  • Replacement Door Latch Options For A Utility Trailer
  • We do have a bunch of different replacement locks for you, however in order to determine which replacement is the correct replacement, I'll need to know how thick your door is, and the dimensions of your existing lock. For example, the Bauer Products Rotary Latch for Horse and Utility Trailers # BA85FR fits doors that are 1-1/2" thick, and measures 7-3/8" long, 1-7/8" wide, and 7-3/4" tall, and requires a cutout of 6" tall and 4" wide. If you let me know what you need specifically, I'd...

  • Which Husky Bracket Kit Do I Need to Install Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Bed Rails on 1990 Ford F-350
  • The hardware for a Husky fifth wheel hitch on your 1990 Ford F-350 will depend on the type of rails you have. If you have 4-bolt rails you will need # HT31563. If your rails are 10-bolt then # HT31622 is the kit you need. Both kits include the brackets and mounting hardware for Husky brand base rails. It's not recommended to mix the brands of brackets and rails. If your rails aren't Husky then let me know what brand you have and I'll recommend the appropriate bracket kit. If you also...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1991 Ford F-150
  • Since the only confirmed base plate kit that we offer for your 1991 Ford F-150 is the Roadmaster Classic Base Plate Kit # 414-1 has fixed arms, there really isn't anything else that can safely be used to flat tow your F-150. Keep in mind that you will also need a tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and most likely a high-low adapter. The Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 and the RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables # RM-643 will...

  • How to Tow a Trailer that has a 5-Way Trailer Connector with 1984 Ford F-250 that has a 4-Way
  • Since your 1984 Ford F-250 already has as 4-way flat trailer connector all you need for the connector is an adapter # 47515. Your existing 4-way will plug into the adapter and the additional blue wire will need to be tapped into the truck's reverse light circuit using the included quick splice wire connector. I've linked a video of the adapter being installed onto a Nissan Murano. The vehicle is completely different but the process is still the same.

  • Parts Needed to Tow Horse Trailer Behind Truck with Truck Bed Camper Extending 41 Past Bumper
  • To start, if you don't already have a Torklift dual hitch like the # TLF1000 on your 1988 Ford F-350 you will need to install one. This will allow you to use the TorkLift SuperTruss Hitch Extension for SuperHitch Trailer Hitch Receivers - 48" Long # TLE1548 to get enough clearance from your Lance camper to tow a horse trailer. The SuperTruss has a 600-lbs tongue weight/6000-lbs gross towing weight limit unless you were to use a weight distribution hitch, which would get you to 1,200-lbs/12,000-lbs...

  • What Trailer Wiring Harness Should I Put On My 1991 Ford F-250

To make the 7-way to a 5-flat plug so you can use your boat trailer, The Adapter 7 Pole to 5 Pole Flat - Molded # A75TB will work. I have attached a review video link below.

  • Replacement Roof Vent Cover for a 1991 Ford ECO Fourwinds RV
  • I've linked our complete selections of roof vent lids and roof vent covers for you to take a look at. If you're looking for a cover, like part # DMC38FR, you need to choose one that fits the model of vents you have. If you're looking for a lid you need to measure your current vents and take a look at the hinge it uses. Most likely the vents you have are roughly 14 by 14 inches which is the standard size. There are several different hinge types which I've attached a picture to show....

  • In-Bed 7-Way Wiring Recommendation for a Camper on a 1987 Ford F-250
  • The harness you need for your 1987 Ford F-250 is the 7-Way Pre-Wired Car Connector, 7' Lead # 20023. With this particular harness, it needs to be installed inside the bed as opposed to the rear of your truck. Since your truck is an older model, the wiring on your driver's side of your truck is most likely different than newer models. The harness is also a bit different than newer harnesses that are made specifically for 5th-wheel wiring as well. I went ahead and attached a video of the...

  • Battery Charger for a Trailer Breakaway Kit Battery
  • Generally a breakaway kit is installed mounting the battery to the frame but it doesn't have to be. We carry a few different chargers separate from the kits themselves and I've linked our selection for you. The most popular of the chargers if the Hopkins # 20011. To install the Hopkins charger the black wire connects to the power coming from the vehicle battery, the red wire to the breakaway kit's battery, and the blue to the pin. I've also linked a video for you.
