  • Can Multiple Devices be Connected to the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller 51180
  • Yes, the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 can be used with multiple devices. However, only one device can have the application running on their phone while in range. In regards to compatibility, it will not work with a iPhone 4 as the IOS 8.0 software which is required for the Curt Echo is not available for this version. The oldest iPhone that can be used with the Curt Echo is a iPhone 4s. In order to check what you have now you will 1) locate and open the settings...

  • Best Trailer Wiring Harness for 2018 Toyota RAV4
  • The wiring harness I recommend for your 2018 Toyota RAV4 is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118578 because it is easy to install on your RAV4; you will only need to plug it into connection points in your rear cargo area and run a hot lead to your battery. Additionally, you can have faith in how dependable this harness is because its manufacturer, Tekonsha, has a very strong reputation for creating quality wiring products. As such, this harness also...

  • Comparing Curt Spectrum and Redarc Tow-Pro Brake Controller for 2018 Toyota Tundra
  • Both the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR and the Curt Spectrum # C51170 Trailer Brake Controller offer a sleek OEM design that gets away from the traditional knee knocker mounted options that take up a lot of space in the cab. Between these two brake controllers though I do recommend going with the Redarc # RED44FR for a couple of reasons. The first reason is an aesthetic one. One of the main benefits of both controllers is the subtle design that tries to blend in with the interior of...

  • Compatibility of Equal-I-zer Weight Distribution and Trailer Valet 5X on a 2019 Airstream Trailer
  • When using an Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control like # EQ37100ET, the Trailer Valet 5X # STC-V211 will not be able to be completely installed at the same time. However if you look at the attached dimensions of the Trailer Valet 5X system you may find that there is enough room behind the trunnion bars and bracket on the Equal-I-zer to keep the mount installed. If there is enough room for the mounting bracket to be installed and not come in contact with the...

  • Can Rhino-Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack From 2012 GMC Sierra be Installed on 2015 GMC Sierra
  • If you currently have the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Bar System that consists of the 54 inch Vortex Bars in Black # RRVA137B-2 or Silver # RRVA137S-2, the 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA, and the # DK227 Fit Kit, then the only additional item you need to transfer this to your new 2015 Sierra is a new Fit Kit. Your existing # DK227 Fit Kit will not work on the 2015 Sierra and you will instead just need the DK Fit Kit # DK377. You can still use your current crossbars and legs.

  • Do the Hubs/Drums Need Changed When Replacing the Braking Assemblies
  • To summarize, you have 12" x 2" Hayes Braking Assemblies with round magnets. If the magnets have failed then you would need to replace the entire braking assemblies as they no longer offer these magnets as replacement parts. Therefore, I recommend the Hayes/AL-KO Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # 185100-150 which use a five bolt brake mounting flange. If the hub/drums that you have now are not out of round then you can reuse them with the Hayes/AL-KO Electric Trailer Brake Kit. You would...

  • Run Time Per Tank of Gas for Etrailer Portable Inverter Generators Run in Parallel
  • The etrailer 4,900-Watt Portable Inverter Generators - 4,275 Running Watts - Gas - Manual # 333-0001-0002 will run for 4-6 hours at that 2,500 watts running load. That is with the generators in regular mode. You may get a little more time using Eco mode but that Eco mode is the biggest help with smaller loads under 25% not the 58% you stated. In general, when running in parallel without the eco mode you will get 8-9 hours at 25% capacity and 4-6 hours at 50% capacity. The Eco mode will...

  • Compatible Tonneau Cover and Ladder Rack for 2008 Ford F-150 with 5-1/2-Foot Bed
  • Most aftermarket tonneau covers and ladders racks are not compatible with each other when installed on the same vehicle. Most often this is due to them using the same mounting points, or similar mounting points that interfere with the installation or operation of the other item. The tonneau cover and ladder rack combination that is known to work well consists of the BAK Revolver cover and the Thule TracRac SR Sliding ladder rack. These products can both install and function correctly on...

  • Does Included 6-Way Connector Bracket Mount Directly to Tabless Base Plate # DM9519339
  • I spoke with my contact at Demco and the 6-Way connector bracket that is included with the Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM9519339 referenced in your question isn't really designed to mount to the base plates themselves. The bracket is a universal piece that will simply get mounted to a flat surface in a convenient location on your Jeep. Because vehicles greatly differ depending on various packages and models, there aren't any specific instructions as to how and where the bracket should...

  • Can 13 inch Trailer Wheel and Tire Replace 12 inch Size 5.30-12
  • The wheel and tire from Karrier part # AM31994 would work well for you. It's a 13 inch wheel with the tire size of 175/80-13 and a bolt pattern of 5 on 4-1/2 inch like you need as well. The pilot diameter is 3.19 inch too which is slightly larger than what you have now but will still work great. Overall diameter of the tire is 24.1 inches and the section width is 7 inch. You might compare that to what you have to make sure you have the additional clearance. Your current tire diameter is...

  • Thule Cargo Box Fit Recommendation for 2018 Toyota 4Runner
  • For your 2018 Toyota 4Runner with the factory roof rack the only cargo box Thule recommends as a fit is their Sidekick # TH78GC. The distance between the roof and the bottom of the crossbars on your roof rack is so low that only the U-bolt style of attachment like what the Sidekick has will fit without interference. Yakima also does not recommend any of their boxes as fits either.

  • Recommended Black Aero Roof Racks for 2018 Fiat 500X
  • We have aero-style roof racks for your 2018 Fiat 500X from two prominent companies, Inno and Thule, and these appear on the linked page. All such racks use bars that have the wing-like shape that cuts through the wind more easily and so they generate less noise at higher driving speeds. You may not know the Inno brand but they are the leading OEM rack maker for many popular vehicle brands in Japan. If your 500X has a bare roof with no existing rails or crossbars I suggest the Inno Aero...

  • Recommended Trunk-Mount Bike Rack for 2019 Subaru WRX Sti with Large Spoiler
  • For your 2019 Subaru WRX Sti with large factory spoiler I recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 carrier # Y02634 or the 3-bike version # Y02633 because both are specifically designed to work with this vehicle feature. Both of the FullBack racks include locks, have adjustable arms that can be moved to provide the best fit with your bikes' frames and both install using only 4 straps, instead of the more typical 6 mounting straps found on most other trunk-mount racks. You can refer to the linked...

  • The Hayes Air Actuated Trailer Brake Controller # HA100400C will work very well with your 1969 International Loadstar 1890 truck. These controllers are designed for air brake systems to create smooth electric trailer braking. They are both proportional controllers so they will give you the braking you are seeking. They are both adjustable so you will be able to ensure your unloaded trailer can also be towed as desired with smooth braking. Both of these controllers work well, so it comes...

  • Locating Brake Wire on Horse Trailer to Resolve Brakes Locking Up
  • The brake wire on a trailer is typically blue but this can certainly vary as trailer manufacturers tend to change up the colors they use at the factory and a previous owner may have also re-wired it using different color wiring. This is why it is always best to either try and trace the wiring back to its connection or test them by applying 12V power to the wire when trying to determine its function. The brake controller output pin on a trailer's 7-Way should be at the 5 o'clock position...

  • How to Bleed Brake Lines with Titan Model 60 Hydraulic Brake Actuator Without Electric Lockout
  • The Dexter Brake Actuator part # 099-175-20 replaced the Titan 60 that has a master cylinder with a fitting at the end. The fitting is a 3/16 inverted flare where the brake lines connect to. You do not need an extra fitting when you use the actuator. If you ever need to replace the fitting, it is part # T4750300. I recommend Kodiak Brake Line for Single Axle trailers part # 18SI-BLKIT. The flexible line of the Kodiak kit has a thread size of 3/8"-24 and fits a 3/16" fitting like the one...

  • Valve Stem Flow Through Sensors for Tire Pressure Management System
  • The Flow Through Tire Sensors for TST TPMS - Qty 2 # TST-507-FT-S2 comes with the nut that fits on the valve stem behind the sensor. This nut and the special wrench will allow you to tighten that nut to the sensor from the back to secure it to your valve stem for increased security. You are correct that the nut and wrench are on the input side of the sensor and not the output so I'll have that photo removed as it is incorrect.
