Your LT 225/75r16 tires are just over 29 inches diameter. For your tire covers I recommend the Classic Accessories RV Wheel Covers - 27" to 30" - Gray # CA80084 or Snow White # 052963762501. These will protect your tires and wheels from UV rays to extend the life of your tires. They are a vinyl fabric that are easy to maintain and come with a 3 year warranty. view full answer...
We have an easy 4-way solution for your 2009 Chevy Express Van that does not have the factory trailer wiring package but the vehicle is not pre-wired for a trailer wiring connector. So instead what you'd want is the very easy to install Tekonsha 4-way kit part # 118392 which installs inline with the taillight connectors of the van.
I attached an install video for this kit on a similar 2009 Chevy Express van as yours for you to check out as well. view full answer...
Yes, the circuits you found for installing the P3 part # 90195 that you referenced in your 2016 Chevy Express Van are correct. The CHMSL circuit stands for center high mount signal lamp and is a dedicated brake light circuit and runs to the red wire and then the blue wire of the controller goes to trailer auxiliary circuit. view full answer...
First I recommend installing our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98861 on your 2024 Chevrolet Express cargo van. This will bolt on using existing holes already in your frame with the receiver sitting below the rear bumper. The Pro Series Adjustable 3-Ball Mount # 63070 will allow you to connect to several different trailers and also has a treaded platform which will make stepping into the back of your van safer.
For the electrical you will first need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness... view full answer...
Since your 2020 Chevrolet Express Van 2500 has the factory 7-way connector that means that the blue brake output wire is already run and is located near the emergency brake pedal under the dash.
You will need the # 5506 to provide the ground and 12v power to the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 you were looking at, and also a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to find the cold side of the stop light switch wire that only has power when the brakes are applied.
The # 5506 will install with the black... view full answer...
When vehicle's only list the total trailer weight capacity and not the tongue weight capacity it is implied that the tongue weight capacity would be 10 percent of the total trailer weight. So if you have a 10k capacity you'd be limited to a 1k tongue weight. Even if you installed a hitch like the Curt part # C15320 which has a tongue weight capacity of up to 2,400 lbs you wouldn't be safe exceeding the capacity of the vehicle. view full answer...
For your 2008 Chevy Express 3500 the Tekonsha harness part # 118392 that you referenced is your best option. This installs easily and gives you a reliable 4-way harness. view full answer...
I do have an option for you but I don't have any way of mixing and matching trailer parts to work on your trailer with custom axles, wheels, and brakes from a 1969 Chevy Nova. If you would like to find a way to modify the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # 23-468-469 to fit your trailer like you did for the axles, wheels, and brakes you have now then you are more than welcome to do so but I won't have any advice for this.
The best and only option I have for you is to... view full answer...
The issue you are experiencing is that motorhomes have a high center of gravity and are very boxy in design, therefore when a large gust of wind hits the body of the motorhome such as those which are caused by large passing vehicles on the highway you experience body roll which is something also refereed to as sway. This body roll essentially just feels like the motorhome is rocking side to side which then causes other problems such as steering etc. The best products to correct the issue... view full answer...
I went out into our warehouse and measured one of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 13040, we have in stock and found that the set of bolt holes closest to the receiver opening measured 39-3/4 inches apart, and the set of bolts that are furthest from the receiver opening measure 40 inches apart.
Check out the picture to the right if you want to get a clearer picture of these measurements.

Since your 2003 Chevy Express Van has Hopkins 4-way wiring that would indicate that your van does NOT have the factory tow package so to install the Curt Triflex part # C24VV with the # C51515 you'd need the 4-way to 7-way brake controller install kit part # ETBC7.
You would not need the HM40975 nor would you need to run a blue wire to the front of the vehicle. view full answer...
Since your 2018 Chevy Express Van has a round connector present under the rear of it for a 7-way like the part # A10-7072VP to plug into you do have the tow package.
Vehicles like yours with the 7-Way tow package have the blue output brake wire already ran from the back to the front. It is located under the dash near the emergency brake pedal. Some models will have the connection wiring taped and tucked under the driver side floor mat up towards the firewall.

Most RV travel trailers have brakes so you'd need to install a 7-way on your 2015 Chevy Express Van to allow the brakes to be activated. If your travel trailer only has a 4-way connector though you'd be fine just to install a 4-way with the # 118496. Now if your trailer has brakes and you need an easy 7-way and brake controller solution the best setup is the Curt Echo Mobile brake controller # C51180 with the 7-way upgrade kit part # ETBC7L which comes with everything needed to convert... view full answer...
When hardwiring in a brake controller like the Tekonsha Primus IQ part # TK90160 the black wire runs to the positive post of the battery in the vehicle. I attached a diagram that shows all of the connections needed to be made to install a controller as well. For this you'd want to use 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by the foot) ran through a breaker like part # 9510 and you'd be set. view full answer...
The best way to ensure the graphics on your new trailer stay crisp and sharp is to make sure you always have a good coat of wax on the trailer. This coat of wax is going to act as a protectant which will shield the graphics/decals whether they be paint or vinyl from the sun's damaging UV rays which is what cases them to fade over time.
The best wax we offer for the above purpose is going to be the Griot's Garage Liquid Gloss Poly Wax part # 34910969. I recommend you apply a good coat... view full answer...
It doesn't sound like you have the factory tow package on your 2007 Chevy Express 2500, so you will want to start with a 4-way wiring harness like # 118392 if you don't already have it and then you will use the # ETBC7 wiring kit to upgrade to the 7-way connector for your trailer with electric brakes.
Then you can install whatever brake controller you desire. I've attached a video to assist that shows the connection to the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller # TK90160 but the... view full answer...
Yes, you can flat tow your 2017 Jeep Wrangler behind your RV. There are several items needed to flat tow a vehicle: base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking.
