  • Can You Use The Andersen Camper Wheel Chock & The Andersen Rapid Jack Together?
  • I spoke with Andersen, and they said that you actually couldn't use the: - Andersen Camper Wheel Chock and Leveler # AM3604 & the Andersen Rapid Jack # AM3620 due to the fact that the rate at which each lifts is different and would cause the front to be higher than the rear.

  • Can Braided Air Lines be Used With an Air Lift Wireless One Compressor?
  • There will be no issues at all having stainless braided air lines already installed. The PTC-to-AN adapter fittings that will have come with the stainless lines, like the Air Lift Upgrade Kit for LoadLifter 5000 and LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate # AL52300, are actually specifically designed for this purpose. This fitting will then connect to the nylon air lines that go to the compressor and you will be good to go. I attached an image from the instructions that will break this down as well.

  • How to Determine the Correct RV Steps for My Doorway
  • If you are measuring at the lip that the screen door rests on, you are likely shorting yourself a little bit. You want to measure from the inside of the door flange to inside of the door flange. I have included a couple pictures that show the measurements you want to take. If you take those and have at least 25", then you can use the SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps # LC791574. If you take those measurements and do not have at least 25" then we do not have a set of Lippert SolidStep's...

  • Replacement Axle That Measures 86-1/2 Hub Face To Hub Face
  • Great news, we do carry replacement trailer axles that measure 86-1/2" hub face to hub face like the one you currently have. You would also want to make sure the replacement axle has the same spring center to spring center measurement as your existing axle and the same weight capacity. For example: the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles - 86-1/2" Long part # 8327816 measures 86-1/2" hub face to hub face and 71-1/2" spring center to spring center with a 5,200 lb capacity....

  • How to Determine Hitch Fit For Trailer
  • There aren't any specific fits for a trailer like your Forest River, as these are universal-fit options, but I can tell you how to go about determining the correct fit. In order to do so, all you need to do is measure the frame of your trailer from outside to outside. For example, the hitch most likely to work, and that fits frames which measure anywhere between 22 inches and 72 inches wide, is from Curt: - Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs # 13703 I have also added a link...

  • Will the Thomas Payne 80 Tripple Reclining Couch fit through 24 Door
  • It seems like all the RV doors are 24" and all the RV furniture is 26", but customers still manage to get all that furniture in without damaging it. If you have an extra person to help, you will be fine.

  • Recommended Steps For 24-1/4 Door Frame And 31 Entry Height
  • I spoke with the manufacturer, MORryde, and their tech stated that you'll need 4" of clearance for the strut assist. Due to the cabinet you'll have to go with steps that do not have the strut assist like the MORryde StepAbove RV Steps for 23-3/4" to 26-1/4" Wide Doorways - 3 Steps Item # MR98RR. The strut assists are nice but these steps really are not hard to lift or lower down due to the lightweight construction so you'll be fine without them.

  • Will The Ultra Faucets RV Kitchen Faucet # 277-000190 Work With A Single Inlet Hole Sink
  • Since you only have the single hole in the center of the countertop the only way to make the Ultra Faucets RV Kitchen Faucet w/ Pull Out Spout # 277-000190 compatible would be to drill two holes for the mounting bolts to pass through. The closest option color-wise that would work would be the Phoenix Faucets Hybrid RV Kitchen Faucet w/ Pull Down Spout # PF231561. This faucet has a single threaded inlet shank, which will allow you to tighten it to the sink.

  • Shock Kit or Suspension Enhancement to Make Trailer Suspension Feel Softer
  • A shock kit is going to give you the best improvement in ride quality. The other options would help a little bit but since they don't dampen the movement of the suspension it wouldn't slow the movement of the suspension like you are wanting. Slowing the movement of the suspension is primarily what makes it feel "soft" and not just bouncy. So if you have a 2-3/8 inch diameter axle the shock kit you'd want is the part # LC281255 or if you have 3 inch axles part # LC281281.
