  • What is Distance Between Bike Trays of Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack
  • I reached out to Swagman for you, who said the distance from the center of one wheel tray to the center of the opposite wheel tray is 9-1/2 inches on the Swagman E-Spec Electric Bike Rack # S94FR. This has about 19 inches from the center of it's hitch pin hole out to the center of the nearest bike tray. You can use that dimension on your RV to determine if this could fit without an extender. We don't recommend using a hitch extender though as it cuts the capacity of the hitch it is installed...

  • How to Select Hub/Drums & Electric Brakes For Trailer
  • I'm sure we can get you a hub and drum assembly for your trailer but there's quite a bit of info needed in order to do so. To find the correct hubs you will need to take apart your current hub assembly and look at the bearings themselves; wipe away the grease and you should be able to see the part number stamped directly on them. If you are unable to find them, you need to use a digital caliper and measure your spindle where the bearings and grease seal ride, like in the diagram I added...

  • Can The Toilet Seat On a Dometic 300 Tan RV Toilet Be Improved?
  • Unfortunately the design of the Dometic 300 Toilet # DOM74FR means you can only use their Seat/Lid # DMC99FR. You may be able to upgrade to the Dometic 310 Toilet # DOM37FR which has a much nicer slow close lid made of a better polypropylene material. To verify if you will be able to use the 310 you need to ensure you have at least a 10" rough in which means you need to have 10" from the wall to the center of the drain/mounting bolt hole location.

  • Shock Kit to Smooth Out Ride of Trailer with Tandem 8k Trailer Axles
  • The best option to smooth out the suspension of your RV that has tandem axle 8k Lippert springs is the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Kit for 8k axles part # RM-2470 which was designed for your axle diameter and capacity. This would do a better job than a Timbren Silent Ride but worth nothing is that Timbren does not offer a kit for 8k axle replacements. Dampening the suspension movement will do the most to make the ride quality smoother which is what a shock kit does.

  • Replacement Gooseneck Pin box for a Lippert Turning Point

  • Compatibility of HydraStar HSE7K-TR1 Disc Brake Kit w/ Actuator On 7K Axles
  • The HydraStar # HSE7K-TR1 disc brake kit you mentioned is designed for 7K axles. I don't have access to a database that would tell me what your 5th wheel came equipped from the factory with, but it's pretty easy to figure out. The disc brake rotors included in the kit will replace hub/drums that use the 25580 inner and 14125A outer wheel bearing and the GL-2250DL grease seal all of which are typical for a 7K axle. I'd recommend looking at your inner and outer wheel bearings and getting...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2020 Vanleigh Beacon 5th Wheel Trailer
  • I have a couple of options for you depending on what kind of bumper your Vanleigh Beacon 5th Wheel has. If you have the 2" x 4" bumper, that is not a c channel, the easiest way to add a hitch is to use the Curt RV Bumper Hitch item # C19101. This hitch simply bolts to the bumper and provides you with a 3,500 lbs towing capacity and a 350 lbs maximum tongue weight. The other option is to install a universal hitch like the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch item # 13703. This hitch can be welded...

  • Will Using Furrion Fireplace with 12 Volt Power Converter Work as Well

  • Replacement for a Coleman Mach AC Unit
  • To replace your Coleman Mach AC unit, I recommend the Advent Air Replacement RV Air Conditioner for Coleman Setup 15,000 Btu - White item # ACCOL150 or item # ACCOL150B in black.

You can add a heat strip with the Electric Heat Strip for Advent Air RV Air Conditioners item # ACMHD. These units come with...
