- What Is The Weight Rating Of The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock e98880
- Trailer Hitch Pins like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches - Flush - 2-5/8" Span - Chrome # e98880 and # e98881 you were looking at do not have a specific weight rating due to them being so much stronger than the rest of the components used for towing.
A hitch pins like the # e98880 and # e98881 will still be holding long after the tow bar, ball mount, or trailer hitch receiver has failed.
As an example a rough sheer strength of a similar 5/8" diameter bolt is nearly...

- I went out to the warehouse and measure the Ultra-Fab Locking Multi-Purpose Access Door for RVs # UF48-979010. It's going to require an opening approximately 6" wide by 6" tall due to the beveled in section that allows the door to sit flush in the bracket.
I recommend using some butyl tape # AL28FJ around inside of the mounting flange as well as some non-sag sealant # 344270341437-1 to prevent water from leaking in.

- Most TPMS sensors like the TST TPMS for RVs # TST-507-RV-4-C will come with the tire temperature warning set for 158 degrees Fahrenheit. This is typically a good point for the alarm to be set in most climates on the Castle Rock ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # 274-000029. Do note in much colder climates the temperature may never come close to this temperature unless it is near failure or the tires are misaligned on your trailer. Once a tire begins to climb over this temperature there is...

- That is correct. The MaxxAir MaxxFan Mini Roof Vent item # MA00-04401M is not reversible, it only moves air one way which is out.
For a reversible fan you will want the MaxxFan Plus Roof Vent item # MA00-04500K. It has a ten speed fan motor, powered lift, thermostat, rain sensor, remote, and most importantly is reversible.
I have linked an installation video below to help you get it set up.

- I will try to help you but I am not familiar with how the RVI TBC+ works as we do not sell it. The Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles Roadmaster, # RM-156-25 performs the same function and its quite a bit less expensive so I can advise you how it works. With it you only need to pull fuse 16 but ultimately for specific questions you will want to refer to your Equinox's owner's manual. GM put out an update for the 2010-2017 Chevy Equinox and 2010-2017 GMC Terrains with...

- Thank you for providing the weight specs for your 2011 Coachmen Catalina 21BH tandem-axle travel trailer.
The trailer's empty/dry hitch weight of 563-lbs suggests that when you have it loaded for a trip, with water and propane tanks filled and all your supplies and gear loaded, the actual loaded tongue weight (TW) will be more like 800 to 900-lbs. This loaded TW is what you want to use to select a weight distribution system. The linked article may be useful to you.

- To add a cover to your 2014 Coachman Catalina 273BH travel trailer, I recommend the Adco Olefin HD RV Cover for Travel Trailers item # AD27ZR. This cover is designed to work in all climates.
The Adco item # AD27ZR is the best cover that we carry. Not only does it protect against snow, sun, and rainfall but it offers breathable protection and multiple zippers. This means you can access various parts of your trailer without completely removing the cover while it is in storage.

- Thanks for the pictures! For your 2016 Coachmen Leprechaun, I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs item # F22ZR. I really like the Firestone airbags because they use a crimp rolled design which is much more durable than the band clamp used with the Air Lift kits like item # AL88242.
These air bags have a 5,000 lbs capacity that will level out the rear end of your motorhome when you are flat towing your Jeep Liberty. All the mounting brackets and hardware are included for...

- While I wasn't able to get an exact cutout dimensional sheet from Furrion, I was able to find some dimensions that you can use to get an idea of what kind of cutout you need (see attached). The Furrion RV Sound bar w/ USB Charge # FSB2N25MCBL mounts flush to the wall so the cutout only needs to accommodate the back part of the stereo and the speakers. The stereo measures 10-15/16" wide x 2-3/8" deep and then the outermost speakers are 25-7/8" apart on center. You'll want your cutout to...

- You wouldn't necessarily need to go with a larger tire when installing the Dexter Over/Under Kit part # K71-385-00 on your Coachmen Clipper. It's not required at all and unless you really wanted to I wouldn't mess with it.

- According to Curt, the Curt Trailer Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier # c31006 does not have a specific weight capacity.
The reason is, this is designed to carry any size spare tire, and so its capacity is essentially whatever the tongue weight capacity of your trailer hitch is.
I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well of the Curt Trailer Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier # c31006.
view full answer... - What is the Size Difference in Inches Between a 205/75/14 and 225/75/14 Tire
- Tires like the Kenda Karrier 225/75r14 # AM10256 are going to be 1.2" taller and 0.7" wider than your 205/75r14 tires, so as long as you've got that much clearance to the fenders (at the top) and trailer frame (on the inside), you can use the larger tires as a replacement.
You'll also want to make sure you've got about 3" of clearance from the top of the fender to the tires as well, when changing tire sizes.

- I can help you determine the weight rating of the axles on your 1983 Coachmen travel trailer but there are a lot of models out there and since your trailer is a pretty old model it is very possible that someone could have changed out the axles and there is no way of knowing if they actually put exact replacements on it (unless a record was kept of course).
To determine the immediate weight rating of your axles you can simply look at the GAWV (gross axle weight rating) which can be located...
view full answer... - What Does the Capacity Mean for Sumo Springs on a 2018 Coachmen Freelander
- This is a great question and one that can cause some confusion. SumoSprings capacity is determined by how much weight it takes to compress the spring down to 50% of its original body height, so a spring like the # SSF-106-40 will compress down to half of it's unweighted height with 500-lbs of pressure. The # SSF-106-47 is going to be a stronger spring with it's 1000-lbs capacity. Keep in mind, these aren't designed to upgrade the GVWR, but they're designed to help cushion the load that...

- The easiest tire chains to install are the Konig Tire Chains item # TH01594245 you were looking at. These are what's called a drape over style. They have built-in assisted tensioning that automatically tightens around your tires as you drive. The diamond pattern offers constant traction and a smoother ride compared to your standard ladder pattern chain.
I have linked an installation video below so you can see how to get these chains installed. If you're not familiar with tire chains I...

- In order to confirm whether you can fit a generator carrier on your back bumper of your 2020 Coachmen Leprechaun, it really depends on the dimensions of your rear bumper. I went ahead and did some research on your vehicle, and I discovered that the width of all options of the 2020 Leprechaun have an exterior width of 100 inches. Another relevant dimension is your towing equipment that you are using to flat-tow your jeep wrangler.
With that being said, I recommend the Mount-n-Lock GennyGo...
