  • Sway Bar Recommendation for RV Built on 2016 Ford F-53 Chassis
  • To improve the ride quality of an RV built on a Ford F-53 chassis like what you have the best solution is going with a better rear sway bar. So for that you'd want the part # RM-1139-145 which is a confirmed fit. Next a front sway bar would make the next best improvement with part # RM-1139-148.

  • Tire Chains
  • Unfortunately, we do not offer any chains with rim protection for your size. I spoke with Pewag, and there was nothing they could offer for this. For your 235/80-22.5 tires, I recommend the Titan Chain Cable Snow Tire Chains, part # TC2039. These are cable chains, so there's not as much metal to damage your rims. I've linked to a video review below.

  • Rear Anti-Sway Bar for a 2016 Forest River FR3
  • Blue Ox only has rear anti-sway bars for the E-series van chassis and F-53 chassis used on larger Class A RVs. They do not have an option for models built on the F-550 chassis. But Roadmaster does have options. If the RV has a square tube Dana 120 axle then you can use # RM-1139-161. If it is a different axle then there are no other options.

  • How Far Down Does Carr Hoop Step Hang Below for Step
  • The CARR steps part # CARR108221 and # CARR108224 give a drop of 5 inches which means the step platform where your foot would go drops down 5 inches from where it attaches on the vehicle. Both are finished with a powdercoat. One just happens to be silver and the other black. One would not necessarily last longer than the other but in general the finish is not a problem for most of our customers.

  • Front Mount Hitch for 2019 Ford F-550 Shuttle Bus
  • I do have an option for you, however there isn't a custom front mount hitch available that's designed to fit your 2019 Ford F-550 shuttle bus. Your best option is going to be with a universal model like the Draw-Tite Multi-Fit Trailer Hitch # 5350 that will require some drilling. This particular hitch features adjustable brackets that allow it to fit frame rails that are 24" to 46" wide. The brackets will get bolted to the frame to provide you with a crosstube and 2" receiver. I just...

  • Does the Rampage Backup Camera Get Interference from Bluetooth Devices
  • Because the Rampage Backup Camera # RA7710 operates on Wi-Fi, not Bluetooth, you won't get interference like you would with wireless camera systems that operate on 2.4 gHz. We had a customer write a review for this camera saying that it didn't have any interference.

  • Can The Mounting Tabs Be Cut Off Of the Ladder Rack Bracket Kit For Packem Enclosed Trailer?
  • The Ladder Rack Bracket Kit # PK-28WL is specifically designed to be used with Utility and Enclosed Trailer Tower Kit # PK-BM or Utility Trailer Tower Kit # PK-BMH. The tabs sticking out of the bracket kit are made to attach to the tower kits, so cutting them off could compromise the structural integrity of the brackets and I do not recommend doing so. That being said, it probably would not be very difficult to cut the tabs off with an angle grinder or similar tool. In regard to making...

  • What Front and Rear Suspension Enhancement do You Recommend for My 2021 F-53 Motorhome Chassis?

  • replacement stairs for Eagle Cap 1165 Truck Camper
  • You will need two measurements to determine the best fit for your camper. First is the "Entry Height". This is the measurement from the top of the mounting bracket to the ground. See the example picture on the product page. The TorkLift # TLA8006 that you referenced is suitable for entry heights between 46-1/2" to 60". The second measurement is the "Mounting Bracket Width". With the old steps removed, there will be a black metal mounting bracket that held the old steps. If yours measures...

  • For your 2020 Ford F-550, we do not have a customized fit that is available for your vehicle. However, we do have some universal fits that will work. For that route, I recommend the CIPA Universal Tow Mirror # 7070. These clip-on mirrors will fit on almost any OEM mirror that has a gap between the outer housing and the actual glass surface, as shown in the linked installation video. Note this is sold as a single piece, not a pair. If you want an even wider field of view you might consider...

You would determine your weight distribution system based on the total tongue weight which is the loaded trailer tongue weight plus any cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle.

You will then see a grey connector that needs to be unplugged to expose the factory plug to which the Plug-In Adapter # 22292 will connect to install your Tekonsha Brake Controller. I...
