added a link to the instructions below that will give you a good idea of where the hitch mounts.
