  • Trailer Hitch and Trailer Wiring for my 1965 International Scout 80
  • While there are no custom fit hitches and wiring available for your Scout 80 I do have a couple of solutions for you. For the hitch use the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13703. This hitch offers adjustable side plates and can be attached to the frame of your Scout. You will have to drill holes for the installation of it or weld it on to the frame. For your wiring use the 4-Pole Trailer Connector and Installation Kit part # C59496 which can be wired to the harness...

  • Installing Industry Standard Rail Compatible 5th Wheel Hitch on 2017 Silverado 3500 with OEM Pucks
  • The Reese 20K hitch from your 2012 Silverado, assuming it uses industry standard mounting rails mounted to the bed floor can be used on a 2017 Silverado 3500 by using the Demco # DM6194 adapter. The adapter installs in the housing for the gooseneck ball, and provide a set of industry standard bed rails for your hitch to attach to. Unfortunately, Reese doesn't offer a leg kit like what's used on the # RP30918 hitch that's compatible with the GM puck system. I've linked to a product demonstration...

  • Recommended Bike Carrier and Cargo Carrier Combo for 2006 Dodge Sprinter
  • It sounds like you're probably talking about something like the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Platform Bike Rack w/ Cargo Carrier # HR1450Z-85 which is a 2 bike carrier with a cargo carrier built in. This is a great multi-function carrier that will allow you to carry both bikes and cargo on the back of your 2006 Dodge Sprinter. If you would ever need to carry 4 bikes, I recommend instead going with the # HR1400Z-85 since it comes with a rear 2 bike platform that is removable and can be...

  • Recommended Hitch for 2009 Audi A4 Avant Wagon
  • I was able to confirm with Curt that the correct hitch for the 2009 Audi A4 Avant Wagon is the Curt Class I Round Tube Receiver Hitch # C11195, which will provide you with a 1-1/4" Class I receiver on your vehicle. If you're going to be towing a light weight trailer with this hitch you'll also need trailer wiring and a ball mount/hitch ball combo. For the wiring I recommend using the Tekonsha # 119250KIT because we've found that the converter boxes on the Tekonsha kits are a bit more...

  • Adjusting Braking Power After Installation of Electric Trailer Brake Controller
  • Your trailer wheels should not actually lock up. This is a common misunderstanding because locking the tires actually reduces traction and can cause more issues with your trailer tracking behind your vehicle. You do want your brakes to slow you as quickly as possible but you don't want them to lock up. With the Prodigy P2 # 90885, the adjustment knob set to the max level is going to deliver the most power, but you want to also make sure you have the boost settings set to the max for...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2014 Jeep Wrangler Behind Motorhome
  • First thing you'll need is a base plate kit to flat to your 2014 Jeep Wrangler, which for that I recommend the Roadmaster # RM-521448-5 as is one of the easiest to use options and also is mostly hidden when not in use. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon All Terain,...

  • Replacement Roof Rack Solution for Thule Tracker II Foot Pack 430 Needing Replacement Part
  • You're in a tough spot as Thule has basically phased out your entire roof rack setup from the feet, to the bars, and the fit kit. I wish I had something I could offer that was simple and easy but based on your situation I would go with option 4 and replace everything. The best value on that is the Rhino Rack roof racks for factory tracks like the part # Y02-480B-NT for a 54 inch long bar setup. We also have 65 inch long with part # Y02-500B-NT. These kits fit the same channel dimensions...

  • Wiring Needed to Install Brake Controller in 2005 Holiday Rambler Neptune
  • You checked everywhere the brake controller install harness should have been if it was present. Your best option would be to make the hardwire connections instead. You could run a length of 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by foot) from the 7-way up to the front of the vehicle. Then for running the power and ground wire up to the vehicle battery we have the double bonded wire set part # 10-2-1 which you could use for power and ground. You'll want a 40 amp breaker as well like # 9510. The...

  • LCI Solera Power Awning Replacement Motor
  • It does sound as if your motor like Solera Power Awning Replacement Motor part # LC266149 is drawing too much power during operation causing the fuse to blow when using it. The motor itself offers a very easy installation process done with simple hand tools and already has the Solera plugs installed so you simply plug it right in. This can save you some of the expense at the dealer by doing it yourself. One other cause could be a short in one of the wires running up the arm of you awning...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for 2020 Ford Escape for Use with Draw Tite Hitch
  • The Draw Tite hitch part # DR47FR that fits your 2020 Ford Escape does not include trailer wiring but you can easily add that on with the part # TE54FR for a fit that is easy and overall very reliable! Not everyone who installs a trailer hitch plans to tow a trailer which is why the wiring wasn't included. Some people only want to carry a bike rack or cargo carrier. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts;...

  • Will a B&W Companion for the Ram Prep Package Work with Rotating Pin Boxes and my Ram Box Bed?
  • To keep your fifth wheel from hitting the bed rail sides or Ram Boxes you are going to get that clearance from where the pin box is mounted in the wing plates on the camper itself you can raise or lower it to achieve the clearance you need for those Ram Boxes. You can also adjust your head in the Companion upwards by changing where the pivot arms are bolted in (see video below) at the 1:50 mark. We recommend at least 4" if not closer to 6 or 7" of clearance. If your are close to the 4"...

  • Tips for Installing Trailer Cam Door Style Latch on Trailer With Door that Isn't Flush
  • To use a cam door style trailer latch on a trailer door that sticks out 1 inch past surface you'd want to use a spacer behind the latch mechanisms that attach on the door. I'd also go with a setup like the part # PLR258-002-SS which allows you to provide your own bar. You could attach the latch on top of the bar so that you get more offset as well.

This is important because increased transmission fluid temperatures result...
