Expert Answers about Chevrolet


  • Tire Recommendation for Size 20.5x8-10 on Coleman Fleetwood PopUp Camper
  • The tire size of 20.5x8-10 is the same as the size 205/65-10 which for that we have the Loadstar part # AM1HP56 which has a weight capacity of 1,650 lbs at 90 psi and a higher speed rating of 87 mph so it's overall a really great option. This is the largest size for a 10 inch wheel though so it's probably easiest to stick with this option. Going to a larger size would require a new wheel and tire combo like the # AM31202 which is a tire size of ST145/R12 and is only about .8 of an inch taller.

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for 2015 VW Eos
  • Your 2015 VW Eos features a multiplexed wiring system with combined circuits which means a powered converter is needed to both safeguard the vehicle's delicate wiring (the factory tail light circuits on your Eos can't handle the additional amperage of trailer lights) and properly read the voltage. Since the Hopkins Tail Light Converter Kit # HM48895 you referenced does not have a powered converter so it won't work for your vehicle. I instead recommend the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle...

  • Can Spacing of Rhino Rack Roof Rack for 2016 Chevy Colorado be Adjusted
  • With naked roof roof rack installs like the Rhino Rack # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK330 you have installed you have to stick with the recommended crossbar spacing. This spacing is where the roof is reinforced the best to carry the weight so if you move the rack around it's possible you could damage the roof.

  • Which Thule Kayak Carrier Can Carry 12 Foot Long Kayaks
  • The Stacker can carry up to 4 kayaks as long as they are 10 feet in length or less but since your kayaks are 12 feet you can't use this rack unfortunately. You'd have to use J-style kayaks like the JayLow part # Y04073 for each kayak as these do not have length restrictions. Be sure to check the weight capacity of your roof and roof rack and be sure not exceed this figure with the weight of your kayaks and carriers. The Y04073 weighs 13 lbs.

  • For your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon we have the Draw Tite hitch part # 76227 which has a tongue weight capacity of 600 lbs. It has a hidden cross tube as well which allows it to be less visible than most hitches too. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe for Carrying Kayak and Bike on Roof
  • At this time (June 2019) we only have roof rack fits for versions of the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe that have the flush roof rails so that would be only way we can help you install a rack to carry a kayak and a bike. For a roof rack you could then install the Thule WingBar roof rack part numbers # TH711200, # TH460R, and # THKIT4093 to give you a really nice looking, easy to install, and very aerodynamic (less wind noise) roof rack on your Santa Fe. Then for a kayak carrier the Yakima JayLow...

  • What Would Cause Bouncy Ride Quality When Towing Trailer with Weight Distribution System
  • If you are experiencing a bouncy ride condition with your weight distribution system that indicates that you have a WD system that is rated too high for the tongue weight of your setup. If you use a system rated to high you end up with a harsh or bumpy ride quality and if you go with a system rated too low you end up with an ineffective system. There isn't a product out there that will fix this like the Roadmaster kit you mentioned. The best way to pick out a weight distribution system...

  • Can Furrion Chill RV AC Unit be Used in Place of Coleman Mach 3 AC Unit
  • When using the Furrion Chill AC Unit part # FR86PR in place of a Coleman Mach 3 you'll need to also use the Coleman Wiring Conversion Kit for Furrion Chill Rooftop Air Conditioner Unit # C-FACR15SA-A01 to make the connection. This does cut down the speed options you have to high and medium, or if you want to also install the Furrion Thermostat part # FR33PR you'll have ability to retain all three speeds as well as operate a furnace if present.

  • What PSI Should Trailer Tires be Inflated to
  • If you have Maxxis or Goodyear tires you should follow their inflation charts as they are unique in the trailer tire world and don't always recommend the max tire pressure. All of the manufacturers we carry with the exception of Goodyear state to always run max for the trailer tire inflated when cold.

  • Is Trailer License Plate and Trailer Running Light on Same Circuit
  • The license plate light is on the same circuit as the running light circuit. If the fuse blew most likely it was related to a short or an over draw on the circuit which may have had something to do with the license plate light. I'd check the wiring that runs to the license plate light to see if you can find a short like cut or exposed wire and fix as needed. I attached a couple help articles on trailer wiring for you to check out as well.

  • Help Finding Trailer Wiring Install Harness in 2018 Honda C-RV
  • Your 2018 Honda CR-V does have the connector needed to install the Curt trailer wiring harness part # C56370 but due to the location of where the harness is its most likely buried behind other harnesses in that area. You'll want to keep digging and you'll eventually find it. This is a pretty common issue for installs like this. You may have to pull the interior panel back even further to find it. I attached an install video for this harness for you to check out as well.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Lighting that Stops Functioning When Headlights are On
  • Your main problem is an insufficient ground for the trailer wiring. Try improving the connection of the main ground wire of the trailer wiring harness. Make sure it is attached to a clean metal surface. Or you can run all of the trailer wires back to the main ground. This is actually the ideal solution. But you can also check the current grounds for the lights to make sure they are making a solid connection to a clean metal surface. When the vehicle headlights and trailer running lights...

  • Recommended Safety Cable That Is At Least 64 Inches Long
  • The safety cables I highly recommend are from Roadmaster, the Single Hook, Straight Safety Cables. These cables are galvanized steel with a strong vinyl coating for protection and hooks that are forged steel for optimal strength. You can get them in either 64 inch or 76 inch lengths: - 64 Inches (Single Hook): Roadmaster 64" Single Hook, Straight Safety Cables - 8,000 lbs # RM-645 - 64 Inches (Double Hook): RoadMaster 64" Double Hook, Straight Safety Cables - 10,000 lbs # RM-648 - 76...

  • Recommended 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado
  • The best trailer wiring harness for a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado is the Hopkins Multi-Tow 7-Way Blade and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector part # HM11141144 because it comes with both 4 and 7-way trailer connection points and it installs inside the factory bumper cutout. The Colorados all come with these wires already run to the best of my knowledge. If you need help finding them take a look at the video below. If you can't find the wires then we do have the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring...

  • Is There a Shock Kit for a Trailer with 1-3/4" Diameter Axle
  • I do have an option for you but none of the trailer shock kits available are designed to fit axles smaller than 3,500 lbs. That said, the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Add-On Kit part # RM-2450-50 should work as uses the existing u-bolts. The only option to increase ride quality is with the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs part # TSS-106-40 which would be a confirmed fit.

  • How To Determine What Reese Sidewinder Pin Box Fits a Dutchmen Royal 5th Wheel
  • If there is no tag or sticker on the pin box itself that can be used to identity the model number then you will need to measure the bolt pattern and then use the chart in the link below to match this up with a model number. The Reese Sidewinder Fifth-Wheel Pin Box part # RP34FR fits the most common model which is a Lippert 1621.

  • Will the Reese Semi-Custom Base Rail and Installation Kit Fit a 2019 Ram 1500
  • The Reese Semi-Custom Base Rail and Installation Kit part # RP30035-386 is for a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic. That said, the kit requires you to drill into your frame which is not what I recommend. Instead, I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit which does not require any drilling into the frame. If you have a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic then you need part # RP50142-58 but if you have a 2019 Ram 1500 then you need part # RP56018-53.

  • Upgraded Trailer Hitch for 2019 Forest River FR3 Motorhome
  • The best option we can offer you is the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 41991-16 which has a 16,000 lb weight capacity. In order to install this hitch you will need to have it either bolted or welded to the frame. We do not offer any custom fit trailer hitch options for this motorhome which is why you will need to bolt or weld the above on.
