• Base Plate Kit Needed to Tow 2013 Ford Focus Using Falcon 2 Tow Bar with No Crossbar
• You can just install one of the Direct-Connect base plate kits on your 2013 Ford Focus so that it is compatible with your Roadmaster Falcon 2 # RM-520 Tow Bar. If your Focus is an ST model then you need part # RM-524442-5 but if you have a non-ST model (without the Adaptive Cruise Control) then you need part # RM-524430-5. From the picture you sent in I think you have the original Falcon tow bar, but the base plate kits will work regardless. For a complete flat towing setup you will need...

• Removing the Tail Lights on a 2012 Ford Focus Hatch Back for Trailer Wiring Installation
• You will need to remove some trim panels in the rear cargo area of your 2012 Ford Focus in order to gain access to the tail light wiring. If you look at the instructions I have linked for the Curt wiring harness, # C56140, there are some helpful pictures. The tail lights may need to be persuaded slightly because the seals around them can stick. If there are additional fasteners holding on the lights, they may be revealed when you remove the trim panels in the cargo area.

• At this time there is not a trailer hitch available that is confirmed to fit your 2017 Ford Focus Electric Hatchback.

This is an excellent carrier that can support up to 2 bikes that weigh 60 pounds total, features SuperCush...

• Will the Yakima FrontLoader # Y02103 Fit on My 2014 Focus Hatchback and Allow Me to Open the Hatch?
• I have a solution for you. I went ahead and contacted my tech at Yakima, and they confirmed that the total length of the FrontLoader # Y02103 is 56 inches long. The length front the furthest forward position of your front crossbar on your 2014 Focus Hatchback to the line where the line where the roof and the hatch meets is 57 inches. With that measurement, you will have about 1 inch of clearance between the back of the rack and your rear hatch. If the rear hatch of your Focus crosses that...

• SnapPad Jack Pads Recommendation for Class C Motorhome
• For your application you'll likely need the SnapPad Jack Pads for Class A and C Motorhomes w/ 9" Round Jack Feet # SP54FR2 since your 2022 Jayco 30Z motorhome is a Class C. We don't have a fit list though so you'll just need to measure the round plate at the bottom of the jacks and if they measure 9" the this kit is what you're needing! If you measure something else please let me know what you find and I'll be more than happy to see if we have something else that will fit better.

• Can 3 Spacers be Used for Curt 11294 Hitch Install on 2007 Ford Focus
• Thank you for the photos of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11294 install on your 2007 Ford Focus. While it does look like you have the hitch in the correct position, I do have a few things for you to check. The first few being that your hitch is lined up correctly, and that the hitch mounting brackets didn't get bent during shipping (which happens often enough that I've attached our help article on this). The reason those questions are the first to look into is because you not only...

• Hitch Recommendation for a 2014 Ford Focus Sedan
• Since you plan on towing a small trailer you will want a draw bar so the Curt part # C11158 would be your best choice. You will need drawbar number 3593. The drawbar will insert into the hitch and will provide the attachment point for the hitch to the trailer. You will also need a hitch ball to complete the connection. For that you would want the part # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball or part # 19258 for a 2 inch hitch ball. For trailer wiring you would want part # 118548. I attached...

• Hitch and Motorcycle Carrying Options for 2012 Ford Focus Hatchback
• The hitches that are available for your 2012 Focus Hatchback are all Class I hitches, that have a 200 lb tongue weight capacity. This would mean that 200 lbs is the maximum amount of weight that would be suspended from the hitch, which would include the weight of the carrier. I'm sorry to say that you wouldn't be able to carry your bike on a hitch mounted carrier. This being said, you could still install a hitch like the Curt Hitch # C11158 and carry your bike on a small utility trailer....

• Availability of 3000-3500lb Leaf Spring With 26-3/4 Inch Length
• The best way to measure an existing leaf spring is to put the trailer up on jack stands and let the axle hang, then measure the center to center distance between the spring eyes. The closest leaf spring we offer to the 26-3/4 inch measurement you mentioned is the # SP-210275 which has a length of 27 inches. Using two of these springs would provide a capacity of 3100 lbs.

• Can 2016 Ford Focus be Towed Behind Motorhome
• I pulled up the owners manual of your 2016 Ford Focus and it states that the only way you can tow the vehicle behind a motorhome will be with a tow dolly like the Demco Kar Karddy SS # DM9713045 which would suspend the front drive axle and only the rear wheels would roll.

• Installing MaxxAir Roof Vent With Fan to 12V Power
• For your MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan - Manual Lift - 4 Speed - Smoke # MA00-06401K I recommend running the appropriate wire and not using a converter. Using a converter for power will make installation faster but will also give you a unit that needs to dissipate heat and that is definitely not ideal for use in a tight space. I recommend using # 16-1-1 sold by the foot to wire the unit to 12V DC power.
