The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use.
So when your trailer is loaded it... view full answer...
There are actually several different bolt patterns for a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van. If you have the larger 6 on 205 mm bolt pattern which can be found on the 3500 models then the Front Mounted Trailer Hitch Universal Spare Tire Carrier part # 6715 cannot be used because the slots will not span the distance between the lug nut holes it needs to attach to on your wheel. However, we do still have an option for you in the Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier part # RM-195225 which is... view full answer...
The Draw Tite hitch part # DT45517 that you referenced has a mounting bracket designed for attaching a trailer wiring bracket like the part # 18144 to. You would simply need to attach the bracket to the hitch and it would easily store a 4-way. view full answer...
If it were my trailer I would go with the Castle Rock ST205/75R14 Radial Tire w/ 14" Condor Aluminum Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - LR C - Gunmetal # LH84VR. These are high quality wheels and tires. The wheels are aluminum, so they are naturally resistant to corrosion. I've linked a review video of this tire # LHCK201 and wheel for you.
The tire has a 5-year warranty, the wheel a 1-year warranty, and Westlake also has a 1-year "no excuses" guarantee. That means if within the first 12 months the... view full answer...

The correct SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizer and Sway Control Kit for your 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500 Classic is the part # SSA10MXKT. This will do a great job of reinforcing the rear suspension on your truck by providing you with extra leaf springs to stabilize the factory units while also working to maintain a level ride when under load. The springs have a weight capacity of 1,650 pounds and they will be a simple bolt-on installation.

Cab and chassis trucks will have a more narrow frame than standard trucks. If your frame rails are 34 inches apart you have a cab and chassis 2007 Chevy Silverado 3500. If the rails are 37 inches apart it was a standard bed truck before the flatbed install.
If you have a cab and chassis truck you would want the part # AL57286, or if you have a standard bed truck you would want the # AL57275.

I recommend the TorkLift SuperHitch Original Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # TLC1205 for your Silverado if you have an 8-ft bed on your truck. If you have a 6-1/2 ft bed the hitch I recommend is part # TLC1204.
As far as the extension you will need to measure the distance from the hitch pin hole to the end of the camper to see what length extension you will need.
We offer different length extensions like part # TLE1524 for a 24 inch extension. For a 32 inch extension I recommend part... view full answer...
The easiest way to tell the difference between the 2007 Chevy Silverado Classic and New Body Style is the tail gate or the tail lights. The new body style will have a large Chevy bow tie emblem in the center of the tail gate. It will also have red tail light assemblies. Take a look at the parts I have linked that show the new body style and the classic body style.
If you have a classic model, you will need to use # VGM-99-4000. I do not believe the new body applied to the 2500 and 3500... view full answer...
Yes, the Curt hitch part # C14332 that you referenced would fit a 2007 Chevy Silverado Classic that has a frame distance of 42 inches from outside to outside. The distance between the mounting holes is 39 inches. view full answer...
I looked up the towing capacity of a 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500 with a 6.0 and every configuration was well over 7,600 lb so yes it could. Looks like lowest configuration is 9,600 lb towing capacity and highest 13,000 lb. I'd recommend confirming this with your owners manual or local GM dealer though.
If you were looking for a fifth wheel hitch the Curt A20 part # C16140 would be a great option. It has more than enough weight capacity and also has a really tight jaw design that which provides... view full answer...
The correct underbed brackets for a 2007 Chevy Silverado Classic are # RP50064 that you have referenced. However, I cannot say if they will work with RBW rails are not because they have not been tested together.
I do know that the Lil Rocker does fit in Reese 5th wheel rails so My recommendation is to use the complete installation kit, # RP50064-58. That way you know that everything is going to work together. I have included some links on installation of the kit for you.

Sometimes brake controllers need to be reset as they get a weird internal bug. Try unplugging yours for a minute or so and replugging in and see if that helps. Here's how to test the controller though:
Testing the brake controller is fairly easy. Sever the blue brake output wire near the brake controller leaving enough room to reconnect it and then apply the manual slide. Using a circuit tester like the Tester, part # PTW2993, you should get output to the controller side of the wire you... view full answer...
A Sidewinder with a 5th Airborne built into it would be your absolute best solution. You'd get the turning clearance plus the cushioning from the 5th Airborne. But to pick one out we have to know what pin box your trailer currently has. You will need to find the plate or sticker on the pin box that has the model number listed. A very common one is Lippert 1621.
With that you will need to check out the link I attached that has a chart at the bottom with the matching Sidewinder for each pin box. view full answer...
Yes, the fifth wheel rail install kit part # RP50064-58 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500 so it would work well for you.
The included rails of this kit are compatible with some RBW hitches (like the lil rocker) so it could work well with your hitch too. You would need to compare the rails to the ones in the picture I attached.
I attached an install video for this rail kit for you to check out as well. view full answer...
The Reese M5 5th Wheel Hitch part # RP30928 can be used on a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 but you need to use the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # RP50064-58. Don't forget the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Wiring Harness 7-Pole part # C56000. view full answer...
You have two options for 5th wheel towing with a short-bed truck such as your 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Diesel 4X4 with 6-1/2-foot box. A sliding 5th wheel hitch is one way to get around the limited trailer-to-cab clearance with such short-bed trucks and the other is to use a Sidewinder replacement pin box on the 5th wheel. Both of these products, which cannot be used together, provide additional turning clearance for low-speed maneuvering.
There are several types of 5th wheel installation... view full answer...
Timbren does offer a fit for your truck, part # TGMRTT35S but I'd recommend going with the SumoSprings
# SSR-201-47-2 instead. The Timbren model is more designed for severe service vehicles like tow trucks, and wouldn't give you the ride quality you're looking for. The SumoSprings would offer 4600 lbs of additional support without ruining your ride quality. The kit is compatible with DRW vehicles. The springs sit inboard of the leaf spring packs, so they won't interfere with your existing... view full answer...
