  • OEM vs. Aftermarket Differences For 2019 Jeep Cherokee Hitch

  • Dual Handle Tub and Shower Diverter Faucet With D-Spud to Attach Shower
  • I believe you are asking for a dual-handle tub and shower diverter faucet that has a D-spud outlet that lets you attach a handheld shower set (a hose leading up to the shower) and we do have those available. For example you could use the following if it is the style you are looking for: - Phoenix Faucets Catalina RV Tub and Shower Diverter Faucet with D-Spud # PF223403 I have added links below to a video reviews of this part as well as a link to our entire selection of these in case you...

  • Can 5 x 8 Utility Trailer Be Equipped With 15 Inch Wheels
  • If you have a 4 on 4 bolt pattern, the largest wheel you'll be able to use is a 13 inch, as a 15 inch wheel would use a 5 on 4-1/2, 5 on 5 or a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern. Swapping to a different bolt pattern would mean replacing the hubs. A higher capacity hub with a different bolt pattern will likely use bearings that aren't compatible with your existing spindles which means that the spindles or axles themselves would need replacing. If you could confirm your current wheel bolt pattern,...

  • Understanding Vehicle Payload And Tongue Weight
  • Payload is any weight added to the vehicle, including cargo and passengers inside; it doesn't matter if it is in front or behind the rear axle. Tongue weight, on the other hand, is any weight added behind the rear axle of the vehicle; this includes cargo in the trunk or bed along with the tongue weight of your trailer. Tongue weight counts as payload. In your case, the cargo carrier and everything on the cargo carrier will count as tongue weight, thus counting as payload as well. I attached...

  • Should Weight of Weight Distribution Hitch Be Taken Into Account When Choosing the Correct System
  • When you're determining the necessary rating for the weight distribution system you use, you will not add the weight of the system as tongue weight. The trailer tongue weight used to figure out what system you need should be the loaded and ready to tow trailer's tongue weight PLUS the weight of anything you carry in the tow vehicle behind the rear axle. Let's call this your total tongue weight. When you choose a system, ideally you'll want the total tongue weight to fall toward the middle...

  • Will The Dometic 310 Part Timer Toilet Work For Long Term Use.
  • The Dometic 310 Part-Timer RV Toilet - Standard Height - Round Bowl - Slow Close Lid - White Ceramic # DOM57FR was designed to be able to be used year round, meaning it has some of the same features that a normal "house" toilet will have. Like using ceramic for the bowl instead of plastic and making it taller than a standard RV toilet. A part time RV'r is someone who uses their RV more than the ordinary user for example boondocking or traveling for weeks at a time or using the RV 3 days...

  • Flat Towing A Jeep Wrangler Behind A Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • As long as your vehicle's towing capacity is not exceeded by the toad vehicle you should be fine. I recommend using something like Curt Tow Bar with Adjustable-Width Arms - Car Mount # C19745, which is a coupler style tow bar that connects to a 2" hitch ball. The arms on # C19745 are adjustable from 26" to 41", and has a capacity of 5,000 pounds. Additionally, If you need the rest of the components for flat towing, they are a tow bar, base plate kit, safety cables, tow bar wiring, a...

  • Does The Camco RV And Marine Disposable Water Filter Remove Rust From Water
  • I spoke with Camco, and they explained to me that the Camco RV and Marine Disposable Water Filter w/ Hose Protector # CAM40043 will remove some rust but not all of it. My recommendation is if you get a lot of rust in your water to invest in a water softener. Water softeners are designed to use a chemical reaction to remove dissolved metals from the water, while a filter removes the solids from the water.

  • What Grease Can Be Mixed with Citgo Calsuplex MP Heavy Marine Grade Wheel Grease
  • According to the MSDS sheet I looked up online for the Citgo calsuplex mp heavy marine grade wheel grease, it is a Calcium Sulfonate type grease. It can be mixed with polyurea grease, such as part # L11465. It can also be mixed with a lithium complex red grease like # L11390 which we routinely use in our shop. For a 14 ounce cartridge compatible grease gun, I like the LubriMatic # L30480 I'll link to a help article that will explain everything you've ever wanted to know about grease.

  • How to Stabilize Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack
  • There is always going to be some bounce with a hitch-mounted bike rack, even the top racks like your Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202. And while I can't say for sure if yours is bouncing more than it should without having seen it, I can assure you the rack won't snap off. That said, even if you tighten the anti-rattle knob fully, it could bounce some, and reinforcing or stabilizing a bike rack is, frankly, always a good idea. It will not only help with the rack bouncing, but also help reassure...

  • Will Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Brake Controller Control Trailer Sway
  • The Tekonsha # TK94FR Prodigy RF is a wireless brake controller that will actuate your trailer brakes when the brakes of the tow vehicle are used, but it is not a sway control device in and of itself. That being said, the manual override can be used during a sway event to operate the trailer's brakes independently of the vehicle's brakes which can stop the trailer from swaying. To add a dedicated sway control system, you'll need to add an additional component like the Tuson # 335TSC-1000....

  • What Wiring Size Is On Replacement Trailer Brake Magnet # BP01-180?
  • The Replacement Trailer Brake Magnet # BP01-180 has 16 gauge wires. Not all magnets will require the protective coverings as the brake assembly backing plate will have a Bushing similar to the # SWC8052-1 that protects the wiring from chaffing on the steel when it travels through the plate.

  • Does Trailer Hitch for 2017 Ford Focus ST Hatchback Improve Towing Capacity
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11431 is only rated for 2,000 lbs of towing capacity so it will not allow you to pull a 4,000 lb camper. Also, your towing capacity is relegated to the lowest-rated component, so a trailer hitch will not improve the towing capacity of any vehicle.

  • Anti-Sway Bar Option For Dump Trailer
  • While there is nothing specifically for Big Tex trailers, there may be an option for you with a friction sway control kit.
