Can 800 lb Spring Bars be Used With 1,000 lb Curt MV Weight Distribution
So long as the total tongue weight of your fully loaded 2022 Forest River Surveyor is between 600 lbs and 800 lbs, you can use the lower rated spring bars with the hitch head of your Curt MV Weight Distribution System - Round Bar - 10,000 lbs GTW, 1,000 lbs TW # C17052. The MV systems all use the same hitch head, which is why different rated spring bars are compatible. Having said that, without knowing your loaded tongue weight, it's impossible for me to know specifically if new bars are...

Can A Weight Distribution Hitch Be Installed On A 2019 Audi Q5?
I can't recommend a weight distribution hitch for your 2019 Audi Q5 because your vehicle design prohibits it. I can recommend the Draw-Tite # 76183 standard Class-III hitch paired with a Curt # 17200 Sway Bar. The benefit of using a weight distribution hitch is the ability to move some of the tongue weight to your tow vehicle's front axle and to the trailer axle. If you can manually manage the distribution of weight in your trailer safely then you could use a standard hitch with sway...

Recommended Leaf Spring that is 26 Inches Long for a 3,500 lbs Axle
Since you have a 3,500 lbs axle, I recommend the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,000-lb Trailer Axles item # e22YR. These are for 4,000 lbs axles which will still work great with your Gulf Stream trailer. As far as your 26" measurement goes. If this was taken with both sides of your trailer on the ground you'll want to jack up one side and remeasure the lifted side. The springs tend to stretch out over time and this will give you the most accurate measurement to go off of. If your 26"...

Recommended Reese Weight Distribution Hitch For a 2018 Gulf Stream Ameri-Lite Travel Trailer.
The main reason for the price difference is the different construction used for the weight distribution hitches. The Reese Weight Distribution System # RP66540 uses mostly cast parts that are more expensive to manufacture. While the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution # RE34FR uses flat stock combined with tube steel that is welded together. The process of cutting and welding the materials together is far more inexpensive than casting parts. You can add sway control to the Reese Weight...

Can Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution Saely Be Used with Longer Shank to Clear Tailgate
Yes, you can use the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution # BLU36FR with an extended shank, and for that I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank # EQ90-02-4600 which measures 14" from the center of the hitch pin hole out to the adjustment holes for the ball mount section. Using a standard extended shank will be just fine and won't have any positive or negative effects on this system. The only time using an extender is an issue is if you add a standalone extender like the 18" Long...

Does 2021 Chevy Colorado Need Weight Dstribution to Tow Ameri-Lite 189DD Travel Trailer
You will need to use a weight distribution system when towing your Ameri-Lite 189DD trailer with your 2021 Chevy Colorado. A general rule of thumb is that a weight distribution is needed when the trailer weighs at least half the weight of the tow vehicle, which is what you have with your setup. For your application I recommend checking out the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # BLU36FR which fits the weight range you're looking for and has some adjustability in the...

Fan And Lid Does Not Operate On MaxxFan 4751KS Roof Vent
I recommend verifying if the fan is getting 12v to the motor when the button is pushed. You can use # PT29ZR to verify if you're receiving 12 volts. If you're not receiving 12v, then you likely have a bad motor, which you can replace it with # MA10-20270. If you're receiving 12v to your motor, I suggest next checking your operator mechanism. You'll need to head to the roof, open the cover manually, and visually inspect for damage. If it's broken, you can use the Replacement Operator...

Can Kenda K558 205/75D14 AM3S440 Replace Kenda K550?
Both the Kenda K558 and the K550 you purchased are Bias ply tires, so as long as your old tire is also an ST205/75D14 tire, you can use the # AM3S440 you purchased without any issues. The only time mixing tires is an issue is if they're a different size, or if you mix radials and bias ply tires. Since both are bias ply, and I'm assuming you purchased the same size, you'll have no issues.

How Does Lippert Components RV Entry Door Window Frame Install to Door
RV entry door window frames like the # LC363370 are designed to install with several screws that attach it from the inside of the RV like in the install video I attached. To remove the window frame you'll need to remove the several screws that hold the two pieces together on the inside of your current door so that it can come apart. If yours really does press together without screws you'd need to use a plastic scraper or something thin that could be used to pry up on the frame to separate...

Recommended Battery Box for 2 6V Batteries Mounted on Trailer Tongue
For a box that will fit both of your # BRW74FR I recommend the # 329-HM484. The internal dimensions of this battery box are 21" long x 11-13/16" wide x 10-5/16" tall so you will be able to easily fit both batteries inside. This features a ventilated lid, 8 cable ports, and internal bumpers to prevent shifting and jolting. If you would like a more secure option, the TorkLift PowerArmor # TLA7712R would also be a good choice. This features a locking lid for security as well as a heavy-gauge,...

Correct Backup Camera for Pre-Wired Gulf Stream Ameri-Lite

How To Determine Correct Slide Actuator Stroke Length For Frame Slide Out Systems
There is no way for me to tell if Item # LC145595 is compatible with your 2019 Gulfstream Amerilite 268BH just by the manufacturer name. The best way to determine what stoke length you need is to look at the very end of your current cylinder. There should be a two digit number etched in the metal. This number will be the stroke you have and would need to get the correct replacement.

Folded Height of RockyMounts RKY1222 TomaHawk Roof Mount Bike Carrier
The 3 inch height mentioned in the product description for the RockyMounts # RKY1222 TomaHawk roof mounted bike carrier is indeed the folded height. The arm you mentioned can be folded down flat when the bike isn't in place which will provide you better overhead clearance. Given the 4 inch measurement you provided, it looks like you'll just make it. Believe it or not, it's fairly common for folks to forget they're carrying things on their roof and attempt to pull into a garage or some...
