  • Can The Adco Olefin HD RV Cover Be Installed While The Trailer Is Wet
  • The Adco Olefin HD RV Cover for Travel Trailers up to 22' # AD47ZR does have built-in vents to allow for the trailer to breathe and reduce moisture but it's best to wait to cover the trailer until it's dry to avoid mold/mildew growth that might not be able to dry properly while the cover is on.

  • Availability Of 33" Ark Stabilizer Jack And Dimensional Diagrams Of Similar Ark Corner Steadies
  • We do carry the 33" Ark Stabilizer Jack that you are looking for with part # ARK77FR. I was able to track down a few drawings that you should find helpful. These are for the 30" # ARK94FR and the 24" # ARK34FR Stabilizer jacks. I'm afraid we don't have a drawing for the 33" jack.

  • Do The Trailer Wheel and Tire Packages Come Balanced?
  • Our trailer wheel and tire combos come from the manufacturer mounted. As trailer tires do not require balancing most manufacturers will not balance their tire packages like the Kenda Karrier ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" Black Mod Wheel # AM32424. I have linked one of our articles below that discuses why trailer tires are not required to be balanced. We do offer Counteract Tire Balancing Beads # CA66VR that you can add to each wheel that will balance the tire while you are...

  • Do You Have Any Images Of The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver On a 2019 Acura RDX?
  • While we do not have any images of the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e72AR installed on a 2019 Acura RDX you can see the similar Draw-Tite Receiver # 76268 on the images I have included. One of the images is with it installed on a RDX that had the factory 1-1/4" receiver to show how it fits with the different rear fascia cover. Currently there are no 2" hidden style receivers available which is likely due to there not being enough room to fit with the rear spare tire.

  • Determining the Best Top and Side Trim Options for an Enclosed Trailer
  • There isn't really a right or wrong answer when it comes to selecting trim for the tops and sides of your trailer. It is really just about selecting the best shape/style/size that fits your contours the best. Trim like the Top Rail Trim for Enclosed Trailer # 362530-955 is made of aluminum. This means you can cut it to size and even carefully conform it to the shapes of you trailer. The Top Rail Trim for Enclosed Trailer # 362530-955 is a pretty flat trim piece, meaning it is going to...

  • How To Gain Fifth Wheel Turning Clearance On My 2016 Ram 2500
  • I do have a few potential solutions for you, but we do not recommend using the Convert-A-Ball Offset Adapter # CAB-C5GX1216 with a Gen-Y offset ball # GY83XR. This Gen-Y offset gooseneck ball should not be used with any kind of adapter. If you need 12" of clearance, a slider hitch like the B&W companion # BWRVK3670 will give you 12" of fore/aft travel. B&W makes an extremely well built hitch. The downside is they are quite heavy, just shy of 300 lbs. Another option is to replace your...

  • How to Determine if You Have Manual or Self-Adjusting Brakes
  • Really the only way to tell if you have manual or self-adjusting brakes is to remove the hub and take a look inside. If you can see a cable running at an angle (see included photo), then you have self adjusting brakes like the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting # AKEBRK-35-SA. If you do not have that cable, then you have manual adjusting brakes like the Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-35

  • Recommended Roof Coating For EPDM Roof Membranes
  • You would need to reach out to Alfa to see what type of roof membrane they used on the trailer since there isn't a guide that would tell us what was used. Typically the roof membrane is either made of EPDM or TPO. The only roof coating we currently offer is the Alpha Systems 4034 Roof Coating for RV Roofs # AL34CV, which adheres to polyurethane foam, aluminum, galvanized steel, fiberglass, cured concrete and EPDM roof membranes. If you find that you have an EPDM roof membrane then you'll...

  • TST TPMS System TST-507-RV-4 - Can I Swap Cap Sensors For Internal Sensors

Definitely a good idea if you don't want to have to worry about a sensor going missing. The internal batteries usually last at least 5 years.

  • What Pure Sine Wave Inverter Is Needed
  • To calculate power consumption simply multiply wattage by the number of hours it is being used. Remember to consider type of current, AC or DC. The number of watts is equal to amps multiplied by volts. Your battery bank is rated in Amp Hours, AH. If you have a lithium chemistry battery you can use almost the entire charge before voltage drops below a usable range. If you have a battery bank that is lead acid chemistry, including those labeled as AGM or Gel, you can use at best half of...

  • Electric Winch For Use With Boat Trailer
  • The Superwinch gets wired to an ignition switch, so it isn't something that is meant for a boat trailer. The fastest 12 volt electric winch that can be powered with a 12 volt battery with a boat trailer is the Dutton-Lainson StrongArm 12-Volt DC Electric Winch with Remote # DL25220. This is rated for boats up to 9,000 lbs, pulls between 15 ft/minute (no load) and 6.3 ft/minute (full load), and can run for up to 4 minutes at a time, so it will certainly be faster than 2 feet per minute.

  • Can Valve Stem of Aluminum Viking Series Valhalla Trailer Wheel Handle 120 psi
  • A cold psi of 120 is absolutely no problem for the Aluminum Viking Series Valhalla Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6-1/2" - 8 on 6-1/2 # AX02665865HDBMMFL. Reason why is the valve stem that comes with this wheel is part # AM20906 which is rated for 200 psi so you're set to use this wheel with your tires. As for all trailer axles with 8 lugs having an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern, the answer is technically no as there is the uncommon 8 on 275 mm for dually set ups. But that is really something you'd...

  • Determining Fifth Wheel Turning Clearance
  • I can certainly help shed some light on the situation. I also am not aware of any app that calculates turning clearance. If only it were so easy right? If you have the option to purchase a long bed truck, that would be preferred. That way you will never have to worry about clearance. Also, GMC offers an OEM 5th wheel prep package, which would make your life a lot easier. Otherwise you will need to install a rail kit like the # BWRVK2505. The official answer is- "it depends". Generally...

  • Will Switching from a 13,500 BTU RV AC to a 15,000 BTU RV AC Be Quieter
  • There's won't be much of a difference in decibels when switching air conditioner sizes but there is when switching brands. The quietest units we offer are from Furrion, the Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System part # FR52PR for 13,500 BTU or part # FR92PR for 15,000 BTU. These units both run around 60 dB's inside and 80dB's outside. If you can let me know what brand of unit you have now, I'd be glad to see if we have a setup that will allow you to reuse any existing controls. For...
