  • What Are the Torque Specs for Trailer Suspension Parts
  • I have attached for you below some common torque values needed for a trailer suspension system but a lot of these will vary by bolt size and other factors. U-Bolts: Varies by Size - 1/2" bolts: 45 ft/lbs - 70 ft/lbs, 9/16" bolts: 65 ft/lbs - 95 ft/lbs, 5/8" bolts: 100 ft/lbs - 120 ft/lbs, 3/4" bolts: 140 ft/lbs - 160 ft/lbs Eye Bolts: No Torque - Snug But Not Restrictive Spindle Nut: No Torque - Hand Tight Plus Quarter Turn Brake Flange Bolts: 45-50 Ft Lbs I have attached a list of...

  • Is Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Adapter Compatible With 2019 Ford F-250 Prep Package
  • The Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5GX1216 will work with your 2019 Ford F-250 as long as you don't have a ball with an integrated locking lever. If you do have a ball with the lever built into the top, you would need one like the # BWGNXA2061 instead which uses the handle to lock the ball. It is also worth noting that this should not be used with a sidewinder king pin or any cushioned or air ride king pin.

  • How To Find Replacement Leaf Springs for a Palomino Sabre 5th Wheel 12,800 GVWR
  • In order to find the correct replacement leaf spring for a trailer you will need to note the type (double eye, slipper), measure the unloaded length, and find the axle capacity. Since you have already determined that you have double eye leaf springs that measure 25-1/2" long then all we need to do is find the axle capacity which is listed on a sticker in the center of the axle tube. That said, I would be willing to bet you either have 5,200 lb or 6,000 lb trailer axles based on the overall...

  • Replacement Ventline Trailer Roof Vent With Screen VD0434
  • From my research the VD0434 model number is the screen for a Ventline roof vent. We carry two replacement lids for the Ventline roof vents. It is more than likely you need the Replacement Dome Assembly for Ventline Ventadome Trailer Roof Vent part # BVD0449-A03 which has a plastic hinge that I have added a photo of. If your hinge is metal it is an older model, for that you will need Vent Cover for Ventline Old-Style Rounded Dome Trailer Roof Vents part # BV0554-03. I have added a photo...

  • Landing Gear For 2011 Palomino Sabre 31 RETS
  • Look at your landing gear and find out the height of the outer tube, typically it's the black tube. That will let you know which jack you should go with. Then find the distance between the weld stops. This will let you know if the jack will fit or it you'll need to cut off and reweld on the brackets. If the distance between weld stops is 15-1/2" then this set # RVLG-8000 would work for you.

  • Camco Ultraguard 5th Wheel Cover That Fits 2014 Palomino Sabre 5th Wheel 33-RETS
  • According to all my research, a 2014 Palomino Sabre 33-RETS or 33-RETS-6 measures 35 feet, 1 inch. I recommend verifying within your owner's manual or the manufacturer what your exact length is just to be sure, but everything I found point to it being 35 feet, 1 inch, and for that the correct UltraGuard cover is the following: - Camco UltraGuard 5th Wheel Cover - 36' Long # CAM45756

  • Picking Out Replacement Leaf Springs for 2008 Palomino Sabre
  • You do need to replace both leaf springs on either side of your axle at the same time. To pick out a replacement spring you are going to need to take a few measurements. You are going to need to measure the length of the spring without any weight on it from spring eye to spring eye, and you are going to need to know the capacity of trailer/axles so that you pick out the correct rated spring. Once you know that info you will need to check out the link I attached that has a page with all...

  • Determining Replacement Leaf Springs For a 5TH Wheel Camper Trailer With 12,000LB GVWR
  • I have linked an article below which will help you to accurately measure your leaf springs to ensure you get the correct length. With your 5th wheel trailer having a 12,000lb GVWR you will most likely have 6,000lb double eye leaf springs like # e34SR. While you can use either this Spring # e34SR which is 25-1/4" and the Spring # e47SR which is 25-1/8" on the same trailer as they are so close in size the particular difference in these springs is the amount of leaves they use. Having more...

  • Furrion Observation and Backup Camera for Additional Camera View
  • The Furrion System you referenced the FOS43TADS no longer has a camera option that is compatible or you could indeed sync a second camera. You will need to upgrade the system at this point to the VIsion S system # FOS43TASF you asked from and then you can add the Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera w/ Night Vision - Rear Mount - Black - Qty 1 # FCN48TASF for that second camera.

  • Suspension Parts Needed to Raise Height of 5th Wheel Trailer
  • Installing the Triangular Equalizer # TREQ310, shown in the linked diagram, will not lift your trailer but we do have axle over-under kits that will. We have kit # K71-384-00 for 2-3/8-inch diameter axles and kit # K71-385-00 for 3-inch axles. These bolt on kits will raise the height of the trailer by several inches by moving the spring to the top of the axle. The exact height gain will be the sum of the axle diameter plus the height of the leaf spring stack. So, for example, kit # K71-385-00...

  • Replacement Landing Gear System for 2010 Palomino Sabre 31RETS
  • Based on the weld stop measurement you listed and the GVWR of the 2010 Palomino Sabre 31RETS the Stromberg Carlson Electric Landing Gear Set # LG-3 will work really well. This system features a 6,500 pound weight capacity, provides a total lift of 34-7/8 inches, and weld stops that are spaced apart by 15-1/2 inches inside to inside (and 17-1/2 inches outside to outside) so you can use your existing brackets. A hand crank is included for manual operation if you lose power, and the direct...
