The other two pins should not carry any voltage. If your vehicle connector displays different...

  • Can the Valterra RV Water Tank # R8066 be Installed So That it is Taller or Shorter
  • The Valterra RV Water Tank # R8048 can be installed standing up for laying down as is demonstrated in the 2 attached photos. If you have it oriented so that it sits taller the drain plug will already be in a position to drain properly. Should you choose to mount it so that it has a lower profile you will simply need to use one of the pre-drilled holes as a drain. If you finish drilling them through to the tank you will be able to use them as a drain as you can see in the attached picture...

  • The correct front mount trailer hitch for a 2016 Freedom Elite Motorhome on Ford E-450 Cutaway Chassis is the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 65053. This is the only available option for this chassis. It seems like you were looking at front mount hitches for a F-Series and not the E-Series which is where the confusion lies.

  • Floor Mat Options for a 2019 Ford E-450 Cutaway
  • For your 2019 Ford E-450 Cutaway, I recommend using WeatherTech All-Weather Front Floor Mats part # WTW51 for black, part # WTW51GR for gray, or part # WTW51TN for tan. Like you said, the manufacturer does not recommend using these or the thermoplastic option because you have the vinyl flooring. These recommendations are ruber, and not thermoplastic. The above floor mats are all custom fit options which means they are contoured specifically to match the footwell in your cutaway. I have...

  • Troubleshooting Curt TriFlex Brake Controller Keeping Motorhome from Turning On
  • If your motorhome has the 2015 Ford F-450 cab and chassis that you input for your vehicle info then the Wiring Adapter # C51436 is the problem. You should actually be using the Wiring Adapter # C51432 for your TriFlex # C24VV instead. When I spoke with my contact at Curt he said that for the Ford pickups if the wrong adapter is used then it does something to the anti-theft and keeps the vehicle from starting.

  • Will the Contender ST235/80R16 Radial Tire fit my 2012 E450 Ford Camper Van
  • There were a few different wheel and tire options on the 2012 Ford E450 Chassis so I can't tell you for sure but I can help you identify what you have and help find a match for it for you.

  • How To Fix Hard To See Gauge On Instrument Panel of Motorhome
  • I think the best option to help illuminate the instrument panel better in the daytime would be to take some LED strips like part # UCL90CB and line the top or bottom of the bezel which holds the instrument panel. This could then be wired to an on/off switch so you can turn them off at night. It would also provide you with plenty of extra light to illuminate other areas of the motorhome such as inside a cabinet or under the dash in the foot well area.

  • Replacement Powered Single Step for 2017 Thor Windsport Coach
  • I looked up your 2017 Thor Windsport Coach and it uses a single pull out step just like the Kwikee 28 Series part # LC3747453 that you referenced so this would easily replace what you have and work well. It will pull out automatically when you open the door and retract when you close it.

  • Recommended Steering Stabilizer For A 2018 Jayco Greyhawk 26Y
  • For a 2018 Jayco Greyhawk 26Y on a Ford E-450 chassis you would need the Roadmaster Exact Center Steering Stabilizer w/ Custom Brackets # RM47MR.
