Expert Answers about Forest River Forester Motorhome


  • 2018 Forest River Brake Controller Recommendation
  • For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. This will be the last brake controller you buy. It can easily be transferred to future vehicles as well. The correct install harness you'd need...

  • Which Suspension Enhancement Kit is Best for 2018 Forest River 3251 DS LE Towing All the Time
  • If you are always towing with a vehicle such as your 2018 Forest River 3251 DS LE I'd go with the Timbren setup part # TFERSDLB that you mentioned. This installs easier and since it's maintenance free it's the easiest and best solution for you. Air bag kits like the # F22ZR work great but they are more ideal for someone who will sometimes be towing and other times not since you can more easily adjust the support you need. But if you are always towing then not ever having to worry about...

  • Gustafson RV LED Puck Light # 277-000489 For Replacement Light With Warmer Color
  • I like the Gustafson RV LED Puck Light w/ Button, # 277-000489. This is a 4-3/8" diameter surface-mount LED light with bolt-on installation. It has a center button on the lens that allows you turn on/off individually even if wired in a series of lights with a wall switch. You do not state how your current lights are wired but, I presume being in a motorhome you have a wall switch and possibly more than one light per in the string. If you have multiples of these, you can turn a portion...

  • Using Camco Brass Propane Tee # CAM59093 to Run Generator From 20 Pound Tank
  • The JR Products Propane T-Fitting # 37207-30105 that you referenced can indeed be used to run your generator from a 20 pound propane tank. If you are looking to use this as an inline tee from your main propane supply you would need to add the Adapter Fitting # 204132-MBS to connect to the tank.

  • The replacement awning roller part # LC260560333 that you referenced is for a 15 foot awning like the part # LCV000211480 which is longer than the actual awning itself. So to pick out an awning roller the easiest way would be for you to get me the length of your awning and I'll be able to see which is correct for it.

  • How to Determine if Demco Kar Kaddy X Has Enough Ground Clearance for Vehicle
  • Demco has an interesting way to determine if the Kar Kaddy X # DM9713093 would provide enough ground clearance for a vehicle like your 2006 Mini Cooper to load. You will need to measure from where the front wheel touches the ground on front side of the tire to the front of the lower portion of the front end of the vehicle where it has lowest ground clearance. You'll use that number along with the 7 inches of vertical ground clearance you have. You'll take 7 and multiply it by 4.6 and as...
