If you are experience excessive chucking the Reese Goose Box # RP94716-61301 is a great option because it has both an air bag and shock absorbers and is designed to heavily reduce the amount of back and forth shock (chucking) as well as up and down shock you are currently experiencing.
It also completely removes one of the other factors that could be coming into play, which is a hitch with a loose jaw system or a worn-down king pin. Either (or both) of these things could be a factor... view full answer...
The reason you need the Reese Universal Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP30439 along with the Reese Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP58386 is because the kit # RP58386 does not come with the adapter brackets needed for installation. Since this kit is considered "Semi-Custom", the brackets are required. view full answer...
I took a look at an online copy of an owner's manual for a 2005 Dodge Durango which stated,
"To determine the maximum loading conditions of yourvehicle, locate the statement 'The combined weight of
occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.' on the Tire and Loading Information placard. The combined weight of occupants, cargo/luggage and trailer tongue weight (if applicable) should never exceed the weight referenced here." Then on page 246 there are numerous steps you need... view full answer...
There are several ways to adapt a 5th wheel trailer to enable it to be towed with a truck that has a goose neck hitch installed. The best choice for you will depend on how often you need to change between trailer types. Some of the adapters that allow this flexibility will put more stress on the trailer frame than other types. Options are still somewhat limited for newer vehicles like your 2014 Ram.
The best method is to replace the pin box on your 5th wheel with a compatible goose box... view full answer...
I recommend installing a 4 way flat like the Hopkins Endurance, # HM48030, on the back of your RV. This will allow you to plug directly into the Roadmaster Universal Wiring Kit, # RM-154.
Since your RV is already wired for a trailer connector, you will not need to use the Roadmaster Brite-Lite Wiring Converter, # RM-732. view full answer...
In order to find the model number on the Furrion 2-in-1 Range Oven part # FSRE21SABL you will need to pull this out away from the cabinets and then look on the left hand side of the unit for a white sticker with barcode which should then display the model number. If you are in need of a replacement glass top, the Replacement Glass Top for Furrion 2-in-1 Range Oven part # C-FSRE21SA-SS-003 fits the FSRE17SABL, FSRE17SASS, FSRE21SABL, and FSRE21SASS.

You could use the 12-V feed from the trailer connector to maintain the house battery on your slide in camper, but due to the ~16 ga wire feeding that circuit, you'll be able to maintain the battery but won't be able to fully charge it once it's depleted, unless you use shore power and a charger like # 329-GENIUS10.
In order to deliver a full charge, I'd recommend using a DC to DC charger like # 331-BCDC1225D for 25A or # 331-BCDC1240D for a 40A charger.

That's a good question and the Edge Diesel Evolution CS2 Performance Tuner # EP85300 that works with your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 with a 5.9L diesel does in fact read the powertrain, body, chassis and future systems, though not all vehicles have those codes. Dodge, for example, has "P" and "U" as per the "Dodge Motor Company Group Diagnostic Trouble Codes" sheet from Edge, which I will forward you. view full answer...
There are minimum lighting requirements for trailers that vary based on trailer size and weight, but to our knowledge there are no maximum limits for trailer lights, provided that all the mandatory lighting is installed. We've recapped the federal requirements in the linked article which will give you specifics. I am sure there is a law enforcement officer out there somewhere that might pull over a motorist for having what he/she considers "excessive" trailer lighting, lighting that is... view full answer...
According to my contact at Edge Products their Edge EZ performance tuner for the Dodge Cummins, part # EP30204, does not have a specific trailer weight that makes its Stage 2 power level unsuitable. He advised that based on your familiarity and towing experience with your tow vehicle and trailer that you can make this determination largely based on your own judgement.

The Hopkins 12-Volt Socket Assembly, part # HM55125, is weatherproof construction, which means it will protect the contents from the rain and other bad weather conditions. It is not waterproof because to be considered as waterproof the socket would have to be submerged under water and have no leakage into the inside. view full answer...
The Stromberg Carlson # VGD-02-4000 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate would be the correct fit for your truck. The tailgate itself isn't paintable, but the available louver insert kit, part # 4000-V can be painted, which would give a pretty cool look. There is also an upper insert, part # VI-4000 that can be painted as well.

The manufacturer and model number of the pin box is usually printed on a sticker or stamped into a plate or directly into the metal of the pin box.
If you can't find that, the manufacturer of your 5th wheel should be able to tell you which pin box you have if you provide them with the VIN.
If you can't reach the manufacturer or they can't help for some reason, take a look at the FAQ article I've linked you to. The article shows you how to measure the spacing of the bolt holes in your... view full answer...
The Curt trailer wiring harness # 55323 and the TowReady harness # 118323 that you referenced both use the same 3-pole connectors as those shown in your photo. These connectors fit the taillights on your Dakota. They also fit various other models of Dodge, Chrysler, Plymouth and Mitsubishi. With these connectors inserted the vehicle lighting signals will reach the 4-pole trailer connector to power trailer lights.
According to my contacts at these companies the connectors are almost surely... view full answer...

The 3,200-Watt Portable RV Inverter Generator part # 333-0003 comes with a two year warranty. That said, we have had extremely positive reviews from these generators so it is unlikely you would ever need to use the warranty. We also have tons of replacement parts if anything were to happen outside of the warranty period as well.
In regards to repairs, the amount of time to complete this would largely vary based on the issue. The headquarters for Firman (manufacturer) is located in AZ so... view full answer...
In order to add electric brakes to your trailer there are a few things needed. I have attached a link to a helpful article that explains how to add electric brakes to a trailer an what is needed.
Some of the things you will need to know are the weight capacity of the axle(s), and if the axle has a brake mounting flange installed, similar to part # 4-35. If there is no brake mounting flange on the axle, you will need to have one welded on by a certified professional.

Weight distribution is recommended when your fully-loaded ready-to-tow trailer weighs more than half of your towing vehicle weight. Another reason is when the tail lights are pointed upward or the rear end of the towing vehicle is sagging.
One method for determining the tongue weight is to use a scale like part # 5780. This is the Sherline tongue weight scale and it has a 2,000-lb capacity.
As you add weight to your trailer like a generator or potable water, it will depend where the... view full answer...
