Expert Answers about Forest River Salem Hemisphere Lite Travel Trailer


  • What Circuit on a Ford F-150 Normally Powers Powered A-Frame Jack
  • It's the 12 volt accessory circuit for the trailer wiring fuse and/or relay that is bad on your Ford truck. Or it's possible the circuit isn't complete which you could do with 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by foot) through a breaker like # 9510 from the 1:00 pin of the 7-way to the positive post of your vehicle battery.

  • Is Axle Capacity of 2017 Forest River Salem hemisphere lite RL272 3500 or 4400 lbs
  • The outer wheel bearing's reference number or inside diameter will clue you in to whether you have a 3500 or a 4400 lb axle. If the outer bearing has the LM67048 reference number stamped on the side of the bearing carrier or if it has an inside diameter of 1.25 inches, you have a 4400 lb axle. If the outer bearing reference number is L44649 and has an inside diameter of 1.063 inches, you have a 3500 lb axle. The mounting bolt pattern of the brake assemblies would also be a giveaway. The...

  • Does The Lionshead Liger Trailer Wheel LH34FR Have A Maximum Air Pressure Rating?
  • The Lionshead Aluminum Liger Trailer Wheel # LH34FR does have an 1,820 pound load limit, but it will not really carry a max pressure as it will always be more than any tire that can be installed on it. I will say that you are limited to 65 psi due to the valve stem that comes included, so something like the Westlake ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # LHWL300 would match this perfectly. However, If you wanted a heavier duty tire, like the Westlake ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer...

  • 86-1/2 Inch Long Trailer Axle Rated for 5,200 lbs
  • We do not have a trailer axle beam with those exact specs. The closest we have is the Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes - E-Z Lube - 6 on 5-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 86-1/2" - 5.2K # 8327816-EB which is 86-1/2 inches hub-face to hub-face but 71-1/2 inches spring-center to spring-center. You could have new spring seats welded onto this one with the Spring Seat for Typical 5,200-lb to 7,200-lb, Round Trailer Axles with 3" Diameter # TRSS300.

  • Replacement Bearings L68149 and LM67048
  • Since we don't have a kit that has the bearing numbers you mentioned you'd need to order the bearings individually like with part # L68149 and # LM67048, and then for a seal part # RG06-050 and you'd be set. The other number you mentioned is not a carry over replacement for what you have so it would not work.

  • What Size Shackle Straps Should I Use When Installing The Lippert Road Armor LC696740 Kit?
  • Though it will ultimately depend on the size of your current shackles, typically when someone is upgrading to the Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit # LC696740, I recommend also getting the Lippert AP Kit - Tandem Axle Road Armor Wet Bolts and Shackles # LC52SV. This has wet bolts to keep everything from seizing up and beefier 1/2" thick shackles that measure 3-1/8" from center of bolt hole to center of bolt hole. This will usually be perfect for just about anything and everything. However,...

  • Troubleshooting A Solera Slide Out Awning That's Touching The Corner Of The Flange
  • The reason why the extension rod of your Solera RV Slide-Out Awning # LCV000168107 is touching the corner flange piece is either because you have too large of an awning installed or the awning isn't centered on the slide out. If the tension isn't properly split between the two rods then it will pull too much on one side and start touching the flange. Too large of an awning places the extension rods too far out in the mounting brackets and they start to bend. If I could see some pictures...

  • Adapter Cord Needed To Plug A 30 Amp Service Trailer To A 20 Amp Shore Power Pedestal
  • Yes, the Furrion RV Power Cord Adapter - 30A Female to 20A Male # FP3122RSB will work to convert your 30 amp service trailer to accept power from the 20 amp shore power pedestal. The drawback is that you'll not be getting full power to your trailer and will not be able to fully use everything in your trailer like you normally would. This means you may not be able to run your AC depending on the power draw it has.

  • Recommended Travel Trailer Cover For A 2021 Forest River Salem Hemisphere Lite
  • For your 2021 Forest River Salem Hemisphere Lite, I recommend taking a look at the: -Adco SFS AquaShed RV Cover for 5th Wheel Toy Hauler # 290-52255 instead of # AD27ZR, reason being, is # AD27ZR is too short for your trailer. The Adco SFS AquaShed RV Cover however, # 290-52255 has the adequate length for your trailer, and also features reinforced elastic corners that will ensure a snug, tight fit, will also reduce wear and resist tears.

  • Troubleshooting Lippert Powered Stabilizer that Stopped Working with Switch
  • The switch should allow power to go through it when the switch is in the "on" position but if it's off and power is going through it that would not be a good sign. But I believe you are asking about it while in the on position. It's probably a motor since you are able to crank the jacks manually and the switch seems good. You could bypass the breaker and if that allows it to work that would tell you if that's the issue. The replacement would be the # LC134181. If it's the motor then you...

  • Replacement Stabilizer Legs For Lippert Power Stabilizer
  • On the Lippert High-Speed Power Stabilizer Jack 337199 it would appear that the only parts of the legs that are replaceable are the Electric Stabilizer Jack Support Arm # LC1134122 and the Foot Assembly # LC157584. If the black arms are buckled then the entire jack assembly will need to be replaced. Since the 337199 is no longer available you will need the Lippert High-Speed Power Stabilizer Jack # LC369774.
