• What is the Difference Between 1.25 Inch Trailer Bearings
• The short answer is Yes, bearing # 15123 is slightly larger and stronger than # LM67048 and they use different races which means they are not interchangeable. Bearing 15123 uses race # 15245 which has an outer diameter of 2.441 inches and bearing LM67048 uses race # LM67010 which has an outer diameter of 2.328 inches. The size and strength differences are due to the fact that bearing # 15123 is used in a higher weight capacity hub. Bearing # 15123 is the outer bearing for a hub for a...

• Comparing the Tekonsha Primus IQ and Tekonsha Prodigy P3 for a 2017 Forest River FR3 Motorhome
• Yes, the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller part # TK90160 is a more cost effective option that works just as well as the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195. The main difference is that the Prodigy P3 has a larger display and a few more boost settings but these are pretty much just extra bells and whistles. They will both be a plug and play fit for your 2017 Forest River FR3 Motorhome when used with the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers...

• Comparing 54 Yakima Tracks for Roof Racks
• The correct 54" Yakima Tracks for a Camper Shell is part # Y26RR which will allow you to use any standard track mounted roof rack. The other options you listed, part # Y01127 and part # Y64MR are for metal roofs and ladder racks respectively. Since you have a fiberglass camper shell you don't need the version that comes with hardware for metal roofs and since you'll be installing the tracks on the roof of a camper shell you likely won't be using a ladder rack system which mounts to the tracks.

• What is Difference Between etrailer Trailer Hubs # AKHD-655-6-K and # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K
• The only difference between the # AKHD-655-6-K and the # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K is the cap that the hub uses. One is a solid cap and the other has a rubber plug that can come off for access to EZ lube fittings. Since you have caps already you could use either hub part number.

• Do You Recommend the Swagman XTC2 or the Swagman XC2 for a Motorhome?
• Both the Swagman Traveler XC2 # S64663 and the Swagman XTC2 # S64670 are constructed to use on the back of motorhomes. While the XTC2 is not made for fifth-wheel trailers, travel trailers, and flat-towed vehicles, the XC2 is compatible with those options. The reason why some racks are not compatible with motorhomes, fifth-wheel trailers, travel trailers, and flat-towed vehicles is because there is a considerable amount of added torque when the bike rack is mounted to the hitch. In addition,...

• What is the Difference Between an 18:1 ratio and 55:1 ratio RV Slide Out Motor
• The difference between an 18:1 and 55:1 ratio is going to be the amount of times the smaller gear has to rotate to turn the larger gear one time. So for example your current 28:1 has to rotate 28 times to turn the larger gear one time. You will notice the difference in the motors speed. The 18:1 is going to be quicker than the 55:1. To ensure you order the correct motor for your slide-out, you will need to check the specifications on your existing motor label. We only have one 28:1 ratio...

• Comparing the Stromberg Carlson Replacement Motors LG-196308 and LG-142178
• Both the Replacement Motor # LG-196308 and # LG-142178 have the same mounting dimensions but, like you said the 196308 has a higher weight capacity at 6,500 lbs. The only other notable difference is that the 142178 has a motor speed of 5,500 rpm while the 196308 has a motor speed of 5,430 rpm. I would go with the higher rated motor as it will last longer because it won't be working as hard. Just be mindful thought that if your landing gear is only rated for 5,500 lbs it will be your limiting...

• Comparing the Adco Olefin and Classic Accessories PolyPro Covers for a Rockwood Ultra Lite 2604WS
• I recommend the Adco Olefin All-Climate + Wind RV Cover part # AD87ZR for your 2018 Forest River Rockwood Ultra Lite 2604WS over the Classic Accessories PolyPro III Deluxe Travel Trailer Cover part # 052963735635. The Adco Olefin All-Climate is in my experience one of the most durable options on the market. It has a patented wind cinching system to reduce slack therefore not allowing wind to get up under the cover and tear, weighted buckles that help with installation, and the Olefin top...

• Kuat Transfer V2 vs Kuat Sherpa 2.0 For Use on a Travel Trailer
• Since you're wanting to use the bike rack on a travel trailer you need to use the Transfer V2 # KU84FR instead of the Sherpa 2.0, like part # SH22G. True, the Sherpa looks a bit more fancy but it hasn't been tested and approved for the exaggerated movement at the back of a travel trailer so if you were to use it and the rack failed it wouldn't be covered under warranty.

• Comparing Equa-Flex and Road Armor Equalizers For 2000 Forest River WIldwood W/ 5200lb Axles
• Your trailer looks awesome! The Road armor equalizers # LC696740 and Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers # LC279687 are both pretty similar in performance even though the Road Armor has two dampers. The main difference is the size of the equalizers. The Road Armor # LC696740 is 6" long measured from the center of one horizontal mounting hole to the center of the other horizontal mounting hole, and 3-1/2" from the center of the upper hole the center line of the two lower mounting holes as shown...

The only difference between the Electric Jack w/ Footplate - Drop Leg - A-Frame - 25-1/8" Lift - 3,500 lbs - White # EJ-3520-WBX and the # EJ-3520-BBX are the exact same jack with the only difference being the color of the head cover.

• What is Different About Odor1 Compared to DampRid and Can They Be Used Together
• The Odor1 Storeaze 30 to 90 Day Odor Eliminator for RVs 20' to 40' Long # DR53FR differs form DampRid in the way it works. DampRid is a moisture absorber, absorbing the moisture in the air to prevent musty odors. Odor1 is an odor eliminator, it uses a slow-release vapor of chlorine dioxide to prevent long term storage odors. You would not want to use both DamRid and Odor1 together. DampRid's main composition is calcium chloride, which is a reducing agent. Odor1 is not compatible with reducing...

• Comparing Lippert Electric Stabilizer Jacks for Camping Trailers and Toy Haulers
• The Lippert Components High-Speed Power Stabilizer Jack is a great option for your 2014 Forest River Cherokee Vengeance. The jacks you referenced all use the same system and motor, they just either don't have a switch or utilize a certain style switch for the motor. Part # LC298707 comes with a black waterproof switch kit and # LC369774 comes with a white switch kit. These are all great options that have a 30 inch lift capacity and mounting hole spacing that is 68-11/16" center to center.

• What is the Difference Between The Furrion 7-Way Adapter FR74FR and FR87PR?
• There is not really a functional difference between the 7-Way Vehicle Power Adapter for Furrion RV Observation Camera # FR87PR and the no longer available FR74FR. The only difference is that # FR87PR will work with 2021 and up model year vehicles, while FR74FR will not. The Furrion RV Observation Camera # FR87PR replaced the older FR74FR adapter as there wasn't a need for the older one especially since it won't work with 2021 year trucks.
