  • How to Determine If Trailer Has Self-Adjusting or Manual-Adjust Brakes
  • The only way to tell if you have self-adjusting brakes or manual-adjust brakes is to look at the brake assembly you have.

If that cable is not there you have a manual-adjust assembly like the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 12" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 5,200 lbs to 7,000 lbs...

  • Does The Everchill RV Refrigerator Need To Be Taken Out To Clean The Drain Line
  • To get access to the drain line and drip pan you would need to get to the back of your Everchill RV Refrigerator w/ Freezer # 324-000119 so you would at minimum need to pull it out far enough to get behind it. You'll want to make sure that you disconnect your wiring in the back just to be safe.

  • How Comfortable Is The Denver Mattress Supreme Hybrid RV Mattress # DE64RR
  • The Denver Mattress Supreme Hybrid RV Mattress w/ Euro Top # DE64RR weighs approximately 54lbs. From my experience the stock mattresses on RV's are terrible and would leave me hobbling around for the day like and old man with how much they hurt my back. This mattress is going to offer you much better support with the individually wrapped pocket coils and additional Serene foam base layer to help support the pocket coils. The Euro top design and Serene foam material is going to offer you...

  • We do not recommend to modify the Surco Universal Exterior RV Ladder # SP502L to fit your camper as it may compromise the structural integrity of the ladder. However, if you choose too, you should be aware that the steps are welded to the frame of the ladder and are not able to be repositioned.

  • Can Equal-i-zer EQ37100ET Weight Distribution System Be Used Without Spring Bars
  • You can absolutely use the Equal-i-zer # EQ37100ET without the spring bars installed. It'll be just like towing with a standard ball mount, no different. The # EQ37100ET is rated for trailers with fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weights ranging from 600-1000 lbs (this figure should also include anything stowed in the bed or cargo area of the tow vehicle behind its rear axle). The system includes the 2-5/16 inch trailer ball, but you'll need a 1-7/8 inch thin walled socket to install...

  • Will Two of Lippert Components Bolt-On Shock Kit on Tandem Axle 5th Wheel Trailer Improve Ride
  • It sounds like you have shocks like the Lippert Components Bolt-On Shock Kit # LC281281 on just one of the axles of your tandem axle trailer. If that is the case, adding a kit to each axle will absolutely help improve the ride of your 5th wheel trailer. Putting this kit on both axles is going to allow for more absorption of vibration and road shock than having shocks on one axle; it will absolutely give you a more comfortable ride compared to what you have now. I have added a link below...

  • Can Ark Drop Down Stabilizers Be Extended And Retracted With A Power Drill
  • Yes, the Ark Drop Down Corner RV Stabilizer Jacks # ARK94FR are definitely an upgrade over standard trailer stabilizers. The drop down feature makes it a lot quicker to get the jacks up and tucked out of the way so they don't catch when the trailer has limited ground clearance, unlike standard stabilizers. When it comes to stabilizers using a drill is also a no-no since you can strip out the gears and render the stabilizer useless. That being said, as long as you use a standard drill (no...

  • Is The Charge From The Tow Vehicle Alternator Something To Worry About With Lithium Batteries
  • The 12v accessory pin from the 7-way would need to be connected to the battery in order to charge it so you'd first need to make sure it was actually wired that way since not every manufacturer does. That being said the trickle charge coming from the 7-way wouldn't be anything to worry about since it wouldn't send a high enough voltage to fully charge a lithium battery. If you were wanting to make sure that the trailer battery was being charged while on the road then you could use a DC...

  • Does Provider Trailer Tire and Wheel Come Ready to Put On Trailer
  • The Provider ST225/75R15 Radial Tire w 15" Viking Aluminum Wheel # A225R6FPS does come ready to put on your trailer, though they do not come balanced like you would see with an automotive tire. Although you can have them balanced if you like, it is not necessary because a trailer is tracking behind a vehicle so they are going to have a much rougher, bouncier ride and balancing trailer tires would not be noticeable. I've added a link to a video review of this tire and wheel combo for...

  • What Would Cause My Trailer Wheels To Wear On Outside and Inside Of Tire
  • If the outside and the inside of your tires are wearing out but the middle is not indicates that your tires are not inflated to the correct psi rating.
