According to your Owner's Manual for your 2014 Nissan Quest, your vehicle is rated for a maximum tongue load of 350 lbs, so your vehicle in this case will limit the load because it is not rated as high as the hitch.
I recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Round Tube Receiver Hitch, # 75714, for your 2014 Nissan Quest. This hitch receiver will have a 525 lb tongue weight rating, which will allow you to have extra cargo behind the rear axle as well. With the other hitch receivers... view full answer...
Sounds like the harness is getting overdrawn by your trailer wiring which is shorting it out and causing it to fail and then also causing the lights on the vehicle to stay on. Does the trailer have a lot of lights on it? We don't have the best luck with Curt trailer wiring kits so I would recommend the Hopkins kit # HM11143674 instead for your 2016 Nissan Quest. view full answer...
The Curt trailer hitch, # C13078, does not require stacked washers for isntallation on a 2011 Nissan Quest. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK4. It comes with a ball mount, interchangeable ball set, a hitch pin and clip, and a carrying bag. For trailer wiring, use # 118547. I have included a link to the wiring instructions as well.

The power for an electric over hydraulic actuator will need to pull power from an on-board battery. It should not pull power from the tow vehicle's battery via the trailer connector. That said, the trailer connector will need to have multiple pins to transfer the brake output signal and battery charge line. Therefore, you'll need a 7-way like the 4 to 7-Way with 4-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. If you don't have a 7-way on the trailer I recommend the etrailer Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit... view full answer...
Based on your information, it sounds like you want an entire kit including a new axle. We have several options available so we would need to confirm your 2008 Jayco 1207 axle weight rating and bolt pattern. This will be stamped on the axle or there will be a label.
From my research, it looks like your Jayco probably has a standard 3,500-lb axle with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern that has a hub-face-to-hub-face length of 89 inches. If this sounds like a match then the Dexter Trailer Axle... view full answer...
The Curt Class 3, 2-Inch Hitch, part # C13563, is a good choice for your 2005 Nissan Quest. It is a Class 3 2-inch hitch with a 3,500-lb towing capacity and a 300-lb tongue weight capacity. I am including a link to the installation instructions on the hitch.
For a 5-bike hitch bike rack the Thule Apex 5 Bike Rack, part # TH9026XT, is an excellent bike rack for your Nissan Quest. It has a weight capacity of 187.5 lbs.

Actually since you are looking for something to provide you with additional support for towing a trailer you would actually want to use a weight distribution system instead of suspension enhancement. Suspension enhancement is better used on vehicles that will be hauling a lot of weight in the bed or cargo area of the vehicle and not for towing.
A weight distribution system will actually distribute some of the tongue weight at the back of the hitch to the front axle of the tow vehicle.

These racks are going to be a simple and basic way to carry your bikes and if you are only looking to use the rack once every couple weeks, that is all you really need.

The only bike racks we carry that can handle the weight of a 57 lb e-bike would be a hitch mounted option. Like you have noticed, the trunk mounted bike racks have lower capacities. The reason for this is that if you put too much weight on a trunk rack you would most likely damage the rear of a vehicle.
So the only recommendation I can make starts with you getting a hitch. For that you would want the Curt Hitch part # C13563.

The Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier, item # TH911XT, is designed to work on the back of your 2009 Nissan Quest, and has a weight capacity of 105 lbs.
Most adult bikes weigh no more that 35 lbs each as long as they are not downhill bikes or beach cruisers, and most child bikes weigh around 20 pounds. This leaves 15 lbs left over with 2 adult bikes and 1 child bike.

The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2015 Quest is the Draw-Tite Max Frame, part # 75714. This is a Class lll trailer hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening. This trailer hitch when installed on a 2015 Quest has a distance of 4-inches form the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the rear bumper which is important when considering any accessory for the hitch.
The bike carrier I recommend for you is the Yakima FullSwing, part # Y02465. The nice thing about this carrier is that... view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Class III receiver you mentioned, part # 75714 would be an excellent choice for towing a PWC with your 2012 Nissan Quest.
My research indicates that the towing capacity of your Quest is most likely 3500 lbs, which is plenty of capacity for towing a PWC. I would recommend you confirm the towing capacity by consulting your owners manual or by contacting Nissan.
To complete your towing system, you will also need the following:

Yes, a Class II hitch like the Curt part # C12061 that you mentioned can carry a 5-bike rack since it's stronger than a Class I hitch. We have the Thule Apex XT 5 Bike Rack part # TH9026XT that would work well with this hitch too as it was designed for fitting a Class II hitch.
The best hitch option for your 2012 Nissan Quest though is the Draw Tite part # 75714 though. This is a 2 inch hitch which means it's significantly stronger by design but also because this rack does not require... view full answer...

There are a couple of ways to convert a 4-Way connector to a 7-Way depending on what the trailer is actually equipped with.
If your pop-up doesn't have electric brakes or a battery that you need to charge, using an adapter like the Hopkins # 37185 is your best option. This will plug right into the existing 4-Way on the Nissan Quest to provide you with a 7-Way on the other end. If the trailer doesn't have brakes or a battery, the only additional wire coming from the adapter that needs... view full answer...
I checked with Thule and for your 2009 Nissan Quest that has rails that run front to back the older 400XT feet would not be a fit since that's a naked roof rack fit.
Instead they recommend the part # TH7502-TH7502 that will wrap around the raised rails. view full answer...
Let's start off by talking about the correct trailer weight for you to pull with your 2012 Nissan Quest.
There are a few different factors that come into play when picking out a trailer that your tow vehicle can haul; the weight capacity of the tow vehicle, and the weight capacity of the trailer hitch receiver that is installed. For example; the weight capacity of your Quest is 3,500 lbs. If you were to install the Curt Class III # C13078 you would be able to use the 300 lbs Tongue Weight... view full answer...
I have a great solution for you, but at this time we don't have air suspension available for your 2011 Nissan Quest.
Since it sounds like you are towing a better solution is actually a weight distribution system. A WD system actually takes and distributes the tongue weight of your trailer to the front axle of your tow vehicle which will improve braking and handling. A suspension enhancement setup will help your tow vehicle sit level when towing but it won't help the handling or braking.

Having a bike rack, loaded or unloaded, bounce some is common but there are measures you can take to reduce the movement of the rack. The issue is that the shank on a bike rack has to be slightly smaller than the receiver opening for it to fit correctly so there will always be some play.
Some racks come with an anti-rattle device that usually takes the form of a threaded bolt uses to pull the shank of the bike rack tight to the side of the receiver to reduce or eliminate the movement in... view full answer...
