  • Can I Use the Die-Cast Grate for Furrion Range on a Dometic CU-423 Range
  • We don't carry Dometic ranges and ovens, so I can't confirm this, but I do believe the CU-434 you've referenced is actually the range/oven combo that uses the same cooktop/range piece as part CU-423. Because of this, based off what some of our neighbors are saying the Furrion # CFSRE21SA002 is a good fit for your CU-423. We have not tested this ourselves though.

  • Correct Lift Kit for 2017 Airstream Flying Cloud 23FB
  • Thank you for providing that picture. It is true that your typical #11 Torflex axle has a capacity of 4,100-6,000 lbs. However, your axle is in fact a #11 Torflex despite the 3,500 lb capacity. This was confirmed by Dexter. The correct lift kit for your 2017 Airstream Flying Cloud 23FB is the # K71-724-02.

  • Replacing The 2-Stage Regulator In A 2005 Forest River Work And Play Toy Hauler Trailer
  • The MB Sturgis High Capacity Two-Stage Auto Changeover Regulator # 888001-MBS wouldn't hurt your system as it is still going to reduce to 11" WC at the second stage but wouldn't be advantageous to have a higher BTU rating than what you actually need. You'll want to match the BTU rating as close as you can to the demand. The Compact Low Pressure 2-Stage Automatic Changeover RV LP Gas Regulator # 37207-31525 has a BTU rating of 262,500 which is typically more than enough for an RV.

  • How to Determine if Lippert Pull-Out Steps 432682 Will Work as Replacement Stairs
  • We can help you figure out if the Lippert Manual Pull-Out Step for RVs # LC432682 will work as a replacement for you, but we have no way of researching if they will fit your 2018 Airstream Sport 16RB because we do not have access to a complete list of parts for each trailer made. What I can tell you is that to find out if these steps are going to fit you will just need to measure to ensure you have enough room for the mounting bracket to fit. The Lippert steps you referenced have mounting...

  • Largest Tire For 15 x 5 or 15 x 6 Trailer Wheel
  • You said both 15 x 5 and 15 x 6, so I'm not sure which one you are going to, but I'll go over the options for you. First, keep in mind that the general rule of thumb is you want at least 3" of clearance from the top of the tire to your fender and at least 1" of clearance between the inside of the tire and your trailer's frame rail. So having said that, the largest tire for a 15 x 5 wheel is a size ST205/75R15 and the largest for a 15 x 6 is a ST225/75R15: - ST205/75R15: Karrier ST205/75R15...

  • Correct Lift Kit for 2021 Airstream Bambi 20FB
  • According to the information we have received from other Airstream Bambi owners your 2021 Bambi 20FB has a 4,500 lb #11 Torflex axle. This also matches up with the specs for your trailer. I recommend verifying this information by either checking the axle tag or calling Airstream to have them identify it using your VIN number. Assuming that is accurate, the Torflex Lift Kit # K71-724-02 you were looking at is the correct lift kit for your trailer.

  • Dexter Electric Brakes For 2017 Flying Cloud Airstream
  • Those are incorrect but we do have the correct Dexter electric brakes for your 2017 Flying Cloud Airstream, it just depends on the model number you have. So long as your axle has a 4-bolt brake mounting flange you can use the following: - Models 23FB, 25, 25FB, 25FB Twin, 26U, 26U Twin, 27FB, 27FB Twin, 28, 28 Twin: Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit # 23-468-469 - Models 19, 19 Bunk, 20, 25 Twin, 30, 30FB, 30FB Bunk, 30 Twin: Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit...

  • Axle Lift Kit for 2007 Airstream Bambi 19 Foot Travel Trailer
  • The lift kit you need is the Torflex Lift Kit - Tandem Axle - 2-7/8" Lift # K71-724-02 which only comes in a set for two axles. Unfortunately we don't sell a single axle lift kit for that specific axle and the mounting hole locations are specific so another lift spacer won't work.

  • How to Determine if Jack-It 2 Bike Rack Will Fit Trailer
  • It is very likely the Jack-It 2 Bike Rack for A-Frame Trailers # LC429756 will work with your Airstream but we don't have any way of knowing specific fits for this rack as it is a universal part. You will be able to tell pretty easily with just a couple measurements though. So long as your trailer has a jack with a tube that is up to 2-1/4" diameter, and you have 22-1/2" of clearance above the trailer frame, you can use the Jack-It. I have added a link to a video review for you to check...

  • What Is Considered Tongue Weight When Determining Best Weight Distribution System For My Trailer
  • The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems 12k head for part # EQ37120ET weighs around 22 lbs and the Equal-i-zer 14k Weight Distribution Systems head for part # EQ37140ET weighs around 25 lbs. However, when calculating tongue weight for a weight distribution system you would not add the weight of the system into the calculations. To choose a weight distribution system you want to go by the total weight of the setup. You would need to calculate the total tongue weight of the trailer when...

  • Front Hitch for a 2019 Ram 1500 Limited with Factory Tow Hooks
  • The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C87FR is a fit for your 2019 Ram 1500 Limited with the factory tow hooks. However, the tow hooks will need to be removed in order for the hitch to mount as they use one of the bolt holes needed for the hitch. In order to then assist with vehicle recovery it will be a good idea to keep something like the Curt Tow Strap Loop for 2" Hitches part # C45832 on hand. There isn't a front mount trailer hitches for your Ram that will allow you to...

  • Does etrailer Offer Any RV Power Cords Made In The United States
  • Yes, the SmartPlug line of power cords and all of their other accessories are all made here in the United States. Since you were looking at a 50 amp power cord you would need the SmartPlug RV Power Cord - 50 Amp - 30' # SM86FR along with the correct power inlet. Since you have a 2018 Airstream Flying Cloud Travel Trailer you'll most likely want the stainless steel inlet # SM79FR, but we also have a few other color options if you'd like: Black # SM56FR White # SM89FR Gray # SM29FR

  • Lift Kit for Dexter Torflex #11 Axle on 2008 Airstream Safari Bambi Travel Trailer
  • The only lift kit that Dexter Axle offers for your Torflex #11 axle, for whatever reason, is the Tandem Axle Kit # K71-724-02. We've double checked with Dexter directly a few different times and this is just what they sell. With this being the case I recommend either seeing if a friend is in a similar situation and wants to split the cost with you or you'll have to look into a whole new axle system for your trailer, which is even less appealing. I wish I had better news for you.

  • Determining The Correct RIse/Drop Ball Mount For Towing A 2023 16X Basecamp Travel Trailer
  • To measure for a drop or rise you'll first need your tow vehicle and trailer to be on level ground with the trailer leveled as well. Then you'll measure from the ground to the top of the inside of the receiver on your 2021 Toyota Tacoma. The next measurement is going to be from the ground to the bottom of the couple on the Basecamp travel trailer. The ball is not factored in when completing this calculation because you'll be measuring from the bottom of the coupler instead of inside of...

  • We currently offer the Dexter Nev-R-Lube Bearings in a few different sizes, 35MM part # 31-72-3, 42MM part # 31-73-3, or 50MM part # 31-71-3.

  • Will Hub & Drum With 6 on 5-1/2 Bolt Pattern Allow Switching to 6 Lug Wheel
  • Yes, assuming you know that this hub fits your spindle, you can certainly use 6-lug wheels with the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K. The hub is compatible with 14-1/2 to 16-1/2 inch wheels, which will fit so long as they have the same 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern. For example, the Aluminum Lynx Trailer Wheel # LHSL311, Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20539. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well of the Hub and Drum # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K,...

  • Lift Kit for 2017 Airstream Basecamp Travel Trailer
  • Based on my research your 2017 Airstream Basecamp travel trailer has a 4,000 lb Dexter Torflex axle; for that axle the correct lift kit is the Torflex Lift Kit - Single Axle - 2-5/8" Lift # K71-707-01. This lift kit is a fit for a #10 Torflex axle with capacities between 2,300 lbs and 4,000 lbs. I do recommend verifying that you have this axle with the manufacturer, and if you do have it, this will work for you. I have added a link to a video review to check out as well of the Torflex...
