• Complete Manual Awning Options For Class A Motorhome
• It is possible there is an option for your Coachmen Class A motorhome for a complete manual awning, but it is going to depend on some measurements you need to take as there isn't any one specific awning for any specific RV. To install an awning, for the brackets you will need 78" of space straight down on your motorhome's wall, and these will be at the very edges of the roller tube. There are three widths available: - 16': Solera Destination Manual RV Awning # LCV000334818-334719 -...

• Will the etrailer Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier Work with Motorhome Wheels
• I do have an option for you but most hitch mounted spare tire carriers like the etrailer Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier part # e98ZR aren't rated for motorhome wheels/tires. The main issue is that the mounting system won't accommodate wheels with large bolt patterns like 8 on 6-1/2" so instead you will need to use a carrier designed for this exact purpose, the Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier part # RM-195225.

• How To Determine The Correct Replacement Slide Out Wiper Seal For A 2015 Coachmen Apex 215RBK
• To get right seal you'll need to remove a portion of the seal to get the side profile of your current seal. There are multiple types of applications for slide-out seals; Glue On, Peel-N-Stick, Press In, Push On, and Slide-On. There are multiple styles and measurements the seals; some come with a bulb, some don't. For example the Rubber Wiper Seal with Track for RV Slide Out - Stick On - 15' Long x 2-1/2" Wide # SR47FR you were looking at will come with an adhesive strip and is a stick...

• Will the Ultra-Fab 2" Motor Home Trailer Hitch Receiver Work for Motorhome Tire Carrier
• The Ultra-Fab 2" Motor Home Trailer Hitch Receiver for 4" x 4" Bumpers part # UF35-946401 has a 200 lb weight capacity so as long as the weight of the spare tire carrier and spare wheel/tire do not exceed this you will be good. That said, you also need to take the bumper's weight capacity into consideration and abide by the lowest rated component. There isn't any reason you couldn't use this for a motorhome wheel/tire so long as you be mindful of your capacity.

• Is There a Front Trailer Hitch Receiver Available For a 2020 Coachmen Pursuit on Ford F-53 Chassis?
• You will need to have a custom receiver fabricated using the Curt Weld-On Receiver # E17. There is not a front receiver available for your 2020 Coachmen Pursuit 27XPS on the Ford F-53 chassis. This has to do with the chassis being a blank slate for several different vehicle manufacturers.

• Best E-Bike Carrier For An RV
• The Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack # HLY64FR is a platform style bike rack and is capable of carrying your bikes. It has a 80 lb capacity per bike which is crazy strong! It is RV approved and can handle wheelbases up to 60 inches. So this is perfect for your situation. The wheel cradles keep the bike in place and are adjustable so it'll fit your bike perfectly. It also has a strap for the frame which really makes it solid when you're driving down the road. Watch my review video to see...

• How Much Space is Needed For the Installation Hardware of Lippert Components Tailgate Storage System
• The Installation Hardware for Lippert Components Tailgate Storage System # LC373965 requires 4" of space between the bumper and trailer. If you do not have this much space then you will need to find a way to extend your bumper out or have a set of custom brackets made, but we do not have any hardware brackets that fit with only 1" of space between the trailer and bumper.

• TireMinder Smart TPMS Compatible With Cat's Eye TPMS
• I spoke with Minder, and they informed me that the TireMinder Smart TPMS for RVs # TPMS-APP-4 is not compatible with your Cat's Eye TPMS. The TireMinder comes with external transmitters that go on the valve stems that will allow the system to communicate with itself which would conflict with the Cat's Eye system. You would need to install the TireMinder # TPMS-APP-4 by itself if you would like to use this system. You would need to install a sensor cap per tire to get an accurate reading...

• Replacement Brake Assemblies For a 2016 Coachmen Freedom Express 246RKS With 3,500LB Axles
• To determine exactly what brakes were installed on the axles underneath your 2016 Coachmen Freedom Express 246RKS I will need to see the axle tag information on the back of the axles. The only thing I can see is you have 3,500lb axles under it from the factory. If they are Dexter axles then you will likely have either their Standard Brake Kit # 23-26-27 or the upgraded Self-Adjusting Brake Kit # 23-468-469. Each kit contains a left and a right brake assembly for one axle. The self-adjusting...

• Upgraded RV Entry Steps For 5TH Wheel 40" To Floor With Only 1/8" From Bottom Of Door To Threshold
• I recommend installing the TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps # TLA8004 on your 5th wheel. Due to the low threshold size and only having 1/8" from the bottom of your door to the top of the threshold you will not be able to use a fold in step like the MORryde # MR28RR. I actually prefer the TorkLift as it keeps any dirt tracked on the steps outside your 5th wheel when folded up. The steps do go all the way to the ground when you pull them out providing for a solid feel. The steps...

• Is Voyager WiSight Backup Camera System Compatible with 2020 Chevy Silverado
• Since the newer model pickups tend to have problems recognizing the Voyager WiSight # ASA24YR you'll likely need to use an adapter like part # FR87PR. What this Furrion adapter does is draw more power so that the truck can recognize and send power back for the camera. Another more permanent solution is to splice the PWM Filter # VGR64VR behind the camera to provide steady current for proper operation.

• Best Storage Cover for a 2006 Coachmen Concord Motorhome 255
• According to my contact at Coachmen, your 2006 Coachmen Concord Motorhome 255 is 23' 8" long x 7' 9" wide x 10' 3" tall. The storage cover we have that is closest to these dimension is the Adco SFS AquaShed Cover for Class C Motorhome part # 290-52843. The Adco SFS AquaShed Cover fits RV's that are up to 26' long x 8' 6" wide x 9' 3" tall. As long as you do not have more than 110" from the bottom of the cab to the top of your A/C vent, the cover will extend down the entire side of the...

• Comparing The Progressive Dynamics PD9130LV And PD49RR Converters
• Since the Progressive Dynamics 9300 Series RV Converter Charger # PD49RR can work with both lead acid and lithium batteries it's going to be the better option over the Progressive Dynamics 9100 Inteli-Power Lithium Converter # PD9130LV, which is only lithium compatible. If you wait to buy the lithium batteries or decide later on you want to switch back to lead acid you won't have to purchase a new converter in order to be compatible.

• Correct Size Slide-Topper for 70" Long Slide-Out
• I checked with Lippert and the correct Solera RV Slide-Out Awning for a 70" slide-out is part # LCV000165063 for black and part # LCV000163279 for white. The next size up won't work as the extension rods would not reach the hex brackets. The awning fabric just needs to cover the slide-out per Lippets latest instructions for awning selection, a few inches over would be ideal.

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For A 2021 Coachmen Spirit Ultra Lite Travel Trailer
• To verify if the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs # C13704 is going to work with your trailer you'll just need to measure the distance from between the frame rails on your 2021 Coachmen Spirit Ultra Lite Travel Trailer. If you have a frame width of 22" - 66" then this trailer hitch will fit. If you end up having a larger distance then you can use the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs # 13703, which fits frame widths 22" - 72". This hitch does only have a 350lb...

• Correct Bearing Kit For Lippert 5,200 lb Axles on Coachmen Travel Trailer
• I can tell you exactly what bearing kit you need for your Coachmen travel trailer, and what it has are 5,200 lb axles (there are not 5,400 lb or 3,200 lb axles for trailers). I verified with Lippert their 5,200 lb axles use bearings # 25580 and # LM67048. The complete bearing kit is the following: - Bearing Kit # BK3-300 The # BK3-300 includes the bearings, races, grease seal, and cotter pin for one hub. And if you need grease, I recommend the LubriMatic # L11390, and Bearing Packer #...

• Shock Absorber Kit That Will Work on Single Axle Trailer With 3 Inch Diameter Axle
• We do have a shock kit that will work for your 2022 Jayco Jay Flight with a 3" diameter single axle; it is technically called an add-on kit for Roadmaster's Comfort Ride shocks but can be used for a single axle trailer, which Roadmaster has verified for us. The correct part is the following: - Roadmaster Comfort Ride Add-On Kit # RM-2460-50 The # RM-2460-50 says it is for 5,200 lb to 7,000 lb axles, but it is really for 3" diameter axles - it's just that the most common 3" diameter axles...

• Is My 2021 Coachmen Chaparral 25RE 5TH Wheel Camper Pre-Wired For a Furrion Vision S Camera System?
• It does appear your 2021 Coachmen Chaparral 25RE is prewired for the Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System # FOS43TASF. I do warn as I have often seen it before to setup the connection in your vehicle by connecting the camera to the outlet on the monitor charge cable. This will allow you to more easily pair the units together. Also your trailers running lights are what provide power to the monitor so make sure they are one by switching your headlights on. And finally if the...

• 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 Replacement Rooftop AC Unit For A 2000 Coachmen Catalina Motorhome
• There isn't a guide to tell us what your 2000 Coachmen Catalina currently has on it but we can certainly replace the rooftop unit of your air conditioning system. The most common BTU ratings for RV Air conditioners are 13,500 BTU's or 15,000 BTU's so for the best you'll want to go with a 15,000 BTU option. From there we'll just need to know what style plug your current unit has on its wire harness. The connector will either be 6-pin or 9-pin and can be found by removing the cover of the...
