  • Compatibility of Hopkins 7-Way # HM47210 With # 41157 Gooseneck/Fifth Wheel Wiring Harness

  • 30K Gooseneck Ball Assembly For Flat Bed Fabrication
  • A bolt on kit is not available for flat bed use, but a straight-forward solution is a hitch for installation between the rails.

The B&W offers a limited lifetime warranty. I have a attached a couple videos to help you decide.

  • Electric Over Hydraulic Trailer Brakes Not Working with a 2016 Ram 5500
  • It sounds like the 7-Way connectors are not pinned out in a standard configuration. I have included a picture that shows the vehicle side functions of a 7-Way trailer connector. Use a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 to determine the functions of your 7-Way and then change the pin out on your 7-Way accordingly. Electric over hydraulic trailer brakes will only work with certain brake controllers. If your 2016 Ram 5500 has the factory brake controller then make sure it is set to the electric...

  • Tire Pressure Monitoring System With Bluetooth For Long Gooseneck Trailer
  • There is one tire pressure monitoring system I really like over the rest, which is from TireMinder; the reason I like this system is because it is easy to use, compatible with Bluetooth, and best of all, highly accurate, with a margin of error of just 3 percent, So for example, since you have a mighty big gooseneck trailer, let's say your tires are inflated to 130 psi; if you inflated them fully, this system will be accurate within 3 or so psi, which is very precise for these types of systems. Since...

  • Compressor For Large Trailer Tires & Length of Hose on Bulldog Winch Compressor BDW41000
  • While we don't have an air compressor that is suitable for heavy equipment at a job site, there is a compressor that will work for your large trailer tires, which is the exact compressor you asked about, from Bulldog Winch: - Bulldog Winch Compressor - 150 psi # BDW41000 The hose on this compressor is 26 feet long, so it can work for your trailer, it just depends exactly where the tires are in relation to its length, as well as where your 12 volt battery is. Compressors for large tires...

  • Recommended Rollers For A 40' Gooseneck Trailer That Drags When Pulling Into The Driveway
  • If you have the space then I recommend the Ultra-Fab Steel Jumbo Roller for Trailers and RVs # UF48-979023. These rollers have an all steel construction and grease zerk fitting to allow you to easily lubricate the roller. I've attached a diagram below displaying the dimensions so you can determine if your trailer has enough height clearance for these rollers.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2018 Ram 5500 Pulling Car Trailer
  • The Reese Low-Profile 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 30,000 lbs # RP30054 will work well with your 2018 Ram 5500. This hitch is designed for heavy-duty towing with a vertical load limit of 7,500 lbs and gross towing weight of 30,000 lbs. so it is perfect for your five car trailer.

  • Availability Of Gooseneck Hitch For 2015 Ram 5500
  • I have an option for you, but there is not a custom fit Gooseneck Hitch that is confirmed to fit your 2015 Ram 5500. I recommend using the Curt Gooseneck Flat Plate # C65500. This plate is universal and it's normally placed on top of the flat bed, above the rear axle. You'll need to drill holes through the plate, truck bed and into the truck frame. The manufacturer recommends using (grade 5) 1/2 inch hardware to install the plate. Note that underbed reinforcement is required to reach...

  • My Trailer Brakes Are Working With One Of My Trucks, But Not The Other, How Do I Resolve This Issue
  • Since your brake controller is working for one truck and not the other, the issue is with the truck's connections, not your brake controller. Your 7-way connector is not providing power at the rear of your 2021 GMC Sierra 3500, for your brake controller. I would take a circuit tester, something like the Hook Probe Circuit Tester, part # PTW2993, and check to see if there is any power coming from the corresponding connector. It will be the lower right if you are looking at the 7-way at the...

  • Weak Braking with Factory Brake Controller on a 2014 Ram 5500
  • I know that on any aftermarket brake controller the max output is around 12 volts. I assume that on your brake controller you are testing with the truck not moving, or at least I hope you are! If you are testing without the truck moving use the manual override with the controller set to maximum output, and not the brake pedal. On some proportional brake controllers, the vehicle has to be moving to apply the full voltage back to the trailer brakes. If you are testing with the manual override...

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement for a Tandem Axle Gooseneck Trailer
  • I do have an airbag kit that will work for you in the Lippert Components Center Point part # LC1565391 but nothing that is going to replace the leaf spring. Instead, I recommend taking a look at either the E-Z Flex Heavy Duty Rubber Suspension System or the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers. They will replace the equalizers you have with a set of cushioned ones that will do an excellent job of minimizing road shock and helping to smooth out the ride. In order to recommend the correct set...

  • Will Lippert Ground Control TT LC672136 Fit A 2018 Rockwood Mini Lite 2506S?
  • Since the GVWR of your 2018 Rockwood Mini Lite 2506S is under 10000lbs then the Electric Ground Control TT Automatic 5-Point Leveling System # LC672136 you were looking at will fit perfectly. Using this kit will allow you to quickly and easily level and stabilize your trailer when you get to your campsite without having to manually lower each jack. I included a video of the # LC672136 for you to take a look at.

  • Suspension Enhancement for Front and Rear of 2020 Dynamax Isata 5 Super C Motorhome
  • For your 2020 Dynamax Isata 5 I recommend using the Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System # TDF5500. This system will better serve your suspension as the majority of your added weight is over the rear axle. The # TDF5500HD is more designed for your severe service vehicles like tow trucks and vehicles that will have large plows mounted on them. For the rear I recommend the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDR5500. This will offer you more stability at 12,000lbs versus...

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement For a 2011 Ram 5000 With Close to 13,500LBS On Rear Axle
  • Honestly with these very heavy weights the Timbren # TDR5500 becomes the best option for your 2011 Ram 5500. This particular kit is rated for 12,000lbs of support capacity to the rear suspension. They are also less likely to become damaged under very heavy loads and you will not have to worry about the air pressure like you get with the Air Bags # AL88255.
