Expert Answers about Forest River Salem Cruise Lite Travel Trailer


  • Where to Mount Install Brackets of Solera Slide Topper on Slide Out
  • I attached a picture that shows typically where the mount that hold the roller of the slide topper part # LCV000163290 typically mount. We mount them typically to the inside of the flange on the slide out as this allows for a more secure mount but I'd have to see your setup to see what would be best option if that would not work.

  • Can I Use My Old U-Bolts with the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit
  • There is some debate on the topic but the general consensus is that u-bolts are a one time use type of hardware. There is an increased potential for failure when reused so it is best to just replace them when completing the flip. The tie plates are not as big of a deal but there is no sense in taking shortcuts when undertaking such a major suspension conversion. The Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit pat # K71-384-00 for 2-3/8" diameter axles or part # K71-385-00 for 3" diameter...

  • Replacement 205/75R14 Tires for 2020 Forest River Travel Trailer
  • We do have replacement 205/75-14 size tires that you can use for your 2020 Forest River Salem Cruise Lite Travel Trailer.

  • Bike Rack for E Bikes on RV
  • Sounds like you want to put two bikes weighing 60 pounds each on the back of your trailer. First you need to contact Forest River to see what your bumper is rated to hold. If it is rated for two sixty pound bikes you could use the Swagman # S80600 bike rack. All of the remaiing racks are not rated for 120 pounds.

  • Options For Replacement Vent Cover On 2018 Forest River Cruise Lite
  • The standard vent size and cover size on most trailers is 14-1/4" x 14-1/4". To replace the vent cover you really need to know the hinge and lift arm style. Since trailer manufacturers like Forest River do not make details like which vents they use readily available to the public it is hard to say exactly which vent you have. There is a 3-point hinge like part # CAM40153, plastic continuous hinge like part # BVD0449-A01 and metal continuous hinge like part # BV0554-01. If you'd like...

  • Picking MorRyde CRE 3000 for 2021 Forest River Salem 263BHXL
  • You'll have to measure the distance between your trailer axle centers to determine which MorRyde CRE 3000 you'd need. You'd want the part # MR27ZR if you have 35 inches between axles or part # MR87ZR if you have 33 inches between them.

  • Recommended Tail Light Mounted License Bracket For A 2020 Salem Cruise Lite Travel Trailer
  • For your 2020 Salem Cruise Lite travel trailer I recommend using the Bargman Trailer License Plate Bracket # 30-62-030. This bracket can easily be slid behind one of your trailer's tail lights to hold your license plate. The mounting holes are 1-3/4" apart center-to-center but if your tail light mounting screws are spaced differently you can just shoot through the metal with some self-tapping screws to complete the installation.

  • Replacement Door for Exterior Shower Compartment on a 2015 Forest River Salem Cruise Lite
  • We do have some replacement exterior shower compartment doors. They fit specific compartments though. Door # PF267001 fits Phoenix Faucets exterior RV shower box # PF266201 and # PF267002 fits the black model # PF266701. These are the only 2 options available. If neither are a match for your trailer then the other option is to see if Forest River has that part.

  • Is It Possible To Replace/Upgrade The Thermostat In A 2015 Cruise Lite 26'
  • Hello Wayne. It may be possible to replace the thermostat in your 2015 Cruise Lite. Replacement thermostats are generally brand specific to the AC unit, so I will need to know what brand/model of AC you currently have in your camper. For example, the Replacement Single Zone Thermostat # DMC79FR will work with the Dometic brand RV Air Conditioners. If this is not exactly what you have, feel free to drop that info in the comments below and I am happy to make a recommendation.

  • Can A Furrion Camera Be Paired With An Amtifo Monitor
  • Furrion branded cameras are only compatible with Furrion branded monitors so you would need to use one of the follow monitor sizes to sync the camera too; Replacement 4.3" Monitor for Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Camera System # FR77FR. Replacement 5" Monitor for Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Camera System # FR97FR. Replacement 7" Monitor for Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Camera System # FR47FR. If you plan on upgrading to 4 camera inputs I recommend going with the 5" or 7" as the 4.3"...

  • Can I Install the Lippert Ground Control TT on a 2021 Forest River Salem Cruise Lite 263BHXL
  • Yes. The sub-model of your trailer won't affect the compatibility and the Electric Ground Control TT Automatic 5-Point Travel Trailer Leveling System - 10,000 lbs # LC672136 is designed to be used on travel trailers with a GVWR less than 10,000-lbs. The 2021 Sale Cruise Lite 263BHXL has a GVWR of almost 8,000-lbs, so it's the perfect size to add the Ground Control TT system and it'll do a great job of helping level your 263BHXL. I've linked a review and installation video of this system...

  • How To Tell If Spindle Is Overloaded
  • It depends on how many axles you have. If you have two axles then yes it would be overloaded because that would be 7,000 pounds. If you have three axles you would be fine. Depending on what your bolt pattern is I would go up in axle capacity and put on a new axle like The Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles # 8327816. Changing the spindle would not help. The axle is 5,200 pounds and has an inner bearing # 25580 and an outer bearing # LM67048. The axle is 86-1/2 inches hub-face-to-hub-face...

  • Redarc Tow-Pro Elite LED Not Showing Calibration With Trailer Disconnected
  • What you are experiencing with your # RED44FR is perfectly normal. The brake controller will still calibrate without the trailer connected, but you won't have the LED indication showing this is happening. Once a trailer is connected you will see a solid blue light. However, it wouldn't hurt to hook up the trailer and make sure everything is functioning properly.

  • Is Jensen HD RV TV # JE4015 a Smart TV
  • The Jensen HD RV TV # JE4015 that you referenced is not a smart TV as a "smart TV" is one that can access the internet via wifi.

  • Troubleshooting A Furrion DV3100 RV Stereo That Won't Tune To Odd Numbered Stations
  • I recommend first unmounting the stereo and pulling the fuse located on the back of the stereo to reset it. With this being such a specific issue if resetting the unit doesn't fix it then it will most likely need to be replaced. If this is the case then I recommend the Jensen RV Stereo part # JWM70A to replace your Furrion DV3100 RV Stereo. They both have very similar features such as Bluetooth, USB/AUX Ports, and Wireless Remote but the Jensen option is a bit better built in my experience...

  • Replacement Lens For A 2019 Forest River Salem Cruise Lite Travel Trailer
  • That looks an awful lot like the Optronics LED # RVSTLB61 and # RVSTLB60. I am not able to see a specific model number in your picture but it looks extremely similar. We do carry replacement lenses for these # AST61B. It is the same lens for the driver and passenger side. The light itself measures 8-11/16" long x 3-3/16" wide x 2-1/8" deep. If you can measure the existing light that will really help us connect the dots.

  • How to Pick Out Correct Bearing Buddy for Trailer Hub
  • In order to pick out the correct bearing buddy you will need know the pilot hole of your hub. To do this, remove the wheel and tire and remove the grease cap from the center of the hub. Usually it is a metal cap that is just lightly hammered into place. Use a screwdriver to pry off the cap. Clean the grease off and measure the opening. I have included a video demonstrating the Bearing Buddy. The Bearing Buddies # BB1980A-SS that you referenced are for hubs with a 1.98 inch hub bore.

  • What Would Cause Trailer Tire Wear
  • It is most likely a bent spindle or axle that is causing the tire wear you mentioned but sometimes it's a damaged suspension component. So what I would do is go over the trailer suspension seeing if you can find anything that looks damaged or bent and fix as needed. If you can't find anything then it would be time to take the trailer into a shop that can do alignments on trailer suspension and let them see if they can find the issue.
