  • Suggested Towing Mirrors for a 2008 Toyota Highlander
  • Though we do not have a custom fit option for a 2008, we do have other options available. The K-Source # KS3891-2 has convex mirrors making reflections appear smaller than with flat mirrors, allowing you to see more than standard flat mirrors. I included a video we did of an install of these on a 2018 Highlander as well.

  • Backup Camera 5th Wheel Hook-Up
  • There are several options of cameras although there aren't any that identify as cargo bed specifically. Two of the more basic cameras, lower price point but quality picture are the VueSMART Wireless Backup Camera, # HM34FR and the Rampage Wireless Backup Camera for Smartphone or Tablet - iOS or Android, # RA7710. The # HM34FR is mounted and wired to a location on the RV while the # RA7710 is a moveable camera that magnetically mounts to where you place it. I prefer this option. Please...

  • Recommended Bike Rack For 2021 Lexus RX 350 F-Sport Without Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • I have a different option for you, but at this time (5/12/2021) there is not a trailer hitch receiver confirmed to fit your 2021 Lexus RX 350 F-Sport with the performance damper installed. With that said you can still carry your bikes using the SeaSucker Talon Roof Bike Rack - Fork Mount - Vacuum Cup Mounted # 298-BT1004 if you have a single bike, # 298-BM2006 if you have two bikes, or # 298-BB3008 if you have three bikes. These options fit any vehicles with a flat roof including your...

  • Flat Tow the 2008 Mini S Hardtop
  • Please refer to your vehicle specific owners manual for flat towing information, ensure your vehicle can actually be flat towed without damage to the transmission; I understand that some Mini Coopers with automatic transmissions can not. Since you already have the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain Tow Bar, # RM-522. I suggest the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit, # 521877-1. For a lighting kit you can go with an easy and inexpensive magnetic kit such as, # TL21RK. Or the Custer Wireless LED...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2020 Hyundai Palisade With No Rails or Crossbars
  • Although we don't offer a roof rack option that would provide the side rails, we do offer roof rack options that would work for your 2020 Hyundai Palisade. For a Yakima round bar roof rack, you'd need the following parts: • Yakima 58 inch round crossbars, part # Y00409 • Yakima BaseLine Towers, part # Y28TR • Yakima SL Adapters, part # Y03536 • Yakima Base Clips # Y06145 • Yakima Base Clips # Y06138 You might want to consider going with an aero-style crossbar, however.

  • 1957 Westfield Westerner - Will R-Pod Cover Fit?
  • The Classic # CA80198 cover you referenced is designed for R-Pod shape trailers that are more tappered in shape. It would just fit length, but half a foot to narrow in width. I think you would be better off with the Adco # 290-74839 Long-Term storage cover which is good for all climates and weather. It also has a soft inside and vents to reduce moisture and mold. If you let me know that outside diameter of the rubber on your tires I can additionally recommend tire covers that will protect...

  • All Weather Storage Cover for 2018 Flagstaff T12RBST A-Frame 12
  • The Classic # CA80043 seems too big for your trailer. If your trailer is not 12 foot, just let me know for an updated recommendation. For your 12-foot Flagstaff A-frame, the only cover we have is the Adco # 290-12292 designed for moderate climates. Protects from dirt, rain, and sun. Will require care when tieing down the cover. If you let me know the outside diameter of your tires I could also recommend tire covers.

  • Determining If ST185/80R13 Tire On Boat Trailer Can Be Replaced W/ ST205/75R15 Tires and Wheels
  • It is possible that you will be able to replace the ST185/80R13C tires on your 17' Bass Tracker trailer with 15" tires, but that is a pretty large jump in size so you will need to verfiy the clearance you currently have. The smallest 15" diameter trailer tire is the ST205/75R15 which is about 2-1/2" taller and 3/4" wider than your current tires. You will need to measure from the top of your tires to the bottom of the fender to make sure you have at least 4-1/2" clearance, and from the...

  • Replacing Tekonsha 4-Way Flat Vehicle Wiring Harness That Failed
  • I have not heard of anyone having that issue with the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118413. Any alteration to the wiring harness is not recommended and would void the manufacturers warranty. I recommend using the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness # 33425 as this will allow you to use a fuse on the main power wire that transfers power to the module. This harness will not draw on the vehicle wiring like the Tekonsha kit.

  • RV Roof Air Conditioner For Monaco With Dometic Setup
  • It sounds like you only need to replace your rooftop units only and NOT the inside ceiling distribution box, or ducts, or thermostatic controls. The Advent # ACM150 is a 15,000 BTU rooftop air conditioner with white housing (black available) which has an optional # ACMSCKIT start capacitor, and optional # ACMHD heat strip. This will be a direct replacement for a Dometic unit. the start capacitor is a valuable option especially if you will be working off of a generator. The Advent # ACDOM135...

  • Does Curt Hitch for 2017 Honda CR-V Interfere with Handsfree Liftgate
  • We had a customer with a 2017 Honda CR-V Touring just like yours who told us that the Curt hitch part # C13397 did not interfere with their hands free liftgate at all. You would not need to move any sensors.

  • Slide Topper for 2019 Starcraft Launch
  • If your width of your slide out (including the frame/flange on the outside edges) is 87 inches and you want the perfect 2" extra on both sides, then you want the Lippert # LCV000168106 Slide-Out Awning. This will fit slide outs with a maximum of 48" of projection. I picked the black model that matches your other awning and trim work. It is also available in white. These awnings have the better 13.5 ounce vinyl. Includes awning rail. If it were me, I would install black butyl tape, like...

  • Upgrading Fastway Weight Distribution Hitch For a Larger Travel Trailer
  • The 2021.5 Rockwood Geopro 20BHS has an unloaded tongue weight of 455lbs. The maximum cargo capacity of the trailer is an additional 842lbs and GVWR of 4,355lbs. I feel that if you are able to limit the weight and distribute the cargo weight evenly front to back that you will be able to stay below the 600lb maximum of the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA94-00-0600. I recommend to change out the Round Spring Bar # FA94-02-0899. Two of these are designed for trailers with 400-800lbs...

  • How To Install A Kayak Carrier Onto The Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack
  • If your J-style kayak carrier clamps are too small to fit around the Thule Xsporter Pro Ladder Rack then you will likely need a new kayak carrier, unless there is an option to use T-bolts to install the kayak carrier into the Xsporter crossbar tracks. If you can tell me which kayak carrier you have then I can verify if T-bolts can be used. For example, the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier # MPG114MD has the option to add Truck Rack T-slot # MPG8287 to secure it to the top channel. But if...

  • Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2017 Chevrolet Volt Difficulty DIY VS Professional Installation
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11436 will fit your 2017 Chevrolet Volt. It ranks a 10/10 on the difficulty due to the number of parts that need to be removed to install the hitch and the trimming required of the panels that the hitch will pass through. I have attached the video of the installation we completed on a Volt for you to determine if it something that you would feel comfortable doing yourself. We do not have installers that we recommend but I suggest going to the Curt website...

You will need one kit for each axle. This will lift your trailer the by the diameter of the trailer axle plus the height of your leaf spring stack. Keep in mind, lifting your trailer will...

  • Rear Suspension Enhancement Product for Class C Motorhome to Decrease Sway and Increase Ride Height
  • Assuming that your RV doesn't already have one, an anti-sway bar like # RM-1129-143 will keep your rear axle tied perpendicular to the frame which will be the most effective way to prevent the front end from getting squirrely on you. However, this option wouldn't affect your ride height. If you already have the OEM anti-sway bar, the addition of SuperSrings # SSA11 will offer pretty effective sway resistance, but would also raise your ride height by about an inch and would also help reduce...

  • Is Weight Distribution Needed for a 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  • It's never a bad idea to use a weight distribution system, they not only help with distributing weight but most also help with trailer sway. In certain cases, the vehicle manufacturer will actually require one for trailers over a certain weight. The general rule we use is that if the loaded weight of the trailer is over half the weight of the vehicle then you'll want to use one but you can certainly still use one even if you're under this. The Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution part #...
