  • Can a 5th Wheel Trailer with Sidewinder by Towed with No Wedge or Lock Out Bolts Installed
  • The wedge is required to prevent a pivot point at the 5th wheel hitch jaws. The function of a Sidewinder is to move that pivot point back further on the truck which requires blocking the pivot point at the hitch. The trailer should not be towed without the wedge in place unless the lock out bolts are installed to lock out the pivot point at the Sidewinder. The universal wedge that is supposed to come with the 5th Airborne with Sidewinder, # ST400-5AS16K, is actually # 201100. There are...

  • Is Drilling Required for Installation of the Curt Hitch # C11202 on a 2011 Nissan Cube
  • The only drilling need for the receiver hitche # C11202 available for the 2011 Nissan Cube will be enlarging an existing hole in the driver side frame rail. I attached installation instructions for this Curt Hitch, # 11202. To drill this hole for the Curt hitch, you could drill two smaller holes next to the hole that needs to be enlarged in the frame rail to allow access of the hardware for this hitch. Some items you may be interested in to complete your towing setup are the Drawbar,...

  • Parts to Install Rhino-Rack HD Roof Rack to 2013 Nissan Cube
  • The 54" Rhino-Rack HD Bars # RB1375 will fit your 2013 Nissan Cube but you also need the 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKHD and the Fit Kit # DK263. The legs are what hold your crossbars and the fit kit together while the fit kit secures the whole assembly to your vehicle using clamps for the door jambs. If you check out the standard review video you can get an idea of how this will install but it's important to follow the instructions you receive with your parts as well.

  • How Does Breakaway Function Work With Wireless Brake Controller
  • When using a wireless brake controller like the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 the breakaway function is still operated by the breakaway kit and not the brake controller. A brake controller and breakaway kit are 2 separate components although they both work with the trailer brakes, just differently. The Echo brake controller is designed to apply the brakes to the trailer when the brakes are applied to the tow vehicle and help bring both to a safe stop. Breakaway...

  • Troubleshooting Cruise Control Not Working On a 2011 Nissan Cube After 4-Way Installation
  • The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118492 should not affect the ability of your 2011 Nissan Cube's cruise control. As the harness only connects with 2 connectors you will want to simply remove the harness to confirm the issue is only caused by the harness. If you find the system still does not function properly there may have been an overload on one of the cruise control circuits which is causing the issue. If the cruise control works as normal there may be an manufacturer error in the...

  • Trunk-Mount Bike Rack for 2013 Nissan Cube
  • The two trunk-mount bike racks I prefer for the 2013 Nissan Cube are the Hollywood Racks 2-bike # HRF2 and the similar 3-bike versions # HRF2-3. Both feature an arched frame design that will put less stress on the more delicate parts of the vehicle. Please refer to the linked video for more information.

  • Recommended Bike Rack to Carry a Day 6 Bike on a 2012 Nissan Cube
  • Trunk mounted bike racks for your vehicle are not strong enough to carry your Day 6 bikes on the back of your 2012 Nissan Cube, so you will need to use a hitch mounted bike rack for your needs. Nissan does not recommend towing nor installing a hitch on your vehicle, but we do offer trailer hitches to fit your vehicle if you want to use a hitch mounted rack. Many Nissan Cube owners want a trailer hitch to be able to carry bike racks and cargo carriers which is why we offer trailer hitches...

  • Could Scissor Jack be Used on Motorhome
  • Using scissor jacks on a motorhome generally aren't used but I don't see why it wouldn't work for you. You'd just have to deal with the manual operation of four of the # UF48-979006 every time you park. If you are okay with that there's no reason it would work for you as the capacity needed is there.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2011 Nissan Cube
  • The Curt trailer hitch # C11202 has a gross trailer weight capacity of 2,000 pounds and 200 pound tongue weight capacity. For a trailer that weighs 400 pounds total the tongue weight would only be 40 to 60 pounds so you are well within the capacities of the hitch. Check the vehicle owner's manual for the vehicle capacity (if listed) and go by whichever is lower; the hitch or the vehicle. You will only need to enlarge holes in the frame to install the hitch, not drill new ones. Since...

  • Does Curt Trailer Hitch for 2010 Nissan Cube Require Stabilizing Strap for Bike Rack
  • I can confirm for you that the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11202 for your 2010 Nissan Cube does require a stabilizing strap for use with a bike rack item # 18050. So you can use this rack and hitch combo on your Nissan. The Thule Doubletrack Pro XT Bike Rack # TH92BJ is a great choice for a bike rack because it offers a ton of value. It is a premium rack from a company, Thule, known for their quality but at a great price relative to other racks.

  • Difficulty Removing Old Relay For Towing Package On 2010 Nissan Cube
  • Typically, you can just pull the relays out. From my research I read that they can be in difficult to reach areas. If pulling it out does not seem to be working you may want to use a flat plastic tool to pry the relay up until it is loose enough to remove. You want to use caution and make sure you do not damage the relay or area around the relay in the panel.

  • Best Bike Rack that Allows For Easy Loading Of the Bikes and Into The Hitch
  • It sounds like you may have an electric Sun bike Jo. If you have an electric bike I recommend to use the Thule EasyFold XT 2 E-Bike Platform Rack part # TH903202 because of the included ramp and easy folding feature. The rack does weigh 45 lbs but it can be folded in half and is designed with a handle so you can easily carry it to the vehicle. Once you have the bike rack in the hitch you can simply walk the bike up the included ramp onto the rack instead of lifting the bike. The Thule...

  • We do have trailer hitch options for your 2009 Nissa Cube, but the Hidden Hitch Class III Trailer Hitch, # 87538, that you referenced will not fit on your vehicle.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Brake Lights Not Functioning after Wiring Harness Install 2011 Nissan Cube
  • The first thing you will want to do is test the 4-way of the # 118492 that you installed with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993. See the video I attached to see how this is done. This will tell you if the problem is on the vehicle side or trailer side of the wiring. I suspect the problem is on the trailer and it is that the grounds of the light assemblies aren't strong enough. Check to make sure the assemblies are grounded to a clean metal surface. Do the same for the main ground wire...

  • Identifying Wiring on 2010 Nissan Cube for Installation of Curt Tail Light Converter # C56175
  • Often vehicle wiring colors are consistent to allow color-for-color connection of items such as the Curt Taillight Converter, part # C56175. However, this is not always the case. The best way to conclusively identify the lighting function carried on each wire is to use a circuit tester such as # PTW2993. I have provided a link to a video showing how to use the circuit tester to determine what lighting function is carried on each wire of the vehicle harness. This process is made easier...

  • I took a look at the install instructions for the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11202 for your 2010 Nissan Cube.

According to Curt, the install should take a novice around 60 minutes to complete. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver has a 200 lb tongue weight capacity therefore so long as the vehicle...
