• How to Tell if Demco Recon Will Have Clearance for 2016 Ford F-450 with 9 ft Flatbed
• The Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter for Recessed Ball # DM8550046 sits in a fixed location right above the gooseneck hitch ball so you'll need to measure from where your gooseneck hitch ball sits to where the 5th wheel body starts to determine if a setup like this will work with your 2016 Ford F-450. An easy way to test clearance is to back your truck up so the gooseneck hitch ball is directly under the king pin on the trailer. Unfortunately flat bed trucks are...

• Parts Needed to Install Tekonsha Primus IQ Brake Controller on RV with Ford F53 Chassis
• The Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller # TK90160 is a great choice for sending power to and controlling your trailer's brakes from your RV. It is a proportional brake controller which means it will activate the trailer's brakes at the same time and with the same intensity that you apply to them in your RV. This is compatible with the Ford F-53 chassis. I recommend adding the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3035-P for easy installation. Because you have the built-in connector...

• Will Draw-Tite Front Mount Hitch Fit 2023 Conquest Class C on E-450 Chassis
• The Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65053 is confirmed to fit the 2015-2021 E-Series Cutaway E-450. As of July 2023, we have not had a chance to test this to confirm if it will fit the 2022 (your 2023 Conquest would be built on the 2022 model). Draw-Tite also does not list this as a fit, but they're further behind than we are since they only show it up through 2017. However, given the amount of other parts that carried over to the 2022, it is very likely it will work. What...

• Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2020 Ford F-450 Cab and Chassis Work Truck
• The Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65049 is confirmed to fit your 2020 Ford F-450 cab and chassis. It has different mounting points than the Draw-Tite Receiver # 65076 that you were looking at. I recommend keeping either a Cover # 63080 or Step # WT81BS1XL in the receiver to eliminate the whistle from the wind front receivers will often create. The step is great as it allows you to easily access under the hood if you do your own service work or run into issues on the road.

• Recommended Valve Stem Extenders for E-450 Super Duty Chassis
• The 135 degree hoses are not offered separately from the Wheel Masters 4-Hose Inflation Kit unfortunately. I wish I could tell you exactly what you need but these are not vehicle specific parts, they are universal therefore up to the installer to determine compatibility. That said, the Wheel Masters 4-Hose Inflation Kit part # WM8001-135 is pretty common for dual axle motorhomes so they should work for you as well. They are compatible with TPMS.

• Floor Mats For the 2018 Ford F-450 Cab and Chassis
• I have a contact over at Husky Liners, and he and I discussed this issue, such as the fact that you had vinyl flooring we recommend the Husky Liners Classic Custom Auto Floor Liners. They make them for the Ford F-450 and they are a fit for the 2018 E-Series Cutaway. The reason why Husky Liners Classic Floor Liners # HL33251 may not work is because, when a Class C motorhome is built on a Ford chassis it is going to be a E-series. When its converted to a motorhome there may be changes...
