  • Recommended 12" x 2" Self-Adjusting Brake Assemblies With 5 Bolt Brake Flange Pattern
  • The Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 12" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 5.2K to 7K # AKEBRK-7-SA is exactly what you are looking for. These brake assemblies fit a 12" x 2" drum and have a 5 bolt mounting flange pattern. They are self-adjusting brakes that work for 5,200-7,000 lb axles. Nothing needs to be done as far as the installation is concerned when switching from manual-adjust to self-adjust. You will need to "break them in" just like you would any new brakes. The...

  • How To Choose Correct Replacement Dexter Nev-R-Lube Bearings
  • We currently offer the Dexter Nev-R-Lube Bearings in a few different sizes, 35MM part # 31-72-3, 42MM part # 31-73-3, or 50MM part # 31-71-3. Please note, these are referring to the inner diameter of the bearing. In order to find the correct one you can either pull apart the hub and measure, reach out to the axle manufacturer with the serial number, or call the trailer dealer. If you would like, I can reach out to the axle manufacturer for you if you provide the serial number. I cannot...

  • Should Trailer Brakes Hum While the Breakaway Pin Is Pulled
  • Yes, when the pin on a breakaway system like the Hopkins Engager Push-To-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit part # 20099 is pulled that then sends full 12 volt power to the trailer brakes. When power is sent to an electric braking assembly you may very well hear sort of a humming noise and this is not uncommon at all nor it is an indication that a problem is present.

  • Can Cables Be Extended on NOCO GENPRO On-Board Battery Charger
  • Yes, you can extend the cables with the eyelets on the # NOC44FR. The 14AWG leads can be extended an additional 10' without modifying or moving the fuse. The fuse must remain in place and the additional length must be added after the fuse. Assuming you follow these guidelines you will not void the warranty.

  • Recommended Lug Nuts for Aluminum Wheels on 2012 Classic Limited Trailer
  • The correct size lug nut you need for your 2012 Classic Limited Trailer will depend on what type of wheel bolts you have on the trailer hubs. I recommend taking a few quick measurements on your existing lut nut and wheel bolt to verify the correct replacement. If your wheel bolts have a 1/2 inch diameter with 20 threads per inch, the Americana Wheel Lug Nut # AM90049 should work well. These longer lug nuts are usually needed with aluminum wheels that have a deeper middle section. I have...

  • For everything but the shank that comes with the Reese Weight Distribution System w Shank # RP66541 you just need the part # RP66021. Be sure you have a hitch ball with a 1-1/4" diameter shank like what we see with the 2" hitch ball # A-90 and the 2-5/16" hitch ball # 19286.

  • Recommended Lug Nuts for Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-201-5
  • The Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-201-5 referenced in your question will use standard 1/2 inch thread lug nuts like the CE Smith # CE11051. This particular trailer hub and drum assembly is designed for 5,200 pound axles and uses the # 25580 inner bearing and # LM67048 outer bearing, which are not included. I have attached a short video demonstration on this hub that you can also check out.

  • Go Power Solar Controller That is Compatible With Lithium Batteries
  • There isn't a setting you can use on your Go Power solar controller for lithium batteries if it is not compatible, so you will need to upgrade your solar controller to one that is compatible. I'm not sure which solar power system you currently have, so I'll list out the options for solar controllers from Go Power, and each of these are compatible with lithium batteries. - 10 Amp: Go Power PWM Solar Charge Controller with USB Port - LCD Digital Display - 12V # 34280503 - 30 Amp: Go Power...

  • Replacement Steel Wheels For A 1976 Airstream Tradewind
  • There isn't a guide to tell us exactly what was on your 1976 Airstream Tradewind so you'll want to doublecheck the measurements just to be sure. For a 15" x 6" steel wheel with a 6 lug pattern and 1/2" wheel studs you could use the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20539. This wheel has a 6 on 5-1/2 wheel bolt pattern, which is pretty standard, but you'll want to verify the bolt pattern you have just incase the hubs have something unusual. You can measure from the center of one of...

  • Recommended Replacement For A Marshall 605H LP Regulator
  • The valve in your regulator is likely going bad and allowing the gas leak so you would want to replace it. I recommend swapping it out with the JR Products Compact Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator # 37207-31525. This has 1/4" FIF inlets and a 3/8" FPT outlet.

  • Recommended Wiring and Camera for 2007 Airstream Travel Trailer
  • The prewired observation systems tap into that same circuit so that isn't an issue. I don't believe that the 2007 Airstream travel trailers had any prewired options. That model year is before that was common practice. I recommend tapping into that clearance light circuit and using the Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System w/ Night Vision - Rear Mount - 5" Screen # FOS05TASF. If you want extra cameras you can use the Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Observation Camera System w/...
