Expert Answers about Dutchmen Aerolite Travel Trailer


  • Recommended Advent Replacement AC for Dometic AC Unit
  • I do not see where there is need for special hardware to adapt the option of the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner, # ACM135B AC in place of an existing Dometic unit. However, adapting the wiring is something that will need to be addressed. I suggest you select the Advent Air Replacement RV Air Conditioner for Dometic Setup w/ Start Capacitor, # ACDOM135B. This option in the 13,500 Btu AC unit is a bolt-on installation that includes wiring harness and mounting hardware. It plugs directly...

  • Upgrading The Suspension On A 2015 Dutchmen Aerolite Travel Trailer
  • Awesome! It sounds like you are definitely on the right track here. The leaf springs # e22YR will work perfectly at 26" long and should be a bit of an upgrade from the current spring. The Moryde equalizers # MR27ZR are also a great choice. Now we cannot always go off of the wheelbase to determine fitment. We would want to compare the size of the current equalizer to the Moryde equalizer. Measured center hole to center hole, the Moryde is 8" long and 3-1/2" tall. I have attached a picture...

  • Replacement Bearing Kit For A 2014 Dutchmen Aerolite 225RBSL
  • We can certainly point you in the right direction. Unfortunately, we do not have a way to cross reference a year make and model of camper to know exactly what bearing sizes you will need. If you can confirm the individual axle capacity that will help to narrow it down. The best way to know what bearing sizes you need is to pull a hub and remove the bearings. Each bearing will have a number stamped on the edge. If you are able to provide the inner and outer bearing numbers, we should be...

  • Best Replacement Metal Roof Vent Cover
  • We offer a replacement metal roof vent cover that fits the standard 14 x 14-inch roof vents that are typically found on RVs. Ventline part # BV0534-00 is a plain metal finish flat lid with a continuous type hinge. This is the only metal lid we offer at this time. I linked a photo showing the hinge since this is an important aspect to its fit on the vent. If your vent uses a different style of hinge (all types appear on the other linked photo) you can refer to the linked page for all types...

  • Recommended Storage Cover and Tire Covers For a 2017 Dutchmen Aerolite 224ES RV Travel Trailer
  • I recommend the Adco Olefin HD RV Cover # AD67ZR for your 2017 Dutchmen Aerolite Travel Trailer 224ES. This cover is designed to fit on a travel trailer box between 22'1" and 24' long. With the overall length of your trailer being 25'11" and a tongue which sticks out approximately 3' this will give you the right size cover for your Dutchmen. The Olefin is our best cover for repelling water. The triple-layer polypropylene side panels also help to shed water while still being able to breath...

  • Parts Needed to Install 13 Foot Awning on 2007 Dutchman Aerolite 195
  • To install a Solera 13 foot awning on your 2007 Dutchman Aerolite 195 will require you to piece together the correct kit since we don't have a single part number that covers everything. You'd need the following: 13 foot awning and roller part # LCV000211460 Solera Manual Pull Style Awning Drive Head # LC271181 Solera Manual Pull Style Awning Idler Head # LC272397 Solera Manual Awning Pull Strap # LC292794 Two of Solera 63" Short Awning Support Arm # LC97UD

  • How Do I Determine Which Functions Are Which On Trailer Wiring
  • The only true way to determine the function of a wire or pin on a 7 way plug is to test it using a circuit tester like the Cordless Circuit Tester # PTW2979; unfortunately colors are not standard or a reliable way to determine function. If you're going to be adding a new 7 way connector like the 7-Way Molded Trailer End # 54006-009 to your trailer, you'll want to connect each wire to a battery and ground to determine which function is activated when power is supplied. Once you're determined...

  • Ventline Exterior Vent for Dutchmen Aerolite Stove
  • The closest vent option we have to what you need is the part # V2111-55 that you referenced which requires a rough cut opening of 10-1/2- wide x 3-3/4-inches tall. Best option then for you would be to open up the opening you have currently to fit this vent. I attached a review video for more info on this as well.

  • Replacement Axle for a 2016 Dutchmen Aerolite Travel Trailer
  • It looks like your 2016 Dutchmen Aerolite Travel Trailer uses 3500-lb axles, so we have an option for you. We don't sell axles that meet the length specifications of your current axle, but you can instead use on of our Timbren Axle-less Suspension systems. These replace suspension and eliminate the need for an axle since they mount directly to the frame. If you choose one of those, then you will need to know your hubs, bearing, races, and seals numbers to ensure compatibility. A good...

  • Replacement Kitchen Faucet for a 2019 Aerolite Astoria
  • The correct replacement kitchen faucet for a 2019 Aerolite Astoria is the Flow Max RV Kitchen Faucet w/ Pull Down Spout part # LC719323. Unfortunately, there are no replacement parts available for this faucet or most faucets for that matter. Therefore, if your faucet is leaking it will need to be replaced. In regards to the culprit, this would be hard to identify without physically taking apart the faucet to see which component failed. The most common failure points are o-rings/gaskets,...

  • Replacement Vent Lid for Dutchmen Aerolite Travel Trailer
  • I have attached options for the more commonly seen vent lids used on manual opening roof vents. This is rounded dome style by VentLine in white # BV0554-01, or in smoke # BV0554-03. If you have not previously replaced a vent cover/lid I have attached a couple of useful how-to video. In addition I suggest consider installing an enclosed trailer roof cover such as the # CAM40431. These vent covers lets you keep your RV roof vent open at all times, letting in light and air while keeping...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for 2017 Dutchmen Aerolite 174E
  • The Equal-i-zer weight distribution system, part # EQ37060ET, might be a good option for your 2017 Aerolite 174E depending on how heavy it is when it's loaded. To determine the correct system we need the trailer's loaded tongue weight plus the amount of weight you add to the tow vehicle behind its rear axle because that counts as tongue weight in this instance. The Aerolite's GVWR is 3,850 pounds. That's the heaviest the trailer is rated to be when fully loaded. Its loaded tongue weight...

  • Replacement Lens for SAEAP2 16 DOT Clearance Light
  • The number you provided from the lens, SAEAP2 16 DOT states that the lens is compliant with DOT regulations, but in most cases it won't help us identify the lens. However, we've gotten enough inquiries about this lens that I can identify the replacement as # A32AB which is the replacement lens for the Optronics # MC32AB lamp. You can confirm this by looking at the housing of the existing lamp which should have the part number printed on it somewhere. The lens measures 4" L x 2" W x 1/2" H.

  • How To Pick Out Correct Replacement Slam Door Latch for Dutchmen Aerolite Camper
  • I am not sure what slam latch came on the trailer originally as we don't have any way to look this up but if you study the style of the latch and note some dimensions it should be pretty easy to pick out a replacement yourself. The Global Link RV Baggage Door Slam Latch part # 295-000078 for example measures 5" wide x 4-1/2" tall x 1-3/4" thick. I have attached a full list of our other latches if this one does not match up with what you need.

  • Recommended Propane Gas Detector To Replace An Atwood Model 31013
  • We do have a propane gas detector you can use to replace your Atwood model 31013. The Atwood 31013 is no longer available, so it will not be a direct replacement. We have the: -RV Propane Gas and Carbon Monoxide Detector # RS34FR for white, or the: -RV Propane Gas and Carbon Monoxide Detector # RS54FR for black. We also have the # RS44FR if you want it for detecting propane gas only. All of these carbon monoxide detectors are flush mounted, measure 4-1/4" long, 2-5/8" wide, and 1/2"...

  • Determining The Correct Replacement Entry Door Lock For A 2011 Dutchmen Aerolite 195QB
  • The only way to determine the correct size entry lock for your 2011 Dutchmen Aerolite 195QB Travel Trailer would be to remove the backing plate of the existing door lock and measure the cutout hole. For example, the Bauer Products Camper Door Lock # BA94FR you were looking at requires a cutout hole 2-3/4" wide x 3-3/4" tall.

  • Does Lippert Jack LC421366 Need to be Replaced if Gears Stopped Working
  • I checked with Lippert, the manufacturer, and the Replacement Tongue Jack for Lippert Ground Control TT Leveling System # LC421366 does not have replacement gears available. So if the gears are stripped and not working, that does mean you would need to get a new jack. This is the correct replacement for your leveling system, and I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well of the Replacement Tongue Jack for Lippert Ground Control TT Leveling System # LC421366.

  • Replacement 1-1/2 Inch Gray Water Valve and Cable for Trailer or RV
  • The LaSalle Bristol Cable-Actuated RV Waste Valve for Gray Water Tank - Spigot to Hub - 60" Cable # 34466N11AB60GM will allow you to remove the outer spigot and hub so you just use the cable and the valve. You can alternatively use the Valterra Waste Valve Body w/ Flexible Cable for RV Gray Water Tank - 72" # TC172 which will give you a slightly longer cable if desired.
