2020 and newer GM trucks use pulse width modulation which won't send enough power to properly operate a Furrion RV camera system. To solve this Furrion came out with the # FR87PR which corrects the problem by looping over power from the 12v circuit to the running light circuit.
ASA Electronics made the # VGR64VR and it just so happened to also solve the power issue by storing power and properly feeding the main camera 12 volts and fixing the signal issues. You would only need to use one... view full answer...
I have seen some instances of the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 # AL57338 of having leaks, but these are mostly due to not having a completely squared off cut on the air lines and air leaking from the tubes; not the bags themselves. You'll want to try removing the line, re-cutting the line totally square and then reinstalling it on the bags; after a couple of days check the pressure on the air bags to see if you're still losing air.
If you're still losing air, it's possible that the bags have... view full answer...
I reached out to my contact at Lippert and he said the issues you're having with auto leveling or auto hitching the Ground Control 3.0 System # LC358590 are likely because the Zero Point has not been set (or just needs to be reset). I have attached an image from the system's manual detailing this process.
After setting the Zero Point the Auto Level feature should work perfectly to bring the trailer back to this designated point every time you hit the button. Please just let me know if... view full answer...
Most aftermarket brake controllers like the excellent Prodigy units # 90885 and # 90195 have settings for both standard electric drum brake trailers and for electric-over-hydraulic (EOH) actuator trailers. Since these two types of trailer braking systems present very different electrical loads the brake controller must have an operating mode for each type. Some factory-installed controllers will not have this dual-operation capacity. If your 5th wheel has EOH brakes, you'll want to check... view full answer...
The auxiliary 12 volt circuit of your 7-way would not require the brake controller to be applied in any way. Most likely the circuit is just not completed under the hood of your truck.
If you check out the help article I attached you will see how to make these connections to activate this circuit. view full answer...
To add an additional 7-way to the bed of your 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 we have kits like the Hopkins part # 41157 which plugs inline with the 7-way at the rear of your truck and gives you an additional one you can install up in the truck bed or wherever is most convenient for you. view full answer...
While there is still an option to add some lift to your trailer, the Lippert Lift Kit you mentioned will not work with boot hangers.
Instead, what you'll need is an over/under conversion kit, which moves your trailer's leaf springs to the top of your axle and lifts your trailer approximately the same amount as your axle's diameter plus the height of the leaf spring pack. The correct kit will depend on the diameter of your axles.

Lets begin with the non-functional trailer running lamp circuit. I'd suspect a fuse in the engine compartment fuse block in location # 15. Replace the fuse but before plugging the trailer back in, you'll want to closely examine the running lamp circuit on the trailer and its trailer connector to locate the short and repair it or you continually blow fuses. This could be an intermittent problem caused by a loose connection or some cracked or worn wire insulation on the wire in the running... view full answer...
Installing Timbrens like part # TGMRCK25D on your 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 can help give you more control, but a properly rated weight distribution system should negate the use of any kind of suspension enhancement on your pickup, especially if it's rated well over your trailer weight rating.
What I recommend doing is checking the tongue weight of your trailer prior to adding a Timbren kit to your pickup. A properly loaded trailer will have a tongue weight that is 10-15% of the weight... view full answer...
The things to check when experiencing chucking are the integrity of the hitch jaws, the king pin compatibility with the hitch, and the leveling of the trailer. Since you said your hitch and king pin plate is new the jaw to king pin connection is most likely not the issue here. One option to help with chucking is to replace your pin box with a an air ride pin box like the Trailair Flex Air 5th Wheel Pin Box - Lippert 1621 - 18,000lbs Item # LC328492 (note: this model replaces Lippert 1621... view full answer...
I took a look at the owner's manual for your 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500 and it said that if the "Check Trailer Wiring" message appeared you have the Integrated Trailer Brake Control (ITBC) and it indicates there is a short in the wiring going to your electric brakes. You will need to go over that wiring and look for the short, paying attention to any broken, crimped or otherwise damaged wires. view full answer...
To fix the jaws of a hitch like the Curt Q20 5th Wheel Dual Jaw Trailer Hitch, Item # C16130, when they are out of alignment, you will start by making sure the flip lock is hanging freely in a clockwise, rotated position. Then pull out the lock bar so that it is in the fully extended position and then release it. This action will reset the jaws. Afterwards, check and make sure jaws are working properly.
If the jaws are still out of alignment and the hitch does not seem to be damaged then... view full answer...
It sounds like this has been an issue that started intermittently and has progressed to a full on malfunction. There are a couple of things that could be going on here; this could be as simple as the thermocoupler going bad, bad thermostat or the switch going out.
Before going to replace the control panel # AT91367 , I'd recommend replacing the thermocoupler with one of the Universal Fit Camco units like # CAM09273 (18" long). You could also install a new switch with part # AT91959 or... view full answer...
The circuit on a 7-way that brings 12V power to the trailer, for topping-off the trailer battery's charge or for operating interior trailer lights, is carried on the pin at the 1-o-clock position as you look at the socket on the back of the truck. (Please refer to the linked photo).
You can use a simple tester like # PTW2993 to see if the 12V auxiliary power feed is active. If not you may only need to install a missing fuse. According to my research the trailer battery fuse is in position... view full answer...
Yes, that is correct, the:

I took a look at the online owner's manual of a 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500 and there was no listing of a trailer brake relay for this truck. The trailer brake fuse is fuse number 1 in the engine compartment fuse block so you may want to take a look at that first. There was a relay for the trailer parking lamps, which was relay 63 in the instrument panel fuse block access door on the passenger side edge of the instrument panel.
You can find this on page 402 and 403 of the online manual;... view full answer...
If the running lights and side markers aren't working at all on your utility trailer, then the first thing you will want to do is test the running lights pin on your tow vehicle's connector. Use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to test the pin while the running lights are activated in the vehicle.
If you get power, there then you know the problem is on the trailer but if you don't then there's an issue on the vehicle side. If you didn't get power the most likely culprit is a blown or missing... view full answer...
Many things can cause uneven tire wear, including a bent axle, an overloaded trailer and worn or broken suspension components.
A trailer axle should be slightly arched, with the high spot in the center of the trailer and the spindles on either end being slightly lower. When the trailer is loaded the arch will flatten, placing the trailer tire treads in full contact with the road surface. A damaged or overloaded axle may place the inside edge of the tires in greater contact with the road,... view full answer...
Since your truck's 7-way wiring is factory-installed there could simply be a bad fuse causing your right turn signal not to function. Check the power distribution box for any fuse/relay positions labeled trailer or tow and confirm the fuse/relay is not blown and that it is fully seated in the receptacle. Mini-fuse position 17 relates to right-side trailer turn lights.
You can also test the wire leading to the 7-way pin with a tester like # PTW2993 to see if the signal is making it that... view full answer...
Since the new Chevrolet integrated brake controllers are proportional, when testing the brakes with the brake pedal on your 2014 Chevrolet Silverado they will only send back about a low voltage since the truck is not moving.
To test the trailer brakes' voltage or amperage, you will want to turn up the gain on the brake controller and use the manual override. Since the manual override doesn't care if the truck is moving or not, using the manual lever will give you a more accurate reading... view full answer...
