  • Is Kenda Karrier Wheel and Tire ST225/75R15 Balanced
  • The tire and wheel combos we carry like Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" White Wheel - 6 on 5-1/2 - Load Range D # AM32664 are not machined balanced. You can have the tire and wheel combos balanced at a local tire shop if you wanted to. What most people find is that balancing trailer tires does not offer a significant enough change or improvement for it to be worth it. I attached a review video for this wheel/tire as well as an FAQ on trailer tires for you to check out...

  • Over/Under Conversion Kit for 2019 K-Z Sportsmen Classic 160QB
  • I took a look at the weight of your 2019 K-Z Sportsmen Classic 160QB trailer, and based on that you will likely be able to use the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00. I say "likely" because this kit is designed for 2-3/8" diameter axles, which your trailer probably has, but we don't have any way of knowing that so you'll need to take a measurement just to be certain. As for welding, it is a good idea to have the spring pads tack welded on in order to prevent...

  • Jacks for Lifting and Lowering 5th Wheel RV Camper
  • The Lippert Scissor Stabilizer Jacks # LC285326 are only stabilizer jacks that should not be used to try and lift or lower your 2014 K-Z Durango 336RE. For lifting the front for connecting and disconnecting the camper there are a couple options to help you with that. The jacks will have a manual override on the top of the jack. You will remove the access cap and use a ratchet to move the jacks. You can also disconnect the wiring on the jack and operate it remotely by powering the jack...

  • Upgrading Blue Ox SwayPro From 550 lbs Tongue Weight to 750 lbs Tongue Weight
  • The Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution # BXW0556 you have is designed for total tongue weights from 350 lbs to 550 lbs, so it won't be effective for you. It will essentially be like you don't have a system on because it is not rated high enough for your tongue weight. So you will either need a higher rated hitch, or you can just replace the spring bars with the higher-rated option. For that you will simply need the Replacement Spring Bars for Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System...

  • Availability of Replacement Wheel Studs for AL-KO 8490 Drum
  • The studs on your AL-KO drum should have a 1/2" diameter like the Kodiak # K12WB2 but you will need to filter through the attached link of wheel bolts to find the one that matches your stud length. These are filtered by total length but you can click on each individual page to see the length of the threaded portion to match your application.

  • Do Trailer Wheels Have a PSI Rating
  • In regards to a trailer wheel and tire assembly, the psi rating comes from the trailer tire and valve stem. Therefore, if the psi rating of the valve stem exceeds that of the trailer tire you will not have any issues. The trailer wheel itself does not have any sort of psi rating. The highest rated valve stem we offer is the Americana Metal, Bolt-In Valve Stem part # AM20906 which is rated for over 100 psi.

  • Replacement LED Light Strip Option for Carefree Awning
  • The Optronics Flexible LED Light Strip # UCL90CB is definitely 3/8" wide so it will be too wide for your awning, but you could still clean the side of your camper and mount this directly to the wall if you wish, that way you can use it without having to completely open up your awning. I looked at some of our other options and they look to be too large as well so we don't have anything that will be a direct replacement for that channel in your Carefree awning tube.

  • Options For Cargo Carrier For Travel Trailer
  • There aren't the same type of manufacturer restrictions on cargo carriers at the rear of travel trailers as there are for bike racks. That said, I do recommend ensuring the best possible stability, and if you have a 4" x 4" or 4-1/2" x 4" bumper on your travel trailer, use a cargo carrier designed specifically for that, the 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper # e99049. But if you were instead wanting a hitch-mounted cargo carrier, I highly recommend going with a non-folding carrier...

  • Recommended Reese Goosebox for a 2018 K-Z Durango Gold 5th Wheel Trailer
  • Thanks for the information! I just spoke with my rep at Lippert. Your 2018 K-Z Durango Gold 5th Wheel trailer has a 1621 pin box. You will want the Reese Goose Box item # RP85FR. You will also need the Tow Ready Safety Chain Kit with Clevis Hooks item # 49150. None of the 5th wheel to gooseneck converters come with the required safety chains.

  • Recommended Cover for 2015 K-Z Spree Connect 25 Foot Travel Trailer
  • My research indicates that the 2015 K-Z Spree Connect is about 28 feet including the A-frame/coupler, while the body of the trailer is about 25 feet long. If that's the case, I'd recommend the Adco # 290-52243 which will fit travel trailers up to 26 feet long. The cover provides good protection against UV radiation, rain, wind and dust. The cover is breathable to prevent the formation of mold and mildew which is important in your humid climate. The cover also offers zippered openings on...

  • Noise Level of Everchill 12V Refrigerator
  • The Everchill 12V Refrigerator # 324-000119 has a sound output of about 34 to 42 decibels. It's hard to provide a specific comparison to standard 120V or gas units as it's going to be dependent on the particular model/size but by comparison the average household (120V) refrigerator typically is around 50 decibels when running. A whisper is usually 20 to 30 decibels.

  • Fit of Dexter K71-384-00 Over Under Conversion Kit with 2020 KZ Sportsmen Classic 181BH Camper
  • From what I found online, your 2020 KZ Sportsmen Classic 181BH has a 3500 lb capacity axle, which has an axle beam that's typically 2-3/8 inches in diameter. If that's the case, the Dexter # K71-384-00 Over/Under conversion kit will allow you to move the spring pack to the top of the axle for greater ground clearance. You'll gain about the 2-3/8 inch diameter of the axle beam plus the thickness of the spring pack in height.

  • My New Grease Seal Depth Is Different From The Depth Of The Original Grease Seal, Is This Okay?
  • It would appear the the new seal SKR 17144 is a single lip seal and the Grease Seal # RG06-050 that you originally had is a double lip seal. That is the only difference that I can find on the seals. The double lip is better at keeping dirt and water out and the clean grease in. You will have a little play between the grease seal and the inner bearing on the hub, without it the bearings could cause damage to the grease seal. Once you slide the hub onto the spindle the grease seal will...

  • Wire Gauge of Replacement MC4 Negative Cable for Go Power Solar Charging Systems GP34ZR
  • The Replacement MC4 Negative Cable for Go Power Solar Charging Systems # GP34ZR is 10 gauge wire, there is not a specified amp rating as they are replacements used with the Go Power solar controllers which are rated for amps, and it does not have DC voltage it connects between the controller and solar panel. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well of the Replacement MC4 Negative Cable for Go Power Solar Charging Systems # GP34ZR.
