- Wireless Side Camera for Viewing Gooseneck Coupler
- I suggest the Rear View Safety Wireless Hitch Camera # RVS-83112 for use in your truck bed for hitching to your gooseneck trailer. The wireless camera includes night-vision capability and uses 9V battery power (battery not included). It has a magnetic base to secure it to your wheel well. Just take if off and stow it in the truck when you're hitched. The color monitor plugs right in to your cigarette lighter outlet.

- I think we may have a solution that will work for you as we offer a very wide variety of spare tire carriers. However, I would really need to see a photo of you setup in order to offer the best advise. The issue you will run into trying to find a u-bolt is that the studs for a u-bolt that fit a 4" x 4" bumper would not align with bolt holes in the wheel.
The best option we have at this time would be to use an undercarriage storage system like the Lippert Underchassis Double Bin Storage...

- We do have adapters that are designed to go from a 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch to a 2 inch hitch like the Hitch Adapter part # HTAD. You should note that the tongue weight capacity of your hitch gets cut in half if you use this adapter.

- I am not aware of a bolt-on version of the Buyers Products Weld-On Safety Chain Retainer part # 3375471000. However, if all you were wanting to do is mount your safety chains to the tongue of your trailer then you will just simply do so by running a grade 8 bolt though both the chain and frame like you can see in the two attached photos.
If you were wanting to use the Buyers Products Weld-On Safety Chain Retainer for a different application then just let me know what that is otherwise...

- Generally when picking out a winch for a boat trailer the ratio is 2 to 1 meaning you would need a winch with roughly half the capacity as the weight of the boat. With good rollers and a short winching distance the ratio increases to 3 to 1, but with long winching distances and wooden bunks like what you currently have the ratio is 1 to 1.
Based on your current 1,300 lb winch struggling with a 1,600 lb boat I'd recommend matching the winch capacity with at least the weight of your boat....
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendation for Carrying two Rad Power Bikes
- The Kuat Transfer you have not won't be ideal for you now as it has a weight capacity of 40 lbs and your Rad e bikes are most likely heavier than that. Plus your Rad bikes may have fender which will interfere with the way this rack attaches.
You'll have to go with a new rack that will accommodate the wider tires as well as the heavier weight like the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider part # HLY84FR. This rack was designed specifically for carrying fat tire e-bikes just like yours so it would...

- Tongue weight is the most important factor when picking out a weight distribution system. Since we know your tongue weight is 835 lbs the best Strait Line kit is the part # RP66084 which has a tongue weight range of 600-1,200 lbs.
The WD system don't give you additional towing capacity but typically on vehicles there will be a second set of capacities listed if you are using a weight distribution system. If you have a second set and they are higher this would be the only way you'd get...

- For your 2015 GMC Terrain the roof rack I'd recommend for use with the Thule Hullavator part # TH898 is the Thule WingBar part numbers # TH711220 and # TH710401. This is a confirmed fit for your Terrain and will work really great with the Hullavator since Thule makes this too. The WingBars are aerodynamically shaped too which helps prevent wind noise. This configuration has been tested to work on your vehicle and with the Terrain so it will work really well overall.

- If your John Deere tractor has an AC power outlet like what houses have then yes the Kat's Heaters Vehicle Interior Heater # KH37100 would work well. If instead you have 12 volt DC power on your tractor (most likely) we have the part # KH37500 which would work for that application.

- For your 2016 Ford F-250 I recommend the Extang Trifecta 2.0 # EX93720 which is the toolbox edition option and will fit your crossover style tool box and 6-3/4 foot bed perfectly. This is a soft folding tonneau cover that will fit perfectly.
Another option is the Access Toolbox Edition Soft, Roll-Up Tonneau Cover # 834532008453 which is a confirmed fit with your toolbox and will fit perfectly based on the dimensions you gave.
Both are great options that don't require cutting your current...
view full answer... - Recommended Keel Roller For Best Weight Capacity on Boat Trailer
- The Yates Keel Roller for Boat Trailers - Super-Heavy-Duty Rubber - 18" Long - 5/8" Shaft # YR18244-165EC is not weight rated. The weight of the boat will actually be on the bracket and the 5/8 inch shaft that runs through the heavy-duty roller.
Your application with the front weight the roller is more likely to bend the longer you make the roller. For instance the 18 inch roller along with the brackets # CE10500G and Roller Shaft w/Cap Nuts 19" x 5/8" # 107-30A will be more likely...

- For your 4' x 8' Runaway Micro Camper, I recommend installing the Swagman Roamer LT Roof Rack part # S80510 which have durable square steel crossbars which work with a multitude of accessoires and come with a lifetime warranty. The installation process is also very simple, just a few holes to drill. The bars can then be trimmed once you get them in the proper location.
Then for the kayak carrier, I recommend the Swagman Exo Aero Rooftop Kayak Carrier System part # S65145. This system...
view full answer... - Can 5th Wheel Hitch be Installed on 2018 Ram 2500 with Ram Box
- You can indeed install a 5th wheel trailer hitch on your 2018 Ram 2500 without the factory puck system but the Ram Boxes will require that another component be added to your setup. Because the Ram Boxes limit the available turning clearance over the bed, a Reese Sidewinder or other similar pin box that moves the pivot point away from the king pin will need to be on the trailer. This is the only way to allow for proper turning clearance with the Ram Box models regardless of whether or not...

- For your 2015 Nissan Rogue I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118480 with is a custom fit. The harness will attach to the factory wiring connectors located behind the trim panels in the cargo area on the driver and passenger side. The power wire will be run directly to your vehicle battery to protect your electronics from overdraw.
Your 2015 Nissan Rogue is not rated for a towing capacity large enough to require a brake controller, so you...

view full answer... - Can Electric Brakes be Added to Trailer with 3,500 Pound Axle and 10 Inch Wheels
- You can indeed install electric brakes on the food trailer you are looking to purchase but you will need to upgrade to larger tires and wheels as well. The additional components you will need will just depend on what the trailer is already equipped with.
The reason the existing 10 inch wheels on the trailer won't work is because they won't fit over a 3,500 pound hub-and-drum assembly. This likely isn't an issue with the idler hubs that the trailer is currently equipped with but you will...
view full answer... - Recommended Bumper Hitch for Cargo Carrier and Generator on 2019 Jayco Jay Feather X23E Trailer
- The Buyers Products RV Bumper Receiver Hitch # 337RVA24 is ideal for adding a bike rack or cargo carrier to your RV. It is only really recommended for 200 lbs total tongue weight. For your application I recommend the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-100 which is a much more sturdy hitch that is rated for 350 lbs tongue weight. This will allow you to use the TorkLift Lock and Load SideKick 21-1/4" x 16-1/8" Cargo Tray - 2" Hitches - 200 lbs # TLA7901 or the TorkLift Lock and...

- From my research the enclosed area of your Winnebago WD1710 is a little over 18 feet. Measure from the most rear point of the trailer to the front of the enclosed box to verify. If I'm correct then I recommend the Adco cover # AD97ZR.
It's designed to fit travel trailers with an 18 to 20 foot box and offers great protection in all types of climates.
