• How to Remove the Coupler on a Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer
  I spoke with a representative of Yakima, and they told me that they did not use a lock nut or any type of Loc-Tite on the Yakima Rack and Roll, # Y08106 coupler, so it is likely just oxidization causing the problem. If an impact wrench and cheater bar have not worked, you may want to soak it in penetrating oil for 15 minutes and try applying heat to the area around the nut to get it to expand. A heat gun such as the Trades Pro, # ALL836717, can be utilized for this. Should that option...

• Recommended Wire Connector Used To Attach Lights On Boat Trailer
  In order to join lights together on a boat trailer you'll want to use heat shrink butt connectors like part # DW05743-10, part # DW05744-10, and part # DW05745-10 as they keep out moisture which reduces the chance for corrosion that cause lighting issues. If you need to tie multiple wires together, you can do so using one of the larger butt connectors. In order to seal these connections you also need a heat gun, the Trades Pro Dual Range Heat Gun w/ Nozzles part # ALL836717. I have attached...

• Parts Needed to Convert From Hydraulic to Electric Brakes for 3,500 lb Axles
  Thanks for that info, and based on what you said, it sounds like you have a standard brake mounting flange like # 4-35 for a 3,500 lb axle. I do recommend just double-checking the inside diameter of your drum, as electric brakes for 3,500 lb axles fit drums that have an inside diameter of 10 inches. Assuming that is correct, we have exactly what you need to outfit your tandem axle trailer with electric brakes, which are the following parts: - Two (for both axles) of the Electric Trailer...

• Wire For Trailer Lights & Electric Trailer Brakes
  We do indeed have wiring for trailer lights as well as electric trailer brakes. For the brakes you'll want 10 gauge wire, and for lights, 16 gauge wire, which you can get by the foot. To make the connections, the most secure way is by heat shrink butt connectors, so what you can use is the following: - Deka Jacketed 2-Wire, 10 Gauge Brake Wire - per Foot # 10-2-1 - Primary Wire - 16-Gauge - Black - per Foot # 16-1-1 - Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector - Qty 5 # DW05745-5 or Qty 10 # DW05745-10 -...

• Instructions & Can Other Connectors be Used to Install the Hopkins VueSMART Backup Camera
  For the most secure connection, when installing the VueSMART RV and Trailer Backup Camera # HM34FR, I do highly recommend using the included heat shrink butt connectors with a heat gun, the Heat Gun with Nozzles # ALL836717. However, if you'd like you can also use butt connectors that crimp such as the Butt Connectors # 05732-2. There are written directions which I've linked for you as well of the VueSMART RV and Trailer Backup Camera # HM34FR.

• Adding 5-Way With 25 Feet of Wire to Back of Trailer For Lights on Cargo Carrier
  So I think we have a solution here for you, but there isn't a vehicle-end 5-way that has 25 feet of wire, so you'll need to splice in additional wire. As for using the blue wire, that is the reverse light wire on the 5-way, so you would need that since you want to utilize a reverse light. Here is what you would need: - Hopkins Wiring Harness with 5-Pole Flat Trailer Connector - Vehicle End - 5' Long # HM37908 - Primary Wire - 16-Gauge - White - per Foot # DW02359-1 - Deka Heat Shrink...

• Reverse Light & Wiring For Boat Trailer
  So in order to add a reverse light to your boat trailer, all you need to do is connect the wiring from your junction box or 7-way directly to the reverse light's wires. For reverse lights, if you don't already have wiring at the junction box or your 7-way, what you can do is add 14 Gauge Primary Wire - Blue - per Foot # DW02414-1. Then you will simply run that wire to the reverse lights, which you can connect with butt connectors. The exact parts you will need to do this are the following: -...

• Do Trailer Lights Sparking Create a Short
  Yes, the reason the lights on your trailer are not getting power is because you created a short when the wires touched. You will need to replace the wire that shorted with the wire gauge you were using, likely 16 gauge # 16-1-1, 14 gauge # DW07550-1 or 12 gauge # 12-1-1. You will need to use Heat Shrink Butt Connector - 16-14 Gauge # DW05744-5 or 12-10 Gauge # DW05745-5 and Heat Gun # ALL836717 if you don't have one. I have added a link to a couple of help articles on trailer wiring which...
