  • RV 2-Handle Faucet in White
  • We have numerous faucets in white though not an exact match for # 277-000087. I have included a link to the white, dual-handle faucets that we have. Some are kitchen faucets, some are for bath tubs, and some are for bathroom sinks. We have a few additional items with a single handle such as # PF232221 for a bathroom sink faucet, # PF231241 for a kitchen faucet, and # PF231221 which is also for a kitchen faucet.

  • Roadmaster Invisibrake for 2021 Ford Escape Hybrid Titanium
  • Nope, you can use the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System, # RM-8700 with a 2021 Ford Escape Hybrid Titanium. I contacted the Tech Rep at Roadmaster to verify this for you. The Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Supplemental Braking System, # RM-9400 is currently their only supplemental braking system that can not be used on a hybrid vehicle or a car with active power-assist brakes. Please note the attached product review and installation videos.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter - 1-1/4 to 2 for a 2010 escape
  • There are adapters available to increase a 1-1/4" to 2" hitch, the Curt Adapter - 1-1/4" to 2" - 6", # C45785. This adapter turns your 1-1/4" trailer hitch receiver into a 2" receiver so that you can mount a bike rack, cargo carrier or other 2" hitch accessory. Using this adapter will however reduce your hitch's weight capacity by 50 percent. Please verify the specs for your current hitch. If for example you have the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver (our lowest weight rated for example)...

  • The two hitch receiver sizes that fit on a 2012 Ford Escape are 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch. We carry hitch covers that fit both sizes. I am including a link to a few of the Ford branded hitch covers in both sizes. We offer the Brophy Hitch Adapter, part # HTAD, that will adapt a 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver size to a 2 inch hitch receiver size. With this adapter installed in your 1-1/4 inch hitch it will allow you to use 2 inch hitch covers. You will not want to tow using the # HTAD adapter,...

  • Class II Hitches Available for 2014 Ford Escape
  • Draw-Tite offers a very similar hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver, part # 36524. If you would prefer a Class II hitch that would be less visible at the rear of the vehicle, you might be interested in the # 36529 or the # 90230 that includes a drawbar. If you will be towing, you will also need the trailer wiring harness, part # 118566 and the appropriately-sized trailer ball, # 19256 for a 1-/78 inch ball or # 19258 for a 2 inch ball. I have linked you to some installation videos you...

  • Draw Tite Hitch That Fits 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid
  • Yes, the Draw Tite hitch part # DR47FR is a confirmed fit for the hybrid models of the 2020 Ford Escape like what you have. This would fit and work great! For trailer wiring you'd then want the Tekonsha kit part # TE54FR for an easy to install and reliable option. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes...

  • Recommended Clip-On Towing Mirrors for 2003 Ford Escape
  • For some vehicles we offer custom-fit towing mirrors like the CIPA # CM11800 that fit the Ford F-150, but for your 2003 Escape since no custom mirrors are offered you can use a cost-effective clip-on universal towing mirror. K-Source offers their # KS3891 which is an extra-large adjustable clip-on mirror. CIPA also offers a high-value mirror # 7070. Both of these work on driver's and passenger's mirrors and are sold individually. A video for each mirror is linked to help illustrate their...

  • Are Front Hitches for the 2014 Ford Escape Available
  • I may have a solution for you, but there are not any custom fit hitches designed to fit on the 2014 Ford Escape. However, depending on the front frame access on your vehicle, you may be able to mount a universal hitch like the Ultra-Fab 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # UF35-946403, which would fit on I-beam, C-channel or rectangular trailer frames between 47-1/8" and 77" wide. This hitch would need to be welded on to the frame, but it would be the only available option for your 2014 Ford Escape. I've...

  • Are There Clip-On Tow Mirrors Available for a 2010 Ford Escape
  • I recommend using a universal fit towing mirror. A custom fit mirror is not yet available for your 2010 Ford Escape. Instead, I would use the Universal Clip-On Towing Mirror (Each), # KS3891. This mirror straps to your existing mirror housing and will not interfere with the visibility of the factory mirror. I have included a link to a video review of this mirror below. You might also be interested in the CIPA Deluxe Door Mount Mirror, # 11650. This is also a universal fit item that mounts...

  • Availability of Class II Weight Distribution Hitch on 2012 Ford Escape
  • Weight distribution cannot be used with a Class II trailer hitch. Class II trailer hitches are not built for or tested for use with weight distribution so manufacturers do not make any systems that will fit a Class II trailer hitch. What you can do is replace the Class II hitch with a Class III trailer hitch, like # 13650, for your 2012 Ford Escape. This hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 350 pounds so the 200 pound tongue weight. But be sure to consult your vehicle owners manual to...

  • Front Mud Flaps for a 2010 Ford Escape with Factory Installed Running Boards
  • You would need to use the Husk Liners mud flaps, # HL56661. These are the correct flaps for a 2012 Ford Escape with factory running boards. The running boards or tube steps both install on the rocker panel on the vehicle and these mud flaps accommodate that option on the Escape.

  • What Amp Breaker Should be Used When Installing Curt Echo Mobile Brake Controller
  • You should change your breaker to a 30 amp breaker when installing the Curt Echo Mobile # C51180. 40 amps is good for protecting more than two axles but if you have a tandem axle trailer you'd want the breaker to trip at draws above 30 amps so that it protects the wiring/circuits.

  • 7-Way and Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2012 Ford Escape with 4-Way
  • For your 2012 Ford Escape that has a 4-way wiring harness currently you would only need the part # ETBC7 plus a brake controller. The # ETBC7 comes with everything needed to convert the 4-way to a 7-way plus install a brake controller. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling proportional brake controller because of how well it works...

  • Are Tail Light Connectors Only Available By Themselves for Trailer Wiring on a 2013 Ford Escape
  • The connectors from any trailer wiring harness are not available by themselves. You could buy the harness and cut them off but if you were to buy it you might as well install that one and return the hardwire harness to the dealer. Or I could help you install the hardwire harness. It is actually pretty easy. You just need a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 to test the vehicle tail light wiring. On the driver side you will need to find the left turn signal wire and the running light wire....

  • Can Trailer Valet be Used If Snow is On Ground
  • That's hard to say but I would not anticipate the Trailer Valet 5X part # STC-V211 working well at all if there's snow on the driveway. If there's any type of incline it would be pretty dangerous as it could start sliding and potentially not be able to stop. I would advise against it but you'd have to use your best judgment.

  • Height of Base Plate Mounting on 2020 Escape Hybrid
  • We can help with this. While we do not have a 2020 Ford Escape available for measuring the height of an installed Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit, # RM39FR, I have attached an image of a 2020 Ford Escape that has had this item installed so as to provide a visual reference for you to know where you should measure. I think the needed solution to your issue is that you need to use a high-low adapter on your motorhome. When your towed vehicle is connected, the tow bar should...
