  • Recommended Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2014 Freightliner Sprinter 3500 DRW 170" Wheelbase
  • I have an option for you, but both the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13388 and the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75549 which are confirmed to fit your 2014 Freightliner Sprinter 170" wheelbase Dual Rear Wheel will stick out slightly past the non-step rear bumper as you can see in the included pictures.

  • Are There Replacement 46" Long Leaf Springs for Military Trailers
  • I do have an option for you but we unfortunately do not offer any leaf springs this long. That said, most of what we see for these older military trailers due to the inability to obtain parts and their off-road capability is switching to the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension Systems like part # ASR35HDS02 which offers a 4" lift and has longer spindles for larger tires. This system replaces the leaf springs, axles, and leaf spring hangers. The independent axle design also offers...

  • Correct Hitch for 2019 Freightliner Sprinter 3500
  • The correct hitch for your 2019 Freightliner Sprinter 3500 depends on the wheelbase and bumper. To keep it simple I have two options for you where the only difference is the bumper style. -Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75549 (144" or 170" wheelbase with standard bumper) -Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75601 (144" or 170" wheelbase with factory step bumper) You will also need to know the outside to outside frame measurement. If it is 30-3/8" then there are...

  • Recommended Steering Stabilizer for a 2015 Thor Palazzo on a Freightliner RV Chassis
  • I suggest installing the Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer # RM-RBK18-RSSA on your 2015 Thor Palazzo. This is a confirmed fit for your Freightliner Chassis and will positively impact steering control during adverse conditions. Staying in control during road edging and crosswinds will now be a breeze. Road fatigue during long trips will be dramatically reduced as well. Be sure to maintain proper air pressure in all tires to maximize steering stability also. This steering stabilizer...

  • 1999 Freightliner FLD120 Brake Controller Recommendation for Trailer with Brakes
  • The Prodigy P3 part # 90195 would work great for your application as it can basically be wired to any vehicle that uses 12 volt power. Or for a controller that is designed specifically for your application we have the Hayes brake controller part # HA100400C which ties into the air system of your tractor and gives you a proportional brake signal for a trailer with electric brakes. The connector you have in your hand is a standard RV style 7-way which is very common on trailers with electric...

  • Which Drop Brackets for Draw Tite Hitch 41990 for Freightliner Step Van
  • I wish I could tell you exactly which would work but it's not something we have tested so we can't really help much. You'd would need to measure and see which would be the appropriate length of brackets with the Draw Tite # 41990. We have the 16 inch part # 4916 and the 7 inches part # 4907.

  • How To Tow Trailer W/ 7-way Blade Connector With 2013 Freightliner 122SD W/ 7-pin Round Connector
  • I would be happy to help you make a wiring adapter to allow you to connect your 2013 Freightliner 122SD with a 7 pin round connector to your 2020 EZ4 triple axle trailer. First you will need a female 7-pin round # PK11720 and female 7-way blade # PK12-707E. Since the 7-pin round has separate brake and turn signals but a 7-way blade has combined you will need the the 3-wire to 2-wire converter # HM48847 like you mentioned. This will get connected to 7-way connector as follows: Red wire...

  • Will Curt Echo Wireless C51180 Work In RV With Functional 7-way Connector?
  • Since your Diesel Pusher RV has a full Functional 7-way connector the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 will work perfectly given that your trailer does not have more than 2 braking axles. The great part about the # C51180 is it is removable and works in any vehicle with a functioning 7-way connector, so you can use it in multiple vehicles if needed. I included a video of the # C51180 for you to take a look at.

  • Anti-Sway Bar and Steering Stabilizer for a 2012 Freightliner M2
  • We have different sway bar options depending on how your 2012 Freightlinter M2 is equipped. The sway bars for this vehicle will fit 2 different Class A motor home models and 3 different EV Type 1 vehicles (emergency vehicles). Starting with Class A models, if it has an 8,000 pound rear axle you would use # RM-1209-116 but it won't fit if the vehicle has the auxiliary cooling package. If the vehicle is an EV Type 1 with airliner air suspension with chains and 5 x 4 u-bolt pattern you would...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2004 Monaco Cayman Diesel Pusher With 7,500 Pound Capacity
  • In order to add a hitch with that kind of capacity to your 2004 Monaco Cayman you are going to need the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver - Weld On - Class V - 2". We have the # 41990-07 with 7" brackets or # 41990-16 with 16" brackets depending on the distance between the frame rails and the bottom of your rear bumper. Since this hitch requires welding I recommend taking it to a local welder for installation. The hitch has a 16,000 lb max gross trailer weight and...

  • 2016 Newmar Ventana Trailer Brake Controller For Existing 7-Way Trailer Connector
  • For your 2016 Newmar Ventana with the Freightliner XC chassis, the Prodigy P3 # 90195 you asked from is an excellent choice with easy to use features and no codes to decipher. Because you have the 7-way if it came from the factory you would simply use the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers # 3027-P.

  • Recommended Steering Stabilizer For 2010 Gulfstream Caribbean 35A on Freightliner XC Chassis
  • The Roadmaster RSSP30 you referenced is not compatible with a Freighliner XC chassis. It is designed for the Workhorse P Series Chassis and Chevy/GMC chassis. I do however have an solution for you that is a confirmed fit. For your 2010 Gulfstream Carribean 35A on Freightliner XC chassis, I recommend the Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer with Mounting Brackets for Class A Motor Homes # RM-RBK18-RSSA. This stabilizer uses a steel spring that is designed to bring you back to neutral...

  • Using an Electric Brake Controller with the Air Brakes of a 2017 Freightliner XC-Series
  • There are options to utilize the air brakes on your 2017 Freightliner XC-Series to control electric brakes like the Hayes Air Actuated Trailer Brake Controller, part # HA100400C. However, we mostly recommend just using an electric brake controller since they tie into the stop light switch of the tow vehicle, making it irrelevant what kind of brakes it has. I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller w/ Bluetooth, part # TK94FR. It has a very simply method of...

  • Recommendation to Add Stability to Front of 2018 Freightliner M2 106 Chassis with 10K Axles
  • I do have a great option for you but we do not have a standard front sway bar available for your Freightliner M2 chassis with the 10,000 pound front axle. What you can use at the front that will still really help with keeping the RV in line and minimizing wander is the Roadmaster TruTrac # RM-TRAC-FM2. This Trac Rod essentially braces the axle to prevent jarring and will control any of that excessive side play during travel. It will install using existing holes in the chassis' frame so...

  • How To Tow a Trailer with Brakes Using a 1999 Coachmen Sportscoach
  • In order to tow a trailer with brakes using your 1999 Coachmen Sportscoach on a Freightliner XC Chassis you will first need to convert the 4-way you have into a 7-way using the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller part # ETBC7 along with the extra wire with part # 10-2-1. These two parts will give you all that you need to correctly install the 7-way along with a brake controller of your choice. For a brake controller I recommend using the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer...

  • Parts Needed to Install a Brake Controller on a 2006 Tiffin Phaeton on a Freightliner Chassis
  • The great thing about electric brake controllers is that they are not vehicle specific and most vehicles can be hardwired with one. For your 2006 Freightliner, you will need a brake controller like the P2, # 90885, and a hardwire installation kit. The P2 is going to give you the most bang for the buck and it is also one of the most reliable and easy to use controllers available but the Hopkins controller can also be used. For an installation kit you would want part # ETBC7. Normally,...

  • Recommended Brake Controller Plug-In Adapter for 2009 Fleetwood Discovery on Freighliner Chassis
  • The Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller # TK90160 referenced in your question will work great on your 2009 Fleetwood Discovery RV. This is a really nice proportional controller that will activate the trailer brakes at the same time and with the same intensity that you apply to them in your RV. If the Freightliner XC Series chassis has the pre-wired, factory tow package with a 7-Way connector, you will just need to add the Plug-In Adapter # 3027-P. This adapter will connect to the...
