Absolutely, I am here to help! The max carrying weight of a hitch is how much the hitch can pull if you were to just hook your trailer up to the hitch and not use a weight distribution system.
The Gross Trailer Weight or GTW of this hitch is 5,000 lbs. and the Tongue Weight or TW of this hitch is 500 lbs. The GTW is how much weight the hitch can pull behind it and the tongue weight is the downward force that the tongue of the trailer applies to the hitch of the tow vehicle. So the hitch... view full answer...
The answer to your question will depend on both the bolt pattern of your current hubs and how much clearance you currently have between the tire and the underside of your fenders.
If you have a 4 on 4 bolt pattern, a 12 inch wheel is as large as you'll be able to go. A 5.30-12 wheel/tire like # TT53012C is 22 inches in diameter, versus 20 inches for the 4.80-12. Going with a 2 inch larger in diameter tire would move the tire 1 inch closer to the underside of the fender. You want to see... view full answer...
Some vehicles are designed with a hole in the bumper for attaching a ball for towing. You need to check your owners manual or with your dealer for the towing capacity of your Dakota. You should also check with the Dealer to see if the bumper on your Dakota is rated for towing. I have attached an FAQ article that has tips on how to tow a trailer.
You will need to measure the hole in the bumper to make certain you have the correct diameter shank on the ball you wish to attach. If you have... view full answer...
4 Wheel drive models of the 2010 Dodge Dakota can be flat towed, if the transfer case is put in Neutral. Rear wheel driver models would need to be towed on a flat bed trailer.
In order to flat tow your Dakota, you'll need a base plate kit like # 52276-1, a tow bar like the Falcon All Terrain, part # RM-522 and # RM-643 safety cables.
You'll also need a flat towing wiring setup like # RM-152-98146-7, a # RM-766 battery disconnect and a supplemental braking system like the Blue Ox Patriot... view full answer...
The Craftec Hatch-Style Tonneau Cover, part # 352128 is a one-piece lightweight tonneau cover, and has two hidden latches at the rear so you will not have a problem with it flapping in the wind when installed on your 2000 Dakota.
The tonneau cover also has a dense foam weatherstrip attached to the bottom of the cover to help keep water out and also help protect the paint finish on your truck. I recommend making sure you keep the weatherstrip cleaned and possibly use something like Armor... view full answer...
The Hopkins 12-Volt Socket Assembly, part # HM55125, is weatherproof construction, which means it will protect the contents from the rain and other bad weather conditions. It is not waterproof because to be considered as waterproof the socket would have to be submerged under water and have no leakage into the inside. view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at Trailair and from your serial number we were able to determine that your trailer came with a 1621 HD pin box which is a long pin box style. I was unable to obtain the exact part number for your Trailair pin box but from the picture that you provided, it looks as though someone may have replaced the original long style pin box with a medium style. In order to determine this you will just need to take a quick measurement from the back row of bolts to the center... view full answer...
I recommend installing a 4 way flat like the Hopkins Endurance, # HM48030, on the back of your RV. This will allow you to plug directly into the Roadmaster Universal Wiring Kit, # RM-154.
Since your RV is already wired for a trailer connector, you will not need to use the Roadmaster Brite-Lite Wiring Converter, # RM-732. view full answer...

How much your 2008 Dodge Dakota can tow also depends on its model, cab size, and wheelbase, so it's not possible for me to answer what your towing capacity without all the information. A call to your local Dodge dealer should clarify it though.
To tow use Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13230 and Vehicle Wiring Harness # C55381. view full answer...
The Tow-Rax Wall Mounted Aluminum Folding Table # TWSP45HFTA does not lock in the folded position. I confirmed this with my contact at Tow-Rax. It does lock in the up position.

The Curt trailer wiring harness # 55323 and the TowReady harness # 118323 that you referenced both use the same 3-pole connectors as those shown in your photo. These connectors fit the taillights on your Dakota. They also fit various other models of Dodge, Chrysler, Plymouth and Mitsubishi. With these connectors inserted the vehicle lighting signals will reach the 4-pole trailer connector to power trailer lights.
According to my contacts at these companies the connectors are almost surely... view full answer...
