Cargo Carrier on the Rear of my 5th Wheel Camper
It is very common to see the 23x59 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches part # C18151 mounted on the rear of motorhomes using the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver part # E-100 which is rated for a gross trailer weight of 3500 lbs. and 350 lbs.of tongue weight. That said the carrier and hitch can both handle the weight of what you want to carry. As far as if the bumper can handle it you will need to check with your camper's manufaturer to ensure it can handle that weight.

How to Determine Correct Disc Brakes for Trailer
Where there are no specific fits for your trailer, there are disc brakes that can work. You didn't say if you were looking for slip-on or complete hub assemblies, but I can help you out. For slip on rotors, you just need to know your brake mounting flange and hub's wheel bolt pattern. For example, the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 12" Rotor - 6 on 5-1/2 - Stainless Steel - 5,200 lbs to 6,000 lbs # K2R526S requires your axle have a 5-bolt brake mounting flange and a hub with a 6 on 5-1/2" wheel...

Is There An Easy Way To Determine If I Have A Gen 1 or Gen 2 Sidewinder Pin Box
This is a great question and there actually is a really quick and easy way to tell if you have the current (Gen 2) version of the Reese Sidewinder like # RP34FR or an older Gen 1 design. All you have to do is look at the pin box itself and find the Reese brand decal on the unit. The older versions all have square or rectangular decals while the current generation uses a circular decal. I have attached a picture of the current Gen 2 unit below so you can see the round decal used.

Can Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution be Used on Trailer with Under Slung Coupler
The type of coupler you have now is an underslung style since it is attached to the bottom of your trailer frame. Now the Equal-i-zer kit # EQ37141ET can fit your trailer but you'll have to get a little creative with how you attach the frame bracket. You'll need to weld the bracket to the side of the frame like in the picture I attached since your frame dimensions are too tall and you'd need the brackets lower to compensate for the underslung coupler. Now the other thing worth mentioning...

Determining If Provider ST205/75R15 Wheel and Tire Combo Will Fit 2015 Forest River Rockwood TT
Based on the information I was able to find on your 2015 Rockwood Signature Ultra Light Travel Trailer it likely came with 15" wheels and ST225/75R15 tires. If that is size of your current tires then the Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Tire w 15" Viking Aluminum Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - LR C - Black # A15R45BMMFL will fit just fine as they have the same 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern as your current wheels. The ST205/75R15 tire will be just over 1" shorter overall, and right at 1/2" narrower. These...

Is One of Side of Trailer's Bearings More Likely to Fail than the Other
The side of the trailer does not usually influence the likelihood of trailer bearing failure. Neither the driver or the passenger side of a trailer is less likely to fail over the other. Most likely you just had bad luck and the fact it both times on the driver side was coincidence. Ironically what typically causes bearing failure is putting too much grease in the hub using either an EZ lube fitting or Bearing Buddy which causes the seal to fail and then the bearing soon there after. I...

Best Replacement for the Lippert Smart Jack Electric Trailer Jack
The Lippert Smart Jack Electric Trailer Jack part # LC643589 is a good innovative option with memory features but it does have a design flaw in my opinion. The touchpad or controls are on the top of the jack. The reason that this is a problem is because the seals around the controls break down over time and water gets inside ruining the jack. This could be attributed to rough use, bad seals, but the touchpad being directly on the top of the jack means water can come straight in as opposed...

Troubleshooting Lippert Ground Control System Where Jacks Are Retracted but System Says they Aren't
Yeah that is frustrating. It sounds like the module maybe needs to be reset. Try cutting all power to it and then powering it back on and see if that helps. If that does not fix the problem it would be time for a new module with the part # LC304136 that you referenced.

Determining Correct Replacement Brake Assemblies For 2011 Forest River Prime Time Tracer 230 FBS
Based on the weight of your 2011 Forest River Prime Time Tracer 230 FBS your trailer should have tandem 3500lb axles, which would mean your axles use replacement braking assemblies # 23-468-469.

Can Westlake ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire & Wheel Replace 16x6J Wheel
You can replace a 16 x 6J wheel with a 16 x 6 wheel, as the J is just the wheel bead seat pattern, or the shape of the wheel where the tire sits. So it won't affect the fit whatsoever, and the Westlake you asked about will work superbly; the correct part number is the following: - Westlake ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 16" Silver Mod Wheel - 8 on 6-1/2 - Load Range E # LHAW133 The # LHAW133 is a really nice choice as I'm partial to Westlake due to their deep 10/32" tread depth, which...

Rear Hitch Solution for 2018 Rockwood Signature Ultra Lite 8329SS
Since your bumper hangs below the rear frame it would be hard to mount a frame mounted hitch without taking the RV to a fabricator who could hopefully come up with something custom fit. Otherwise you'd have to use a bumper mounted hitch like the Curt # E-100.

Replacement Brake Assemblies and Hub Drums for 3500 lb Axle
Given the bearing numbers you provided, you have a typical 3500 lb axle which uses a 10 inch brake assembly. I'd recommend going with a self adjusting brake assembly like # AKEBRK-35-SA which includes a left and right assembly. The mounting hardware is available separately as # BRKH10B. I'd also suggest taking a look at the armature surface of the brake drum that your brake magnet rides against. If it's grooved at all, you'll want to replace it as the magnet won't get the best grab on...
