  • The Adarac Truck Bed Ladder Rack you will need to use on a 2016 Ford F-350 with BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover is the Pro Series part # A4000966 for 8' beds or part # A4000955 for a 6-3/4' beds. These work on both SRW and DRW models. The reason you must use the Pro Series is because the uprights are straight so you can fold the panels back without issue.

  • Will SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps Bring Water Into Trailer After Rain
  • The Lippert SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps # LC791572 referenced in your question is a great manually operated assembly that requires very little effort to fold down and back up for travel. After a good rain, I do recommend wiping the steps down before folding them into the camper, as it's possible that some water could be brought inside. This is the case with any fold-up style steps like these. The slight decline on the step surface will prevent a lot of water from pooling up and there...

  • How to Pick Out Trailer Hub for Trailer
  • In order to pick out the correct hub assembly for a trailer you are going to need to know a few key pieces of information. The first thing you will need to know is the bolt pattern of your hubs. This is so you get a hub that is compatible with your wheels. I attached an FAQ article on determining bolt pattern for you to check out.

  • What PSI Should Trailer Tires for Travel Trailer be At When Traveling
  • With trailer tires you need to inflate them to the max psi listed on their sidewall when they are "cold" to ensure you get the full weight capacity of the tire and you prevent heat build up which typically causes failure. So check the pressure in the tires first thing in the morning and make sure it's at the max 65 psi number and then you'd be good.

  • Do The Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kits Come With Drums Included
  • The Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit # 23-468-469 is just the braking assemblies alone and would require you to purchase the drums separately. We have quite a few different options compatible with these assemblies so I would need to know the bolt pattern for your wheels to determine the correct fit for your trailer.

  • Can Ventline Ventadome Trailer Roof Vent V2094 be Converted to the Wall Mount Switch Version V2119
  • Since the big difference between the Ventline Ventadome Trailer Roof Vent # V2094SP-30 and the vent # V2119-1-533 is that one has the control right on the unit and the other has a wall mount I see no reason why you can't just unhook the wiring from your current trim and then either route it to the Switch # VC0533-03-A. You can even swap out your current frame/screen with part # BVC0573-31 for Birch White or part # BVC0573-41 for Polar White. I have attached a video showing how to replace...

  • Troubleshooting An E5 Error On A Dometic AC system With An Advent Replacement Rooftop Unit
  • Hi Ben, Without knowing the model number to confirm it's hard to say exactly what that E5 error code means. From what I can see it's either a low voltage warning, a communication error between the thermostat and controller, or an issue with the freeze sensor. You can start by checking the voltage going to the controller and then to the # ACDOM150. From there you can check the communication wire that connects the thermostat to the controller. I've seen other say that unplugging it from...

  • Troubleshooting a 12 Volt Fan Switch That Overheats And Shuts Off
  • A Replacement Wall Switch # 344410TSSW12V may or may not fix your problem. It will come down to what exactly is causing the switch to overheat. If the 12V RV Ceiling Fan like # 344410TSDC36BNOKCY is pulling more power than it should do to a damaged fan it will cause the new switch to overheat as well. You will need a Multimeter # PT89ZR to test the power going to the fan motor. This fan is rated at 20 watts of 12 volt power which will be 1.67 amps of power(be sure to check your fan for...

  • Handrail Recommendation for Use with SolidStep RV System
  • Since the SolidStep RV Steps fold up into the interior of the camper you'd need to use a hand rail that attaches to only the outside of the camper like the Stromberg # AM-533. This folds out when needed and would work great. The # AP-101 wouldn't work with a SolidStep.

  • Can Spring Bars of Curt C17062 Weight Distribution System Be Upgraded to Higher Capacity
  • The weight distribution head used on the # C17062 system is rated up to 1500lbs of tongue weight, so you certainly could use two of the #C17074 1400 lb rated replacement spring bars for trailers with a 1000-1400 fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight. The bars are sold individually, so you'll need two of them.

  • Are Replacement Parts Available For Original Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution Hitch?
  • I reached out to my contact at Reese and what you have installed on your 2013 Forest River Salem Travel Trailer is the original Reese Strait Line Weight Distribution Hitch which has been discontinued for quite some time so there are no replacement parts available to get the rest of the system. Instead I recommend replacing it with the newer version, the # RP66130, along with shank # RP54970 and 2-5/16" hitch ball # C40030. I included a few videos of the products mentioned for you to take...

  • Recommended Generator Set for 2019 Forest River Salem 30KQBSS Travel Trailer
  • I recommend you only consider an inverter type generator. From the specs available to me online, your 2019 Forest River Salem 30KQBSS Travel Trailer is a 50-Amp service with 2nd A/C Prep option. If you have have the second AC unit installed or a 30-Amp service instead, please let me know. But based on these specs, I recommend the Champion 9,000-Watt Dual Fuel Inverter Generators w/ Parallel Kit for 7,000 Running Watts, # CH49FR. This option will operate up to 14 hours on gasoline, or...
