  • Will the Firestone Air Bags for a 2014 Ford F-350 Work with a 60 Gallon Tank
  • I have attached for you below a photo from the installation instructions of the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2597 which is a fit for a 2014 Ford F-350. In this photo, you can see exactly how the brackets attach to the frame.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2003 Ford E-450 Cab and Chassis
  • The best option we have for a 2003 Ford E-450 Cab and Chassis is the B&W Heavy-Duty Trailer Hitch Receiver part # BWHDRH25198 which has a 1,600 lb tongue weight capacity so it will be plenty for your needs. That said, there are no exact fit trailer hitches for a motorhome so what you need to do is make sure the body doesn't hang down more than 5" below the bottom of the frame and that the frame rails are 34" apart outside to outside.

  • The B&W Companion Flatbed Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BWRVK3050 can attach to a B and W Gooseneck hitch that is installed in a standard truck bed like what you have but you should not this has a fixed height that is lower than usual at 10-1/2 inches.

  • Will Hopkins 7 Way Blade to 7 Way Round Adapter # 47595 Work with 2001 Ford F-350 and Camper
  • Based on the information you have provided, I see no reason why the Hopkins 7 Way Blade to 7 Way Round Adapter # 47595 would not work. Another option would be to remove the 7-way round pin connector from your camper and replacing it with the Hopkins Endurance 7-Way Trailer Connect # HM48500. The mounting bracket, hardware, and grease packet are included and I have provided a link to the installation instructions for this product as well. Regarding your question about a cover for your...

  • Individual Slide Motor Switch Compatibility with 3 Slide Outs on 2004 Keystone Challenger
  • Thu number of switches you can use depends on the number of motors. It sounds like you only have the option of one switch because a single motor activates all three. If I misunderstood and each slide has its own motor and hydraulic actuator, then you can use Triple Bezel RV Switch Faceplate - White # 37213625 along with the Single RV Switch - On/Off/On - SPDT - Polar White # 37213435. Then I recommend using # 10-1-1 wire to connect to the circuit breaker or battery and # 10-2-1 wire...

  • Trailer Brake Fuse Location in 2014 Ford F-350
  • After taking a look in the owner's manual for the 2014 Ford F-350 the trailer brake fuse is located in the power distribution box in the engine compartment. The fuse location is 22 and it is a 30 amp fuse. You may want to match this information to your particular copy of the owner's manual because this is what I found on line.

  • How To Determine The Model Number Of Your Coleman Mach AC System For Replacement
  • The rooftop condenser unit will have a tag on it under the shroud which will give you the model/serial numbers of the system.

  • Currently the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57345 is the only kit available for the rear suspension on your 2012 Ford F-450 cab and chassis truck. There is not a 7,500lb kit available from Air Lift or Firestone available.

  • Recommended Sway Bar For A 2005 Pleasure-Way Excel on a Ford E-350 Chassis
  • With your 2005 Pleasure-Way Excel being a Class B motorhome, we will only have the rear sway bar available. However, we do have the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSF-106-40 that will help supplement the front suspension if needed and will help with sway and body roll. I did also come up with the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # 1139-178 as a direct fit for your vehicle. This will definitely help minimize side-to-side movement and improve the overall stability of your vehicle. We...

  • Gooseneck Hitches Compatible With a 2012 Ford F-350 Cab and Chassis
  • You will need to use a universal hitch like either the B&W Turnoverball # BWGNRK1500 or Buyers Gooseneck Plate # 3373014981 on your 2012 Ford F-350 cab and chassis. The aftermarket manufacturers do not build a gooseneck kit specific to the cab and chassis as they are typically covered with either a flat bed, service bed or other aftermarket bed which all have different heights off the frame an are made from different materials. The B&W is a great option as it allow for versatility by...

  • Front Hitch Needed for a 2000 Ford E-450
  • The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 33055 that you referenced fits Ford Vans (up to an E-350), but since your Chateau is on a 2000 Ford E-450 you would need to go with the Draw-Tite # 65001. Installation instructions and a photo showing the mounting hole locations for the Curt option have been added for you to check out. I am doubtful that the Curt will fit but you can use the photo to check your vehicle for a fit.

  • etrailer Trailer Hitch Fitment on a 2007 Ford F-350 Cab and Chassis
  • Yes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e88AR is a fit for your 2007 Ford F-350 cab and chassis truck. I really like this hitch because of the durable matte black finish since it does a better job of protecting the hitch than the classic glossy black finish we see on the other hitches. If you don't already have wiring I recommend checking out the Tekonsha Universal Wiring Kit # 18252 and then wrapping up your towing setup with the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers #...

  • Can a Gooseneck Hitch Be Installed on a 2009 F-450 Cab and Chassis
  • The Curt Flat Plate Gooseneck # C65500 is a multi-fit application that can be used on a cab and chassis truck. Typically, the plate would be placed on top of the flat bed over the rear axle. The Universal Rail Kit, part # C61502 can be used to provide the under bed bracing. Holes would be drilled through the plate, through the bed and into the frame members and the rail kit. At least six 1/2 inch grade 5 bolts need to be used to fasten the plate to the rail kit. At this time there...

I have attached a review video and the install video you referenced.

  • The Adco SFS AquaShed Cover for Gooseneck Horse Trailer - 24-1/2' Long # 290-46011 does not cover the gooseneck coupler completely. The cover will wrap around the top of the coupler, but the bottom of the coupler will be exposed. I've attached a photo to assist.
