  • 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.

  • How To Wire An Advent Air AC System To A Two-Wire Furnace

You'll want to connect the brown and white furnace wire from the controller # ACRG15 to the other wire send power back to the furnace. To determine which wire is which...

  • BMW X5 Curt Echo Brake Controller and ETB7L 7-Way Vehicle Connector
  • I would be happy to help you set up your BMW X5 for towing with a brake controller but what you have suggested will not work. You would be combining the brake and turn signals on one circuit. Basically, every time you turned on your blinker you would send power back to the brakes. I recommend adding the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit for Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 12 Gauge Wires item # ETBC7L to your vehicle. The item # ETB7L plugs into your existing 4-way trailer connector and also...

  • I went ahead and checked the instruction manual for the MORryde RV Cargo Sliding Tray - 90" x 26" - 2 Way Slide # MR87FR and yes you are going to have to crawl into your cargo compartment to fully secure the tray to your toy hauler. The good news is you don't have to move the entire tray assembly in and out of your trailer a bunch of times, just the mounting rails so it's much easier to manage.
