• Recommended Way To Wire The Diamond 12V Charging Station DG61023VP
• You can definitely wire the ports of the Diamond 12V Charging Station # DG61023VP in parallel. However, you will want to make sure the source you are using can handle the draw without tripping a circuit breaker. If it can, you are good to go. If it can't, you will want to run a separate source. I included an install video of this being wired for you to check out as well. We did run it in parallel off of a 12 volt light switch.

• What Does Installing the Prodigy P3 # 90195 Mean if Controller Can Sit at an Angle
• I can definitely see where the terms are confusing. When we talk about keeping the Prodigy P3 # 90195 level we mean from left-to-right if you are looking at it straight-on. It can rotate a full 360 degrees just as long as it is lined up with the direction of travel. I have attached a picture demonstration this that should help make things a bit clearer. Typically the proportional brake controllers need to be level in this manner to operate properly as the internal inertia sensor needs...

• Can you Retain the Factory Backup Camera with the Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate
• If you have a factory backup camera on your 2011 Ram 2500 then in order to install the Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate part # VGD-10-100 you would need to either think of a way to mount it on your own or just not install the camera as they do not make a mount specifically for this tailgate. Unfortunately, we do not offer a backup camera mount for any of our tailgates.

• Determining Height Setting for Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch on 2021 Ram 2500
• The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch # DM8550034 has three different height settings. The settings are 15-1/4", 16-1/2", and 18". You will want to measure from the ground to the bottom of your pin box where the king pin is attached and also from the ground to your truck bed. The difference between these two heights is the needed height of your hitch. There should also be at least 5-6" of clearance between the bottom of the trailer loft and the top of your bed rails. You will need...

• Can the Handle on B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2018 Ram 2500 Be Used From Side of Truck
• The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3270 is an excellent option for a 2018 Ram 2500 when used with the B&W Custom Installation Kit part # BWRVK2602. In regards to the latching handle, most will climb up onto the bedside (i.e. standing on the tire) in order engage or disengage but that is about the best I could do for you as the there are simply too many factors to be able to give you a clear, cut and dry answer. I will however say that the B&W Patriot has a really smooth...

• Can the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch Be Left Attached to the Trailer When Removing From Truck
• Yes, the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3270 can be left attached to the pin box for removal. That said, you'd need to adjust the landing gear on the trailer to release tension from the pins as well as lift the trailer even further once the pins are removed to better help maneuver the hitch from the truck bed. In most cases, it's easier to just pop the head off and then remove the base rather than playing with the trailer height.

• Does The B&W Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Come With A Drill Diagram
• Yes, it does. The B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit - 30,000 lbs, part # BWGNRK1320, does come with a drill diagram. It is not a traditional template. It is a metal piece that you will use with the crossmember of the Ram 2500. According to the B&W representative, this is how you find out where you need to drill for your ball. I have included a product description link and a video installation link below.

• Can You Use a Power Wire for a Light To Hook Up the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent
• The MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Thermostat part # MA00-06200K has a max amp draw rating of 9 amps on startup. It's best to run a wire straight to the battery so you can ensure the correct gauge is used based on the amp draw and length of wire between the battery and fan. That said, so long as the wire you found for the light meets the above criteria then it will work. I can say that most lights however will not have the appropriate size wire for this application.

• The Hopkins Endurance 90-Degree Wiring Harness, part # 41157, is designed to plug into the existing wiring on your 2013 Dodge Ram 2500, and still retain the use of the 7-pole connector at the bumper. Normal installation would be accomplished by drilling through the bed liner, and mounting the connector through the bed liner in a convenient place that has enough clearance, usually behind the wheel well on the driver side of the truck bed. I have attached a link to a video that shows the...

• Best Gear for 2018 Ram 2500 When Towing Trailer Slowly Up Steep Hills
• I took a look at the owner's manual for your 2018 Ram 2500 and it said for this particular truck it's best to hold it in first gear (using the ERS shift control) when towing a trailer up steeper grades at low speeds. This will help to prevent the transmission from getting too hot. When you're towing in hilly areas it also recommends activating the TOW/HAUL mode to further improve performance and extend the transmission's lifespan.

• The B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit - 30,000 lbs # BWGNRK1384 has a locking position on the release lever to allow one person to do everything without assistance. The release has a position to allow the pin to remain released so the same person can jump in the bed, flip the ball, and then jump back out of the bed and re-secure the pin. I've attached a video to show this function.

• Range of Curt Echo Trailer Brake Controller
• The Curt Echo Brake Controller # C51180 that you referenced does not have an official range but they have told us that it has been successfully tested at up to 50 feet. This is still going to depend a bit on your phone's Bluetooth connection along with any barriers between it and the actual controller (trailer walls, cargo, etc) but it should work okay behind a 32 foot 5th wheel. Also keep in mind that even if the controller loses connection with your phone it's still going to work perfectly...

• Are Air Bags for 2016 Ram 2500 Able to Support Weight of 5th Wheel Trailer
• The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL88289 will definitely be able to support the weight on the rear of your son's 2016 Ram 2500 because they have a 5,000 lb capacity, and the pin weight on the back of your son's Ram is going to be in the range of about 2,500 lbs (in the area of 15% to 20% of the trailer's full weight). So yes your son's towing needs will absolutely be met by installing the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 # AL88289. I do strongly recommend using a compressor...
