  • Choosing Between the Triple and Quad Lippert SolidSteps for a 2019 Keystone Cougar 5th Wheel
  • The SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps part # LC791572 for triple and part # LC791574 for quad will both fit and work on level ground. That said, if you find yourself parking on uneven terrain then you'd need more of a buffer which the triple step would provide so that is what I recommend. In regards to the space between the ground and first step, this would vary each time depending on the incline or slope you are parked on so it's not a figure I can provide but it's really a matter of choosing...

  • Is There RV Cargo Carrier that Can Attach to Frame Instead of Bumper
  • While we don't have a way to mount the Bumper RV Cargo Carrier # e83YR to the rear of an RV without a bumper a similar solution that could work for you would be a frame mounted carrier that mounts under the RV like with the Lippert part # LC175180 which gives you two bins that mount on underside of the frame that measure 27-7/8" long x 17" wide x 8" tall.

  • How To Triple Tow with a 5th Wheel Trailer
  • The Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13701 will need to be mounted to the frame rails on your 2017 Keystone Cougar 5th Wheel Trailer, not the bumper. The bumper is not a suitable place to mount this hitch but the frame rails are. If you would like to use a bumper mounted trailer hitch and you have a 4" x 4" bumper that the manufacturer says can be used for towing then you can use the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver part # E-100 instead. However, the manufacturer is...

  • How to Raise Rear of 2017 Keystone Cougar 283RETWE
  • Typically upgrading your leaf springs implies increasing the capacity, but that isn't going to raise the back of your 5th wheel. The only difference new leaf springs would make is if your current leaf springs are worn out and flat. Installing new leaf springs would be a good idea either way if that is the case. To find a replacement you would need to measure the length of your current leaf springs and also know your axle capacity. The # e27SR you looked at is intended to replace a 26"...

  • Upgrading from 13,500 to 15,000 Btu RV AC on a 2020 Keystone 30RLS Half Ton
  • It really just depends on your setup, I recommend simply replacing the unit with one of the same size. This is because the manufacturer usually selects the best size based on the dimensions of the RV. That said, if you found the factory selected size to be lacking you can upgrade. However, you'll need to keep in mind the unit draws more power so you may need to check the existing wiring and circuits to be sure they are up for the task, the Advent Air Replacement RV Air Conditioner for Dometic...

  • Solera RV Slide-Out Awning Measurements for 2021 Keystone Cougar Half-Ton Fifth Wheel
  • For determining the proper size Solera Slider you need, to measure the total width of your slide room from the outside including the flange then add a minimum of 5" (2-1/2" each for the left/right side overhang). You can have greater than 2-1/2" overhang if you want, but it is suggested that you do not go any less. Since you have done so with resulting measurements of 59" and 149-1/2" you need an awning no less than 64" and 154-1/2". You can go beyond the overhang of 2.5" each side if you...

  • Recommended Spare Tire Holder & Cover For a 2022 Keystone Cougar Half-Ton 29RLI 5th Wheel RV Camper
  • I recommend using the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 on your 2022 Keystone Cougar Half-Ton 29RLI 5th wheel. The CE Smith Offset Spare Trailer Tire Carrier # CE27310G you found is designed to mount to A-Frame style trailers and will only allow for up to a 5 on 4-3/4" bolt pattern. Your Cougar uses a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern and there is not an exposed frame like on travel trailers. I see that your Cougar comes with a 2" receiver from the factory which will allow you to use the...
