Expert Answers about K-Z Sportsmen Travel Trailer


  • How to Determine if Ultra-Fab Power Twin II Electric Stabilizers Will Fit
  • It is very likely, but we don't have any way of knowing specific fits for stabilizers, though I can tell you how to determine this. All you need to do is measure outside-to-outside of your Sportsman's frame. If that measurement is between 48 inches and 80 inches then you can use the Ultra-Fab Power Twin II Electric Stabilizer with Dual Motors # UF39-941705.

  • Will Furrion Vision S Backup Camera Work with Prewired 2018 KZ Sportsmen Classic 130RB
  • If your 2018 KZ Sportsmen Classic 130RB travel trailer is prewired for a Furrion camera then yes, the Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System w/ Night Vision # FOS05TASF will work perfectly with it! The part FOS48TA-BL you referenced is the camera system that Furrion just updated to the FOS05TASF and the connections/mounting brackets are interchangeable. One of the best things about the 5" screen option that you are looking at is the ability to add the Marker Light RV Side Cameras...

  • Does Reese Friction Sway Control # 83660 Have to Install at 24 inches
  • The Reese friction sway control part # 83660 has to install at exactly 24 inches. If the clearance is better on the other side of the trailer what you could do is pull out the inner piece of the unit and flip it 90 degrees and reinstall it so that you could install it on the opposite side of the trailer.

  • Replacement Axle Needed for 2018 KZ Sportsmen Classic 130RB
  • I tried looking up the axle measurements for your 2018 KZ Sportsmen Classic 130RB travel trailer but I wasnt' able to locate any specs so the only option I can confidently recommend is the Timbren Axle-Less Suspension system with a lift like part # ASR2KHDS04 which is rated for 2,000 lbs and has a 4" lift. For a more standard axle recommendation I'll need to know your hub face (A) and spring seat (B) measurements that you can see in the attached photo.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch For A 2017 K-Z Sportsmen Classic 14RBT Travel Trailer
  • To get the best performance out a weight distribution hitch you'll want to first know your trailer's fully loaded tongue weight. Once you're fully loaded you could use a tongue weight scale like the # e99044 to get an accurate number to work with. Most likely you'll fall around the 400lb range. If you're experiencing a minor amount of sway then I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA92-00-0450. This system has two friction points (where the frame brackets...

  • Fit of Dexter K71-384-00 Over Under Conversion Kit with 2020 KZ Sportsmen Classic 181BH Camper
  • From what I found online, your 2020 KZ Sportsmen Classic 181BH has a 3500 lb capacity axle, which has an axle beam that's typically 2-3/8 inches in diameter. If that's the case, the Dexter # K71-384-00 Over/Under conversion kit will allow you to move the spring pack to the top of the axle for greater ground clearance. You'll gain about the 2-3/8 inch diameter of the axle beam plus the thickness of the spring pack in height.

  • How To Correctly Measure RV Vent Opening
  • In order to properly measure your RV's vents, you will want to measure the size of the rough opening in your RV's roof. This can be measured by removing the garnish around the vent on the inside of the RV and measuring the size of the rough opening. The most common RV vent's measurements are 14" x 14" like the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Thermostat # MA00-06200K.

  • Portable Solar Panel Kit Recommendation for 2018 Retro Trailer Solar Inlet
  • Thanks for the photo! The Goal Zero Boulder 200 Briefcase Solar Panel # 287-32409 uses a specialized connector that is different from what you have pictures but we have the Go Power Portable Solar Panel with Digital Solar Controller - 200 Watt Solar Panel # 34282610 that comes with an adapter to fit that inlet. A lot of the newer solar panel systems are from Go Power so odds are your trailer is setup with this same brand. This is a plus because this portable kit uses a PWM charger which...

  • What Hardware Needed to Mount 7-Inch Trailer Brake Assembly
  • The nuts and lock washers needed to install a 7 inch brake assembly to the brake mounting flange is part # BRKH7 which includes enough hardware for 2 brake assemblies. I'm not certain what you mean by 'drum without a hub'. If you're talking electric drum brakes, the 7 inch hub drums we offer are one integrated piece like # AKHD-545-2-2K which uses the L44649 inner/outer bearing or # AKHD-545-2-1K which is compatible with the L44643 inner/outer bearing. If instead you meant to say you...

  • Could 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles Replace Shorter Spring
  • If you measured your old springs and they were 25-1/4 inches when worn out you'd most likely need to move your hangers to replace them with the part # e94SR. Now with that said looking at your pictures it does look like your shackle angles are pretty flat so the longer spring could work potentially as-is so you might try and install them and see what it looks like.

  • For replacement arms that fit in place of your 63" tall Solera awning arms we have the Solera Classic Universal Awning Support Arms for RVs which come both in Black # LC434715 and White # LC434716.

  • How Would Furrion LED RV TV Connect to Furrion RV Stereo
  • You can connect your RV's Furrion stereo to the Furrion TV # FEHS28E8A but it does not connect wirelessly. You'd need to use an HDMI cable to provide the connection and you'd be set!

  • What Hose and 2-Stage Regulator Do I Need for My Travel Trailer?
  • The fitting you need is a type 1 like the MB Sturgis Propane Hose w/ Back Check - Type 1 x 1/4" MPT - 20" # 100473-20-MBS. As far as the regulator, I recommend the Camco Vertical 2-Stage Propane Regulator - 160,000 Btu/Hr # CAM59313. If you need the supply hose, that is the # 37207-31255. It is important to note that this supply hose is for the standard 3/8" male fitting on the manifold.

  • Noise Level of Everchill 12V Refrigerator
  • The Everchill 12V Refrigerator # 324-000119 has a sound output of about 34 to 42 decibels. It's hard to provide a specific comparison to standard 120V or gas units as it's going to be dependent on the particular model/size but by comparison the average household (120V) refrigerator typically is around 50 decibels when running. A whisper is usually 20 to 30 decibels.

  • How To Choose Correct Ball Mount for 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch
  • In order to choose the correct ball mount you need to measure the distance from the ground to the top inside edge of the trailer hitch and then subtract the distance from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler while the trailer is level. If the vehicle is higher than the trailer you need a drop but if it's lower you'll need a rise. I have attached a full list of ball mount options below for a 1-1/4" trailer hitch.

  • Recommended RV Storage Cover For A 2017 K-Z Sportsmen Classic 14RBT Travel Trailer
  • For a 2017 K-Z Sportsmen Classic 14RBT Travel Trailer you would actually want the Adco Olefin HD RV Cover for Travel Trailers up to 15' - All Climate + Wind - Gray # AD57ZR, which is 15' in length and covers just the body of the trailer. If you wanted to cover the tongue as well then you could go with a larger one like # AD37ZR, which would have extra material to cover the tongue but would also have a bit more slack since it wouldn't be as tight of a fit. This cover has zippered panels...

  • Availability of Replacement Wheel Studs for AL-KO 8490 Drum
  • The studs on your AL-KO drum should have a 1/2" diameter like the Kodiak # K12WB2 but you will need to filter through the attached link of wheel bolts to find the one that matches your stud length. These are filtered by total length but you can click on each individual page to see the length of the threaded portion to match your application.

  • Correct Gauge Wire Needed for Trailer Electric Brakes
  • We always recommend going with 10 Gauge Wire # 10-1-1 for the electric brakes. Technically 12 Gauge should work but since the wiring has to run a ways we go with the mindset that a slightly larger wire might possibly let a little more power through and give you a better connection. You'll want to use heat shrink butt connectors # DW05745-10 for this installation.

  • Trailer Cover For 2018 KZ Travel Trailer
  • For your 2018 KZ Travel Trailer I recommend the Adco Olefin HD All-Climate + Wind RV Cover for Travel Trailer # AD27ZR which offers the best protection in all climates, and is best used in long term storage. This cover fits travel trailers that are 28'7 long to 31 1/2', and will be more than suitable for Iowa weather. However, this cover will not fit every model of the Sportsmen Series, knowing the model will help narrow down the results to choose the correct cover.
