  • Parts Needed To Flat-Tow a 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk
  • In order to flat-tow a 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk you'll need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, wiring harness, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a few other things. I will list my recommendations for each of these below. etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit part # e98951 etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar part # e34ZR Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles part # RM-152-98146-7 Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System part # BLU37TR The Mopar Flat-Tow...

  • Upgrading from 13,500 to 15,000 Btu RV AC on a 2020 Keystone 30RLS Half Ton
  • It really just depends on your setup, I recommend simply replacing the unit with one of the same size. This is because the manufacturer usually selects the best size based on the dimensions of the RV. That said, if you found the factory selected size to be lacking you can upgrade. However, you'll need to keep in mind the unit draws more power so you may need to check the existing wiring and circuits to be sure they are up for the task, the Advent Air Replacement RV Air Conditioner for Dometic...

  • Recommendations for Sidewinder Model
  • That depends on what pin box you currently have.

  • Recommended Spare Tire Holder & Cover For a 2022 Keystone Cougar Half-Ton 29RLI 5th Wheel RV Camper
  • I recommend using the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 on your 2022 Keystone Cougar Half-Ton 29RLI 5th wheel. The CE Smith Offset Spare Trailer Tire Carrier # CE27310G you found is designed to mount to A-Frame style trailers and will only allow for up to a 5 on 4-3/4" bolt pattern. Your Cougar uses a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern and there is not an exposed frame like on travel trailers. I see that your Cougar comes with a 2" receiver from the factory which will allow you to use the...

  • Recommended Blue Ox Weight Distribution System for 5000 lb Travel Trailer
  • The 570 lb figure you mention is the dry tongue weight, but in order to choose the correct weight distribution system for your needs you'll need to determine the travel trailer's tongue weight when it's loaded up as it would be when you tow it, complete with gear, propane, water tanks, etc. You'll also want to add the weight of anything carried in the bed of the truck behind the rear axle to that figure, which is the amount of tongue weight you'll be asking your W/D system to handle. I'll...

  • Are There Extended RV Toilet Floor Flanges
  • I do have options for you but we don't offer any extended toilet floor flanges unfortunately. Therefore, you'd need to extend the connection to the flange from the tank. I'd simply remove the threaded sections and install 3" diameter ABS pipe from the tank up through the pipe so you can then use the LaSalle Bristol Toilet Floor Flange for RV part # 344633633.

  • Which Color Fan-Tastic Roof Vent Allows Least Amount of Light In
  • The smoke lens actually let more light in as they are more translucent than the white lids. So for use with the # FV807350 I'd recommend the part # FVU1500WH since you are wanting less sunlight and heat.

  • Recommended Replacement and Upgrade For AL-KO 10x1-3/4 Electric Brakes
  • For your Keystone Summerland with AL-KO axles, the brakes and hub/drum assemblies will need to be upgraded as the magnets are no longer available for your application. You do not need to replace the axles, just the brake assemblies and hubs. I recommend the Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-35-SA which uses the 10" x 2-1/4" self-adjusting brakes, and the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K which is compatible with these brake assemblies and your axles. .

  • Using Rack Em Wheel Lock on Trailer that is Parked on Incline
  • I recommend using the Rack'em Lock'em Magnum Wheel Lock # RA-25 with a wheel chock since you said you will be parking on an incline. Check out the Buyers Products # 337WC1467A. The lock will act as a theft deterrent and the chock will prevent the trailer from rolling away. The # RA-25 wasn't designed to stop the movement of a heavy trailer on a hill.

  • Replacement Axle for AL-KO T35 3,500 Pound Axle with 85 Inch Hub Length
  • I do have a great option for you, however we do not have any standard 3,500 pound round tube axles available that match the dimensions you provided. For an exact replacement your best option will be to go through a local trailer shop or the manufacturer. Otherwise I recommend taking a look at a Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System. This system features independent suspension setups that provide a uniquely smooth ride and will install on any frame width. Typically they will eliminate...

  • How to Pick Out Landing Gear for 2005 Keystone Everest 293P
  • In order to pick out a direct replacement for the landing gear on your trailer we would need to know the distance between the mounting brackets. Otherwise you could just have the brackets removed from your trailer by a qualified welder and then install the brackets that come with the Reese Bulldog Tandem Landing Gear Set # RP500708 that you referenced. This would be a great option for your 2005 Keystone Everest 293P. Either way this landing gear set would work well for you, you just might...

  • Sumo Springs Versus Shocks for Toy Hauler
  • Because they are maintenance free, less expensive and easier to install than shocks, I'd definitely recommend going with the SumoSpring option. They'll work with your existing leaf spring suspension to help dampen the suspension, but will also reduce sway and body roll during turns. For a tandem axle application, you'll need two sets of the # TSS-107-40 which are compatible with 3000-5000 lb capacity axles. As a bonus, the SumoSprings are also especially effective against porpoising, the...

  • Grease Seal Recommendation for Dexter 4,400 lb Trailer Hub
  • If the number you found on the grease seal you pulled out of the hub was 473336 then that means the correct replacement seal is the part # RG06-050. This is commonly seen on the 3,500 lb axles but what also factors into this is that the 3,500 lb axle is one of the most popular axle capacities and 4,400 is not. Normally the next size up that you see from 3,500 is 5,200 which is why your hub components aren't listed in an easy of a way to find.

  • Stackable Leveling Blocks For 2017 Keystone Passport
  • Yes, you can use leveling blocks to support your stabilizer jacks, I recommend the Ultra-Fab Leveling Blocks for Trailers and RVs - 8-1/4" Wide x 8-1/4" Long - Qty 10 # UF48-979051. Not knowing the weight rating of the A frame jack I can not say yes or no. You will have to find out the weight capacity and tolerance of the specific jack.

  • Has Correct Track Been Updated and Wet Bolt Kit to Use with It
  • The Correct Track used to be made by Lippert but they stopped carrying it and after some time RV Ride Control released the third generation version of it with the part # RR23QX. Like other trailer suspension components like hangers and shackles there isn't a weight capacity listed. We actually have a kit with upgraded shackles and wet bolts that was specifically designed to work with the Correct Track with the part # MR98ZR.

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for 2018 Keystone Springdale 2820BH
  • If the 690 lb tongue weight is the weight when the trailer is loaded then your current Centerline would work great. If that's an unloaded figure though you'd most likely be over capacity and it wouldn't be effective. The best solution would be the Reese Strait Line part # RP66084 which has a tongue weight range of 600-1,200 lbs and features best sway control at fighting sway before it starts.

  • Which Size Brakes Assemblies Does A 2011 Keystone Copper Canyon 273FWRET Use?
  • Since your 2011 Keystone Copper Canyon 273FWRET Fifth Wheel has a GVWR of 10240lbs it should have at least two 5200lb axle which do use 12" brakes. I recommend removing one of the hub and drum assemblies and measuring your brake assemblies and the inside dimensions of your drums as shown in the included diagram to confirm that you do currently have 10" brakes. If you would like to replace your current hub and drum assemblies and braking assemblies to the 12" version I will need to know...

  • Aluminum Wheels/Tire Combo to Replace 205/75-15 Tires on Travel Trailer
  • I don't offer a load range E tire in the 205/75-15 size, but we do in the 225/75-15. A 225/75-15 tire would be one inch wider which would move the inner sidewall of the tire 1/2 inch closer to the trailer. The tire is 1 inch larger in diameter which would raise your travel trailer's ride height by 1/2 inch. If you need a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern wheel, you'll need to purchase the wheel and tires separate as we don't offer a tire in that size mounted to a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern aluminum...

  • Choosing Between the Triple and Quad Lippert SolidSteps for a 2019 Keystone Cougar 5th Wheel
  • The SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps part # LC791572 for triple and part # LC791574 for quad will both fit and work on level ground. That said, if you find yourself parking on uneven terrain then you'd need more of a buffer which the triple step would provide so that is what I recommend. In regards to the space between the ground and first step, this would vary each time depending on the incline or slope you are parked on so it's not a figure I can provide but it's really a matter of choosing...
