  • Can I Patch My RV Roof Top Membrane Instead Of Replacing It
  • After speaking with out expert install team I would NOT recommend patching or replacing only part of the membrane. It will just set you up for future leaks and other problems where the seam will be. Since you will have to remove the trim around the unit to fix it anyway, it would be wise to just replace all of it. I'd rather do the job once and not have to redo it again for a long time. If you need to purchase a new membrane kit we have the Alpha Systems Superflex TPO RV Roof Membrane...

  • Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Will Not Stay Open with Handle Locked in Open Position
  • If your Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # RP30928 is not staying in the open, there could be something blocking the internals of your hitch. Usually this means there is some dirt and grime that got mixed up with the grease used to lubricate the mechanism. If you take just the head off and flip it over you might be able to see this more clearly. If you clean off the old grease and reapply some new grease that could be all you need.

  • Determining If Factory Shocks Can Be Reused After Installing Axle Over-Under Kit
  • If the upper shock mounts on your Jayco Designer 5th wheel are just bolted on then you can install the Dexter Over-Under Kit # K71-385-00 you were looking at and just relocate the upper bracket to a location where you have shock compressed half way when it is sitting under its own weight, and at an angle that matches the original positioning. Now if your upper shock mounting bracket is not bolted on it is possible that after installing the over-under kit you will still have the shock...

  • How To Carry Two Bikes On The Back of a 5th Wheel Trailer
  • For a trailer hitch that will fit your 2017 Forest River Cardinal 5th Wheel Trailer and will work with the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # KU84FR, I recommend using the Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs part # 13703. This trailer hitch is the most popular we have for you by far because it fits so many different Rvs and it is very easy to install compared to some of the others. It has a 350 lb tongue weight capacity which will be plenty for your Transfer V2 and Electra Path Townie/Trek...

  • Recommendations for Trailer Riding 10 Inches Low at Rear
  • With your camper running about 10 inches lower in the back, you have the tongue of your trailer riding too high for level. Not knowing if you have a travel trailer or a 5th wheel, I'll give you both solutions. If you have a travel trailer, you can get a ball mount with a deeper drop. I've attached an article to help you with the ball mount hitch height based on your vehicle and the trailer coupler height. You may want to consider using an adjustable mount to adjust the tongue down...

  • Recommended Camera System for 2021 Rockwood 5th Wheel and 2019 Factory Dash Monitor
  • The Custom Third Brake Light Camera for 4.2" Factory Monitor - Night Vision # 3460025 is the only system we have that allows the switch to let you select the camera feed on that monitor. I recommend using the Rear View Safety Trailer Tow Quick Connect Kit For Backup Camera Systems # RVS-213-613 and then the Rear View Safety Adapter Cord - 5 Pin Male to RCA Male # RVS-RCA5-AM. This will let you flip the switch to toggle between a factory backup camera on the truck and the camera at the...

  • Will the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit a 2014 Heartland Big Country 5th Wheel
  • We have not yet installed the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13703 on a 2014 Heartland Big Country but so long as the frame rails are spaced between 22" and 72" apart which they should then this hitch will work for you. It is very universal and there are few trailers it will not work on. It can either be bolted or welded to the frame rails. The main hitch body tube can be trimmed so the ends are flush with the frame brackets. After trimming, coat the bare metal with paint...

  • Leaf Spring Replacement for 2011 Cardinal 3515 Camper

The closest equalizer we have to what you need is the part # TREQ356 which measures 6-1/8 inches from bolt hole to hole front to back and vertically is 2-1/2 inches. If you replaced all or your equalizers with this it would fit and work well.

  • How To Determine The Correct Replacement Bulbs For An RV Vanity Light
  • If they're just larger rounded lightbulbs then you can get replacements at your local hardware store. You'll just want to look at the bulbs currently in your light or at the light fixture for the max wattage. If they're a smaller more specific bulb like the 921 bulbs included with the Gustafson 12V RV Vanity Light w/ Shades # 277-000324 then you would also need to look at the bulb for the code or at the fixture to determine the correct size. This may require removing the fixture form the...

  • Will the SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps Work On a Cardinal 5th Wheel With Step-Up
  • I do have an option but the only way to confirm fit of the SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps like part # LC698799 on a trailer with a step-up directly behind the door would be to test fit. I don't think fit would be able to be accurately determined beforehand by measuring. There is a bracket which positions the bulk of the step up from the door sill but it could still not be enough to overcome the step-up. Instead, I think a much better option would be the TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor...
