  • What Other Grease Can the LubriMatic Disc/Drum Brake and Wheel Bearing Grease Be Mixed With
  • The LubriMatic Disc/Drum Brake and Wheel Bearing Grease part # L11380 is a lithium-complex based grease. Lithium complex grease like this is compatible with most types of grease so you just need to make sure what you have isn't Barium, Bentonite Clay, or Conventional Polyurea. If you currently have one of these complexes of grease, you just need to thoroughly clean out all of the old grease before repacking with # L11380.

  • Troubleshooting Curt Echo Mobile Brake Controller that Required Higher Settings Second Use
  • Is it possible the brakes on the camper are self-adjusting and were new? This is a common problem where they aren't fully adjusted so they take a higher brake controller setting but as they tighten with each application they eventually feel more and more touchy/powerful with every application so you end up needing to lower the brake controller output settings. With the lower brake output settings do the brakes seem to react smoothly? Or do they lock up immediately? If they lock up immediately...

  • WFCO-8753-P Replacement Converter Suggestion

This is designed to replace your WFCO-8735-P, and is compatible with lithium batteries.

  • Recommended RV Cover For A 2018 Aliner Ranger 12 Pop-Up Camper
  • For your 2018 Aliner Ranger 12 Camper I recommend the Adco Polypropylene RV Cover for Pop-Up Camper # 290-2894. This polypropylene cover is rated for use in all climates, as you can see in the attached climate map. It is constructed of a lightweight non-abrasive fabric that protects against moderate sun, dust, and water and won't scratch the buddle window on the roof of your camper. The cinch ropes at the front and rear of the cover remove slack and reduce billowing and the weighted straps...

  • Determining The Correct Replacement Axle For 2012 Aliner Classic Camper
  • It is possible that the Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Idler Hubs - EZ-Lube - 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 72" Long - 2,000 lbs # 20545I-EZ-72-15 you were looking at will fit your 2012 Aliner Classic Camper but the only way to be sure it to measure your current axle, and find the axle rating of your current axle. Starting with the measurements you will need to know the hub face to hub face and spring center to spring center measurements. For example the # 20545I-EZ-72-15 has a hub face to hub face...

  • How to Find Correct Replacement Wheel For 2022 Aliner Expedition
  • While we don't have any way of knowing what exact wheel is on a 2022 Aliner Expedition, from what I saw on their website they did use 14 inch wheels and not 15 inch like you mentioned. You'll need to verify that on your end but if they do have 14 inch wheels, the 14 inch version of the Dexstar you mentioned is the following: - Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20363 If for some reason you find you didn't have 14 inch wheels I have added a link below to our entire selection of wheels.

  • Replacing AL-KO 10 x 1-3/4 Electric Trailer Brakes 2018 Airliner Classic Camper
  • I must recommend that you replace the hub/drum as well when changing the size of your braking assemblies because the surface area on the old drums may not line up with the new braking assemblies which is why I recommend replacing both at the same time. The 10" x 1-1/2" braking assemblies part # K23-472-473-00 will use the same four bolt brake mounting flange as the 10" x 1-3/4" braking assemblies you but we no longer have a correct hub for these. The most common replacement for the 10"...

  • Can 175/80-13 Radial Tires be Used on the Same Rim as 175/80-13 Bias Tires
  • The only difference between your current Loadstar tires and the Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # AM10210 is going to be bias vs. radial and potentially a different load rating. When it comes to size, these tires will be the same and will fit on the same rims you already have. The Karrier # AM10210 has a maximum load of 1,650 lbs at 70 psi and a max speed of 81 mph. This radial ply tire is designed for trailers towed on the highway giving you longer tread life and...

  • Comparing Fusion LED Trailer Tail Lights Part STL211XRFHB and Part OPT37FR
  • The main difference between the Fusion LED Trailer Tail Light part # STL211XRFHB and the Fusion LED Trailer Tail Light part # OPT37FR is that the stop/turn signal portion of the former is a red lens with red LEDs and the latter is a white lens with red LEDs. The white lens with red LEDs will be brighter/clearer hence the price increase. I recommend the latter as our best option for clarity.

  • Should I Follow the Specs for Tire Pressure in Owners Manual of My Trailer or On the Actual Tires
  • You'll always want to follow the specs that are listed directly on the tires themselves. It sounds like you've got the Loadstar ST185/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire - Load Range D # AM1ST79, which are designed to be run at 65psi and have a capacity of 1710-lbs per tire; these tires are well rated for a camper that has a GVWR of almost 2000-lbs, so you've got nothing to worry about.

  • Replacement Bearings, Races, Grease Seals & Bearing Buddy Protectors 2012 Aliner Expedition Camper
  • As your 2012 Aliner Expedition has a GVWR of 3,500lbs you most likely have the standard #84 spindle which will use the Bearing Kit # BK2-100. If you can find the axle tag or serial number stamped on your axle I can confirm this is what you have with the axle manufacturer. Otherwise you might pull one of your hubs apart to verify you have the following bearings and grease seals. Inner Bearing # L68149(Inner Diameter 1.378") Outer Bearing # L44649(Inner Diameter 1.063") Grease Seal # 58846(Inner...

  • Storage Cover Recommendation for a 2015 Aliner Evolution Camper
  • From what I could find it looks like your 2015 Aliner Evolution camper is 22' long. If this is the box itself then you need the Adco SFS AquaShed RV Cover for Hi-Lo Travel Trailers # 290-12252 but if that 22' length includes the trailer tongue then your box is likely closer to the 18' length that the Cover # 290-12295 fits instead. The SFS AquaShed is one of the better storage covers as it's designed with some breathability to prevent mold and mildew buildup and it comes with cinch ropes...

  • Lift Kit For Avan Aliner With Torsion Axles
  • For a torsion axle such as your Avan Aliner we have kits available that will give you some extra clearance. The Avan Aliner is a single axle trailer, so we have two kits that will work for you. Torsion axles must be side-mounted and not top mounted and can not be used with Torflex axles with 3 inch high profiles. The first one I recommend is The Torflex Lift Kit - Single Axle - 2-5/8 inch Lift # K71-707-01 which is compatible with #10 Torflex axles with 2,300 to 4,000 pound capacities....
