Upgrading Wheels and Tires On a 2021 Forest River Rockwood 1940LTD Travel Trailer
I recommend just changing the tires to the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10130 on your 2021 Forest River Rockwood 1940LTD. This will allow you to maintain your same wheels and tire clearance that you currently have. They have a speed rating of 81 MPH (M) and a load rating D for 1,220lbs per tire. If you would rather have the 13" aluminum wheel, the Aluminum Hi-Spec Series S5 Trailer Wheel - 13" x 5" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Silver # AM22323HWT, would go nicely with...

Is Extra Grease Needed When Installing the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3.5K Axles
The Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K comes pre-lubed which means the bearings are already packed for you but you would still want to add extra grease to the spindle and then fill the hubs as needed prior to use. If you don't already have some compatible grease I would simply recommend ordering the Marine Wheel Bearing Grease part # L154FR which comes in 3-3oz cartridges that you can use with or without a grease gun. The color of the grease won't matter as far as compatibility...

How To Find Correct Replacement Wheel Bearings for Forest River Rockwood Freedom Camper
In order to find the correct replacement wheel bearing kit for a trailer such as the Forest River Rockwood Freedom Camper you'll need to know the axle capacity of said trailer. This is most easily found by crawling under the trailer and reading the axle tag in the center of the beam. We don't have a way of looking up the axle capacity for a trailer but based on the size of this one, I'd say you're looking at either a 2,000 lb or 2,200 lb axle and in which case you'd use either part # BK1-100...

Replacement Wheels and Tires For a 2011 Forest River Rockwood Freedom 1970 Pop Up Camper
I recommend using the Kenda Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire with 13" Black Mod Wheel # AM31990 on your 2011 Forest River Rockwood Freedom 1970 pop up camper. These tires are the heavier rated D range which is good for up to 1,610lbs per tire. The Tire # AM1ST77 itself also carries a 5-year warranty from the manufacturer. Since you only have the 1-1/2" of clearance I cannot recommend moving to a larger size wheel or tire. Be sure to use some Tire Covers # 290-3974 to protect the...

How To Choose the Correct Ball Mount for a 2018 VW Atlas
In order to choose the correct ball mount for a trailer you first need to measure the distance from ground to the top inside edge of the trailer hitch on the vehicle while level. Then, measure the distance from the ground to the bottom of the coupler on the trailer while level. The difference between these two measurements is the amount of rise/drop you need to look for in a ball mount. If the trailer is higher than the vehicle then you need a rise or if the trailer is lower than the vehicle...

Forest River Powerwinch Switch Boot
The Pollak # PK25370 is designed to fit a standard toggle switch which is what appears to be on your winch. It is compatible with switches that have a 15/32 or .4688 diameter threaded mounting stem. If you have access to a digital caliper like # PTW80157, it'll be easy to get that diameter off your existing switch. Unfortunately, RV's and campers aren't like passenger vehicles that have a ready reference that tells you which model uses these parts. If you could reply with the model number...

Recommended Replacement Tires For a 2003 Forest River Rockwood 1940LTD Camping Trailer
I recommend using the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10130 on your 2003 Forest River Rockwood 1940LTD. While this tire does only have a capacity of 1,220lbs per tire it does exceed the GVWR for your trailer. Yes, the Load Range E Kenda # AM10140 does have a higher capacity of 1,520lbs per tire but this can lead to more bouncing of the trailer. Which will transfer more shock inside the trailer and can be felt by your tow vehicle. As far as the speed difference...

Gauge of Wire for Brake Output and 12 Volt Accessory of Brake Controller Install Kit ETBC7
The # ETBC7 kit uses 10 gauge wire for the brake output and 12 volt accessory circuits. 14 gauge wire like you mentioned would not be enough and would most likely give you weak brake performance.

Determining if Bearing Buddy Could Fit 2006 Forest River Rockwood Freedom 1910
We don't have a way to determine that from here but if you can pull off one of your current caps and measure the bore of the hub where the cap goes we can verify if the part # BB2047 would fit. If the dimension you find is 2.047 inch this would be a fit. Another really common size that might be correct is the part # BB1980A which fits the bore size of 1.98 inch.

How to Find Replacement Brakes and Hubs for 2005 Rockwood Freedom
There are quite a few models of the 2005 Rockwood Freedom and since it is older there is no specific information about your axle. I'm assuming you're saying you have a 2,750 lb axle, which likely uses # L44649 bearings. You will need to double check this. If you find the serial number on your axle tag the axle manufacturer should have the bearing information. Otherwise you will need to pull and measure the inner diameter. If that is what you have, the closest thing for a hub and drum...

Wrench Needed To Remove Trailer Wheel Lug Nuts and Most Common Lug Nut Sizes on Trailer Wheels
Since most trailer manufacturers do not make wheel and tire information available to the general public, it is hard for me to tell you what size lug nuts you have on the wheel. I can tell you they do have caps over them. The most common size of lug nuts used on the trailer wheels are 13/16", 7/8" and 17-mm to 19-mm outer diameter lug nuts. I recommend to use a lug wrench like part # LW405 that comes with reversible sockets for you to remove the lug nuts.

Electric Trailer Jack Recommendation for a 2015 Forest River Rockwood Freedom 2280
On any trailer jack (let alone electric trailer jack) I've seen the outer tube is a consistent diameter. The only time the tube changes diameter is when you go from the outer tube to the inner tube, so it sounds like you'll need to cut open that lower opening just a little more. For an electric trailer jack I recommend the etrailer # EJ-3520-BBX if you have a battery bank on your 2015 Rockwood Freedom you want to tie it into, or the Buyers Products # 3370093500 if you don't have a battery...

Recommended Cover for Forest River Rockwood Freedom 2318G
The Adco Polypropylene RV Cover for Pop-Up Camper part # 290-2895 is what I recommend for a Forest River Rockwood Freedom 2318G. This cover is a bit taller than the other options so it will cover more of the box. It also has a cinch rope system for a tight fit and it comes with a two tear warranty. For tire covers, the Adco Ultra Tyre Gard RV Wheel Covers part # 290-3974 will be a great fit for the factory 13" wheels/tires.

Recommended Cover for a Forest River Rockwood 232ESP
I checked with Forest River and the listed box length of the Forest River Rockwood 232ESP is listed at 12' therefore, the Adco SFS AquaShed RV Cover for Pop Up Campers up to 14' Long part # 290-12293 would be a perfect fit. This cover has an integrated cinching system which can provide a tight fit, weighted buckles for an easy install, and comes with a two year warranty. We have found the 12' # 290-12292 to be slightly too short for your camper.
