• Will Rear View Safety Backup Camera System for 2011 Ford Escape Work with Compass and Temp Gauge
• The Rear View Safety Backup Camera System part # RVS-778718N will fit a 2011 Ford Escape and work great on this. That said, you'll lose the features you listed as these are not built into the mirror and we don't have an option with them. However, you will gain a nice color picture for use when reversing so you can see what's behind. In my opinion, the backup camera is far more valuable than the compass and temp gauge but I also under if you want to keep this. In which case, you'd need to...

• Will Installing an Oil Cooler on a Vehicle Void the Warranty of it
• An oil cooler like the # D15604 installed properly would not void the warranty of a vehicle, but you should still check with the manufacturer of the vehicle to get their stance on this type of modification first. When you install an aftermarket part on your vehicle like an oil cooler in this case, you are protected by the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act. This act states, in part, that unless the installation and the part caused a problem then the warranty cannot be voided. I recommend looking...

• Can Two Thule Hullavators Be Used on Roof Rack
• There is not a general restriction from Thule that says two Hullavator Kayak Carriers # TH898 can't be used on a Thule roof rack. As long as the crossbars on your Ford Escape have the required length for two sets and a sufficient weight capacity (if you have Thule, weight capacity isn't an issue) it can be done. With that being said you should also verify the capacity of the roof itself by referring to the owner's manual for your Escape. You also just need to make sure that the crossbars...

• Will the Hands Free Lift Gate Work on a 2021 Escape After Installing the Curt C23FR?
• The Curt # C23FR will indeed fit your 2021 Ford Escape SEL with hands free lift gate, but it will only be able to be used on either side of the receiver. I included an install video we did on a 2020 as well. The bike rack will depend on how many bikes you will be carrying, what type of bikes they are, and how you prefer to carry them. With that being said, the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR will carry four 35 pound bikes and is highly recommended.

• Should Install of Roadmaster Diode Tow Bar Wiring Kit for 2022 Ford Escape Wire as Combined
• The trailer wiring of your 2022 Winnebago View would already have the stop lights and turn signals combined on the same circuit. Since separate vehicles can be wired as combined and combined is the easiest that's how I would recommend installing the # RM-152-98146-7.

• Recommended Flat Towing Equipment For A 2021 Ford Escape PHEV
• You'll need to look in your owner's manual under the "Recreationally Towing Your Vehicle" section. On the online manual I found this to be page 321.

To flat tow your Escape you'll need a tow bar, base plate, tow bar wiring kit, braking system, and safety cables. I have the following recommendations for you listed below: Tow Bar: Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain,...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid
• The Curt # C23FR has been confirmed as a fit on the Hybrid models of the 2020 Escape. If you're going to be towing with your Escape you'll also need a wiring harness, ball mount and hitch ball. For a wiring harness, the Tekonsha # TE54FR is the only wiring harness we have confirmed for your 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid, but will do a good job. We've generally found that these Tekonsha harnesses are the most reliable wiring we offer and the powered converter really holds up well over time. This...

• Trailer Turn Signals Do Not Work With Draw-Tite Wiring Harness # 118251 on a 2008 Ford Escape
• The first step I would take is testing the 4-way connector from the Wiring Harness, # 118251, using a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 without the trailer connected. I have attached a video that shows how you can use the circuit tester to test the connector at the 2 minute and 42 second mark. If you have a signal at the connector, then that will tell you there is a short somewhere in the trailer wiring. You will want to make sure you have good ground connections and check the turn signal...

• Recommend Ball Mount For Draw-Tite 75751 On 2010 Ford Escape
• The recommended ball mount for your 2010 Ford Escape is the Draw-Tite Ball Mount, part # 2923. This ball mount works for most folks, but you can measure for yourself to see the exact rise or drop you need. When we installed the Draw-Tite on a 2011 Escape with stock tires, we found that the inside top of the receiver tube was 17 inches above the ground. To determine the rise or drop needed, measure the distance from the underside of the trailer coupler to the ground (while the trailer is...

• Propane Regulator Recommendation for Burner Stove and Water Heater on Pop Up Camper
• Something like the Camco Vertical 2-Stage Propane Regulator # CAM59313, rated for 160,000 Btu/Hr, would have enough "umph" to get you what you need, but you also have to check the rest of your propane lines and connections to make sure they are rated high enough as well. Popup campers typically don't have many propane connections which is likely why you need a separate tank system. While you're in the mindset of upgrading your system I do recommend converting your single 20# tank system...

• Replacement 7k Disc Brakes for Kaufman Trailer
• The 7,000 pound Kodiak disc brakes, part # K2HR79E, will fit your spindles but we've actually learned from Kodiak that their 7k disc brakes have issues with Kaufman trailers because of the wheels that Kaufman uses. Apparently, those wheels are made so that the center plate that has the mounting holes is welded on the inside of the wheel instead of the outside and it interferes with Kodiak's calipers. Technically, the brakes work on the trailer but you'll need different wheels. Another...
