Expert Answers about Forest River Vibe Travel Trailer


  • How Long Will Castle Rock ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire Last
  • Trailer tires like # LHWL300 rarely wear out due to mileage actually. Typically they need to replaced due to age (between 4 and 6 years) as the tires begin to break down and become more likely to blow out. This is why it seems that trailer tires blow out more than vehicle tires. It's that vehicle tires just end up with so much more mileage on them that they wear out before they break down and trailer tires normally spend more time parked compared to vehicles.

  • Replacing Slide Out Seals On A 2019 Forest River Vibe 26RK
  • Hey Eric, Manufacturers don't list the part numbers they use so you'll need to take some pictures of the seals so that we can see the profile and take some measurements. You'll likely need to remove a small portion to see how it mounts to the wall/flange. You likely have both a bulb and wiper seal on the trailer wall and a bulb seal on the slide out flange and these will typically be glued and screwed into place or ran through a c-channel style track. Replacement isn't hard but it's...

  • Replacement Axle Recommendation for Lippert LCI35-SB-85-68.5-NOSP-OS-L-545-7242-18PT-3
  • To replace that particular axle we have the 3.5K Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System w Electric Brake Hubs # A35RS545E. If your trailer is a dual axle setup then you would need 2 of these kits which replace your standard axles. Your axle uses a hub-face measurement of 85" and spring-center measurement of 68.5" which unfortunately doesn't match any of the specs that we carry for the traditional axles. If you're needing or wanting to stick with a standard axle then you'll need to...

  • Availability of Road Armor Equalizer with 14-3/4 Inch Width for 2020 Forest River Vibe 25RK
  • The Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer # LC696740 has a width of 6". Unfortunately, this is the only size available for the Road Armor. For an upgraded equalizer with a width of 14-3/4" on your 2020 Forest River Vibe 25RK I recommend the MORryde 14-3/4" Shock Absorbing Equalizers for Tandem Axle Trailers w/ 42" Wheelbase - 8K # MR34AR. Assuming you already have 14-3/4" wide equalizers you can be confident that these will fit without any issues. These equalizers allow for up to 3" of...

  • Troubleshooting 2021 Vibe 26RK Light that Has One LED that Stays Lit
  • LED lights draw such a low amount of amperage that basically any amount of bled through voltage/amperage can light them up. So in situations like yours basically you discovered that your one light circuit has a small amount of bleed through that is lighting up the single LED. One solution is to just try and ignore it as it won't really affect anything. Or you could disconnect the wiring when not in use.

  • 2020 Forest River Vibe with 42inch Wheelbase Cushioned Equalizer Recommendation
  • For the wider wheelbase trailers like yours we have the Equa Flex part # LC314336 which has a distance of 14-5/8 inches between the shackle bolt holes. We've found this is the correct size for the 42 inch wheelbase trailers like yours. We do not have a MORryde that fits this wheelbase.

  • Longer Shank for Weight Distribution System for Better Tailgate Clearance
  • I don't know what specific weight distribution system you have but our longer shanks like the Equal-i-zer part # EQ90-02-4600 which is 18 inches long and would give you additional clearance. This would also have the weight capacity you'd need as well.

  • Weight Distribution and Sway Control Recommendation for a 10K GVWR Travel Trailer
  • It sounds like you have the 2017 Forest River Vibe 301RLS which is just under 36' long. It looks like this has a GVWR of about 9,650 lbs so that's what we'll base our system off of. A properly loaded trailer needs to have a tongue weight that is 10-15% of the loaded weight of the trailer so if someone were to load the trailer so it was maxed out they should have a tongue weight in the 965 lbs - 1,447 lbs range. Since you're renting this out it might be good to keep a tongue weight scale...

  • Phoenix Faucets RV Faucets - Which Way Do Knobs Turn?
  • I wanted to check the Phoenix Faucet # PF213321 for knob directions, but that particular item is out of stock. Instead I checked # PF213324 which is very similar with brass on the inside and found that both knobs have a counter clockwise arrow on the knobs - presumbably to indicate on. Plus, the printed directions say the same. My trailer has mismatched knobs that annoy me everytime. I think I might switch ours also. Please let me know your experience. Regarding the shower hose, we...

  • Will the Tailgater Tire Table Work On Trailer with Decorative Fender Trim
  • The decorative fender trim pieces on trailers usually does not hamper use of the Tailgater Tire Table part # TT54FR. That said, it does require a bit more caution when installing and removing to ensure the trim is not damaged. I don't have any clearance measurements for any one particular trailer but if you take a look at around the 3:50 mark of the attached video you'll see this being talked about more in-depth.

  • 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...

  • Can a Dometic 310 Toilet Be Used In Place Of a Dometic 300?
  • In my experience you are only going to be able to get the Dometic 310 Part-Timer RV Toilet # DOM57FR to fit if you have at least 10" from the wall to the center of the toilet flange. With you only having a 9" rough in it is going to limit you to the Dometic 300 # DOM64FR. There is one situation where I have seen a toilet fit and that involved turning the unit sideways but again you will have to ensure you have the rough in clearance to the side as well as either a 4 post toilet flange...

  • Recommended Remote Controlled RV Roof Vent For A 2021 Forest River Vibe 34BH
  • We do carry remote controlled vent options that will most likely fit your 2021 Forest River Vibe 34BH but you'll want to doublecheck the size of the cutout hole just to confirm fitment since there are a few outliers out there that use a slightly small vent than the standard, which is 14" x 14". You'll want to just remove the inner trim piece to measure the cutout hole and confirm that it is 14" x 14" in order to fit a new vent. If it's not wide enough you can also enlarge the hole to make...
