  • Troubleshooting Trailer Brakes Not Working On 2017 Forest River Wolf Pup 16BHS
  • I would start with doing a few troubleshooting steps to see exactly what the issue is, and where you are losing power. In the junction box on your 2017 Forest River Wolf Pup 16BHS there should be a blue wire that is the brake output wire that is what sends power to the brakes for them to apply. When you apply the brakes using the manual override have a friend test this wire with a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to see if power is making its way there. If you have power then keep applying...

  • Troubleshooting Ripped Out Wires on a Lippert Stabilizer
  • There is usually an in-line fuse with wiring that leads up to the battery. The best thing to do first is to disconnect the system from your battery for about 10 minutes and then reconnect. This will serve the same function as a reset button. If this doesn't solve the problem, let me know and I will help you further. If it turns out to be something with the motor, we do have a replacement motor and gearbox for your PSX2 Stabilizer. It's part # LC759091.

  • Everchill RV Refrigerator W/ Freezer Leak Troubleshooting
  • If your Everchill RV Refrigerator w/ Freezer - 10.7 Cu Ft - 12V - Stainless Steel Item # 324-000119 is leaking the culprit is most likely that the drain tube is clogged and not allowing water to go into the drain pan to evaporate. You'll want to unplug the fridgeand leave the doors open for a couple of days to fully defrost any ice build up this may have caused. This will most likely cause more water to leak out the ice melts. You'll also need to remove the back panel of the fridge and...

  • Troubleshooting Red Flashing Error On Redarc Tow-Pro Elite RED44FR In 2015 Jeep Wrangler
  • I reached out to my contact at Redarc regarding the Flashing Red Light error your Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR is having, and he mentioned that the most common cause for this is a bad ground connection. You will need to check that the ground on the # RED44FR is securely connected to clean corrosion free metal along with the ground on the # ETBC7 you installed. Lastly check that the main ground on the tongue of the camper is secure, and the ground wires coming off each brake magnet. The...

  • Electric A-Frame Jack Lowers but will Not Lift Trailer
  • The first thing to check with an electric jack is the battery. If the battery doesn't have enough charge or has gone bad then the jack will struggle. It is easier for it to lower because gravity is helping out. When raising the trailer though it requires more power. You could take the battery to an auto parts store to have it tested. If the battery is fine then it could be an internal problem such as a switch or the motor. If you do choose to replace your jack then the Lippert jack # LC285318...

  • Troubleshooting New Trailer Brakes that Don't Feel Strong
  • The brake assemblies you have installed # AKEBRK-35L-SA and # AKEBRK-35R-SA are self adjusting and can take several initial applications for them to feel like they are grabbing hard. What I would recommend you do is find an empty parking lot and at a slow speed grab the manual override of your brake controller repeatedly as with each application it will click tighter until you start to feel it grab harder.

  • How to Fix Brake and Turn Signals Not Working on Work-N-Play Trailer
  • Sometimes replacing the lights on your trailer will fix the problem you are experiencing but this is typically the cause of a bad ground or damaged wiring. You can determine if the problem is on your tow vehicle or trailer by using a tester like part # PTW2993 and checking that the connector on your tow vehicle is working properly. Check that your tow vehicle and trailer connectors are clean and free of debris. If you do need to clean them, I recommend applying Dielectric Grease # 11755...

  • Troubleshooting An Everchill RV Refrigerator That Wont Get Cold
  • There could be a number of causes as to why your Everchill RV Refrigerator w/ Freezer # 324-000119 is malfunctioning. I would start by removing the fuse to fully cut the power and waiting a few minutes for the unit to fully reset. If resetting the unit is doesn't solve the issue then the first thing I would check is the power with a multimeter # PT89ZR to see if it's getting a full 12 volts. If not then you'll need to trace it back to the power source. The next thing to check is the...

  • Troubleshooting Poor Performing Trailer Brakes
  • Disc brakes certainly work better than electric brakes, but before making that investment, I'd recommend doing some troubleshooting on your controller and the trailer brake system. A properly functioning brake controller shouldn't have much problem braking that trailer, so let's begin by focusing on the trailer brakes themselves. Have you checked the brakes for adjustment? Were the trailer brakes broken in or burnished? Just because the travel trailer is new, I wouldn't assume that the...

  • Troubleshooting Brake Lines Under Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement On 2013 Ford F53 Motorhome
  • I reached out to my contact at Timbren and this is something that is not all that uncommon. If the brake lines on the axle of your 2013 F53 Chassis are underneath the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement # TFRF53A you can carefully bend them out of the way so they will not be underneath the spring when it contacts the axle. There is not a replacement clip set that will secure the lines in the new location so if the lines are pretty stiff and out of the way using no clips is fine, or you...

  • Flow Max Faucet is Leaking From the Handle Area
  • The only way to fix that kind of leak is by replacing the Flow Max RV Kitchen Faucet # LC719323. I actually just went through this same scenario at my place and the plumber had to replace the entire faucet because it is something that is internal. Since there are no spare parts for this faucet, replacement of the entire unit is the only option. This does come with a 1-year warranty so if you're within that year I definitely recommend reaching out to whoever you purchase this from.

  • Troubleshooting Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack Whose Motor Runs But That Does Not Extend
  • If the motor on the electric tongue jack on your 2017 Forest River Flagstaff Super Lite tandem-axle travel trailer operates but the jack does not raise or lower the trailer tongue then you might have over-extended the jack and damaged the internal screw mechanism. You might try the manual crank handle to see if the jack extends or retracts when manually operated. If not, then your jack needs to be rebuilt or replaced. Some jacks like the Stromberg Carlson # SC63VR have a built-in auto-stop...

  • Troubleshooting Lippert Slide Out Solenoids That Is Not Working On A 2011 Georgetown XL
  • The location for the solenoid controller like the Lippert Polarity Reversing Solenoid by Trombetta for Hydraulic Power Units # LC118246 will vary and in order to find what you're looking for you're going to need to trace the wiring going to the solenoid. Once you've located the solenoids, you'll want to verify that you are receiving 12V with a circuit tester # PTW2993. If you are not receiving 12V, and your wiring is correct and not damaged, then you'll need to replace the solenoid and...

  • Troubleshooting Wiring For Trailer Tail Lights
  • Troubleshooting wiring can be challenging and there are many possible culprits. I would start on the vehicle side by making sure your grounds are firmly secured to a clean metal surface. Next, check your 4-way connector and make sure no debris or corrosion causing problems. After that, check to make sure wires are firmly connected function to function with a circuit tester like Item # PTW2993. If you are still having problems, check the wires and see if any are loose or pinched. If...

  • Troubleshooting An Atwood RV Air Conditioner That Cycles Off Before Reaching Desired Temperature
  • It sounds to me like your Atwood Air Command Rooftop RV Air Conditioner w/ Heat Pump # AT15028-22 could have a low refrigerant level. I recommend having a certified technician check your system to ensure that it's properly filled. You can also check the filters to ensure they aren't clogged up.

  • Replacement Fuse for the Stromberg Carlson Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack # JET-2500
  • Yes, the Stromberg Carlson Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack # JET-2500 does have a 30A fuse as you can see from the attached parts picture. If you need to replace this fuse then you can use part # UF17-101066 on our site. Another possibility is that the power wire to your battery is damaged or the battery itself is drained. Both of those options would be worth looking into as well. To raise the tongue of your trailer (lower the jack leg) you need to turn the handle clockwise. If you are having...

  • Relieving Pressure From Trunnion Bars on Husky Center Line To Re-Adjust Bound System
  • The Husky Center Line Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - Trunnion - 6,000 lbs GTW, 600 lbs TW # HT32215 sounds like it needs the head angle adjusted. To relieve some tension on your bars to remove the system, I recommend using wheel chocks and then using the trailer jack to relieve some of the tongue weight.

  • LED on Tekonsha 39523 POD Brake Controller Doesn't Illuminate When Trailer Isn't Connected
  • It is normal for the LED on the # 39523 POD brake controller not to be illuminated when a trailer isn't plugged in. The light will be: • GREEN when trailer is connected • RED when brake pedal or manual is activated and trailer is connected. • Flashing RED or OFF when trailer is not connected. Your controller is working normally. I've linked to the owner's manual for the # 39523 brake controller as well as to a video that explains how it works.
