  • Weight Distribution For 4,750 lb GVWR Trailer & Lifted Truck
  • Okay, we can get you set up here with the right weight distribution hitch for your Jayco Jay Feather and lifted Tundra, though you will want to go with a different option than the Blue Ox you mentioned. The reason is that hitch is for loaded tongue weights of between 750 lbs and 1,000 lbs, and your Jacyo with a 4,750 lb GVWR will have a loaded tongue weight in the 600 lb range or so. And using a system rated too highly will result in a very rough, bouncy ride, which is something you'll...

  • Options to Lift a Trailer to Prevent Bottoming Out
  • There are a couple of different options to lift a travel trailer depending on if your axle's sit above or below the leaf springs or if you have torsion axles. If you have torsion axles, which means the suspension and axle are one piece, you will need to use blocks like item # K71-725-02 which fits a # 12 torsion axle. These lift kits are very specific to the model of torsion axle your trailer has and the information you need can be found on the axle tag. If your axles are already below...

  • Recommended Lift Kit for a 2010 Jayco Jay Feather Ultra Lite TT
  • Hey Tony, so if your trailer has a leaf spring axle and the leaf springs are mounted under the axle then you could use the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00, which would move the springs to the top of the axle giving you the height difference equal to the diameter of your axle, plus the thickness of your springs. If you have torsion axles you'd need to let me know what kind you have and I'll see if we have a lift kit. For example, if you had #11 Torflex axles...

  • Torflex Lift Kit and Axle Identification On a 2015 Jayco Jay Feather Travel Trailer
  • On your axle it should be stamped with an axle number on the rear near the right side. The manufacturer wasn't able to identify what axle's they put under your 2015 Jayco Jay Feather X254. The Torflex Lift Kit # K71-707-02 does fit a few axles so I would recommend measuring the existing bolt holes on your axle to ensure correct fit. You should find that the holes both on the top of the axle and side bolt holes are 8" between the center of each hole. If this is not what you have please...

  • Troubleshooting Weak Trailer Brakes on 2015 Jayco X20E
  • Before you swap out the brakes have you tried manually tightening the assemblies to get them to grab harder? On electric drum brakes there is a star wheel at the bottoms of the assemblies that you can turn using a flat head screw driver or brake adjusting tool # W80630. Turning the wheel one way will bring the shoes closer in and turning it the other way pushes the shoes out more. You will adjust the brakes using that wheel until there is a slight but constant drag of the shoe pads on...

  • Comparing the etrailer and Dexter Braking Assemblies for a 3,500 Lb Axle
  • The Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-35-SA which is just part # AKEBRK-35L-SA and part # AKEBRK-35R-SA combined is made overseas. The Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # 23-468-469 is made right here in the USA and are of a much higher quality in my option. The level of quality is also reflected in the warrary as the etrailer brand braking assemblies come with a one year warranty and the Dexter brand braking assemblies come with a five year warranty.

  • How To Find Correct Replacement Electric Brakes for Jayco Feather Travel Trailer
  • In order to find the correct replacement trailer brake assemblies you need to know the axle capacity which is found on the axle tag. The tire size is not really a good indicator of this. It's likely the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # 23-47-48 which is for 2,000 lb axles but it could also be the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # 23-468-469 which is for 3,500 lb axles. Therefore, you'll need to verify the axle capacity or drum size before purchase.

  • What Replacement Jack Foot and Manual Crank Handle do I Need for My Atwood Electric Jack?
  • For considering a jack foot/sand foot for your Atwood electric jack on your 2013 Trail Manor Elkmont travel trailer, the foot needs to be compatible with the jack's outer diameter.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System Over Ball Mount for Lightweight Camping Trailer
  • When a trailer weight is more than 50% of your vehicle weight a weight distribution system is recommended. This will not only help with any possible rear sag on your Tacoma, but the greatest impact will likely be in the sway control. The light trailers with big wind gusts and passing vehicles can have you white knuckling your steering wheel quickly. My recommendation for your trailer and truck is the Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution System w Sway Control # RP66083. This is the...

  • Lift Kit for Dexter 3K # 10 Torflex Axle on Jayco Feather Ultra Light Single Axle Trailer
  • You have a 3K rated Dexter # 10 Torflex axle. As long as your axle doesn't have the 3 inch tall mounting brackets, the # K71-707-01 which would provide 2-5/8 inches of lift is the lift kit you'd want. The # K71-723-01 kit you'd looked at is for the # 9 Torflex, and wouldn't work with your axle.

  • Can ST175/80R13 Be Used On One Axle and ST185/80D13 Be Used On Other Axle Of 2013 Jayco TT?
  • It is not recommend to mix tire sizes on a trailer, as it will cause the trailer to sit unevenly and put additional pressure on one axle. Now in addition your ST175/80R13 tires are radials where the ST185/80D13 are bias ply and these should not be mixed either. These tires have different ply designs and handling characteristics and mixing them on the trailer will cause a very unpleasant and unstable towing experience. I recommend going ahead and purchasing a ST175/80R13 spare as it is...

  • RDJ-2K Tongue Jack Weight Rating for 2015 Jayco Jayfeather Travel Trailer
  • On the Ultimate Trailer Jack # 322-RDJ-2K that is the lifting capacity(2,000lbs) or the amount of tongue weight the camper has. It is capable of supporting 3,000lbs as long as its not raising or lowering. What that means is when you are using the camper the added weight of the people using it and everything else inside shouldn't exceed 3,000lbs on just the tongue jack. I don't see your 2015 Jayco Jayfeather x17z coming close to either of those weights, so you are safe to install it on your...
