  • The Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System part # C17501 is a great option for a 1,200 lb tongue weight and what I recommended. The system will force the tongue weight of the trailer towards the front of the vehicle this is true. I wouldn't be able to speculate on the amount as there are too many factors. However, this can be done though the use of scales. The scales semi use will allow you to determine how much weight is added to the front axle of the tow vehicle with the weight distribution...

  • Is Sealant Needed When Installing Rubber Wiper Slide Out Seals
  • Sealant isn't required when installing the Rubber Wiper Seal and Bulb for RV Slide Out # SR68FR, but I would put a few screws in to help hold the seal since the trailer will bake in the sun and can cause issues with the 3M tape. At minimum I would put a screw on each end. You'll want to overlap your seals so that the top seal sits over the side seals to prevent water from leaking past them.

  • What Is The Optimum Angle For Shackle Straps To Sit At On The Equalizer
  • There isn't an exact angle to go off of when it it comes to shackle straps, but we try to them to sit in a 'W' shape to allow for the suspension to travel without binding up. Depending on the length of the shackle straps the angle can vary a bit so it's a bit of a guessing game to get it perfect. If you're replacing your shackle straps, equalizers, or leaf springs you'll want to make sure that you properly measure each component and get matching sizes to avoid any issues with the suspension...

  • How to Cut Down on Zippered Cover for Lend-a-Hand RV Grab Handle Getting Hot
  • Since the Zippered Cover for Lend-a-Hand RV Grab Handles # SC83VR is tan instead of the original black it will naturally run a little cooler than your original black foam handle. With that being said, if you don't have any shade on the handle and you're in a really hot climate you'll want to either look for a white handle cover (which we don't have), or maybe try covering your handle up with something like a white towel while you're away to help mitigate the amount of sun that's beating...
