When a 5th wheel hitch's height is raised to increase clearance between the bottom of the trailer overhang and the tops of the truck's bed rails this can put the trailer into a nose-high orientation. Since trailers tow best when they are level it can be necessary to then also shift the pin box upward on its trailer mounts to restore the trailer to a level stance.
Sometimes adjusting the pin box upward will allow for that extra clearance and still allow the trailer to be close to level... view full answer...
In order to find the correct replacement hinge for your 2018 Heartland RV Big Country 5W you're just going to need to measure your current hinge and note the type of hinge.
For instance, the replacement # PLR3408-PS is a strap hinge that measures 9-5/8" long, has a mounting bracket that measures 1-5/8" long x 4-1/2" wide, and has a 1/2" pin diameter.
Or if you're still not sure feel free to take some measurements and send a picture in and I'd be happy to help. view full answer...
The Solera awning fabric setups like the part # LCV000211492 might be a slightly different design than what you have now but this type of fabric is very reliable and we've had great experiences with our customers who have used them. There's been no reported issues with the fabric fraying or tearing. view full answer...
I spoke with Lippert in regards to the Solera RV Slide-Out Awning # LCV000165062 that you're interested in, and they did go onto mention that yes you can install the awning rail at 2-3/4" however there may be a couple of issues to keep your eye out for.
Because you'd have it installed below the recommended 3"-6" margin, the awning will have an improper pitch and in turn can lead to water being drained off to the coach wall, as well as a potential for the awning fabric being rolled underneath... view full answer...
So while this is possible, what you will need to do is add another lead leg - as there isn't a way to add a motor to a follow leg - and disconnect the cross shaft. In order to do that you'll want to get a leg with the same dimensions. I know you mentioned your granddaughter's trailer was some distance away, but those measurements would be needed to ensure the trailer is even. Here are some options for when you do get the measurements:

I don't know what jacks you have on your 2012 Heartland Big Country but the part # LC92CJ is most likely what you would need as this fits the Lippert Power Gear 12k hydraulic jacks part numbers:
359334, 359384, 359404, and 359170
You'll need to verify that's what you have. If not let me know and I'll see what options there are. view full answer...
We do have the Replacement Fan Motor Assembly Kit for Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent Fans # FVK8017-00, which will work to replace the bow-tie bracket, motor, and blade for your Create-a-breeze model 8100RDMS.
We do not carry the Create-a-breeze model 8100RDMS itself. But the Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan # FV802250 will fit and from what I found, it appears to have the same features as the Create-a-breeze model 8100RDMS. view full answer...
For the hydraulic Level Up system you have on your 2014 Big Country 3700FL the replacement jack legs for all positions according to Lippert is the part # LC36VR. view full answer...
I do have a solution for you, but the Tandem Axle Lift Kit # RR23QX is essentially the old Correct Track system, just without the yellow adjustment blocks so they can't be used together. I confirmed this with my contact at Lippert.
The other option to look into is an over-under conversion kit. From what I could find you should have 3" diameter axles so you need the kit # K71-385-00. What this does is move your axle so it is located under your leaf springs instead of on top of them. This... view full answer...
After looking up the wiring diagrams for your old RV Stereo AWM970 and your new Jensen RV Stereo # JWM60A (Jensen part number JWM62A) you new stereo should actually have 3 more wires, not less wires.
The AWM970 had two connectors, a 12 pin and a 4 pin where the # JWM60A has 19 wires in its connector.
To install the new harness you will need to match the functions for shown in the two included wiring diagrams, and importantly go one wire at a time so that nothing gets mixed up.

The Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs # 13703 you referenced has a tongue weight rating of 350 lbs. With each one of the generators weighing 100 lbs, that will be very close to the limit once you add the weight of the carrier.
If the frame of your trailer is 22" to 66" Wide the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs # C13704 will work and it has a 500 lbs tongue weight rating. The hitch can be installed on box frames, c channel and I beam frames. The hitch... view full answer...
The cameras of the Furrion Vision S Systems # FOS05TASF are normally powered by the running light circuit of the trailer wiring. In order to have them on when parked and/or towing you'd have to have them ran to a power source that's on all the time like to a RV battery or to the 12 volt accessory circuit of the trailer wiring. You could put a switch on the battery circuit like you mentioned so that it's only active when you want it to be. It would be a matter of wiring a switch in line... view full answer...
You'd have to source a 12 volt motion sensor trigger to wire to the power sources of the cameras in the Furrion side marker light kit part # FCE48TASL so that the cameras only have power when the motion sensor is triggered. While we don't carry motion sensor triggers they are pretty easily found online. You'd need one to basically act as a 12 volt relay. So the sensor would be wired to your RV battery directly through a switch like # D16740 and it would complete the power circuit to the... view full answer...
The Stromberg Carlson RV ladder rack part # LA-401 is a universal RV ladder like what you are looking for and would work great. It's 99-1/2 inch long, can be shortened, and also has a hinge. view full answer...
Thanks so much for the pictures! I went ahead and reached out to my tech at Lippert, and she confirmed that you always want to have the slides in when zero leveling with a 6-point hydraulic leveling system. For the reset process, you will use the LCD OneTouch screen only. In the right hand corner of the screen, there will be a gear or a menu called "more options" or "advanced options." After that selection, that is where you will find the zero-leveling option. You will not have to go through... view full answer...
In order to confirm the correct replacement landing gear leg for your trailer you'll need to take a few measurements, the first simply being the length of the outer tube. Then, you'll need to measure the distance between the weld stops either inside to inside or outside to outside. The weld stops are what keeps the brackets in position on the outer tube. I have attached a photo below for reference.
The most common replacement has a 29-1/2" long outer tube with 15-1/2" weld stop spacing... view full answer...
If the hub/drums are in good shape there's no need to replace them when doing new assemblies like the part # 23-465 and # 23-464 which are the correct self adjusting brake assemblies for a 7k Dexter axle. view full answer...
Replacement trailer leaf spring info isn't listed anywhere on the trailer but it's not too hard to figure out what you would need. Basically you need to know the axle capacity of the trailer and the length of the current springs. Since we know your trailer has 7k axles hopefully your current springs are 24-7/8 inches long like what our part # e64SR. This is our only 7k axle option currently. view full answer...
