  • I recommend the Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack for Camper Shells # Y01-130B for your 2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty Crew Cab. This adjustable camper rack system allows you to carry gear on camper shells, hard tonneau, or hardtop resin roofs without headliners. The rack has a weight capacity of 220 pounds and has a limited life time warranty. The bars have a stainless steel construction that has an anti-corrosion coating. If you ever want to haul kayaks with your truck you can install the...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch For A Jayco TrailI have a Jayco 17z dry weight around 3300 ,
  • No matter what all weight distribution hitches will make noise when in use. Some will make less noise than others but it will always be there. With you Jayco trailer weighing 3,300 pounds dry the tongue weight will be about 10% of the weight when loaded. I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA92-00-0600. I like this weight distribution hitch over the others that we offer because they have integrated 2 point sway control that will limit side to side movement,...

  • Parts Needed to Tow Camp-Inn Tear Trailer With 2023 Subaru Outback Limited XT
  • For a hitch that fits your 2023 Subaru Outback Limited XT I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e25TR. I know you asked for a Class IV hitch, but that is not necessary. This Class III hitch has a max towing capacity of 3,500 lbs, which is the most the Limited XT trim can tow. It is also more than enough to handle the Camp-Inn trailer that maxes out at 1,430 lbs for the largest model. For the wiring, you will need to start by adding a 4-way with the # C56040. This plugs into...

  • Lift Kit for Lippert Diamond Torsion Axle on R Pod 178 Travel Trailer
  • Due to the orientation of your axle, I believe you have a Lippert Diamond Torsion Axle. If your axle label confirms this, you'll want to use the Lippert axle riser kit, part # LC270682 which provides a 3-1/2 inch lift and is our only diamond axle compatible lift kit. The # K71-707-01 kit you referred to is only compatible with a # 10 Dexter Torflex torsion axle, and wouldn't work with a Lippert diamond axle. Unfortunately, I don't have a reference that would tell me what axle your R pod...

  • Solution to Extend Weight Distribution Hitch Away From Truck to Allow Tail Gate to Open
  • The Blue Ox # BXW4000 will give you roughly 10 inches of clearance from the center of the hitch pin to the mounts on the shank, so you'll want to measure how much more clearance you need to actually clear the tailgate; in some cases it might be enough. Your best bet is going to be to measure to find out exactly how much more you need compared to the original shank and then we can determine if there is a solution available. I don't believe that using an extension like this will create...

  • Roadmaster Anti-Sway Bars for Class C Motorhome on Ford E450 Cutaway Chassis
  • By 'chassis stabilizers' I'm assuming you're speaking of anti-sway bars. This is a good question, the answer will depend on the exact handling difficulty you're dealing with. If the Class C tends to follow ruts in the road or the pavement edge, and you're having to constantly fight the steering wheel, then the front sway bar would be the place to start. I the Forest River Sunseeker 2290S was built on the E-450 van cutaway chassis, and not the F-450 truck cab/chassis, so the parts I recommend...

  • Parts Needed to Install Redarc RED24FR Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller on 2009 Dodge Ram
  • I'd be happy to help you with that. Because your truck is already equipped with the factory 7-way, all you'll need is the # RED24FR Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty, the # RED69FR pigtail and a # 3020-S Dodge-specific harness. The harness would wire to the pigtail, color for color which would plug into the factory connector located atop or next to the white box on the firewall behind the e-brake pedal as shown in the linked video and the provided photo. The control knob for the controller can...

  • Recommended Parts for Towing Camper Equipped With a 7-Way Connector With 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • I'd be happy to shed some light on that for you. Let's begin with a hitch, assuming you don't yet have one. I'd go with the Curt Class III # 13364 that you'd looked at. For a connector i would go with the Curt T-Connector # C56331 for the 4-way connector. And if your camper is equipped with brakes you will need a universal 7-way adapter # ETBC7. The Redarc Liberty # RED52VR is a great option. This particular kit comes with a universal wire harness. You'll also need a ball mount like...

  • Equipping a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee for Trailer and Flat Towing
  • Let's begin with a hitch and trailer wiring for towing your RV with the Jeep Grand Cherokee. For a hitch, I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch, part # C13182. You'll also need a ball mount and a trailer ball, provided in the # 989900 etrailer ball mount kit. For a brake controller, I'd go with the Curt # C51180 Echo Wireless Brake controller. The Echo will communicate wirelessly with your smart phone, which you'll use to control the braking action of the trailer. For a vehicle equipped...

  • Recommended Shackle Links for Use With Lippert LC696740 Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer
  • For the Lippert # LC696740 Road Armor Shock Absorbing Suspension kit, Lippert recommends using the # LC52SV Wet Bolt/Shackle Link kit, which includes 3-1/8 inch shackle links. The slight height and width difference between your Dexter 13-122 and the Road Armor equalizer won't make any difference according to Lippert.

  • Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Hitch for 9000 lb GVWR Travel Trailer
  • The Equal-i-zer # EQ37120ET weight distribution system weighs in at right around 100 lbs minus its shipping packaging which is pretty typical for a weight distribution/sway control system. When determining which system is needed, you do not need to include the weight of the system itself as that's built in to the capacity of the system. This particular kit is rated for trailers with tongue weights ranging from 800-1200 lbs. To determine which system is right for your needs, you'll need...

  • Do I Need a Powered Modulite for a 2007 Jeep Liberty and What Part Would I Use
  • For your 2007 Jeep Liberty, there are a couple of trailer wiring options. If the Liberty did not come with a tow package, you will need T-One Connector w/Upgraded Circuit Protected ModuLite, # 118524. A powered converter is required to protect the vehicle sensitive electronics on models not equipped with a tow package.

  • What Parts Are Needed or Recommended for Putting a Fifth Wheel Hitch on a 2008 Nissan Titan 8FT Bed
  • For your 2008 Nissan Titan, I would suggest the Reese Semi-Custom Install kit, part # RP30035-405. This kit has all the hardware you will need to get the truck set up for a traditional bed rail fifth wheel hitch. I have added links to the instructions as well. Reese 16K Fifth Wheel, part # RP30051 is a fifth wheel equipped with a slider, which you will not need since you have a full 8 foot bed. Instead I would recommend Reese part # RP30047. It is the same as 30051 but without the sliders....
