  • Does Everchill RV Refrigerator with Integrated Ice Maker
  • The Everchill RV refrigerators we carry do not have an integrated water filter. Any filter would need to be an external version like the AquaFresh Exterior RV Water Filter - Qty 2 # A01-1132VP. This is an in-line filter with your water connections. We don't currently carry the model you referenced, but based on my research it doesn't have an integrated filter.

  • Why Can't Trailer with Weight Distribution Hitch Be Reversed
  • With weight distribution systems like the Curt part # C17062 the reason backing up isn't recommended is because if you jackknife the trailer the spring bars will either pop out of the system with a lot of tension/force or a component of the system will bend/break. So what you can do is back up basically totally straight with the system installed or you can remove the bars before making tight turn maneuvers.

  • Can a Bent Landing Gear Foot Pad Be Used With a SnapPad?
  • The feet on your motorhome's landing gear should not be bent at all, and for a SnapPad like the SnapPad XTRA Jack Pads for Lippert Leveling Systems w/ 9" Round Jack Feet # SP54FR4 you're looking to fit, it's going to need to be replaced. For instance, if you had a Lippert Landing Gear and needed a replacement 9" foot to work with the SnapPads mentioned above, you'd need the Lippert 5th Wheel RV Landing Gear Foot Pad # LC314667.

  • The Everchill RV Refrigerator w/ Freezer part # 324-000119 is reversible so you can remove the door and install the hinge on the opposite side or simply remove the door for cleaning. I don't have an exact write-up for this process but it would be no different than removing the door from the refrigerator in your home. You'll first locate the hinge and use the appropriate tool for said fasteners which attach the hinge to the body. The fastener heads are likely covered with plugs you'd have...

  • Picking Out Replacement Axle for Trailer
  • If only the axle is bent then you can go with just a new axle and reuse all of the other components like the hubs, bearings, brake assemblies, etc. To pick out the correct replacement axle you will need to get the hub face to hub face dimension of your axle as well as the spring seat center to spring seat center and the axle weight capacity. I don't have a way to look that up so you'd have to get me that info and I can see if it's an axle we carry or one that you'd have to order locally....

  • Determining Which Replacement Axle Fits 2019 Forest River Rockwood Geo Pro 15TB Travel Trailer
  • I may have an option for you, but we do not have a breakdown of which axle your 2019 Forest River Rockwood Geo Pro 15TB Travel trailer uses so you will need to measure the axle, and determine its rating. Starting with measuring the axle you will need to measure from hub face to hub face, and from spring center to spring center. This will tell us the length of the axle needed, and how wide the frame of your trailer is. For the axle rating the easiest way to get this is looking for the...

  • 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...

  • Installation of MaxxAir MaxxFan Trailer Roof Vent
  • While we would not have any way to know for sure it is unlikely there is going to be wiring run. In order to install the MaxxAir MaxxFan Trailer Roof Vent # MA00-06200K you would need to use Primary Wire - 16 Gauge # DW02359-1 to run wire to a 12V power source.

  • Are Longer Lug Studs Required for Aluminum Wheels on 2008 Flagstaff MAC 228D
  • The Aluminum Hi-Spec Series S5 Trailer Wheel - 13" x 5" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Silver # AM22323HWT will work well on your 2008 Flagstaff MAC 228D. You will not need to remove the current lug studs and trade them out. The current ones will work just fine. There are steel inserts in the aluminum wheels so they will keep the lug nuts from coming loose over time. I recommend using the Lionshead Trailer Wheel Lug Nut - 1/2"-20 - Stainless Steel # LHLR103. You may also want the locking set #...
