Expert Answers about Coachmen


  • Recommended Lug Nuts to Use with Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Wheel AM20794
  • The Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Wheel # AM20794 is compatible with both 1/2"-20 and 9/16"-18 studs, so the right lug nuts partly depends on the stud size for your existing hubs. For 1/2", the Redline # 12CLN will work really well and if you have 9/16" studs I recommend the Redline # 6-53. I have also attached links below that will take you to our full selection of 1/2" and 9/16" lug nuts that you can look through.

  • Recommended Bike Rack For Carrying Two Electric Bikes With Camper Trailer
  • The bike rack with the highest weight capacity and rated for a Camper like your 2019 Coachmen Clipper Classic Camper is the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # S94FR which can accommodate two bikes weighing up to 70lbs each. Your best bet is to remove the batteries and any accessories and see if you can get the bikes down to 70lbs each. I included a video of the Swagman # S94FR for you to take a look at.

  • Damper Recommendation for Ventline S0721 Series RV Range Hood on 2017 Coachmen Apex Nano
  • Since your wall thickness is 1-3/8 inches the damper you'll want is the deeper part # V2111-13 which is 1-3/4 inches. This will allow you to trim it back as needed so that it fits properly with the Ventline S0721 Series RV Range Hood # S0721-20BD-F-1.

  • Why Would Power Drill Not Want to Work To Raise/Lower Scissor Jacks on Trailer
  • If the scissor jacks are easily raised/lowered with the manual crank but the drill adapter doesn't seem to be strong enough I'd say the first thing to try is charging the drill if it's a battery operated drill. If that does not allow it to crank you'd next want to try a more powerful drill.

  • Air Conditioner Recommendation for 2015 Viking 1706LS Pop Up
  • We don't have AC units listed for all pop up campers but since they are all pretty universal in what they fit so you could use the Advent Air kit part # ACM135CH which comes with an air distribution box, a heat strip and a start capacitor. This is a slightly smaller unit that would work really well in your pop up.

  • 2016 Coachmen Clipper BH17 Replacement Leaf Spring Suspension Enhancement
  • It looks like the springs that you have are the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles # SP-210275. These springs do not have a lot of curve built into them at 2-3/4" when relaxed from eylet to top of spring pack. There are some 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,000-lb Trailer Axles # e48SR that would give you a higher curve at 4-1/4" from eyelet to top of spring pack. Please note that the axle on your camper is rated for 3500lbs so the higher capacity springs will not increase...

  • Which Tow Dolly Will be The Best Option for a 2016 Chrysler Town & Country?
  • With a 2016 Chrysler Town & Country having a curb weight of 4,652 pounds, I suggest going with the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes - Foldable - 4,800 lbs # DM9713045. This will handle your weight capacity, but you will need to make sure your wheels are between 42 inches and 76 inches apart. One of the big pluses is the disc brakes that are included with the # DM9713045. Disc brakes provide more consistent stopping power and shorter stopping distance than drum brakes, making...

  • Can Hitch Extender And Dual Hitch Adapter Be Used To Flat Tow 2021 Jeep Wrangler Sport?
  • I have another option for you, but you cannot safely use the Roadmaster Anti-Rattle Hitch Extender # RM-071-1075 and Dual Hitch Adapter # RM-077-10 you mentioned together as they will cause a not very secure connection and will render your trailer hitch receiver unable to flat tow your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Sport. To be able to flat tow your Jeep while carrying your Rockymounts bike rack you will need to use only the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, 10" Drop/Rise # RM-077-10. This...

  • 5,200 lb Trailer Brake Assembly Recommendations
  • Going with a brake setup that's rated for higher than what the axle capacity is designed for isn't ideal as it basically just makes it harder to adjust the brakes properly. They brakes themselves won't necessarily be any stronger but when you are fine tuning the adjustment of them it will feel like you either have too much braking or not enough instead of easily being able to find the correct tightness. That said, we have the 5,200 brake assemblies part # AKEBRK-7L-SA for the left side...

  • Brake Controller for 2019 Coachmen Leprechaun on Chevy Express Chassis With Factory 7-Way
  • I highly recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 for your 2019 Coachmen Leprechaun motorhome on a Chevy Express chassis. Since you have the factory 7-way, the wiring to connect a brake controller on your motorhome will have been run already, and the blue brake wire is going to be under the dash near the emergency brake pedal. This wiring can be difficult to find sometimes so you may need to do some digging but it will be there, possibly tucked well up under the...

  • Will Roadmaster Comfort Ride Improve Ride Quality of 2019 Coachmen Chaparral TSIK
  • We have a Roadmaster Comfort Ride system that was designed for 7k axles like you have now with the part # RM-2460-2570. The shocks of this kit dampen the movement of the suspension which would stop the shaking you described. This would also greatly improve the ride quality of your trailer so it would overall be a nice improvement for your 2019 Coachmen Chaparral TSIK.

  • Determining If SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs Fit 2021 Coachmen 192RBS with Tandem Axles
  • As long as the leaf springs on your 2021 Coachmen 192RBS are underneath the axle and not on top, then the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs # TSS-106-40 you were looking at will fit perfectly. The springs themselves measure right at 4" so you will have a little bit of a gap but that is alright, they will still work as designed to absorb road shock while also taking some of the load off your suspension prolonging its useable life. You will install the # TSS-106-40 with the spring on the...

  • Suspension Equalizer Upgrade For a 2015 Coachmen Freedom Express Travel Trailer Wide Spread Axle
  • I recommend the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers # LC314336 for your 2015 Coachmen Freedom Express 248RBS. This equalizer is 14-5/8" from bolt hole center to bolt hole center and will fit in place off your current equalizer. You are correct that that the Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit # LC696740 will not work since it is designed for trailers with a 6" equalizer. The Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers # MR46ZR will provide you will all new wet bolts, bronze bushings...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Cover For Curt Q16 5th Wheel Assembly
  • We do have a cover for your 5th wheel assembly. The Classic Accessories Cover for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - 24" x 24" x 18" - Black, part # CA80116, is made from heavy duty vinyl ,so it is easy to wipe down. It resists UV rays, which will help with the fading of this product. The no-scratch backing will not damage your hitch. I have included a product description links and a video demo link below.

  • 3,500 lb Timbren Axle Less Trailer Axle Recommendation for 2015 Coachmen Clipper
  • For standard styles of 3,500 lb axles we don't have any that match your spring seat to spring seat dimension but we do have an alternative style of axle that will work. For that we have the Timbren Axle Less kit part # A35RS545E which has the capacity you need and comes with hub/drums and brake assemblies. This kit attaches to the frame rails of your trailer directly and would be a great choice. It's a bit more expensive, so if you were intent on going with a standard style of axle you'd...

  • Recommended Storage Cover for 2007 Coachman Clipper Sport 106
  • You don't need to add the air conditioner height to your cover as the manufacturer accounts for the additional height of the AC shroud in their dimensions. I recommend the Adco Polypropylene RV Cover for Pop-Up Camper - Up to 12' Long # 290-22892. This has reinforced corners and a cinching system to remove slack. This cover will be breathable and protect against UV rays, dust, and weather. If you will be storing your camper in a more wet climate (rain/sleet/snow) then I recommend the...

  • Can Aluminum Viking Series Valhalla Trailer Wheel Be Used on Chalet Camping Trailer
  • Yes, since you have 13 inch wheels on your 2002 Chalet camping trailer currently the Aluminum Viking Series Valhalla Trailer Wheel part # AX02350545BMFL would fit and work great. Then for a tire the Castle Rock ST185/80R13 # LHCK105 would be a really great option that's a radial, has a higher speed rating, and comes with complimentary roadside assistance.

  • Recommended 3-Bike Hanging Style Motorhome Bike Rack
  • We can help you with a RV-rated 3-bike hanging style hitch bike carrier for your motorhome. All such carriers appear on the linked page. The Swagman Original 3 carrier # S64152-2 is a basic but sturdy 3-bike rack that fits a 2-inch motorhome hitch. I have owned this rack for several years; it is not a fancy "boutique" carrier but it is very solid and mine has held up extremely well. Unlike some racks this one can be used on motorhomes, towable travel trailers and large 5th wheels too (not...

  • Slide Out Awnings For Coachmen Chaparral 392MBL
  • It's a very wise idea to invest in toppers that will protect your slide-out and all of its hardware while the slide is extended. A good rule of thumb with every topper is to have a few inches on either side covered as well as the slide-out itself, as long as there isn't some sort of clearance issue with another constructed part of the camper's exterior. This is to ensure all of the seals and track hardware is fully protected, without any gaps around the top corners. For your larger two...
