- How Much Weight Is Transferred To Front Axle When Using Weight Distribution System on 12K Trailer
- The Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System part # C17501 is a great option for a 1,200 lb tongue weight and what I recommended. The system will force the tongue weight of the trailer towards the front of the vehicle this is true. I wouldn't be able to speculate on the amount as there are too many factors. However, this can be done though the use of scales. The scales semi use will allow you to determine how much weight is added to the front axle of the tow vehicle with the weight distribution...

- The Adco Polypropylene Storage Lot Cover # 290-74844 has reinforced, elastic corners that reduce wear and resist tears and snags that might occur with trailers that have corner drain spouts.

You may want to get something like a pool noodle and cut it up so that it can be placed on the corners...

- You can attach the Gustafson RV LED Ceiling Light w/ Shade - Satin Nickel - 11" Diameter # 277-000469-499 without proper support or anchors. But it will fall.
It will depend on the ceiling structure and the actual material/panels. You will have to run the proper wiring and will need a shallow work ceiling box to keep it up to code too.

- The Jensen RV Stereo part # JWM40 is a great stereo for your RV that will allow you to play CD's, DVD's, and other devices connected through Bluetooth. That said, it is not BluRay compatible nor are any of the other RV stereos that I am aware of for that matter.

- Using the Andersen Rapid Jack # AM3620 to quickly change a tire will not damage the leaf spring on your tandem axle trailer. This has been tested for use with double axle trailers so there's really nothing to worry about because, as you noted, this is a static load and the weight is not going to be completely transferred to a single spring.
I've linked a review video we did that shows how you can safely perform this tire change

- If you're extending your trailer jack all of the way and still having to really work to swing the bars away on your 12K Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37120ET, then I do recommend rechecking how you have everything set up. It might take a little effort to get the bars on and off but it shouldn't be a huge struggle like it sounds like you're having.
It could be the washers used to angle the head but instead of just changing that and hoping for the best I recommend going through...

- The motor/control head of the Electric Jack w/ Footplate # EJ-3520-BBX isn't designed to move but the whole jack itself can be mounted with the controls facing a different way. Since the mounting plate is triangular there is only three ways to mount it though.
The Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-3755 has a rounded mounting plate which you could put in any direction and drill new hole as needed.

view full answer... - Will Portable Gas Grill That Uses Disposable Cylinder Get Enough Pressure from RV Propane Supply
- Portable propane grills like Faulkner # FR51323 that has a built-in regulator will function from a small disposable cylinder, a portable tank or from your RV's propane supply. Since the output pressure from a disposable cylinder is lower than that from either a portable/refillable tank or an RV propane supply the grill with regulator will work fine with the RV connection.
