  • Height of Base Plate Mounting on 2020 Escape Hybrid
  • We can help with this. While we do not have a 2020 Ford Escape available for measuring the height of an installed Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit, # RM39FR, I have attached an image of a 2020 Ford Escape that has had this item installed so as to provide a visual reference for you to know where you should measure. I think the needed solution to your issue is that you need to use a high-low adapter on your motorhome. When your towed vehicle is connected, the tow bar should...

  • Roadmaster Invisibrake for 2021 Ford Escape Hybrid Titanium
  • Nope, you can use the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System, # RM-8700 with a 2021 Ford Escape Hybrid Titanium. I contacted the Tech Rep at Roadmaster to verify this for you. The Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Supplemental Braking System, # RM-9400 is currently their only supplemental braking system that can not be used on a hybrid vehicle or a car with active power-assist brakes. Please note the attached product review and installation videos.

  • RV 2-Handle Faucet in White
  • We have numerous faucets in white though not an exact match for # 277-000087. I have included a link to the white, dual-handle faucets that we have. Some are kitchen faucets, some are for bath tubs, and some are for bathroom sinks. We have a few additional items with a single handle such as # PF232221 for a bathroom sink faucet, # PF231241 for a kitchen faucet, and # PF231221 which is also for a kitchen faucet.

  • SAE Class S Tire Chain Recommendations for a 2008 Ford Escape with 235/70-16 Tires
  • We have numerous tire chain options for your 2008 Ford Escape with 235/70-16 tires. I have included a link to all of the tire chains that will fit your tire size for you to review. A Class S tire chain will need to have 37mm or less clearance above the chain and 15mm or less clearance out from the sidewall. The Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains, # PW2029C, that you have referenced will fit and are considered Class S chains as they require 15mm or more clearance. I also recommend adding rubber...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter - 1-1/4 to 2 for a 2010 escape
  • There are adapters available to increase a 1-1/4" to 2" hitch, the Curt Adapter - 1-1/4" to 2" - 6", # C45785. This adapter turns your 1-1/4" trailer hitch receiver into a 2" receiver so that you can mount a bike rack, cargo carrier or other 2" hitch accessory. Using this adapter will however reduce your hitch's weight capacity by 50 percent. Please verify the specs for your current hitch. If for example you have the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver (our lowest weight rated for example)...

  • Best Trailer Wiring Harness for 2007 Ford Escape without Tow Package
  • The best trailer wiring kit we offer for your 2007 Ford Escape that does not have the factory towing package is the Tekonsha part # 118426 as it has the most reliable converter box and the easiest install. The other options are a bit more prone to shorting out in the event there is a trailer wiring short.

  • Are There Clip-On Tow Mirrors Available for a 2010 Ford Escape
  • I recommend using a universal fit towing mirror. A custom fit mirror is not yet available for your 2010 Ford Escape. Instead, I would use the Universal Clip-On Towing Mirror (Each), # KS3891. This mirror straps to your existing mirror housing and will not interfere with the visibility of the factory mirror. I have included a link to a video review of this mirror below. You might also be interested in the CIPA Deluxe Door Mount Mirror, # 11650. This is also a universal fit item that mounts...

  • Availability of Class II Weight Distribution Hitch on 2012 Ford Escape
  • Weight distribution cannot be used with a Class II trailer hitch. Class II trailer hitches are not built for or tested for use with weight distribution so manufacturers do not make any systems that will fit a Class II trailer hitch. What you can do is replace the Class II hitch with a Class III trailer hitch, like # 13650, for your 2012 Ford Escape. This hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 350 pounds so the 200 pound tongue weight. But be sure to consult your vehicle owners manual to...

  • We carry a variety of trunk bike racks that fit both the 2013 and 2014 Ford Escape Titanium models. However, the largest carrying capacity is 3 bikes. One of our most popular 3 bike racks is the Yakima Fullback Bike Rack, # Y02633. The FullBack is a light weight rack that will mount to the rear of both the 2013 and 2014 Escapes. The rack uses 4 cam-buckle style straps and a padded upper cross bar for protection against the Escapes rear window. The only issue with using this or most trunk...

  • Recommended Clip-On Towing Mirrors for 2003 Ford Escape
  • For some vehicles we offer custom-fit towing mirrors like the CIPA # CM11800 that fit the Ford F-150, but for your 2003 Escape since no custom mirrors are offered you can use a cost-effective clip-on universal towing mirror. K-Source offers their # KS3891 which is an extra-large adjustable clip-on mirror. CIPA also offers a high-value mirror # 7070. Both of these work on driver's and passenger's mirrors and are sold individually. A video for each mirror is linked to help illustrate their...

  • Recommended Base Plates for Flat Towing 2010 Ford Escape Behind Motorhome
  • We can get your 2010 Escape all set for flat towing. The essential items needed for flat towing include a tow bar, safety cables, a wiring/lighting solution, base plates and a supplementary braking system. A high/low adapter is also often required to keep the tow bar level when hitched to your motorhome. First, for base plates I suggest the Blue Ox # BX2605 that you referenced. You can use the Alpha tow bar # BX7380 and this is a great choice since it includes the safety cables. For a...

  • What Amp Breaker Should be Used When Installing Curt Echo Mobile Brake Controller
  • You should change your breaker to a 30 amp breaker when installing the Curt Echo Mobile # C51180. 40 amps is good for protecting more than two axles but if you have a tandem axle trailer you'd want the breaker to trip at draws above 30 amps so that it protects the wiring/circuits.

  • Replacement Water Inlet Cap with Gasket Or Seal
  • I'm not sure of the exact reason why some of these don't have gaskets and I'm not aware of any reason why they don't include them; none of the caps we carry come with an actual gasket but there are some options that provide a better seal than others. I recommend checking out the Replacement RV Gravity Fill Spout with Plastic Cap - Black # 372222-224BK-A, which doesn't have a gasket but does create a seal on your spout using screw in fittings that will keep debris and outside water from...

  • Are Tail Light Connectors Only Available By Themselves for Trailer Wiring on a 2013 Ford Escape
  • The connectors from any trailer wiring harness are not available by themselves. You could buy the harness and cut them off but if you were to buy it you might as well install that one and return the hardwire harness to the dealer. Or I could help you install the hardwire harness. It is actually pretty easy. You just need a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 to test the vehicle tail light wiring. On the driver side you will need to find the left turn signal wire and the running light wire....

  • Availability of Hitch Covers to Fit 2012 Ford Escape
  • The two hitch receiver sizes that fit on a 2012 Ford Escape are 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch. We carry hitch covers that fit both sizes. I am including a link to a few of the Ford branded hitch covers in both sizes. We offer the Brophy Hitch Adapter, part # HTAD, that will adapt a 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver size to a 2 inch hitch receiver size. With this adapter installed in your 1-1/4 inch hitch it will allow you to use 2 inch hitch covers. You will not want to tow using the # HTAD adapter,...

  • 7-Way and Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2012 Ford Escape with 4-Way
  • For your 2012 Ford Escape that has a 4-way wiring harness currently you would only need the part # ETBC7 plus a brake controller. The # ETBC7 comes with everything needed to convert the 4-way to a 7-way plus install a brake controller. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling proportional brake controller because of how well it works...
