  • Can 2011-2017 Jeep Compass Be Flat Towed With Manual Transmission
  • I looked at an owner's manual for a 2014 Compass online, because it's midway through the model year span you mentioned and saw that manual transmission equipped Compass models can be flat towed with the ignition in the ACC position and the transmission in neutral. The owner's manual doesn't mention anything specific about a 4WD vehicle, but typically if the transfer case can be placed in neutral as well, flat towing isn't an issue but I'd recommend checking with a Jeep dealer for clarification....

  • What Locks Do You Sell for a Spare Tire Stake Pocket Carrier?
  • For something that secures the tire against theft, I recommend the etrailer Spare Tire Lock for 1/4" to 7/8" Thick Rims # e98892. The Spare Tire Lock fits rims with a thickness of thickness from 1/4" to 7/8". If you have rims that are thinner or thinner than the compatible dimensions, I would be happy to provide an option for you that fits.

  • Which Curt Legs are Compatible with the OEM Pucks on a 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 and Curt Q25 Head
  • The correct replacement legs for the OEM Pucks on a 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 and a Curt Q25 hitch can be found with part # CU53FR. These legs will attach to your existing head and allow you to install your hitch in the factory pucks. Keep in mind that since your 2020 Sierra 3500 is a short bed truck, if you don't already have one, you may need either a sliding hitch or Sidewinder style pin box to avoid making making contact with the truck's cab during turns. If you need a slider base, you'll...

  • Recommended TorkLift Steps for Palomino SS1240 Pop Up Camper
  • I have a solution for you, but the TorkLift # TLA7843 require much more mounting space than you've got available on your 2020 Palomino SS1240. Because of the limited mounting space under your door, you'll need to use something similar to the TorkLift GlowStep Camper Scissor Steps w/ Landing Gear - 4 Steps - 20" Wide # TLA7804-8000, which has a very narrow mounting bracket that is 1" tall x 20" long and will work well in the limited space you've got on your Palomino SS1240 camper.

  • Replacement Sink Strainer Basket for 2017 Forest River Flagstaff A Frame Pop-up
  • I have a solution for you, but the Threaded Sink Basket # 3729491-300-062 is designed to fit in the Steel Sink Strainer w/ Threaded Basket for 2" Drain # 3729490-215-022; unless you've got that sink strainer in your 2017 Forest River Flagstaff 2017 A-Frame Pop-up, it's unlikely that you'll be able to make it work. Instead, if you've got a 2" drain you can use the Replacement Sink Strainer Basket # A01-2018VP which is not threaded and can be used in any sink with a 2" drain. If you've got...

  • Simple Light Needed for Horse Trailer Tack Room
  • The easiest thing to use/install is the NightMinder RV Task Light # NM-Motion-011. This is a battery powered light that uses 3 AAA batteries (not included). All you need to do is get rechargeable batteries to avoid purchasing batteries constantly. It would also be good to get at least 6 batteries so you can have some charging while the others are in use. Obviously if you want to use more than one of this light then you'll want to get the appropriate amount of batteries. If you'd like something...

  • Carrying Bag Recommendation for Smoke Hollow 205 Portable Gas Grill
  • From what I could find it looks like your Smoke Hollow 205 Portable Gas Grill has about the same dimensions of the Aussie Portable Grills. These grills measure 26-1/2" wide x 12" tall x 17" deep so if yours is similar then you can use the Carrying Bag for Aussie Portable Gas Grill # 277-000392 for your application.

  • Trailer Hitch for Bike Rack on 5th Wheel Trailer
  • To know for sure which hitch fits you'll have to measure the frame of your trailer. It's mostly going to be either Curt # C13701 or # C13702. The difference between them is # C13702 has a 2 inch drop. Both hitches fit trailer frames between 18 to 51 inches apart. If you already have a bike rack, make sure it's rated for use on a trailer because most aren't. There's a lot more movement at the trailer's rear causing more stress on accessories like bike racks. If you don't already have...

  • Is a Water Trap Needed for Air Bag System
  • Usually a water trap is not needed for an air bag system. In fact, my Firestone contact told me they never recommend them! One exception might be heavy continuous use in a humid climate, such as a work truck used daily in Florida or Louisiana with pressure changes being made all day long every day. In that case a water trap might be a good idea. But for a vehicle occasionally towing the same RV on a recreational basis the air bags will not be likely to accumulate enough water to worry about.

  • Battery Charger with Solar Panel Input
  • Solar panels come in many sizes and power ratings to handle the charging requirements of different capacities of batteries. You can read more on solar systems in the linked articles. You will get more effective charging of your trailer battery (while you are driving) if you use a DC to DC charger like the Redarc BCDC # 331-BCDC1240D. This charges takes in the 12V power from your vehicle 7-way and uses it to provide controlled charging of the trailer battery. This unit also allows you top...

  • Installing Brake Controller in 2001 Dodge Ram 1500
  • It sounds like your 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 only has the factory 4-way as opposed to the 7-way. If that is the case then you will need to add the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7, which will give you a 7-way connector, circuit breakers and the rest of the hardware needed to install a brake controller. I have added a link to a help article which details how to install a brake controller in your model year Dodge Ram with a factory 4-way and you will need to find...

  • I reached out to Roadmaster for the definitive word and they told me that you could use their baseplates on your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee High Altitude with the collision avoidance system.
