Expert Answers about Ford F-53


  • Does the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes Require a DMV Registration
  • A tow dolly like the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes part # RM-2050-1 does not need to be registered in the majority of states as they are designed exclusively for transporting a vehicle which falls outside the parameters for registration requirements in most states. That said, we cannot speak generally about every state nor do we have a list of all state's registration requirements therefore, in order to be sure your state does not require a tow dolly to be registered you must...

  • Battery Life of Tire Pressure Sensors Used on TST-507-INT-6-C Tire Pressure Monitoring System
  • According to TST, once the repeater is installed, the sensors included with the # TST-507-INT-6-C will work within 5 minutes. My representative tells me that the expected battery life is 3-5 years, and once the battery goes dead, the sensor itself must be replaced as the batteries are indeed sealed and aren't replaceable.

  • Current Capacity of Hopkins 12-Volt Power Socket with Power Wire and Fuse Assembly HM55115
  • The Hopkins 12-Volt Power Socket # HM55115 uses a wire gauge that can safely support up to 20-amps and that is the value of fuse supplied with this kit. I can't recommend using a 30-amp fuse in this item. What I can suggest is making your own 30-amp capable outlet by using a 30-amp auto reset circuit breaker # PK54530, 12V power outlet part # DG6112VP and 10-gauge duplex wire # 10-2-1. You'll also need some ring terminal connectors like # 44-5310A, push-on connectors like # DW05709-1...

  • Is Trailer Breakaway Kit Required for Tow dolly
  • You do ask a good question. A breakaway system is not required when using the Roadmaster Tow Dolly. And yes, there would definitely be a risk of the towed car jackknifing if the dolly brakes engaged after the trailer decoupling. The rear of the towed car could come around sideways and make a bad situation worse. My technical contact at Roadmaster confirmed that the above information is correct.

  • What Do I Do With The Factory Jounce When Installing Air Lift AL57344 On A 2012 Ford F-53?
  • The factory jounce bumpers will not be reinstalled when installing the Air Lift # AL57344 on a 2012 F-53 Newmar Baystar. So there really is no need to save the factory jounce. Sometimes if there is a bolt holding the factory jounce on you will want to keep the bolt. The only reason to keep the factory jounce would be if you ever needed to remove the air bags for some reason.

  • Recommended Longer Ball Mount for a Larger Turning Clearance on a 2013 Ford F-53
  • I do have a longer ball mount for you. The Curt Ball Mount with a 4" Rise and 6" Drop # D-28 is 14-1/4" long from the center of the pin hole to the center of the ball hole. This ball mount will fit in 2" hitch receivers and is rated for up to 6,000 lbs GTW and 600 lbs. TW. I attached a review video of this ball mount you may want to check out. If you are looking for a longer ball mount that is rated for more weight, you will only be able to use a ball mount that extends 12" or 13" long...

  • How to Get 12 Volts of Power Run to a 7 Way on a 2020 Jayco Alante
  • If you do not have 12 volts of power at the rear of your Jayco Alante 27A, you will need to run power to the black wire of something like the Hopkins Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole # 37185, or the 2 o'clock port. This should be done with the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Motorhomes # RM-156-75, which includes an in-line circuit breaker. If you also need to get power to the battery tender on your 2013 Honda CRV, the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25...

  • Is the Weight Capacity of the Vehicle Jack Stands Per Jack or for the Pair
  • The Vehicle Jack Stands part # PTW41021 have a combined 4,000 lb weight capacity. These are great for cars or light duty trucks and vans but they won't be safe for anything much larger.

  • Front Mounted Receiver Option for 1990 Motorhome on Ford F-53 Chassis
  • Unfortunately, we don't offer a front mount receiver for the Ford F-53 chassis. Your best bet would be to use the rear hitch, if possible. If you're flat towing a vehicle, you can use a dual hitch adapter like # RM-077-6 which has a 400 lb tongue weight capacity, but be aware that the adapter is NOT designed for towing a trailer, only for flat towing a vehicle which doesn't apply any tongue load to the hitch. If that wouldn't work for you, your best bet would be to check into having a...

  • Effect of Steering Stabilizers on 2015 Thor Windsport Based on Ford F-53 Chassis
  • Installation of a steering stabilizer like the Roadmaster # RM-RBK22-RSSA or the Blue Ox TruCenter Steering Stabilizer TC35160-5804 is not especially complicated and both are a confirmed fit on your 2014 F-53 based MH. A vehicle lift or below-ground grease pit will certainly make the process easier but this may not always be absolutely required. The benefits in handling from a stabilizer are fairly easy to detect. There will be less wander across the lane and less chance for over-steering....
