How To Convert Euro 7-Pin to US 4-Way Trailer Connector
The brake and turn signal circuits on a Euro 7-Pin Trailer Connector are separate whereas the brake and turn signals circuits on a US 4-Way Trailer Connector are combined. Therefore, you'll need a converter if adapting from the 7-Pin to a 4-Way, the Roadmaster Brite-Lite Wiring Converter part # RM-732 is what I recommend. This will wire directly into a 4-Way like the 4-Pole Hardwire Kit with Circuit Tester part #18252.which comes with a circuit tester that you will need as you can't simply...

Lock For Original Kuat Transfer Bike Rack
There is an option for a hitch lock for the original (manufactured before 2021) Kuat Transfer bike rack that you can use other than the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for Kuat Transfer Bike Racks # HLT. The other option is a cable and hitch lock combination, with the hitch lock securing to the Transfer's existing hitch pin, and there is an option for 2 cable locks and a hitch lock, or 1 cable lock and a hitch lock: - 1 Cable Lock: Cable Lock and Hitch Lock for Kuat Transfer # # ATSCLK11011 -...

Brake Controller Wiring for a 2003 Land Rover Defender SW
The Universal Brake Control Wiring Adapter Ford, Land Rover, Lincoln, Mercury, part # 3035-S, will fit Land Rover LR3 and Range Rover within the model years 2005-2007. We do not have a plug-in adapter for the 2003 Land Rover Defender. That would lead me to believe that there is not a port under the dash of that year, make and model of vehicle. You will need to hardwire your Land Rover to accommodate a brake controller. You can do so with the Brake Controller 7 & 4 Way Installation Kit,...

Recommended Sidewind A-Frame Trailer Jack That Can Be Operated With A Drill
At this time the Trailer Valet JXC Trailer Jack w/ Footplate and Drill Powered Option - A-Frame - Sidewind - 5K # TV94FR you were looking at is the only sidewind a-frame trailer jack that can be operated with a drill using the included attachment. The # TV94FR is a great option for your EPro Travel Trailer weighing 4500lbs as it has a 3500lb lift capacity, and since it is only lifting the tongue weight of the trailer will operate very easily and be reliable for years to come. I included...

Curt Echo Brake Controller for 2021 Land Rover Defender
Yes, if your 2021 Land Rover Defender has the tow package it will be behind and above the brake pedal. I recommend the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller item # C51180. The Echo plugs directly into your Land Rover's 7-Way connector at the rear of the vehicle and has the same functions of a wired brake controller without the hassle and inconvenience of tapping into your Defender's wiring harness. The bluetooth-enabled brake controller wirelessly connects to your smartphone, allowing...

Would Pro Series Cargo Carrier # 63153 Allow Rear Door to Open
If the distance from the top of the hitch opening on your Land Rover to the bottom of the rear door edge is more than 8 inches the Pro Series cargo carrier part # 63153 that you referenced would still be able to open with it installed as this has a height of 8 inches from top of shank to top of carrier rails.

Recommended Roof Rack for a 2023 Land Rover Defender w/ Tracks Using a Hullavator
I would be happy to list out the Thule roof rack, with Evo crossbars, you will need to use a Thule Hullavator item # TH898 on 2023 Land Rover Defender but I have no idea what crossbars or rails you currently have. It doesn't look like you ordered them from us so I can't accurately answer whether or not they'll work on your Land Rover. This roof rack requires your Land Rover to have tracks preinstalled on the roof from the dealer. We don't have an option for a bare roof. Thule WingBar...

Locating Replacement Hubs for European Trailer
From what I could find there shouldn't be any difference between a European wheel bolt pattern and a US pattern. With that being said, you can verify this by measuring your existing bolt pattern to make sure it matches up to what we have available. I have attached a great article that explains exactly how to do this. In order to pick out the correct replacement hubs for your trailer, I recommend pulling an assembly and checking for the bearing numbers that are used. These numbers should...

Hitch Extender to be Used with Thule Bike Rack to Help Clear Spare of Vehicle
The best hitch extender will be the shortest one that still gives you the clearance you need. Since it sounds like you only need a little more clearance our shortest option which is the Brophy part # HE06 which is an extension that is 7 inches long. You should note that hitch extenders cut the capacity of the hitch they are installed in by 50 percent though.

Parts Needed to Complete Towing Package on 2020 Land Rover Defender D110 with Factory Towing
Unfortunately we do not have towing components like a hitch or wiring that have been confirmed to fit on the 2020 Land Rover Defender yet, but if your vehicle came with the towing package included you should already have a hitch and wiring present though. If you actually just need a ball mount and hitch ball that fit into the receiver, then it looks like the D110 comes with a 2" receiver. For that I recommend starting with something like the Curt # C45230, which can be used for trailers...

Can Reese Pro Series RB2 Weight Distribution Head 58333 Fit Shank RP3214
Yes the weight distribution head part # 58333 does fit the weight distribution shank part # RP3214 that you also mentioned. It will still work as a ball mount without the spring bars connected as well. This would not affect any towing capacities either.

Recommended Bike Rack for Electric Bike on 2023 Land Rover Defender
I would love to give you an exact recommendation on a bike rack that would work for you but unfortunately I cannot as there are simply too many variables. For example, there are many different types of Pedego Bikes and there isn't one rack that works with them all. The rear spare tire is also going to be an issue, you'd need to measure the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outside edge of the spare tire. From there, you can compare this to the dimensions we have on a...

Recommended Extended Ball Mount for 2022 Land Rover Defender
The longest fixed ball mount we offer is the Hidden Hitch Ball Mount part # 80232 which measures 15-3/4" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole. Please note, it does have a 6,000 lb weight capacity and can be used in either the rise position at 3/4" or drop position at 2". In order to add a 2" hitch ball you'd need the part # C40004. I have attached for you below a list of other possible options with long shanks if the above won't work.

Adapter Availability for Converting European Trailer Wiring for Use with 4-Pole U.S. Connector
We do offer a range of wiring adapters for U.S. standard trailer wiring to convert from, for example, 7-way to 4-way, 5-way or 6-way wiring. These various connector types are shown in the linked article on trailer wiring. However, European trailer wiring does not combine multiple functions on one wire like U.S. wiring. U.S. 4-pole trailer connectors combine stop and turn signals on one wire; the yellow wire carries stop and left turn; the green wire carries stop and right turn. Since your...

Hitch Extender to Use with etrailer Cargo Carrier # e89974
You didn't say how long of a hitch extender you need but the part # HE06 is 7 inches long and would help you get additional clearance for the etrailer cargo carrier part # e98874 to fold up like you are wanting. You should note that when you use a hitch extender like this you end up cutting the capacity of the hitch by 50 percent due to the increased leverage and movement created.
