  • Troubleshooting Truck Wiring Issue Caused By Trailer
  • The first thing to do is check your fuses and relays as outlined in your owners manual because it sounds like you have a short circuit that most likely blew a fuse. If your fuses and relays are good then I recommend using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to test your wires right behind the 7-way for each function to determine if there is a short or if the 7-way is bad. If you find no power on one or more of the wires, you will trace them probing every few feet for a short in your wire....

  • Can I Use Demco Hijacker With Reese Side Winder Pin Box
  • If your Demco Hijacker is a fixed fifth wheel hitch you can certainly use it with the Sidewinder with the custom wedge for Hijacker fifth wheel hitches part # SWW-05. If your Demco Hijacker is a slider hitch like part # DM8550034 then you will need to lock out the side winder. Since the Reese Side winder moves the pivot point of the towing setup back 22" you cannot have a pivot point at the pin box and the slider hitch without causing damage. If you look under the rotating turret there...

  • You were right on the money with what you'll need in order to add a 7-way to your 2019 Ford Transit T350 so you can use your Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195. The Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness with Brake Controller Adapter - 7 Way Trailer Connector # 22114 has everything you need to add wiring to your Transit, including the 7-way connector. The only thing I recommend adding is Dielectric Grease for Electrical Connectors # 11755 to help prevent any type of corrosion...

  • Spare Tire For Triton Elite Aluminum Jet Ski Trailer
  • I recommend the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E # AM10140 and the Aluminum Lynx Trailer Wheel - 12" x 4" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Silver # LH45FR for Triton Jet Ski trailer. This aluminum wheel will stand up well against corrosion. The tire is the same ST145/R12 Load Range E tire that is on your Trailer. The CE Smith Offset Spare Trailer Tire Carrier # CE27310G will allow you to mount the spare onto a trailer frame up to 3" wide and 5" tall.

  • Mounting a Hitch and Bike Rack on the Back of a Pop-Up Camper
  • We do have hitches available for campers like your 2019 Coachmen Viking LS Camper. These hitches mount to the frame, so you'll need to take that measurement into consideration. I recommend the Curt Adjustable Class III, part # C13701. It adjusts from 18" to 51" and mounts to box frames, C-channel frames, or I-beam frames. It has a 2" receiver and can be bolted or welded on. I've linked to a video review of this below. As for your bike rack, I was unable to find out if yours is compatible...

  • Recommendations For Carrying 2 Adult Bikes and 4 Kids Bikes On a Travel Trailer
  • I have a better solution for you, the Jack-It 2 Bike Rack for A-Frame Trailers # LC429756 will attach to the front of your travel trailer using the same bolts that hold the tongue jack. This will hold 2 bikes up to 80lbs total on the front of your camper above the propane tanks. If that type of connection will not work for your trailer jack, the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier # CC-275 will bolt to the trailers frame and allow you to use a hitch mounted bike...

  • Adjustable Ball Mount With Sway Control Tab That Accepts Locking Pin Rather Than Bolts
  • I do have some options for you as the Draw-Tite Ball Mount Adjustable with Sway-Control Tab # 7390 is required to use the supplied 1/2" bolts. The Shocker Hitch XR Adjustable Drop Hitch w/ Sway Control Tabs # SHK45VR is capable of using the InfiniteRule Locking Pins for Shocker Hitch Ball Mounts # IR39FR. The design of the Shocker Hitch is superior to the Draw-Tite so it is strong enough to be able to accept the locking pins.

  • How To Improve the Ride on a 2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 Chassis
  • The SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs like part # SSR-336-47-1 do indeed offer a better ride quality when compared to the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs like part # SSR-338-47 which is what I assume you are referring to. However, the SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs will only work for you if you have the standard axle configuration and not the 2" spacer (see photo). If you do have this spacer which most Sprinters do then you will want to consider the Roadmaster Rear...

  • Upgraded Equalizers for a 2018 Coleman Light 2515RL
  • The correct Never Fail Tandem Axle Suspension Upgrade Hardware Kit for your 2018 Coleman Light 2515RL is part # LC281285. However, this kit is more for longevity and maintenance purposes than it is for improved ride quality or anything of that nature. If you are looking for something to help with this then you would want to use the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers part # LC279687 or the Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit part # LC696740 which both contain rubber cores to minimize chucking...

  • 1999 Chevy Silverado Bumper Compatibility with 2005 Chevy Silverado
  • Yes, a Chevy Silverado bumper from 1999 will fit a 2005 model. For instance, the Westin Perfect Match Series Rear Step Bumper - Chrome Plated Steel # 31006 is a fit for both 1500 and 2500 LD trucks, but is not a fit for 2500 and 3500 HD trucks. You would need to do some custom brackets for the HD models for the 1999 bumper to fit your 2005 as we don't have a fit for a 1999 Heavy Duty truck. If you have a the 2500 or 3500 model for 2005 you may consider the custom fit # 31013.

  • Supplemental Braking System That Operates Off of Motorhome Air Brakes
  • It sounds like you are describing the Roadmaster BrakeMaster Braking System for RVs w/ Air or Air Over Hydraulic Brakes # RM-9060. It operates the brakes in your towed vehicle proportionally with the air brakes from your RV. It will press the brake pedal at the same time and with the same intensity as you do in your RV. It also comes with an LED display that mounts in your motorhome so you know exactly when the brake pedal on your towed vehicle is being pressed. You will need to use a...

  • Recommended Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2017 Ford F-350 with Factory Puck System
  • The best sliding 5th wheel hitch that we have to offer is the Demco Hijacker Autosliding 5th wheel hitch. It is compatible with the puck system on your 2017 Ford F-350 Super Duty and keeps you from having to keep getting in and out of your truck to disengage and engage the sliding feature on a regular sliding hitch. It also features a cushioned hitch head with a 4-point pivot, and a wraparound jar that gives 360-degree contact with the king pin and is secured by a 3/4 inch locking steel...

  • Installation of Redline 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2
  • The exterior portion of the Redline 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2 has its slotted opening at the bottom surface, so you will want to be sure to install the vent with this portion facing the road. I also suggest you use a silicone caulk/sealant like TremPro # 0160297 on the mounting flange of the outside housing to help prevent entry of water from outside. For maximum effectiveness you will want to place the vents where they will receive the most air flow. This may depend...

  • Can B and W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch Install in 2020 Ford F-250 with Wheel Well Guards
  • The release for the Turnoverball gooseneck hitches # BWGNRK1116 would require you to most likely put a notch in the wheel well guards you plan to install as well. We have had customer come back and tell us they didn't need to notch the guards.

  • Recommended LED Light Strip for 20' Awning
  • I recommend going with the LED Light Strip Kit # DIA86QR because it has 16 different color options, one of which is a bright LED white, has 33' of light strip that can be cut every 2" for a custom look, and can be used inside or outside. Attached is a photo showing what the white color looks like. The remote also allows you to adjust how bright you want the light so if you like this color but want is a little more dim you can do that. I have attached a review video where this is highlighted...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack to Carry eBike with a 2016 Toyota Prius
  • While it is true that there are no 2" trailer hitch receivers available for your 2016 Toyota Prius, I still have a solution for you to transport your 60 lb eBike. I recommend using the Class I Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11473 because it has the reinforced collar on it. You do have to use a support strap like part # 18050 for a bike rack. Since you are wanting to carry a 60 lb bike with a Class I trailer hitch though I think this is a good idea whether the Curt warranty required it...

  • Soundbar Speaker for Connection to Jensen RV Television
  • Sound bar speakers and TVs are not brand-specific but the particular one you want to use needs to have connectors to match your TV set so you can hook it up easily. Some soundbars like # FSB24SA2C-BL and # FSBN4WBL are passive, meaning they do not have their own built-in amplifiers to power the speaker and they need to connect to an amplifier. Typically TVs do not have amplifier outputs but they do have line-level outputs on RCA jacks. If your TV has RCA jacks for audio output like those...

  • Where Is the Brake Controller Port on a 2005 Lexus GX 470
  • The brake controller port (if present) on your 2005 Lexus GX 470 should be located underneath the driver side dash taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal. Please note that these are not always easy to find so you will just want to be patient. If you are using a Tekonsha brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 part # 90195 then the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers part # 3040-P is indeed correct. There is also a chance that your Lexus...

  • Will Hi-Rise Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter Work With Above-Bed Gooseneck Hitch
  • There is a solution for you to use a gooseneck-to-5th wheel adapter, but the Hi-Rise Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter is only designed to be used with an underbed gooseneck hitch. Due to that I recommend the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # DM8550045 which only requires you to have a 2-5/16" gooseneck ball, which it will install on. The Recon has a 21,000 lb capacity, is lightweight which makes it very easy to handle and uses a single-piece jaw with...
