- How to Identify Trailer Axle Brand on 2019 Salem FSX Series 179DBK
- We do not have a way to identify the axle on your 2019 Salem FSX 179DBK. What you will need to do is climb under the trailer and look for the axle tag. If the axle tag is too worn or missing there may be a serial number stamped into it which could identify the axle. If you can't find either of those the only way to identify the axle would be to pull the VIN and call Salem to see what they put on the trailer.
If you were trying to decide if the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB1980A...
view full answer... - Is There a Better License Plate Bracket That Will Work With Low Profile LED RV Tail Light RVSTL11?
- While there isn't a more durable license plate bracket specifically designed to fit the Low Profile LED Combination RV Tail Light w/ Bracket # RVSTL11, this won't prevent you from putting a bracket like the # 428-09 behind the light. While the holes in the bracket are not going to match your light you can drill new holes through the bracket to hold it in place with the light.
Another option would be to just mount the license plate separately with the License Plate Bracket with Light #...

- 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...
view full answer... - Can I Fit Tires With a Higher Load Capacity On My 2019 Forest River Wolf Pup 16BHS Travel Trailer?
- I recommend looking at the ST215/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire # TTWTRTM2157514D. This tire is going to be 1/2" wider and 1/2" taller and will mount on your current wheels. You will need to verify on your 2019 Forest River Wolf Pup 16BHS has the roof for the slightly larger tires. The tire carries a slightly higher maximum load rating at 2,200lbs per tire giving you 4,400lbs total weight capacity. This is going to be 900lbs over the 3,500lbs axle rating on your Wolf Pup. If you were to go much...

- I'm assuming you're referring to the wet bolts that come with the MORryde kit like # MR76ZR. The # MR92HR is what you need for your # MR87ZR. If you need the 7/16"-20 locknut you will have to pick that up locally.

- Hey Gary, so I looked up the weight of your 2022 Flagstaff Micro Lite 21FBRS and based on that the best weight distribution and sway control option is the Strait Line part # RP66083 which has a tongue weight range of 400-800 lbs and features best sway control at fighting sway before it starts as it works to keep the trailer in a "straight line" as much as possible.
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement Landing Gear Gearbox For A 2008 Forest River Sandstorm
- To find the correct replacement gearbox for your landing gear I would need to know the model of your landing gear. For example, the Replacement Gearbox for Venture Aluminum Electric 5th Wheel RV Landing Gear Assemblies # LC276602 you were looking at is designed to replace discontinued Venture landing gears, but is also compatible with most other brands of landing gear, including Atwood, Lippert, and Stromberg-Carlson.
If you take a look at the driver side of your landing gear you should...

- I recommend just changing the tires to the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10130 on your 2021 Forest River Rockwood 1940LTD. This will allow you to maintain your same wheels and tire clearance that you currently have. They have a speed rating of 81 MPH (M) and a load rating D for 1,220lbs per tire.
If you would rather have the 13" aluminum wheel, the Aluminum Hi-Spec Series S5 Trailer Wheel - 13" x 5" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Silver # AM22323HWT, would go nicely with...

- Hey David, yes the Furrion 30 amp outlet part # F30ITSSS that you referenced has the same bolt pattern as the Furrion outlet you currently have.
view full answer... - Recommended Single Camera Observation System for Inside of a Trailer
- There are cameras that are not motion activated that we have, but they aren't going to work in conjunction with the Furrion # FCE48TASL.
For just a single camera inside your camper, I'd recommend checking out the Drive Wireless RV Backup Camera System w/ Night Vision # 324-000002.
This camera system is not motion activated, can be wired to an always on power source for a constant feed, and includes a 7" LED monitor.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Dimming Trailer Lights When Braking And Using The Turn Signal
- Hi Doug,
Based on the symptoms you're describing it just sounds like you're dealing with a lack of power. Everything works until you start putting too much of a load on the harness. Does your Suburban have a factory tow package/7-way or did you have to install one aftermarket? Older vehicles used to pull power from the vehicle tail lights to power the trailer lights and ended up drawing too much power and causing the lights to dim. In this kind of situation you can either replace the wiring...
view full answer... - Recommended Cover for a Forest River Rockwood 232ESP
- I checked with Forest River and the listed box length of the Forest River Rockwood 232ESP is listed at 12' therefore, the Adco SFS AquaShed RV Cover for Pop Up Campers up to 14' Long part # 290-12293 would be a perfect fit. This cover has an integrated cinching system which can provide a tight fit, weighted buckles for an easy install, and comes with a two year warranty.
We have found the 12' # 290-12292 to be slightly too short for your camper.

- Hello Kg. Most all of the converter/chargers out there will be compatible with AGM batteries. Although each unit will have its own list of compatible battery types. For example, the Progressive Dynamics 4000 Series RV Converter w/ Charge Wizard and AC/DC Distribution Panel - 60 Amp # PD4060K that you were looking at is compatible with lithium-ion, flooded lead acid, AGM, and gel batteries. If you can tell me exactly what model converter charger you have, I can tell you if it will work with...
view full answer... - Is MORryde or Rota-Flex a Better 1621 Pin Box Replacement?
- Hey Donald, thanks for reaching out!
I recommend using the MORryde Cushioned Pin Box # MR84VR over the Curt Rota-Flex # LC328330 any day because it has better cushioning technology. Back in the day when the Rota-Flex was first released it was top-notch, and while it's still an effective pin box, the MORryde system performs better.
The MORryde number I referenced above is for 14K - 18K trailers. If you have a different GVWR then you'll either need part # MR74VR for 11.5K - 14K trailers...
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement Control Panel for a Atwood Water Heater
- It does sound like your control board needs to be replaced, unfortunately. I'd need to know what model water heater you have currently to get the correct control board.
For instance if you had the AT94191, AT96121, or AT96136 water heater then you could use the Replacement Control Panel for Atwood Water Heaters # AT91367.
view full answer... - Recommended WDS for a 2021 Forest River Wildwood X-Lite FSX TT
- The Blue Ox 2-Point Weight Distribution system you're looking at would work fine but I don't think you're going to need a system that big.
I recommend checking out the Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # RP66558 instead. This system has a tongue weight range of 400-600 lbs which seems like it'll be much better suited for you.
I do still recommend loading your trailer as if you were heading out and having your trailer weighed to get the official tongue weight...
view full answer... - Air Ride Pin Box Compatibility With An Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch
- Hi Curt,
Andersen allows for the # AM3200 to be used with Trailair pin boxes like the # LC155943 you were looking at. This specific pin box is designed with an 1116 bolt pattern so you'll want to verify your trailer's bolt pattern first. To do this you'll want to look for a small white sticker on your pin box that lists the serial number and RPO number. If this sticker is missing then you'll want to follow along with the measurement guide I've attached below to determine the bolt pattern.
view full answer... - Lift Kit Fitment for a 2020 R-Pod 196
- Hey Marty, thanks for reaching out!
You'll likely be installing the Lippert 3-1/2" Axle Riser Kit # LC382741 on your 2020 R-Pod 196 but you'll need to confirm that your R-Pod is equipped with a square torsion axle rated for 3,500 lbs and bolt hole spacing at 7-7/8" on center.
You can either verify which axle you have or send me a photo of the tag on in the middle of your axle so I can confirm which lift kit will work for your R-Pod.
