Expert Answers about Coachmen


  • Recommended RV Door Latch for 5" x 5" Opening
  • I have some great replacement RV door latch options. The only one we offer that would come close to fitting such a large cutout is the Bauer Products Camper Door Lock part # BA65FR which fits up to 5-1/4" wide x 4-1/2" tall openings so slight modifications would be needed to be made compatible. It is our best option at this time for replacement.

  • Availability of a Monitoring Camera Capable of Viewing Behind RV at all Times
  • The Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System # FOS05TASF will allow you to install an additional camera on your 2018 Coachmen Leprechaun that you can monitor at all times. The 5" monitor will wirelessly communicate to the camera so you will not have to run wiring all the way through your RV. The camera is powered by connecting to the power to the running lights on your RV. You will need to ensure you have your running lights on at all times you want to use the camera.

  • How To Find Correct Replacement Exterior Range Hood Vent for a Coachmen Freedom Express Ultra Lite
  • I don't have a way to look up exactly what exterior range hood vent is needed for a Coachmen by Forest River Freedom Express Ultra Lite Series but I can help you find the correct one. In order to make sure you get the correct one just measure the opening (with vent removed). If it's roughly 10-1/2" wide x 3-3/4" tall you can use the Ventline Exterior Wall Vent for RV Range Hood part # V2111-55 for black or part # V2111-13 for white. If needed, you may need to enlarge the opening just slightly...

  • Replacement Step Motor for Triple Step With 909510000 Part Number
  • In order to confirm the correct replacement motor for your steps I would need either the model number of the step or the part number on the motor. I have attached a photo for you that shows how to find the step model number. That said, if the number you found is "909510000" I can confirm that the Lippert Components Kwikee Motor part # LC379147 is what you need.

  • Recommended Bike Carrier For 2 Electric Bikes On The Back Of A Motorhome / RV
  • The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Platform Bike Rack # HLY84FR is the bike rack you need. It is specifically made to carry 2 electric bikes weighing up to 80lbs a piece. I did confirm that the max tire width allowed on this carrier is 5", so it will fit your 4" wide tires just fine. This is built to withstand the excess bouncing and vibration that is caused from an RV/Motorhome. It is made for a 2" hitch receiver. I have attached a demonstration video for this bike rack.

  • Solar Panel Options for 2021 Prism 24FS
  • When installing solar panels and building a battery bank the location of battery bank is dependent on size, quantity and dimensions of batteries used, as well as available space for application. How they are wired is dependent on if you want a 12V or 24V system, and again what specific battery and quantity is selected. The Go Power Solar AE-6 All Electric System with 2 MPPT Solar Controllers,1,140 Watt Solar Panels, # 342-75011 is a large system. The panels have a foot print of 59-1/8"...

  • Bearing Kit for 3500-lb Dexter Axle on 2018 Catalina Trail Blazer TH26
  • An axle's weight rating tells us a lot about the bearings it is likely to use and a 3500-lb Dexter axle typically uses inner bearing # L68149, outer bearing # L44649 and seal # 58846 which has an inner diameter of 1.719-inches and an outer diameter of 2.565-inches. By the way these components are offered together as kit # BK2-100 which also includes the races, tang washer and cotter pin. If you pull one hub and can confirm the outer bearing is # L44649 then you can confidently use bearing...

  • Weight Distribution and Sway Control Recommendation for Travel Trailer that Weigh 5,700 lb
  • 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. For a tongue weight of 740 lbs the...

  • How Tight Should the Bolts in the MORryde Upgrade Kits be Tightened Too?
  • Though it will depend on which specific kit you decide to go with, I can definitely give you an example. The MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers - 3-1/8" Long Shackle Straps # MR76ZR will come with all wet bolts. All of the bolts/nuts will need to be torqued to 50 ft.-lbs, as per the instructions. Again, the correct torque may depend on the specific kit you go with, but typically the rating should be listed in the instructions. If they are not, however, let me know...

  • Could RockyMounts AfterParty Swing Away Work on Ford Transit and Clear
  • I wish we had ability to do that but we haven't had the chance to do so and we don't have a vehicle nearby we could just grab. Unless the hitch of your Transit van is really far recessed under our rear bumper or your bikes have abnormally long handlebars I do not see how the RockyMounts AfterParty Swing Away Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # RKY37ZR wouldn't work for you though. It has a solid amount of clearance from the hitch pin hole to the nearest bike tray center.

  • I'm not totally sure what size you need but if it's a 225/75R15 you'd want the part # AM10303. This is a load range E tire and would definitely meet your needs if the size is correct.

  • How to Find the Correct Landing Gear Lead Leg Replacement for my 2000 Coachman Catalina 5th Wheel
  • We do have something for you. I was able to locate the owners manual for your 2000 Coachman Catalina 5th wheel, which told me that Lippert is the partner they use for their landing gear. Unfortunately they do not tell you what system exactly is used or measurements, this is not uncommon as they do not always use the same system for everything. It often comes down to availability. Landing gear jacks are often interchangeable with each other so you would need to look at the bracket stop...

  • Recommendation for Replacing Glo-Brite 8511 Tail Lights on Lance Slide In Camper
  • I looked up pictures of your 8511 Glo-Brite incandescent lights, and found that they are 9-1/4 square tail lights. The closest light we have is going to be the Jeep-Style Trailer Combination Tail Light # ST60RB. It's has the same 4 functions as your Glo-Brite light (stop, tail, turn, backup), and an additional license plate light at the bottom, for a total of 5 functions. It features the same red and clear lens, so it's going to look very similar. The # ST60RB, however, is slightly smaller,...

  • Replacing 15-Tooth Gear on Lippert Slide-Out Gear Pack
  • Replacing the 15-Tooth Gear # LC101941 on your existing slide-out gear pack isn't too difficult at all. Once you access the gear pack (make sure to safely support the slide-out room) it is just a matter of knocking out one of the pins that hold the gear and rollers into place. With the pin removed the rollers and gears will slide right off and you can replace the gear with the new unit.

  • Which Tow Dolly Will be The Best Option for a 2016 Chrysler Town & Country?
  • With a 2016 Chrysler Town & Country having a curb weight of 4,652 pounds, I suggest going with the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes - Foldable - 4,800 lbs # DM9713045. This will handle your weight capacity, but you will need to make sure your wheels are between 42 inches and 76 inches apart. One of the big pluses is the disc brakes that are included with the # DM9713045. Disc brakes provide more consistent stopping power and shorter stopping distance than drum brakes, making...

  • Will Global Link RV Entry Door Kit Be Easier to Open and Close than Older Latch on RV
  • Yes, going to a new lock/latch for your RV entry door like the part # 295-000019 will be a great solution. Your latch does sound like it's worn out or possibly damaged which is making it hard to use but this replacement will be easy to use and won't require constant lubrication.

  • Can The Valterra Double Waste Valve Hub Replace Current Valves On A 2010 Coachmen Freedom Trailer
  • Yes, you could just simply swap out to the Double RV Waste Valves - Sewer Wye - 3" Fixed Hub and 1-1/2" Rotating Hub # T38. You will probably find it is put together with some ABS solvent cement # A05-0303 which will require you to cut the old pipes. I recommend keeping the cut as close to the valve connection as possible and then you won't have to add on additional pipes to add length.
