  • Solar Panel System And Inverter Needed For A 2021 Keystone Cougar 5th Wheel With Zamp Solar Inlet
  • Hey Lawrence, That is correct, solar panels systems are simply to recharge the battery and wouldn't directly power anything. They'll run directly to the battery bank. The Zamp inlet you have most likely is just a 2-pole SAE connector with a positive and negative wire ran directly to the battery for you plug in a portable solar panel system. An Inverter takes power from your battery bank and increases it from 12v to 120v so that you can run larger appliances without shore/generator power....

  • Wiring Trailer Brakes On a 5TH Wheel Trailer
  • For the wires coming from the brakes they do not matter as they connect to the magnets in the drum brakes which are not polarity specific. So one wire from each brake will connect to the frame/ground wire as a ground and the 2nd wire will connect to the positive wires coming from the 7-way. The brown wires running through the axle are simply put there by the axle manufacturer so you do not have to run wiring down both sides of the frame. As for the 2 white wires on your 5th wheel you...

  • Weight Distribution System Recommendation For A 2022 Ember Overland Travel Trailer
  • Hey Jeff, cool trailer. It sounds like you are already on the right track here, because the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System # C17501 is definitely a good option for your Ember 240TKR travel trailer. This system is intended for trailers with a tongue weight between 1,000 lbs and 1,500 lbs. Generally, the tongue weight of a travel trailer will be 10%-15% of the total weight. it sounds like your trailer is going to be a bit heavier on the tongue, so I am thinking you may be closer...

  • Does the B&W Continuum Work w/ Trailers that Have 4 Inch Tall Frames?
  • Thanks for the pictures! No, I am sorry Richard you can not. The B&W Continuum item # BW78FR only works with frames that are 5" and 6" tall. Instead, I recommend using the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control item # EQ37100ET. The Equal-i-zer item # EQ37100ET has a tongue weight range of 600 lbs - 1,000 lbs so it would be perfect for your car trailer. This system has built in 4-point sway control that will keep your trailer in line with your truck when you make...

  • Does The Saris Door County Bike Rack # SAR42RR Fit All 2" Trailer Hitch Receivers
  • Hi David, The Saris Door County Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # SAR42RR does require a 2" trailer hitch receiver tube opening in order to mount. Hitch pin holes for a 2" hitch are typically 5/8" in diameter. The anti-rattle hitch pin lock # SA3022 included with this rack has a 7/16" thickness and threads into the shank of the rack to clamp it to the receiver tube and prevent any movement/rattling. As long as you have a 2" trailer hitch receiver you'll be able to use the Saris Doo County...

  • Does The Optronics Trailer Clearance Light # MC32RB Come With Bulbs
  • Hey David, The Optronics Trailer Clearance or Side Marker Light w/ Reflector # MC32RB comes with a 194 bulb # A194B. The mounting holes are 3" apart from center to center, but with this being a surface mount you can just use on hole and fill in the other hole with some sealant and shoot the screw in making a new hole.

  • Are There Combo AC & Heat Units For RVs
  • Hi Connie, The closest thing we offer is an air conditioner unit that comes with a heat strip as opposed to a full heating function. But the way it works is you'll just turn the dial on the distribution box to the heat setting and the fan will blow hot air from the heat strip. There are a couple options for that, depending on what color you want: - White: Advent Air Low Profile RV AC w/ Air Distribution Box, Start Capacitor, and Heat Strip - 15,000 Btu # ASA26YR - Black: Advent Air Low...

  • No, not at all! You will be all good with the extra capacity.

You will also need the Reese Safety Chain Kit with Clevis Hooks item # RP49151. These are not included with the goose box but are legally required.

  • Does Better Bath RV Kitchen Sink Come with Cover to Expand Counter Space
  • Hi Susan! The Better Bath RV Kitchen Sink # LC209356 doesn't come with a cover but you can either reuse your old one or use a universal one like the Camco Sink Mate # CAM43859 or the Camco Oak Accents RV Sink Cover # CAM43431. Both of these will be a little larger than the Better Bath sink, but they will still cover the opening completely so you don't have to worry about dropping anything into the sink.

  • Do You Offer TPMS Tire Kits With a Total of 12 Sensors?
  • The Kit # TM56FR with 10 sensors you found is going to be the largest amount of sensors that come with a unit as this is typically the most common setup. You can easily add additional Sensors # TM-2Brass to fit all your tires. I would recommend going with the flow through Kit # TM98FR and 3 sets of their Sensors # TM66FR as then you will not need the wrench included with the sensors to remove them every time you need to add air to your tires.
