Expert Answers about Dutchmen Kodiak Express Travel Trailer


  • Recommended Storage Cover for Dutchmen Kodiak 252RLSL
  • As long as your 2016 Dutchmen Kodiak 252RLSL is not longer than 26 feet then you can use the Adco Polypropelene Storage Cover # 290-74843 on your trailer and it's going to fit just fine. Some information I found in my research says that the Kodiak 252RLSL might be 28 feet long, but it was unclear on whether that measurement included the tongue of the trailer. If that is the length of the trailer without the tongue then you'll actually need the Adco # 290-74844, which is the same cover just...

  • Recommended Cover for 2016 Dutchmen Kodiak Express 223RBSL

The Adco Polypropylene Storage Lot RV Cover for Travel Trailer part # 290-74842 has five layers which is the most we offer for this size.

  • How To Setup Curt MV Weight Distribution System with Suspension Enhancements
  • In regards to setting up a weight distribution system like the Curt MV Weight Distribution System part # C17062, it is advised that you make any adjustments needed to the tow vehicles suspension first and then set the head tilt or spring bar tension on the weight distribution system. I can't speak to every type of system such as the adjustable leaf springs you have but if you were using air bags for example, you would attach the trailer and then adjust the psi until you're as close to...

  • Troubleshooting E5 Communication Error for Advent AC Converted From Analog to Digital Controller
  • According to my research you also need a Digital Relay Box part PXXACRG12RB to switch from the ACRG11 to the ACRG15. Since you don't have this installed there is a communication error between your Advent Air RV Air Conditioner # ACM150 and the thermostat, which makes sense if you don't have that relay box. Unfortunately this box was discontinued earlier in April of 2023 so we don't have any more of them, but you might be able to find them elsewhere like at a used parts store. If you...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
  • Yes, a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 can safely handle pulling a 5th wheel trailer with those ratings.

  • How To Pick Out the Correct Grease To Use for an RV Travel Trailer
  • The most common trailer grease base is Petroleum. If you don't know what is in your hubs currently then it's best to repack everything with new grease so you don't run into issues. You should be doing this once a year anyhow. I recommend the Prime Guard Wheel Bearing Hi-Temp Red Grease part # L11380.

  • Is It Necessary to See Vent Hinge on RV to Determine Correct Replacement Vent Lid
  • Good question, and the answer is you do have to physically look at the hinge of your RV's vent in order to know the cover you need. There is no way to know any specific trailer parts based just off of the year, make and model of trailer. If you refer to the accompanying photo I added, you can see that there are four types of hinges: A continuous hinge such as the Ventline # BVD0449-A01, 4-point hinge such as the Replacement Lid for Jensen RV Roof Vent # CAM40154, and 3-point hinge such...
