• Trailer Right Turn Signal Does Not Work When Connected to 3 Different Vehicles
• It certainly does sound like a short on the trailer that caused some problems, but I would not rule out the possibility that it is just coincidence and that there is an issue with all the vehicles in some way, shape, or form. If the trailer draws more that 2.1 amps per side for turn/brake lights then that would cause the converter to blow. On the trailer, make sure its connector is free of corrosion. Then you will want to trace the wiring leading back from the 4-Way to determine if there...

• Swapping From Electric Drum Brakes To Electric Over Hydraulic Brakes On A 2007 Coachmen Chaparrel
• To switch from electric drum brakes to hydraulic disc brakes on your 2007 Coachmen Chaparral 5th wheel you're going to need a disc brake assembly, brake line kit, electric over hydraulic actuator, breakaway kit, and brake controller. From my research it looks like you should have a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern which would mean you can use the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 12" Hub/Rotor - 6 on 5-1/2 - Dacromet/KodaGuard - 5,200 to 6,000lbs # K2HR526DKG you were looking at. This kit is for one axle...

• Is There a Range of Roadmaster Even Brake Transmitter & Monitor for 2020 Ford Ranger
• There is not a specific range that that is limiting in regards to the distance between the ICX transmitter and monitor for the Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Supplemental Braking System # RM-9400, and will absolutely work on a 40 foot motorhome without issue. The transmitter is what relays the signal to your monitor about the status of the braking system, but it's the inertia sensor in the system that actually activates the brakes. The Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Supplemental Braking...

• The MaxxAir MaxxFan # MA00A04401K that you asked about has a maximum draw of 4-1/4 amps when it is set at it's highest setting.

• Will the Kat's Heaters Lower Radiator Hose Heater KH16600 Overheat the Coolant
• The Kat's Heaters Lower Radiator Hose Heater part # KH16600 has a shutoff point of 270 degrees Fahrenheit. However, that does not mean it will heat the coolant until this temperature is reached every time. It's just a failsafe to prevent damage from overheating if something were to occur. The heater is also at a single location so it won't send this same temperature throughout the entire system. The actual temperature the heater will warm the coolant to can vary by application. Please...

• We do have a video of a brake controller being installed in a 2002 Ford Ranger but it's not the Hayes G2 Brake Boss as that part is no longer available.

The video also uses our installation kit, part # ETBC7, which you'll need if your Ranger doesn't have a 7-way connector. The kit installs into an existing 4-way...

• Can The Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty Crossbars Be Cut To Length For My Camper
• Yes, the Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Crossbars can be cut to length, so you would be able to put them on a narrower camper. The Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells - Track Mount - Silver - 59" Long, part # Y01-130B, has tracks that would mount to the top of your camper with T-bolts.

• Does Curt Class III Trailer Hitch C13417 Include Installation Hardware
• The hitch doesn't include hardware because the necessary hardware is already on the truck. The Curt Class III hitch you refer to, part # C13417 uses 4 existing M16 bolts to attach to the vehicle. You'll clamp the bumper into place, remove the 4 bolts holding the bumper assembly to the frame, then install the hitch using the same bolts that were just removed.

• Do Bearings Need to be Removed to Install New Grease Seal on Hub
• The bearings for your trailer hub don't need to be removed/replaced when replacing the blown grease seal. As you mentioned you can simply tap in the new seal from the back of the hub once it's taken off the spindle. With that being said it's not a bad idea to go ahead and remove and inspect the bearings while you're in there to make sure there aren't any signs that anything needs to be replaced. The Grease Seals # RG06-020 that you were looking at have a 1.500 inch inner diameter and...

These wires are located on the driver side, under the dash, left of the brake pedal on the firewall with heat shrink tubing on the ends. The wires can be hooked up directly to a controller like the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite...
