  • Best Camera System for a Pre-Wired 2019 Jayco Eagle 5th Wheel That Use Factory Truck Monitor
  • The Jayco Eagle 5th Wheel Trailers are pre-wired for the Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera Systems; part # FOS43TASF for 4.3" screen or part # FOS05TASF for a 5" screen. The Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera Systems all use their own monitors. I know this is not what you are hoping to hear but there isn't a backup/observation camera system for trailers that uses a factory monitor. Therefore, your best option would be to just use the Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup...

  • Brake Controller Options for a 2019 Ford Ranger
  • In order to install a standard brake controller on a 2019 Ford Ranger such as the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller part # RED44FR which is a great option, you must cut and splice as there is not a port to plug into. That said, I do have an option that won't require any splicing into the vehicle and that is the Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller part # 3430001 which installs completely on the trailer. Therefore, not only will you not have to cut or splice into the vehicle's...

  • Will the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter Work On a Short Bed Truck
  • The Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter Pin Box part # 325-GH-8045 is an excellent replacement pin box option that works to help smooth the ride and decrease wear/tear on both the trailer and tow vehicle. In regards to compatibility with a short bed truck, yes this is possible. That said, the amount of turning clearance you have once installed can be limited but how much will come down to the exact truck/trailer combo. In order to determine how much clearance you...

Also offered are some accessories for the carrier that you might want to consider.

  • Yes, if you wanted to tow a 2002 Ford Escape with a Tow Ready Adjustable Tow Bar, 5,000 lbs, part # 63180, you would need a base plate like the Roadmaster Base Plates for the 2002 Escape by Ford, part # 481-3. In order you to attach the # 63180 to the # 481-3 you would need to purchase a Roadmaster Base Plate to Tow Ready Tow Bar Adapter, part # RM-025.

This is one of the easiest bike racks to put on and take off of a vehicle. It uses a FitDial system with Quick-Fit levers. This rack is also very light weight at 13 pounds.

  • How To Raise a Triple Axle Car Trailer with 7,000 Lb Axles
  • In order to raise your triple axle car trailer the amount you are looking for, you are going to need to install an axle flip kit along with a set of leaf spring hanger extensions. For an axle flip kit, I recommend the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit part # K71-385-00 (3) and for a set of leaf spring hanger extensions, I recommend the Axle Lift Kit part # RR55QX. The axle flip kit will raise the trailer equal to the diameter of the axle and height of the leaf spring stack....

  • Will Rock Tamers Adjustable Mud Flaps Interfere with Sensors on 2018 Ford F-150
  • The Rock Tamers Heavy-Duty Adjustable Mud Flap System # ERT00108 is a great universal option but there is a good chance that they would trigger those proximity sensors on your 2018 Ford F-150 when attached. The mud flaps will slide onto your ball mount and the raised crossbar will extend the length of the rear bumper which is exactly where those sensors are located. To avoid this interference your best option will be with a permanent mount kit that's custom fit for your truck. For this...

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for 2017 Winnebago Micro Minnie 1700BH
  • The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use. The best weight distribution for...

  • Sway Bar Recommendation for 2018 Winnebago 26 Intent to Improve Ride Quality
  • Your 2018 Winnebago 26 Intent is built on a Ford F-53 chassis that is somewhat notorious for being hard to handle on the highway. The biggest improvement you'll make is with a new rear sway bar. Which for that you'd want the Roadmaster bar part # RM-1139-146 which is a confirmed fit. Next biggest improvement is with a front sway bar which the part # RM-1139-148 you referenced is the correct fit. With these two bars and your current stabilizer you'll have a much better ride quality.

  • How To Increase Ground Clearance for Front Jacks on a 5th Wheel Trailer
  • In order to achieve more ground clearance for the landing gear legs on your 5th wheel trailer, the only real option you have is to raise the trailer. The reason for this is that the more you raise the nose, the more unlevel your trailer will be which will then cause sway issues. Therefore, you will need to raise the trailer that way you can obtain more clearance for your landing gear legs while also still staying level. In order to raise your trailer I have a few options for you but the...

  • Curt Class V Hitch for 1997 Ford F-150
  • The correct hitch for your 1997 Ford F-150 2WD will depend on the bed type, either stepside or regular, and in terms of towing capacity you can select a hitch class that matches the truck's own capabilities or just go for a heavy-duty Class V. All hitches for the truck appear on the linked page but I suggest you use the Class V Curt hitch # C15303 so long as you have a 20-inch or smaller spare tire. This USA-made hitch fits both flareside/stepside beds and regular bed models. It offers...

Reese is actually who makes the Ford rail kits so this would give you the exact same thing at a better price.

  • Will the High-Rise Pop-In Ball RP19315 Fit the Ford OEM Puck System
  • Yes, the High-Rise Pop-In Ball for Reese Elite Series Underbed Gooseneck Hitch part # RP19315 will work with the OEM puck system on your 2019 Ford F-450. The Ford OEM puck system and the Reese Elite Series are the exact same. The B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit part # BWGNXA2061 is taller than the High-Rise Pop-In Ball for Reese Elite Series Underbed Gooseneck Hitch part # RP19315 by about 3/4". If you need to go lower then just let me know.

The most similar option is the JackRabbit part # 311-JRF1507 which is a fit for your truck. When this opens it retracts into the canister that's at the front of the truck bed.

  • Parts Needed to Add 7-Way Connector for Mobility Scooter Carrier on 2001 Ford Expedition
  • We do have everything needed to add a 7-Way connector to your 2001 Ford Expedition, however the Curt T-Connector # C55242 that you referenced will not work. This harness is designed to plug into the factory ports on certain model Ford trucks and will not fit your Expedition. If you don't currently have any trailer connector on your vehicle then you will need to start with a 4-Way. For this the Tekonsha T-One # 118344 will work perfectly. It is a custom harness that will plug right into...

  • Weight Distribution Hitch For 5,600lb Camper With Tongue Weight Of 735lbs
  • When towing a trailer that has a gross weight that is over 50 percent of the vehicle's gross weight, a weight distribution system is recommended. In order to use one weight distribution hitch for both of your trailers (camper and boat), I would go with the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA94-00-1033. This has a tongue weight range of 600-1,000lbs and max towing capacity of 10,000lbs, which makes it the perfect weight distribution system to handle both of your...
