  • Which Suspension Enhancement Kit is Best for 2018 Forest River 3251 DS LE Towing All the Time
  • If you are always towing with a vehicle such as your 2018 Forest River 3251 DS LE I'd go with the Timbren setup part # TFERSDLB that you mentioned. This installs easier and since it's maintenance free it's the easiest and best solution for you. Air bag kits like the # F22ZR work great but they are more ideal for someone who will sometimes be towing and other times not since you can more easily adjust the support you need. But if you are always towing then not ever having to worry about...

  • Recommended Bike Rack for Use With Motorhome
  • I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes, # HLY84FR. This is rated for use on a motorhome at 80 lbs per bike. This fits 2" x 2" trailer hitch receivers with ratcheting hooks that hold bikes securely by the frame. This too folds up easily and tilts away.

  • Using Camco Brass Propane Tee # CAM59093 to Run Generator From 20 Pound Tank
  • The JR Products Propane T-Fitting # 37207-30105 that you referenced can indeed be used to run your generator from a 20 pound propane tank. If you are looking to use this as an inline tee from your main propane supply you would need to add the Adapter Fitting # 204132-MBS to connect to the tank.

  • Recommended Steering Stabilizer For A 2022 Forest River FR3 Class A Motorhome
  • A 2022 Forest River FR3 should be on an F53 chassis with a V-8 engine and have a GVWR under 22,000lbs so you would need the Roadmaster Exact Center Steering Stabilizer w/ Custom Brackets for Class A Motorhomes # RM63RR.

  • How to Tell if a Motorcycle Carrier and Moped Can be Used on a Motorhome
  • What is meant by that phrase is that the Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier # UF48-979033 has been tested and approved for up to 500 lbs of weight but you need to check the tongue weight (TW) rating for your motorhome and the trailer hitch that will be holding the motorcycle carrier. For example, the Curt hitch # C13702 and the version with the 2" drop, part # C13701, are rated for 500 lbs of TW. If your motorhome has a TW rating of 500 lbs then all you need to do is subtract about 50 lbs for...

  • Will Prodigy P2 Brake Controller Work with Prodigy RF Wireless Brake Controller
  • Thank you for the photo! It looks like you have an older model of the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller. The newer model does have a replacement remote, but it won't be compatible with your older model because the new system communicates via Bluetooth instead of radio frequencies. This means that you will need to swap out what you have for a different brake controller. If you want to stick with wireless I recommend the Curt Echo # C51180 instead. This works through...

  • Do I Need A Class IV Receiver Hitch For My 2014 Forest River Forester With Ford E450 Chassis
  • No you do not, provided you never flat tow a vehicle that is heavier than your motorhome's maximum gross trailer weight. Your Ford E450 chassis has the same weight limit has your hitch receiver, so it does not make a difference if you get a hitch receiver with a greater weight limit. The chassis will still limit how much weight you can flat tow.

  • 2018 Forest River Brake Controller Recommendation
  • For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. This will be the last brake controller you buy. It can easily be transferred to future vehicles as well. The correct install harness you'd need...

  • Do I Need to Install a Jumper Wire On the H4 Connector When Switching From Lead to AGM Batteries?
  • When you install your AGM batteries you won't need to flip that switch on the Replacement Converter Section for Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power 4000 Series 60 Amp Power Center # PD4060CSV. You'd only need to flip it if you were using Lithium Ion batteries. However for that H4 connector you are going to want to leave it off for lead. The instructions only recommend installing that jumper if you're using gel batteries, and while AGM batteries do have some gel in them they are not quite...

  • Gustafson RV LED Puck Light # 277-000489 For Replacement Light With Warmer Color
  • I like the Gustafson RV LED Puck Light w/ Button, # 277-000489. This is a 4-3/8" diameter surface-mount LED light with bolt-on installation. It has a center button on the lens that allows you turn on/off individually even if wired in a series of lights with a wall switch. You do not state how your current lights are wired but, I presume being in a motorhome you have a wall switch and possibly more than one light per in the string. If you have multiples of these, you can turn a portion...
