Recommended Anti-Rattle Device for Towing a Travel Trailer

Question

Question:

I was hoping to talk to someone at Etrailer but after a 12 minute hold, I will try this approach. Can you recommend any anti-rattle device that will work for my 5,000 lbs travel trailer. It appears RM-061 is only for lighter weight towing objects. Thanks

The Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061 will work for your 5,000 pound travel trailer. As long as your trailer hitch receiver has a collar around it. The Quiet Hitch doesn't have a weight rating and is used in a variety of applications with much success.

If your hitch doesn't have a collar another option is the Blue Ox Immobilizer II # BX88224. It's a different design of anti-rattle that is very effective.

I've linked videos of both products for you.

What you're going to need is two of the transfer switches in that case. I have attached a diagram from Furrion that shows you how you're going to need to hook the two transfer switches #F30ATS up: -one to the other, then one branching off to…

I recommend going with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #C11424 for your 2017 Hyundai Elantra as long as it's a Sedan (excluding the Sport edition). I like the Curt hitches because they tend to have a thicker powder coat which helps to protect…

From what I could find it looks like your 122R (red) and 122Y (amber) lights measure 3.75" x 1.70" x .81". We don't have any replacement lense directly for the GLO-BRITE lights but we do have some similar lights that you could use…

Answer 11

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack on…

A cover being installed on your spare tire would not prevent the Swagman Bike Rack part #S80501 from installing. The rack would still fit and work well. You might still compare the dimensions in the picture I attached with you spare tire so that you…
