Expert Answers about Chevrolet P Series


  • Can a Trailer Brake Controller Be Used To Stop A Towed Vehicle
  • I do have options for you but I think there may be some confusion on how to activate the brakes on a towed vehicle. The Tekonsha PowerTrac Electronic Brake Controller part # 39523 or one like it is designed to activate electric brakes on a trailer, not hydraulic brakes on a towed vehicle. In order to activate hydraulic brakes on a towed vehicle you will need a much more complex system, the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System part # RM-8700 is the most economical option we...

  • How Does Brakes of Towed Vehicle get Applied When on Highway
  • To brake a towed vehicle like your S10 you'd need to use a supplemental braking kit as a brake controller for trailer brakes will not activate vehicle brakes. For that we have the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR which installs in the truck floor boards and presses on the brakes of the truck.

  • Trailer Hitch for a 1977 Chevy P30 for a Generator and Propane Tanks
  • Since there are no custom fit hitches for the 1977 Chevy P Series trucks you will need to use a heavy duty weld-on truck hitch such as # 41990-07. I have included a link to the options for you. Welding should be done by a qualified professional welder. These hitches have the tongue weight capacity for the generator and propane tanks. You could then use a carrier such as # 63153 rated for 500 pounds. I have included a link to a video review of this carrier for you.

  • Front Sway Bar that Fits 1996 Fleetwood Bounder RV
  • The good news is that the P30 and P32 1996 P Series motorhome chassis front sway bar fits are the exact same so either way the part # RM-1109-116 would be what you would need. We don't have any steering stabilizer fits though but the front bar will make a big difference.

  • Front Anti-Sway Bar Bushing Kit for a 1995 Chevy P30 Chassis
  • For the 1-1/4 inch factory front anti-sway bar on the 1995 Chevy P30 chassis you can use Roadmaster Polyurethane Bushing Kit # RM-4109-109. If you wanted to replace the factory front sway bar with a beefier, more effective model you can use # RM-1109-116.

  • Tire Chains for 8xR19.5 Tires on a 1993 Itasca Motorhome
  • I believe you have 8xR19.5 tires on your 1993 Itasca Motorhome as this is a rather common tire size for motorhomes. If this is the case then I recommend using the Pewag All Square Snow Tire Chains with Cam Tighteners part # PWE2214SC. These chains have square links which will provide excellent traction in both snow/ice, a reversible pattern so you can obtain the most life out of them, and cam tensioners which makes installation much simpler. If you do not have 8xR19.5 tires then please...

  • Solution for Needing Replacement Kwikee 9513 Replacement Module
  • We do have a solution though there isn't an exact replacement module for a 9513 unit manufactured before 1999. Instead, what you'll need to do is upgrade your steps with the Motor Upgrade Kit for Kwikee Electric RV Steps # LC379145. This will give you a new - and better performing - motor, linkage, control unit, switch kit, and hardware. I have added links to a couple video reviews I recommend checking out as well.

  • We have 2 ladder standoffs with square bases, the Replacement Stand-Off Brace for Surco Universal Exterior RV Ladders # SPN-416, and the Replacement Ladder Support Peg for Stromberg Carlson RV Exterior Ladder # 8535 you referenced. They both have the same dimensions, which you can see from the attached photo. They have overall length of about 5 inches, so the ladder would about 5 inches away from the back of the RV not 6 inches like you measured. To get the 6 inches you need, you could...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For My 1993 Chevrolet P30 Stepvan
  • I do have a solution for you, but it will not involve a custom fit trailer hitch. The Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 72" Wide. part # 13703, is an adjustable universal hitch. It can fit frames from 22" to 72" in width. It comes with all the hardware you need to bolt it to your vehicle's frame, which requires drilling. It can also be welded to your frame. It has a maximum gross trailer weight of 3,500 lbs. I have included a product description link and a video...

  • How to Pick Out Replacement Trailer Vent Cover Lid
  • In order to determine the correct roof vent, measure where the vent opens. The standard trailer roof vent opening is roughly 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" and have roof vents that measure 14" x 14". To pick the correct cover, you will also need to know the type of hinge you need. There is a 3 point hinge, such as the one on the Camco # CAM40153; a 4 point hinge as seen on the Camco # CAM40154; or a rolled metal continuous hinge like on the Ventline # BVD0449-A03; and universal hinge as shown on...

  • Leveling and Stabilizing a 1995 Winnebago Adventurer Motorhome
  • I have an alternate solution for you, but we do not have an electric leveling system for your motorhome. The best solution we have would be to use the Camco FasTen RV Leveling Blocks # CAM44512 that you can drive on. Then you can use the Ultra-Fab Ultra Scissor Jacks # UF48-979031 to keep the motorhome stable when walking around. The Ultra-Fab Ultra Scissor Jacks # UF48-979031 will bolt to the frame of your motorhome and keep it stable. Keep in mind they are not designed to lift the motorhome,...
