Expert Answers about Forest River Rockwood Signature Ultra Lite Travel Trailer


  • Cargo Carrier on the Rear of my 5th Wheel Camper
  • It is very common to see the 23x59 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches part # C18151 mounted on the rear of motorhomes using the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver part # E-100 which is rated for a gross trailer weight of 3500 lbs. and 350 lbs.of tongue weight. That said the carrier and hitch can both handle the weight of what you want to carry. As far as if the bumper can handle it you will need to check with your camper's manufaturer to ensure it can handle that weight.

  • Can Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution be Used on Trailer with Under Slung Coupler
  • The type of coupler you have now is an underslung style since it is attached to the bottom of your trailer frame. Now the Equal-i-zer kit # EQ37141ET can fit your trailer but you'll have to get a little creative with how you attach the frame bracket. You'll need to weld the bracket to the side of the frame like in the picture I attached since your frame dimensions are too tall and you'd need the brackets lower to compensate for the underslung coupler. Now the other thing worth mentioning...

  • Best Replacement for the Lippert Smart Jack Electric Trailer Jack
  • The Lippert Smart Jack Electric Trailer Jack part # LC643589 is a good innovative option with memory features but it does have a design flaw in my opinion. The touchpad or controls are on the top of the jack. The reason that this is a problem is because the seals around the controls break down over time and water gets inside ruining the jack. This could be attributed to rough use, bad seals, but the touchpad being directly on the top of the jack means water can come straight in as opposed...

  • Determining Correct Replacement Brake Assemblies For 2011 Forest River Prime Time Tracer 230 FBS
  • Based on the weight of your 2011 Forest River Prime Time Tracer 230 FBS your trailer should have tandem 3500lb axles, which would mean your axles use replacement braking assemblies # 23-468-469. You will need two sets of these, one for each axle. You can confirm that this is the correct braking assemblies by measuring the inside of your drums or by checking the axle tag on the center of your axle to see if the axle rating is indeed 3500lbs. These brakes measure 10" x 2-1/4" so measuring...

  • Rear Hitch Solution for 2018 Rockwood Signature Ultra Lite 8329SS
  • Since your bumper hangs below the rear frame it would be hard to mount a frame mounted hitch without taking the RV to a fabricator who could hopefully come up with something custom fit. Otherwise you'd have to use a bumper mounted hitch like the Curt # E-100.

  • AC Unit Replacement Recommendation for 2012 Forest River Ultra Light with Coleman Mach
  • It really just depends on the AC unit you go with. Most likely what is causing the breakers to trip is the initial draw of the AC units when they start up. So with that in mind I would recommend the Furrion Chill HE part # FR42PV which has a start capacitor that softens the initial amperage draw, is 15k btu rated, known to be the coldest and quietest, and was designed to replace Coleman setups like what you have so install will be much simpler. Its amperage draw is 15.8 amps so a 35 amp...

  • Small Powered Trailer Jack Recommendation for Tailgate Clearance
  • I have a few different options for you and it all depends on what you're wanting out of a trailer jack for your 2017 Forest River Rockwood Signature Ultra Lite 2703WS. The absolute best clearance you'll get is with the Trailer Valet JXC Trailer Jack w/ Footplate # TV94FR because it uses a hand crank, but then you can use your drill then you want it to operate faster. Using this means you don't have to make connections to your trailer battery plus you won't have the trailer jack motor...

  • Replacement Powered Awning for a 2016 Forest River Rockwood Signature Ultra Lite Travel Trailer
  • We do offer powered awning kits that will fit your 2016 Forest River Rockwood Signature Ultra Lite Travel Trailer and for that I recommend the Solera 18V Power RV Awning part # LC729486 for black fade or part # LC730492 for white fade. These awnings are 16' long, have battery powered operation so there is no drain on the trailer battery, and have a manual override feature if there were ever an issue with the power supply or the battery could not be charged. The kit also has a rain dump...
