  • Can a Ladder Mounted Bike Carrier be Placed on Any Rung on an RV Ladder
  • You can place a ladder mounted bike carrier, such as # SP501BR, on any ladder rung you wish. But the higher up you place it the higher you will need to lift the bikes to load/unload them. A car on a tow dolly should provide plenty of space between it and the RV though so you may not need to put the bikes too high on the ladder.

  • Installing Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller on 2014 Allegro Breeze 32
  • Depending on what vehicle chassis your Allegro was assembled on, there might be a connector under the dash for a plug and play brake controller installation. The motorhome manufacturer would be able to provide you specific information about this. I don't have any information on wire colors or codes as wire colors can change from model year to model year and If you do not have the plug and play connector under the dash, you can install a brake controller using our brake controller installation...

  • Wiring a 2002 Volkswagen New Beetle
  • The best way to find the correct wiring to attach the converter is to use a circuit tester to determine which wire serves which function. The best spot to access the wiring is behind the taillight assemblies. According to the information I have, the 2002 Beetle uses a separate wire for the brake and turn signals.

  • How Does a Bike mount to the Thule Passage Trunk Mount Bike Rack
  • The top frame bar of the bike will go on top of the cradles on the 2 arms of the Thule Passage bike rack # TH910XT. The frame bar rests in the cradles and you will pull the straps over the top of the frame tube so they are snug, not super tight, and attach them to the cradle. On bikes that have alternative frames such as women's bikes or full suspension bikes you may need to use a bike adapter bar such as # 64005 to create an artificial top tube. I have linked some videos that should be...

  • Need Help with Curt Class I Hitch # C11066 Installation on 2001 Volkswagon New Beetle
  • We do have an installation video for Curt hitch # C11066 that I have linked for you. This shows the hitch being installed in a 2004 VW Golf, not a New Beetle, but since the frames of the two vehicles are the same you should find some useful help in the video. Do note that it can happen that in shipment of a hitch rough handling by the carrier can cause a bit of twisting or distortion of the mounting flanges which have the mounting holes. It may be necessary to apply a little force to the...

  • Troubleshooting Hitch Installation On a 2005 VW New Beetle
  • I have a video of the Curt Hitch # 11066 being installed on a 2004 VW Golf, which should be very similar to the installation on the 2005 VW New Beetle. I've attached a link to that video for your convenience. Your hardware kit should have two hex bolts that are 3/8" x 1-3/4" long that connect through the trunk pan to the rear crossbar of the hitch. It also includes one 1/2" by 1-1/4" long hex bolt that is used to secure the passenger side of the front crossbar of the hitch through the...

  • According to my research, the automatic transmission equipped 2006 VW Beetle can be towed on a tow dolly like the Roadmaster # RM-2050-1 you referenced. I would urge you to confirm this for yourself by consulting your owner's manual or checking with your VW dealer, as I was unable to locate an online copy of the owner's manual.

  • How to Use Stabilizing Strap on a 2000 VW Beetle with a Curt Hitch and Thule T2 Classic Bike Rack
  • Yes, the stabilizing strap you will need is the Curt Bike Rack Strap with Cambuckle, # 18050. I have added a photo detailing how the strap is normally used on bike racks. On the Thule T2 Pro XTR Platform Rack, # TH23JV, you will need to run the strap down to the main support tube at the center of the rack, and then back up to the trunk lip or other suitable location. For your 2000 VW Beetle you will need to check the owners manual to be sure the bikes and rack do not exceed the weight...

  • Specifications for Roadmaster Diodes # RM-690 and # RM-790 for Use on a Semi-Trailer
  • I do have some technical information for you about the Roadmaster Diodes # RM-690 and # RM-790, but I do not have any prints available. Both part numbers are 1/2" tall, 1-9/16" wide, and are 1-5/16" long. They can withstand up to 85 of continuous amps, plus they have been tested to work when they are frozen and tested in an oven up to 180 C without failing. My contact at Roadmaster said that these can definitely take a beating and will work great for your application.
