Expert Answers about Freightliner


  • Parts Needed to Add 7-Way Trailer Connector to 2002 Freightliner
  • There are a couple of things you will need in order to add a 7-way trailer connector to your 2002 Freightliner, starting with a 4-way you will need to hardwire in, the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness with Installation Kit # 119250KIT. This does come with a converter which allows it to be used with your 3-wire system so you're good to go there. The other part you will need to complete your set up is the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and...

  • 2016 Newmar Ventana Trailer Brake Controller For Existing 7-Way Trailer Connector
  • For your 2016 Newmar Ventana with the Freightliner XC chassis, the Prodigy P3 # 90195 you asked from is an excellent choice with easy to use features and no codes to decipher. Because you have the 7-way if it came from the factory you would simply use the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers # 3027-P.

  • Coupler Lock and Secuirty for Bolt-On A-Frame Coupler
  • When using a bolt-on coupler such as the Demco # DM14793-52, trailer coupler locks such as the Master Lock # ML389DAT are added to prevent trailer theft. These locks are an inexpensive and large deterrent to those looking to steal a trailer. There is no absolute way to prevent theft of a coupler if somebody was determined enough, but it would be extraordinarily unusual for someone to go through the amount of time, trouble, and risk of unbolting a coupler for the purposes of taking the coupler...

  • Grease Seal with 1.750 Inner Diameter and 2.445 Outer Diameter
  • The closest grease seal we have available to the dimensions you listed is the Redline # 1105-100-031, which has a matching 1.750 inch inner diameter but a slightly smaller 2.356 inch outer diameter. I wasn't able to cross-reference the A16817 part number you found with an available grease seal. Since the outer diameter is pretty close, I just recommend measuring once more (being sure to use a digital caliper like # PTW80157) for verification.

  • Using an Electric Brake Controller with the Air Brakes of a 2017 Freightliner XC-Series
  • There are options to utilize the air brakes on your 2017 Freightliner XC-Series to control electric brakes like the Hayes Air Actuated Trailer Brake Controller, part # HA100400C. However, we mostly recommend just using an electric brake controller since they tie into the stop light switch of the tow vehicle, making it irrelevant what kind of brakes it has. I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller w/ Bluetooth, part # TK94FR. It has a very simply method of...

  • Installing a Trailer Brake Controller in 2007 Winnebago Freightliner Chassis and Factory Harness
  • A brake controller harness is not available for the Freightliner chassis vehicles but I can tell you the functions of the wires. First, lets look at your 5 wires. The red wire that is hot with the ignition is the 12 volt power wire and it will connect to the black wire on the brake controller. Skipping ahead to thee 4th wire, greenish, this is an illumination circuit and is not used by the brake controller. The 5th wire is input from the brake switch and will attach to the brake controller...

  • Trailer Hitch for 2002 Freightliner Sprinter
  • The first generation of the Freightliner Sprinter in the U.S. covered years 1995 through 2006. We do show a hitch fit for the 2003 but not for the 2002, as you noted. It is possible that the Draw-Tite hitch # 75210 will fit but my contact there could not confirm this absolutely since they have not had one in for test fit. We do offer multi-fit RV hitches that feature adjustable brackets. You can see these on the linked page. These frame-mount hitches vary in their tongue weight (TW) and...

  • Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2006 Fleetwood Class A Ford F-53 Motorhome
  • According to Fleetwood, the factory port or plug for a brake controller on the Ford F-53 chassis is coiled underneath the dash. Look for a 5 pin gray connector. I believe if you look in the center console area (right of the steering column) and up under the dash it will be there. The correct brake controller harness you would need is the part # 3034-P. Nearly all brake controllers would work, there is nothing about your vehicle that would prevent a brake controller from being installed....

  • I did some checking and your 2013 Allegro 38QRA Open Road Red is a Class A Freightliner Motorhome so yes, the Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer # RM-RBK18-RSSA that you referenced would work for you.

  • Steering Stabilizer For A 2016 Fleetwood Storm
  • I took a look at the installation instructions for the Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer for Class A Motor Homes # RM-RSSA that you mention, and it yes you will need to make sure the front wheels are facing forward prior to attaching # RM-RSSA. Adjustments to the u-bolt and the tie rod will be made after test driving your vehicle. I did also check, and it doesn't appear that # RM-RSSA is a fit for your 2016 Fleetwood Storm, instead, take a look at the: -Roadmaster Exact Center Steering...

  • RV Trailer Hitch And Weight Distribution For 2002 Fleetwood Discovery Motorhome
  • If the frame on your 2002 Fleetwood is between 18 and 51-inches I recommend the Curt hitch, part # C13702. This has a 5,000-lb towing capacity but that is increased to 6,000-lbs with a weight distribution hitch. You may also want to check the towing capacity for your Fleetwood. A weight distribution system I recommend is the Fastway e2, part # FA92-00-0800. This has an 800-lb capacity If your frame is wider, the trailer hitches we offer like part # 13703 will fit trailers from 22 to...

  • Replacement Tack Room Door Latch For A Featherlight Trailer
  • We may have some potential options for replacing the tack room door lock on your Featherlight trailer. Is the 5" L x 5" H dimension you gave for the door cutout or the lock itself? The best way to find the right replacement lock is to go by the cutout size. If your cutout is 5" x 5" we do not have a lock that will fit those exact dimensions. The closest thing we have is the Bauer Products Motorhome Door Lock # BA64FR which will fit a 5-1/4" wide x 4-1/2" tall cutout. Is it made for a...

  • Availability of Brake Controller Wiring Harness For a 2005 Bounder RV Diesel Freightliner Chassis
  • I do not offer a brake controller wiring harness for a 2005 Bounder RV with a Freightliner chassis that will plug into the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller, part # 90885. Usually on an RV there is not always a factory brake controller plug under the dash and if there is it can vary between different models so there is not always a location listed. You might check with the RV manufacturer and see if they can help you locate the brake controller wiring harness on your RV. Some RVs will...

  • Recommendation For Roadmaster Steering Stabilizer For 1999 Winnebago Chieftain Freightliner Chassis
  • If your 1999 Winnebago Chieftain motorhome has the air suspension, solid front axle and is not equipped with the 150 gallon fuel tank, the Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer, part # RM-RBK14-RSSA, you have referenced, is the correct part for your application. This part number # RM-RBK14-RSSA, will include the stabilizer # RM-RSSA, and the mounting brackets # RM-RBK14.
