  • How To Find Correct Replacement Anode Rod for Water Heater
  • The easiest way to find the correct anode rod for a water heater is to simply pull the old one out and measure. If you have an integrated anode rod and drain then you likely need the Camco RV Water Heater Anode Rod w/ Drain part # CAM11533 which is designed for Atwood water heaters. If you just have a standalone anode then the Camco RV Water Heater Anode Rod part # CAM11563 is another popular option which is used on Subruban water heaters.

  • Upgrading Blue Ox SwayPro From 550 lbs Tongue Weight to 750 lbs Tongue Weight
  • The Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution # BXW0556 you have is designed for total tongue weights from 350 lbs to 550 lbs, so it won't be effective for you. It will essentially be like you don't have a system on because it is not rated high enough for your tongue weight. So you will either need a higher rated hitch, or you can just replace the spring bars with the higher-rated option. For that you will simply need the Replacement Spring Bars for Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System...

  • What can I do to Decrease the Vertical Wobble on My Swagman Trailhead 4 # S63381?
  • I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your hitch pin on your Swagman Trailhead 4 # S63381. One of the troubleshooting methods that we recommend for the looseness issue is to wiggle the rack up and down as you install/tighten the hitch pin. This can help with tightening. Also, another route is to purchase the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer for 2" Hitches # e99007 for some additional support. I went ahead and attached a video of the stabilizer to give you an idea about...

  • Options for Sway Control on a Hitch That Cannot Use Weight Distribution
  • We definitely have some options available for your 2021 Audi Q8. With your trailer sitting right at 24 inches tall and the hitch sitting at 17 inches, I am going to suggest going with 7 inches of rise. The Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # C45448 will have the needed 7 inches of rise and will also be able to handle up to 12,000 pounds. The Curt 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # C40008 will then attach to this ball mount. You will also need a pin and clip, like the C21500, if you do not already have...

  • Replacement Brakes for 2021 KZ Escape E181RB
  • To find the correct replacement brakes you will need to identify your axle capacity. Based on the specs of the trailer I'm sure you have a 3,500 lb or 4,400 lb axle. The Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brakes # K23-462-463-00 you looked at will work if you have the 4,400 lb axle. If you have a 3,500 lb axle you can use the # AKEBRK-35-SA or if you want to stick with Dexter the # 23-468-469.

  • Recommended Electric Trailer Jack Upgrade for a 2022 Gulf Stream Ameri-Lite 189
  • The 2022 Gulf Stream Ameri-Lite 189 will accept pretty much any standard electric a-frame trailer jack. I recommend the Electric Trailer Jack part # 3370093500 as it will simply plug into the vehicle trailer connector and pull power from the battery. Therefore, you don't have to do any additional wiring so un-bolt the old jack and install the new with same hardware.

  • Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution For 2017 KZ Escape Travel Trailer
  • The Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution # BXW0550 would be the best Blue Ox system for your 2017 KZ Escape E191BH. It is rated for tongue weights of 350-550lbs and a maximum trailer capacity of 6,000lbs. Your Escape has a dry hitch weight of 446lbs and a maximum GVWR of 4,000lbs so it falls right in line with the manufacturer specifications. A 2" Hitch Ball # A-90 is required for your 2" coupler on the Escape.

  • Is Weight Distribution Needed for a Gulf Stream Ameri-Lite 189DD Travel Trailer
  • In certain cases, the vehicle manufacturer will require or recommend the use of a weight distribution system for trailers over a certain weight. The general rule we use, if the weight of the trailer is over half the weight of the vehicle then you will see benefits from a weight distribution system. That said, even if you don't fall into either of the above categories you can still use one and will see benefits from this. I recommend a unit with sway control built-in, the Equal-i-zer Weight...

  • Is It Possible To Power The Lippert Electric Trailer Jack Off Of A 7-Way Connection
  • The Lippert Electric Trailer Jack with Footplate # LC285318 doesn't come with 7-way plug to power the jack but you can just wire it to the 12v hot lead of your trailer's 7-way cable to power the jack off of the 7-way instead of the trailer battery. If you follow the 7-way cable on the trailer it will lead to the junction box where you can test for the 12v hot lead of the 7-way. Lippert also offers the Lippert Power Stance Electric Trailer Jack w/ 7-Way Plug # LC89VR, which comes with...
