  • Installing Adco Olefin HD All-Climate RV Cover on 2022 Thor Tiburon Motorhome
  • The Adco Olefin HD All-Climate + Wind RV Cover for Class C Motorhome, # AD54ZR is constructed of non-abrasive, triple-layer polypropylene. This has built-in vents that allow air to escape in windy conditions but you will want to use the cinch ropes at front and rear of cover remove slack and reduce billowing. If properly installed, this will not cause damage to the painted surfaces.

  • Does The Fold Of The Denver Mattress Folding Mattress Affect The Comfort Level
  • The seam on the Denver Mattress Comfort Choice RV Folding Mattress # DE53ZR isn't as noticeable since the design doesn't allow for a gap between the two pieces, but there is a difference in the thickness of the mattress pieces that would be very noticeable if your folding bed frame doesn't have a difference in height for it to match up with. I completely understand the back pain though as I experience it myself when I go camping with my family. We ended up just buying some of the egg...

  • Does The Lippert High-Speed Power Stabilizer Jack Have A Load Capacity
  • The Lippert High-Speed Power Stabilizer Jack # LC337199 is designed for stabilization only and not for any kind of load lifting so it has no load capacity. This stabilizer requires that you first level your trailer and then lower the legs until they just touch the ground and go no further. The Ultra-Fab Power Twin II Electric Stabilizer with Dual Motors # UF39-941705 I referenced in your last question has a weight capacity of 6,000lbs when extended to 30" or 3,000lbs when legs are extended...

  • Upgrading Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Smart Battery Charger For Lithium
  • You linked to the Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Smart Battery Charger, # PD9260C.

  • Are There Replacement Rubbers for the ClearPlus 77 Series HD Windshield Wiper Blades
  • The ClearPlus 77 Series HD Windshield Wiper Blades like part # CP77321 are great windshield wipers for motorhomes. That said, if the rubber becomes worn or damaged you would need to replace the entire unit as the rubber is no something that can be replaced. I am not aware of any windshield wipers for motorhomes with this refillable feature you referenced.

  • Do Tires Need To Be Rebalanced After Installing TPMS Sensors
  • While it's not absolutely necessary, it wouldn't hurt have your tires rebalanced after installing the sensors from the TireMinder i10 TPMS for RVs and Trailers # TM98FR. These sensors are lightweight enough that it shouldn't really matter so I would just test it out first and then plan to have the tires rebalanced at your next oil change.

  • The answer is yes, when mounted on a Class A motorhome, if you wanted to use a cover that completely covers both bikes, you absolutely could with the Swagman Chinook Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # S64683.

  • Can HEPA Air Filters Be Added To An RV Air Conditioner
  • We do carry replacement filter inserts for specific branded air distribution boxes like the Replacement 14" x 7-1/2" Air Filter for Dometic Duo-Therm RV Air Conditioner # RA48QV, but they aren't HEPA rated. I do know that you can get rolls of HEPA filter material that you could then cut to fit the vent opening of your air distribution box, but we don't currently carry this.

  • Can the Trimax Hidden Padlock Be Keyed Alike
  • The Trimax Hidden Padlock part # TMX88ZR which is designed to be used with the Trimax Hidden Shackle Padlock Hasp for Trailers part # TMX28ZR does not have a keyed alike option. It will come with three matching keys per lock but ordering multiple locks would mean there are going to be multiple different sets of keys.

  • Can TL21RK Magnetic Tow Lamps Be Plugged into 5-Pole Trailer Connector on Motorhome
  • The 5-pin connector can indeed be used for the # TL21RK magnetic tow lights, if it's active. You can use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 as a helper activates each taillight function to confirm the 5-pin connector works. I've linked to a video showing my buddy Jameson demonstrating how to use the tester in case you're not familiar with how they work.

  • Will Flat Towing a Vehicle Add Miles to Odometer
  • According to a Certified GMC Tech I checked with, your 2020 GMC Sierra will not register the towed miles if your dashboard is not "live". Meaning, if you do not have the ignition on or in the accessory position when flat towing there will be no power to the electronic items that register the rotation/movement of the wheels. To flat tow your 2020 GMC Sierra, you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, a lighting solution, and a supplemental braking system. If you need some...
