Actually, all you will need to do is install a wiring harness, # C55355, on your 2004 Pontiac Montana. But if you wanted to use those factory wires, because you have separate wires for turn signals and brake lights, you would first need to install a converter.
The converter, # RM-732, takes the separate signals and combines them which is what a trailer uses. To wire it up your yellow wire will go to the yellow wire on the converter, green will go to green, white will go to white, and red... view full answer...
For replacement trailer hitch hardware, you will want to use part # RHK. Simply enter the trailer hitch part number and manufacturer name and we will assemble the hardware kit for that hitch for you. This will be the hardware only.
If the trailer hitch you purchased in 2009 was not originally for the 2003 Pontiac Montana, then I strongly recommend determining if the hitch will fit that vehicle before purchasing the hardware. Trailer hitches are customer made for certain vehicles, which... view full answer...
You are correct in assuming the Dual Cam System will give you at the very least a stiffer ride, but the system may prove to be ineffective as well. It is very important to match the weight distribution system tongue weight (TW) capacity to your specific application. For instance, using spring bars with a higher TW capacity than a trailer calls for can lead to erratic weight distributing performance.
To choose a system you will need to go by the total tongue weight. This is calculated by... view full answer...
Yes, the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch, # 13344, will fit your 2000 Pontiac Montana with a short wheelbase. This hitch would actually be my recommendation for you. I usually prefer Curt trailer hitches because I know they like to be a little liberal with their powder coating and in this case, it has the highest weight capacities of any hitch for your van so it has plenty of built-in safety margin.
All of the wiring harnesses for your vehicle are basically the same thing, but built by different... view full answer...
According to Curt, on some vehicles with air compressors, the plugs will not be accessible through the storage compartment. You would need to pull back the interior trim panels to access the connectors. So the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4 Pole Trailer Connector, # C55355, is the correct harness for your 2001 Pontiac Montana. I have included a link to the installation instructions below.
I do not recommend splicing the brake light wire into the turn signal wire as it would... view full answer...
Thank you for detailing your considerable efforts to troubleshoot the trailer lighting malfunctions you are experiencing with your 2001 Pontiac Montana equipped with Curt Tail Light Converter # C55355.
Since you have tested the trailer with other vehicles and it has worked properly then the trailer would seem to have been eliminated as the source of the problem. Still, I suggest you check your trailer manual to confirm how much current is drawn by its lights. Curt T-Connector Harness #... view full answer...
We have a wide selection of water inlets and the right one for your camper is going to depend on the size of the cutout and type of connection you have. For example, the Valterra Flush Mounted Telescoping Water Inlet for RVs # R920TW is 3-3/8" by 3-3/8" with a 1-3/8" x 1-1/4" barbed inlet.

2 inch or 2-5/16 inch diameter balls are pretty standard sized balls, it is not surprising that the coupler on the 1997 Coleman camper accepts either one of those sizes.

If you need a ball mount as well I would recommend a Ball Mount 2-3/4 inch Rise or 4 inch Drop, part # 2753. view full answer...

A larger trailer tire basically wins in every category like you mentioned. Less rolling resistance, less affected by bumps in road for smoother ride quality, and bearings/hub spins less so in theory less wear and tear. So as long as you have room for a larger size it's a great idea.
The difference between the two size of 4.80 and 5.70 is two inches of overall diameter. This translates into one less inch of fender clearance since the diameter of a tire is split on either side of the spindle.... view full answer...
Your trailer light functioning sporadically and the lack of function at other times leads me to believe there is a power issue. It sounds like there is a ground connection issue, but it could also be that there is a power supply issue. I recommend testing your wiring using an incandescent circuit tester like # PTW2993. Some testers will utilize LED lights that don't draw the same power as incandescent bulbs so they may give you a false reading on power. Double check the ground on your... view full answer...
Since the trailer lights work fine on a different vehicle, I would start looking at the trailer connector on the 2001 Pontiac Montana. If there is any corrosion build up inside the connector, then that can cause a poor connection and cause the issue you are describing.
If the vehicle side connector is cleaned out, you can go on to testing the converter itself. Start by testing the wiring going into the converter from the vehicle using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 if needed. If the wiring... view full answer...
You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 56077.
From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake... view full answer...

To install the controller, we offer a Brake Controller Install Kit, part # ETBC7. The kit includes everything necessary for installing your controller, including the 4 to 7-way adapter.
