  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Spare Tire Carrier for a 2015 Toyota Sienna LE
  • Hey Susan, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98853 will work fine as a mounting point for a spare tire carrier like # c31006. The receiver tube on this hitch is open all of the way through and theoretically you could access the back end of it but you wouldn't ever need to. Finally, for a wiring harness I recommend going with the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56261 which just plugs into your OEM wiring, and gives you with a 4-pole connector.

  • Recommended Replacement Shackles and Wet Bolts for a 2020 Grand Design Solitude 380FL
  • Sorry about your troubles, I would be worried about the other ones failing too. To replace the shackles and wet bolts you will want to use the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit with either 2-1/4" Strap Kit item # MR46ZR or a 3-1/8" Strap Kit item # MR76ZR. You will need to measure the length of your current shackles and pick the kit closest to them. As far as replacing your leaf springs and equalizers go there's no better time to do it if you're already replacing your shackles and wet bolts....

  • Best Way To Convert A 2" Ball Coupler To A Lunette Ring
  • Hey Carlos we do have a good solution for converting the 2" ball coupler on your trailer to a lunette ring. What I recommend is the Demco 5-Position Adjustable Channel Bracket # DM13867-52. This can be bolted to a 3" wide trailer tongue and will give you the 3" wide channel that you are looking for. You can use that with a Lunette Ring like part # DM09557-81. You will also need some grade 5 or higher bolts such as # PS024202 to bolt the ring to the channel, as well as hardware for bolting...

  • 2024 Mazda CX-5 Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendations with Mounting Brackets
  • Hey Steve! I really like having the wiring sit next to the receiver as well so I definitely get where you're coming from. Here are the parts I recommend installing on your 2024 Mazda CX-5: - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98902 - Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C45FV - Mounting Brackets # 18144 and # C57202 There are a few grommets in the bottom of your hatch that you can route the 4-Way connector through and then you'll use the mounting brackets to hold the 4-Way next...

  • Recommended Platform Bike Rack for a 1-1/4 Inch Hitch
  • That all depends on the style of bike you're going to be using. The Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes item # HLY94FR you were looking at is a great option for bikes with alternative frames and fenders. It uses padded cradles with ratchet straps to secure your bikes by the downtubes or top tube. It does have a lower weight capacity at 35 lbs per bike and you wouldn't want to mount a bike with a carbon frame to it. If you have a heavier e-bike then you will want to go with...

  • Recommended Hitch and Wiring Harness for 2024 Honda Odyssey EX-L
  • For a hitch that fits your 2024 Honda Odyssey EX-L I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76170. The main reason I would choose this hitch over other options is the concealed crosstube. Not only does this improve clearance, it also gives the hitch a much cleaner look. The only hitch I think is better is the Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite # DT76GR, but that comes at a greater cost. This hitch has a completely removable receiver so you have no clearance lost and a factory...

  • What Might Cause Furrion Vision S Camera System to Have Intermittent Connection
  • The FR87PR is not the solution to the problem you are having. It would be for you if the problem was that the cameras weren't able to power up. Typically what fixes an intermittent connection issue is repositioning the antenna on the camera so that the monitor can pick up the signal better. The other possibility is that you have dirty pins on your trailer connectors that need to be cleaned off to allow the connections to be made more solid. That definitely lines up with the truck not...

  • Will The Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 8-259-5UC1-EZ Fit a 2023 Triton LTWCI Trailer?
  • To be able to verify the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 8-259-5UC1-EZ is the correct part for your axle I will either need the axle tag information on your 2023 Triton LTWCI trailer or I will need to know what bearings and grease seal your current hubs use. This hub uses the bearing # L44649 for both the inner and outer position along with a Grease Seal # 10-9. If this matches what you have the Hub # 8-259-5UC1-EZ will fit with the Aluminum Lynx Trailer Wheel # LH45FR and Taskmaster...

  • Best Cargo Carrier for Carrying a Lawn Aerator with Curt Class II Hitch on a 2017 Ford C-Max
  • Thanks for reaching out, Josh! The only carrier I can see working with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12092 on your 2017 Ford C-Max is the 19x47 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18110 which is rated for 300 lbs. Since this is only 19" deep you'll have about 5" of the lawn aerator hanging over each side of the carrier but it's the best option for your situation. Any other cargo carrier we have will use a higher wall profile so the aerator will have to sit a bit awkwardly on/in the carrier and...

  • Best Trailer Hitch for a Bus with 39" Frame Rail Spacing
  • Thanks for reaching out, Andrew! The best solution for adding a hitch to your bus is the Curt Class 5 Universal Weld-on Hitch w/ Brackets # C99CR since there aren't any custom options for your bus. Since this is a weld-on installation you'll need to have an experienced welder do the installation to make sure it is capable of safely towing your trailer.

  • 7-Way Relocation Option for 2014 Ford F-250 Installing Curt Hitch 14335
  • It sounds like your current 7-way is attached to the factory hitch of your 2014 Ford F-250 that you will be replacing with the Curt # C14355 and are looking for a way to relocate the 7-way. One solution would be the part # PK12711U that you referenced which will allow you to attach your 7-way to the bumper. Or you could replace the 7-way with the part # HM40975 which comes with a 7-way and 4-way plus a bracket to attach to the rear bumper.

  • Can 14" Wheels Replace 15" Wheels on Trailer
  • As long as the weight rating and bolt pattern matches you can definitely do that. I recommend pairing the Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel # AM20353 with the Provider ST215/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # TTWTRTM2157514D for your application so you get the standard 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and a 2,200 lbs at 65 psi load rating. If you have something different just let me know and I'll be more than happy to make a different recommendation for you!

  • Replacement Tarp For Extang Tonneau Cover On A 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 With 6.5' Bed
  • Good morning Michael I can definitely point you in the right direction. There are a few different Extang covers that fit the 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 with the 6.5' bed. Generally, we like to get a model number or serial number from the cover which we can cross-reference to narrow down exactly what replacement tarp you will need. If you don't have that we can definitely still try to narrow it down though. I see that you were looking at a replacement tarp for the Extang Trifecta 2.0. Is this...

  • Question About Hitch And Bike Rack For A 2024 Subaru Forester Sport
  • Good morning, Dale. We do offer a hitch for your 2024 Subaru Forester sport, as well as many compatible bike rack options. For a hitch I recommend etrailer Class 3 Hitch # e83ZR. This hitch can carry 525 lbs of tongue weight, so plenty for any bike rack. It also has a 2" receiver, meaning you will have a lot of bike rack options. My favorite bike rack is the Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # NV22B. It can hold bikes weighing up to 60 lbs apiece so it works with heavier e-bikes. This...

  • Do Weight Distribution Hitches Add To The Tongue Weight
  • Hey John, With weight distribution hitches we actually don't include the weight of the hitch itself into the tongue weight on the hitch because it's leveraging the weight through the frame to distribute it to the front axle. It's best to stay under 80-85% of your towing capacity to give yourself a buffer so upgrading the tow vehicle to something with a higher capacity might be the safest option depending on how heavy the trailer is once fully loaded. If upgrading to a higher capacity...

  • Tire and Wheel Upgrade Recommendation for 4.80-12 Tire with 4-Bolt Pattern Wheels
  • Thanks for reaching out, William! I recommend upgrading to the Kenda KR25 Radial Trailer Tire with 12" Aluminum HWT Wheel # AM31208HWT because you get a higher weight rating (1,220 lbs at 65 psi), a higher speed rating at 81 mph, and an aluminum wheel that not only looks more stylish than the standard steel wheel, but it also does a much better job at resisting corrosion when it comes to water exposure. You'll be taking away about 1/2" of height clearance to the fender, and about 1/2"...

  • Are 215/75R14 Load Range D Wheels And Tires Available
  • Hey Len, We have a 215/75R14 load range D tires # TTWTRTM2157514D but not already on a wheel unfortunately. You could take these tires to a local tire shop and get them mounted on some wheels like # AM20363 though.

  • Can Wireless App be Added to 2nd Motorhome Kit For Roadmaster BrakeMaster to Fill Air Bags
  • Hey Brian, So I'm sorry to say there isn't a way to add an app or way to wirelessly use the Second Motorhome Kit for Roadmaster BrakeMaster Systems for Hydraulic Brakes # RM-98300. I can see where you're coming from though, as wireless is wayyyy easier than manually monitoring and checking the air bags. It's such a pain I personally wouldn't want to go with anything but wireless, so if you were looking for something like that the easiest to use is the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System...

  • Help With Inserting Base Pads Into The Base Pad For Thule SUP Taxi XT Stand-Up Paddleboard Carrier
  • I reached out to Thule for some help with this as I have personally never taken out the Base Pads # TH69DH, # TH79DH from the Thule SUP Taxi XT Stand-Up Paddleboard Carrier # TH810001. They said first they were surprised you were actually able to get them all the way out to clean. Their recommendation for getting the pads to fit all the way back into the base is with using some warm soapy water. Then you should be able to press the pads all the way back in firmly from the center of the pad.
