Expert Answers about Ford E-Series Cutaway


  • Installing Lippert Spare Tire Winch with Cable
  • There aren't any instructions for just the Lippert Components Spare Tire Winch with Offset Cable # LC159056 at all, but you will need to find a way to bolt it onto the underside of your RV frame; the mounting holes are 5-1/4" apart on center and I have added a photo from a customer which shows how they did it on their trailer. There are instructions for the RV Spare Tire Carrier with Winch - 71" Overall Width # LC159041, which I have linked for you that will require you bolt to your chassis....

  • Installing Trailer Brake Controller on 2015 Thor Axis Motorhome
  • As long as your 2015 Thor Axis (which was built on the Ford E-350 or E-450 chassis) features a factory 4-Way or 7-Way connector at the rear then there will be a factory port behind the dash that will connect to the Plug-In Adapter # 3034-P. This port is specifically located behind the access panel in the center of the dash. You will need to carefully pry this panel out and undo the locking tabs that are keeping it in place. The mating connector to the Wiring Adapter will be behind this...

  • Brake Controller Connection Port Location on 2016 Ford E-450 RV Cutaway
  • If the Ford E-450 cutaway chassis your Class C is built on has a factory 7-way trailer connector it should also have a connection port for a trailer brake controller. You should find this behind the small dash panel shown in the linked photo. The brake controller harness you referenced, part # 3034-P, will work for any Tekonsha or Draw-Tite trailer brake controller, including popular options like the Prodigy P3 # 90195, the P2 # 90885 and the Primus IQ # TK90160. If it turns out your 7-way...

  • Adding Furrion Vision S Wireless Camera System to Existing Back-Up Camera
  • What I think you are asking is if you can install a new Furrion Vision S Wireless Camera System, # FCE48TASL-05 that has side marker lights, and a backup camera with a 5" screen can you also pair the currently installed camera with all being viewed on the same 5" screen. As long as the currently installed camera is Furrion "S" (being on a 2020 model RV from OEM it probably is) yes you can do so. I contacted Furrion to inquire about wireless cameras being paired to two devices at the same...

  • Can 30 Inch Furrion Electric Fireplace be Mounted in a Walll
  • Yes, you can absolutely mount the 30" Furrion RV Electric Fireplace with Logs # F30SW15ABL in a wall. It does not need to be a cabinet cut out; so long as you have the appropriate wall cut out space of 26-1/4" wide x 16-1/4" tall x 5" deep this will work as a wall-mounted unit. I have added a link below to a video review for you as well of the 30" Furrion RV Electric Fireplace with Logs # F30SW15ABL.

  • Can The Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41990-07 Be Installed With Bolts?
  • Yes, the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41990-07 can be bolted on rather than welding. This will require you to drill the appropriate 5/8" bolt holes in your frame. You must install at least 4 bolts in each side of the frame with the top 2 holes being mandatory holes that must be used and allowing for you to choose 2 of the bottom 3 holes for the remaining 2 holes. You will need to supply your own grade 5 or stronger bolts as these are not included with the...

  • RV Brake Controller Port Location on 2016 Ford E-450 Cutaway Chassis
  • Sometimes RV makers may need to relocate a brake controller connection port from the OEM location (behind the coin tray) to another nearby spot in order to accommodate new interior structures they install as part of the RV conversion. When we installed a controller on a 2008 E-450 the connector was located behind the hood release, up near the firewall. In a 2011 model year we found the port behind the door that is pointed out by the screwdriver in the attached photo. Often you can get...

  • How to Install Tekonsha P3 Trailer Brake Controller on Thor Vegas Class A Motorhome
  • The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 referenced in your question can definitely still be installed on your Thor Vegas Class A Motorhome, even though it does not have the factory plug and play harness installed. Based on my research, it looks like your motorhome is built on a Ford E-450 chassis. As you have already found out, we have been told that Thor has removed the dash and the Ford installed electrical connections that would have allowed for the brake controller...

  • Torque Ratings for Front Anti-Sway Bar on 2019 Ford E-Series Van Cutaway Chassis
  • When Roadmaster refers to a 10 and a 14 mm bolt, they're referring to the diameter of the threaded portion of the bolt, not the size of the bolt head or the size wrench needed to install or remove the bolt. If you measure the diameter of the bolts you found, I'm confident you'll find that the diameters match what's referred to in the instructions, which means you'll want to observe the torque figures mentioned in the instructions. I've linked to a video showing a typical installation.

  • Is Front-Mounted Trailer Hitch for 2018 Ford E-450 a Bolt-On Installation
  • I can tell you definitively that the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65053 is a direct bolt-on installation for a 2018 Ford E-450. This hitch is not welded on, and no holes will need to be drilled in your frame; you will only need to enlarge one of the holes and trim the front fascia. I have added a link to a video install for you to check out as well of the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65053.

  • Will The JR Products Mushroom Vent # 37202-29115 Work In A Vertical Wall Application
  • The JR Products Mushroom Vent # 37202-29115 will do a great job keeping out water in a horizontal application. In the vertical position, the mushroom lid would not keep out water as intended, and it would likely admit water into the interior of the vehicle. Also in a vertical application, especially the side of a camper, crosswinds may cause the lid to come loose from the base much too easily. Instead I suggest you take a look at the 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2, as...

  • Can Two Maxx Air 7500 Roof Vents be Installed in RV without Remote Interference
  • You'd be fine using two of the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan, Thermostat, and Remote # MA00-07500K in your RV and not have to worry about one remote operating both fans. These require a clear line of sight from the remote to the fan so only the fan in the room would operate. There are a few ways people install roof vents like this. Butyl tape can be used but we recommend using a Urethane sealant like what the Installation Kit # 344270KITW has as we've found it works really well and...

  • Brake Controller Solution for 2015 Ford Four Winds Majestic with Factory 4-Way
  • To install a brake controller in your 2015 Four Winds Majesty will require a brake controller like the BRAKE-EVN part # TK63VR, the install harness # 3034-P and the 4-way to 7-way adapter part # 37185. The # 37185 plugs in to your current 4-way and then from the blue wire of it you'd run a length of 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 which is sold by the foot up to the blue wire of the brake controller. The black wire of the adapter runs up to the positive post of your battery with 10...

  • Installation of SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs SSF-106-47 on 2017 Ford E-450
  • When installing the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSF-106-47 you simply need to ensure you use jack stands to support your 2017 Ford E-450's frame so the front suspension hangs freely. It is not recommended or necessary to use Loc-Tite when installing these springs. You will only need to thread the stud on the springs into the mounting location. I have attached links to both the installation instructions and a video of these springs being installed on a '17 E-Series for you...

  • Determining if RV Motorhome Lug Nuts are Covers When Trying to Remove Wheel
  • Are you sure your wheels have lug covers on them? If you can see a flange around the base of the lug they are most likely the covers which is what the part # WM8211 is designed to remove. If there is no flange and you tap them with something metal and they sound solid and not like a thinner cover then you are most likely dealing with the actual lug nuts. In the picture I attached you can see a flange around the lug in the picture. I also attached a review video for these lug pliers for...

  • Brake Controller Connector Location-2017 Ford E-Series Van Cutaway Chassis
  • I spoke with my technical contact at Tekonsha, who tells me that he isn't aware of any other spot where the brake controller connector would be located. Every Ford E-Series van or van cutaway chassis they've dealt with has had the brake controller connector clipped to the back of the storage pocket above the radio and HVAC controls. It's possible that the connector might have came unclipped from the back of the storage pocket, so I'd recommend reaching back in there to see if you can find...
