Expert Answers about Jeep Patriot

• Will Hollywood Racks Expedition Trunk Rack Fit 2015 Jeep Patriot for Carrying 2 Bikes
• The Hollywood Racks Expedition 2 part # HRF6-2 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Jeep Patriot. It does not have any special weight capacities concerning the back door of your vehicle so as long as you stay under it's capacity of 35 lbs per bike this will work well. For a long road trip I would recommend stopping after driving through any rain and be sure to clean the mounting pads for the bike rack as well as the paint of the rack. This will help prevent scratching. If...

• Replacement for 30-1/4 x 17-1/2 x 16-5/8 RV Microwave
• The Greystone Standard RV Microwave part # 324-000105 measures 19" wide x 13-1/2" tall x 14-1/4" deep so it will fit in the space available but it won't quite fill it completely. The trim piece however will cover 23-3/8" wide x 15" tall of space so there won't be as much of a gap. This is the best option we have for the dimensions listed.

• Brake Controller And Wiring For A 2017 Jeep Patriot
• The easiest way for you to be ready to tow a camper with brakes behind your 2017 Jeep Patriot is to add the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit for Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 12 Gauge Wires Item # ETBC7L. Since you already have a 4 pole plug, this kit connects directly to it and the only thing left to do is run a power wire to the battery and a ground wire to the frame.

• Adapter Bar for Use with Electra Townie Bike on Swagman XC Cross-Country 2-Bike Rack S64650
• When mounting a bike like an Electra Townie, which can have a very low-slung frame tube, on a platform style rack like the high-value Swagman XC # S64650 you can use a bike adapter bar to make it easier to secure the Townie on the carrier. Adapter bar # UB01 connects between the seat post and handlebar stem to provide the equivalent of a horizontal top frame tube, as is found on a typical man's bike frame. This give you a perfect substitute mounting point for the XC's ratcheting hooks. Please...

• How to Add Lights to the Roof of a 2016 Jeep Patriot
• I do have an option for you but a 2016 Jeep Patriot is not exactly considered to be an off-road vehicle therefore they don't make any custom mount light bar kits for it. If you wanted to add lights to your roof without having to drill into the roof itself then your best option would be to mount some pod lights on a roof basket. In order to do this you will first need a roof rack if you do not already have one. For this, I recommend the Yakima CoreBar Crossbar System part # Y00421 and part...

• Battery Disconnect Switch for Use on Travel Trailer
• You can use the Marine Battery Switch # 277-000403 for your application but since this item is not rated for outdoor use I recommend using a junction box like # 3375601100 to provide a degree of protection from moisture. The switch housing (not including the knob) is about 1-1/4-inches deep so you'd want to use hardware that is about 2-inches long. If space is available in your battery box you might be able to mount the switch there. In this case a better choice might be the Epicord Battery...

• Will I Need an Adapter to Use the Thule Hull-A-Port with Thule Evo Raised Rail Feet?
• You will only need an adapter for the Thule Hull-a-Port # TH834 if you have the Thule WingBar Evo crossbars or the Thule Aeroblade crossbars. If you have those models of crossbars mounted on your Evo raised rail feet, you will need the Watersports Adapter for Aeroblade/Aeroblade Edge Bars # THXADAPT11. If you need a recommendation for a complete roof-rack system, I would be happy to assist you if you provide the year/make/model of your vehicle.

• Picking Out Replacement Taillight Bulbs for 1990 Jayco Popup Camper
• I looked up a few pictures of a 1990 Jayco popups and found that they all seemed to have taillights like the # 30-92-003 that you referenced. This light takes a 1157 bulb like the # A1157B for an incandescent bulb. The side clearance lights appear to be the part # MC31RB for red and # MC31AB which use 194 bulbs like the # A194B.

• The Yakima HangOut # Y02637 that you referenced, which is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Jeep Patriot, can hold up to 2 bikes that weigh a combined 60 lbs.

It doesn't come with locks but you can add them with the Security Strap # Y02623, Cable # Y07233, and Lock cores...

• How Far is a Trailer Hitch Recessed Under the Bumper on a 2014 Jeep Patriot
• We haven't had a chance to install Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75712 on a 2014 Jeep Patriot but the measurement should be around 6-1/2 inches like on the 2011 model in the video I have linked to the right. We have installed Curt hitch # C13081 on a 2014 Patriot and it measured 6-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole back to clear the rear bumper. I have linked the video for this hitch as well. If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit...

• Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole Vehicle End Trailer Connector Instructions
• Sorry about that, I'll be happy to help! When connecting the adapter, (4 Pole to 7 Pole Vehicle End Trailer Connector), the white wire is your ground wire, the black is the hot wire to the 12V, the blue wire is to the electric brakes, and the yellow wire is for reverse. The 4 pole just plugs into the existing 4 pole.

• Hitch and 3-Bike Rack Recommendation for 2016 Jeep Patriot
• First let's get a hitch installed on your 2016 Jeep Patriot. For that you'd want the Draw Tite hitch part # 75712 which is a confirmed fit and would be a great choice for a 3 bike rack. It has a concealed crosstube too so only the hitch opening would be visible. Then for a 3 bike rack the Kuat Transfer 3 part # KU24FR would be a great option. It's a platform rack so it will be very easy to load/unload and will hold the bikes very securely. I attached a review video for this rack for you...

• Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Carrier for Cruiser Bike and Childrens Bikes on a 2014 Jeep Patriot
• The size of the cruiser bike top frame tube is going to necessitate an adapter bar. But going with a rack that has a single arm and rotating cradles, such as # S64940, is a great idea for childrens' bikes. The alternative is to replace the Class II trailer hitch with a Class III trailer hitch, such as # 75712, and use a platform style bike rack such as # HR1400Z. This rack holds the bikes at the frames so even with an alternative frame it will still fit the rack. The adjustable wheel...

The baseplate has a durable steel construction that is powder coated that helps resist rust and corrosion. If you're wanting to use a Roadmaster tow bar you will need adapter # RM-031 or RM-031-5. If you have a Demco Towbar you wil need adapter # BX88310. I attached an installation video link of the baseplate being installed on a 2011 Jeep Patriot. The installation...

• Is it Necessary to Put Key for 2017 Jeep Patriot in ACC Mode for Flat Towing
• Typically when the owner's manual says to keep the key in the ACC position it is to keep the steering wheel locked. If that isn't the case with your 2017 Jeep Patriot then I am not sure why you need to keep it in that position but I can say that it is always best to do what the manual says to avoid damage to your vehicle. For the odometer I have been told that it is hit and miss and that the dealer must be contacted...which doesn't sound like that worked out for you. You could test this...
