  • Which Trailer Wiring Harness for 2001 Ford E350 Econoline Van with Factory Tow Package Wiring
  • I have a solution for you, but the Tekonsha # 118243 you were looking at is for Super Duty trucks and will not fit an Econoline van. The correct replacement wiring harness for a 2001 Ford E350 Van with the factory tow package is the Reese Multi-Plug Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connectors # 74682. This harness comes with a 4 way and 7 way trailer plug to allow you to tow trailers with and without brakes. I've linked a short review video of this...

  • Does Roadmaster Have Front End Links to Replace Factory End Links in 2013 Ford E-450 Van
  • My technical contact at Roadmaster told me that the Roadmaster Sway Bar # RM-1139-176 that you referenced utilizes the factory end links in your 2013 Ford E-450 Van. They do not have separate front end links that can replace your factory ones at this time. The Roadmaster end link 590147-00 that you found is actually for the rear of the E-450 van and is not designed to use with a front end sway bar. The end link that you referenced measures 8.63 inches from center of the hole to the center...

  • Can I Use the Powerbuilt Unijack as a Stabilizer
  • I have a solution for you, but the Powerbuilt Unijack Bottle Jack, part # ALL620471 is only designed to be used when you need to work on a trailer or change a tire, and is not designed to be used as a stabilizer. If you're looking for a better way to stabilize your 1993 Tioga Montara 29z, I recommend having a look at the ARK Drop Down Corner RV Stabilizer Jacks # AR34FR, which have drop legs that extend up to 24". These are part of a great new product line that we picked up from Australia...

  • Proper Brake Controller Wiring Harness for a 2005 Class C Motor Home On a E Series Ford Chassis
  • Connecting a brake controller on your E series, van chassis, motor home can be done one of two ways. You can use the brake controller connector, item # 3035-S, to connect to the connector under the dash, if it is supplied, or you can hard wire the connector. From the pictures you sent it looks like the connector that is not in use could be the correct connector. The connector that is in use looks very similar also and is in the normal location that our installer said the connector should...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Trailer Towing Setup For A 2003 Ford E-250
  • For your 2003 Ford E-250, I recommend checking out the: -Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 14055. This is a class IV trailer hitch that has a maximum towing capacity of 10,000-lbs, with a maximum tongue weight capacity of 1,000-lbs, and will work great with your 2003 E-250.

If you're interested, check out the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness...

  • Correct Timbren Suspension Enhancement for the Front & Rear for a 2008 Jayco Melbourne 29D
  • For your 2008 Jayco Melbourne 29D motorhome, you'll want the Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System # TFEF350UH for the front and # TFERSD for the rear. If you decide to go with the AirLift 5000 Ultimate Air Springs, then you're going to want the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers # AL88242 with the air compressor kit # AL25592.

  • Parts Needed to Add a 7-Way Trailer Connector on a 2011 Ford E-250 Without a Tow Package
  • There is a T-One connector to fit your 2011 Ford E-250 for a 4-way. Use part # 118551. However, to add a 7-way you need to connect some wiring. Once you have the 4-way installed use our # ETBC7 kit to convert it to the 7-way and still keep your 4-way. The # ETBC7 plugs into your existing 4-way and also has the additional wires that are then run to your battery for 12 volt power, your van's reverse lights, and then to the cab to connect to an electric brake controller. Once installed...

  • Parts to Connect Vehicle 4-Pole and Trailer 7-Way and to Install Brake Controller in 2006 Ford Van
  • When you use an adapter to join a vehicle's 4-pole wiring to a trailer's 7-way wiring, an item like # 37185, only the basic lighting functions from the 4-pole setup will reach the trailer unless you make more circuit connections. Those additional functions are trailer brakes, reverse lights and 12V trailer power. Those extra circuit connections can be seen in the linked photo of 37185 which has pigtail leads for making those three additional functions. If you already have a 4-pole harness...

  • Installing a Brake Controller on a 2011 Ford E-350 Without Tow Package
  • If you don't have a tow package or a connector at the rear of your 2011 Ford E-350 then you will need to start off by installing a 4-Way. I recommend the Tekonsha T-One # 118551 which gives you basic trailer light functions and draws power directly from your battery. Depending on how you route the power wire to the battery you may need some additional wire with part # 12-1-1 and connectors with part # 05732-2. Once you have a 4-Way installed (or if you already have a 4-Way installed) you...

  • Adapting 2010 Ford E-350 With 4-Pole Wiring Harness to Tow Boat Trailer With 5-Pole Flat Connector
  • There are several ways to adapt your different tow vehicle and trailer connectors. The most cost-effective method to put a 5-pole flat connector on your vehicle is to use Hopkins 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter, part # 47515. Installation is simple and consists of connecting your existing 4-pole and making one single splice connection to the reverse light circuit at the back of the van. You can use a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 to confirm which wire carries the reverse light...

  • Difference Between Curt Hitch # 14053 and # 14055
  • The main difference is that Curt Hitch # 14053 during the installation process the spare tire will have to be lowered or removed temporarily. The Curt Hitch # 14055 does not require that step. Both hitches have a bolt on installation and have a gloss black powder coated finish that is over a protective base that offers superior rust resistance. Both hitches also have a 10,000 pound maximum gross trailer towing weight and 1,000 pounds maximum tongue weight. Out of the two I would recommend...

  • Recommended Brake Controller For A 2006 Ford Van With Factory 7 Connector
  • I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR for your 2006 Ford Van. I like this controller over the others we offer because the main unit installs out of site with only the control knob showing on your dash, which will give your Ford Van a clean factory look. You will also need the Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness # RED87FR. One end will plug into the Tow Pro Controller and the other end will plug into the connector underneath the dash. I attached an installation video...

  • Parts Needed to Add 7-Way Connection to 2011 Thor Majestic 23A on Ford E-350 Chassis
  • Wiring for your 2011 Thor Majestic 23A on Ford E-350 Chassis will depend on whether or not you have the factory tow package/ports, which it sounds like you do. For a 7-way you would need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way Trailer Connector # 118261. See the attached picture which shows what the connections look like. If you do not have the port for this and don't have the factory tow package then you would need to first install the # 118551 for a 4-way. Once...

  • Lift Spacers Needed to Install Firestone Ride Rite Helper Springs on Lifted 2003 Ford E350 Van
  • Instead of a different bracket, you will need Lift Spacers, part # F2368 or # F2370. The spacers needed will depend on the distance between your upper and lower brackets once they are installed. If the distance is between 8-1/2 and 9-1/2 inches, use # F2368. If the distance is between 9-1/2 and 10-1/2 inches, use # F2370.

  • What Do I Need to Install a Brake Controller on My 2013 Ford E-350 Without Factory Connector

I really like the Primus IQ because it's one of the more budget-friendly...

  • Optronics LED RV Utility Light as a Dome Light
  • Yes, the Optronics LED RV Utility Light item # UCL60CB will work as a replacement dome light. You will need to make sure you don't have your dimmer turned down. LED lights do not have the low ranges on the dimmers as incandescent bulbs do and that could have been your issue with previous LED lights. I recommend turning it all the way up and then adjusting it down for your preference.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for V-Nose Trailer
  • The issue with adding a weight distribution system to your trailer is that there isn't a lot of room for installation due to the V-nose. But I may have a solution for you. To choose the properly rated system you need to find your total tongue weight. That is the tongue weight of the loaded and ready to tow trailer added to the weight stored behind your van's rear axle. Once you have that figure you'll also need to measure your trailer's tongue to find out how much space you have for...

  • Replacement Bumper For A 2000 Ford Van
  • Though we do have another option for your 2000 Ford Van, the Westin Fey Diamondstep Rear Bumper # 61000 is not a confirmed fit for your van. You will need the Westin Fey Diamondstep Rear Bumper # 20107. This bumper comes with the custom, no-drill mounting kit. The bumper has a black powder coated finish that will resist rust and corrosion. The bumper has a towing capacity of 8,000 pounds. I linked a review video below going into further detail on the Westin bumper. If you have any further...
