  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 1998 Blue Bird TC2000
  • I would be happy to help! While there is not a custom fit trailer hitch receiver for your 1998 Blue Bird TC2000 your best option is going to be going with a universal heavy duty trailer hitch like the Draw-Tite # 41990-07 with 7" tall mounting brackets, or the # 41990-16 with 16" tall mounting brackets. These options fit frames between 18-44" wide which should be perfect for the frame on your vehicle. You will need to have a qualified welder weld the hitch to the frame of your TC2000. Both...

  • Recommended Replacement For An Atwood GH6-6E RV Water Heater
  • Dometic bought Atwood some time ago and has slowly been phasing all of the Atwood models out so we do have a replacement for you but not the exact same model. The Dometic RV Water Heater # DMC74FR would be the closest replacement 6 gallon water heater to your GH6-6E. That being said I highly recommend getting away from tanked systems altogether and getting the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR68SR. This unit features a heating capacity of 13,000 - 60,000 Btu, well above that of your...

  • Possible Trailer Hitch for 1999 Bluebird TC2000
  • The only type of hitch I could recommend for a school bus would be a multi-fit hitch like the # 13703 that is a universal style hitch designed to fit frames that are between 22 and 72 inches apart. This hitch can fit virtually all frame styles so it should work for you, but check out the install video and instructions I attached first. This could work well for you but we've not had anyone report back with a school bus like you have and let us know it worked.

  • How to Wire 4 12 Volt Batteries to a Motorhome
  • There are two different ways that you can attach the four 12 volt batteries to your 1983 Blue Bird Wanderlodge. You can attach them in series or parallel. Attaching the batteries in series will increase your power output. Attaching the batteries in parallel will keep power output the same but increase the capacity. The best way to wire them is all going to depend on how you use them. However, I recommend wiring them in parallel so you do not end up with a 48 volt system that would be difficult...

  • Highest Capacity Landing Pad and Leveling Block Substitution
  • I have a solution for you but none of our leveling blocks or landing pads are going to have that high of a capacity. You will want to use the Buyers Products Rubber Outrigger Pad item # 337OP18X18R. Buyer's Products doesn't have a maximum weight capacity for their pads. If the leveling system, landing outrigger, or jack fits on the 18" x 18" pad it can handle that amount of weight is how they are designed. We also have their larger Buyers Products Rubber Outrigger Pad 24" x 24" x 2" item...

  • Adding a Hitch and Brake Controller to 2002 Blue Bird School Bus
  • There are no hitches or wiring that are confirmed fits for your 2002 Blue Bird TC2000 but you can still add a universal-type hitch and hardwire your brake controller. For a hitch you would need something that is a frame mount such as the Curt # C13701 which is for 18" to 51" frames. I've added a link to our universal frame-mounted hitch so you can take a look and see what will work for you. To hardwire a brake controller you'd need to first add a 4-way with the Upgraded Circuit Protected...

  • How To Install a 4 and 7-Way Trailer Connector On a Bus
  • In order to install a 7-way with 4-way trailer connector on a bus with separate stop and turn signals you'll first need a 4-way with powered module, the Upgraded Circuit Protected Tail Light Converter Hardwire Kit part # 119178KIT is what I recommend. This can then be adapted to a 7-way with 4-way using the Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole part # 37185. There may also be a need to extend some of the wire depending on which circuits you'll be activating.

  • Is Gustafson RV Puck Light # 277-000343 Dimmable?
  • The Gustafson RV Puck Light - 3" - Recessed - 3 Watt # 277-000343 is a dimmable LED Light when used with a compatible dimmer switch. We don't carry the dimmer switch, but according to my contact at Gustafson it will be compatible. They said the switch will dictate how well it dims.

  • Can You Install Electric Trailer Brake Controller on Bluebird Bus with Air Brakes
  • An electric trailer brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 can be installed on a vehicle with air brakes no problem. The controller uses inertia so there is no need to splice into the air brakes, just the stop light switch circuit at the pedal. Most do however require a 12 volt electric system. If you have 24 volt then you'd need the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller part # RED44FR.

  • We do not offer any custom fit hitches for your 2000 Blue Bird All American but we do have universal-fit frame-mount RV type hitches available that are designed to offer installation flexibility. You can see these on the linked page. These hitches can fit varying frame widths and they include the Curt item # C13701 you referenced.

  • Brake Controller and Wiring Recommendation for 1983 Blue Bird Wanderlodge
  • Sounds like you are trying to wire a brake controller to your 1983 Bluebird Wanderlodge RV. The problem is that back in the 80's (and even the 90's), there weren't brake controller install ports like there are now to make installing a brake controller super simple and quick. You'd have to hardwire in a brake controller. For a wiring kit to install the brake controller to the 7-way you would want the Wiring Kit for 2 and 4 Brake Electric Brake Controllers # 5506. This will provide the...

  • Recommended Exterior RV Ladder to Fit Around Rails on 1981 Wanderlodge Roof
  • I may have a solution for you, however we do not currently have extensions available for the inside vertical mounting legs on a Exterior RV Ladder like the Surco Universal # SP502L. The Surco Universal Exterior RV Ladder may still work for your 1981 Wanderlodge depending on how high above the roof the referenced rail sits. The Surco Ladder is 84-1/2 inches long and the vertical portion of the inner mounting leg that attaches to the roof is 8 inches. The space between the vertical mounting...

  • Trailer Hitch Fit Recommendation for 2000 Blue Bird CV200

  • Hitch For A 20000 Bluebird All American TC Series Bus
  • For your 2000 Bluebird All American TC Series Bus I recommend Curt Class 5 Universal Weld-on Hitch w/ Brackets - 2-1/2" Receiver - 62" Wide Item # C59CR. With this being a universal weld on hitch the brackets can be moved to fit a wide variety of different frame widths. This is a class 5 hitch with an 18" drop, a 2-1/2" receiver tube opening, a 2000 lb maximum tongue weight and a 20,000lb gross trailer weight. I also recommend the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount - 2-1/2" Hitch - 7-1/2" Drop/Rise...

  • Recommended Hitch for Bluebird B7 School Bus
  • We don't have anything confirmed to fit on a Bluebird B7 chassis, but you can likely make a universal hitch like the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 72" Wide # 13703 work. This has an adjustable width so it can be used on frames between 22" and 72" apart and works on box frame, C-channel frame, or I-beam frames. If your Bluebird chassis has a frame like that with the side stanchions that distance apart then you can use the # 13703 on your schoolie RV. I've linked...
