Expert Answers about CrossRoads Sunset Trail Super Lite Travel Trailer


  • Towing a Travel Trailer with a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  • I looked up the owners manual for your truck and your maximum trailer weight capacity is 9,200 lbs and your GCWR is 15,000 lbs. Timbrens # TGMRCK15S are designed to help support the rear of the vehicle when towing a trailer. They essentially stop the vehicle from sagging too far in the rear. I recommend getting a weight distribution hitch that pairs well with the travel trailer that you decide on. We have many to choose from that will help with sagging and sway control. I have provided...

  • Could Curt RV Hitch C19101 Be Used to Flat Tow a Vehicle
  • There's not reason the Curt hitch # C19101 couldn't fit the rear bumper of your 2020 Crossroads Sunset and be used to flat tow a vehicle as long as it weighed less than 3,500 lbs.

  • Recommended MoRryde Equalizer and Replacement Shackles for a 2023 CrossRoads Sunset Trailer
  • Thanks for the measurements and additional information! To determine which MORryde Equalizer you need you'll want to measure the distance at the bottom of your current equalizers from the center to the center of the bolt holes. The MORryde item # MR87ZR measures 6-1/2" and is for 33" wheelbases. The MORryde item # MR27ZR measures 8" and is for 35" wheelbases. I have linked a couple of diagrams below. To replace your 2-1/4" shackles, I recommend the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit item...

  • How To Measure a Trailer Hub/Drum for Replacement
  • In order to correctly measure a hub/drum you'd need to do so on the inside, where the shoes ride. I have attached a photo below that shows this. The Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # AKHD-545-35-K for example measures 10" x 2-1/4". I have attached all of our options below.

  • Determining Which Braking Assemblies Fit 2016 Crossroads Sunset Trail Super Lite 15 250RB
  • The correct braking assemblies for your 2016 Crossroads Sunset Trail Super Lite 15 250RB are going to be dependent on the size of your drums. Since your trailer has a GVWR of 7582 and tandem axles it more than likely uses 10" brake assemblies which are the Dexter # 23-468-469 or the etrailer # AKEBRK-35-SA. You can confirm this by measuring the diameter and depth of your drums following the included diagram. Neither kit comes with new mounting hardware so if your current hardware is in...

  • Lifting a Fifth Wheel to Fit a New and Taller Truck
  • I have been in contact with Lippert, and I was able to get the individual brackets # LC84PJ added to our site. These will be direct replacements for the Lippert LC407131. As you are only needing these for the center hangers, you will need four of these to get you up and running.

  • How To Install Furrion Vision S Camera System So It Works When Trailer Is Unhooked From Truck
  • Yes, you would need to wire the cameras of the Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Observation Camera System w/ Side Marker Light Cameras - 5" Screen # FCE48TASL-05 differently to use them when you are not hooked up to your truck, or you would need to find a way to send power to only the running light circuit from your trailer's battery when you are hooked up to shore power. How we typically recommend you do this is running a power wire to each camera yourself and then connecting them to a switch...

  • 5th Wheel Hitting RamBoxes When Turning While Being Towed By A Ram 2500
  • What you're going to want to do is replace your pin box if you're hitting your Ram Boxes while making sharp turns. If you have a Lippert 1716, 1116, and 0115 pin box then # RP77FR is the correct pin box. If you have a Lippert 0719, 1621, and 1621HD then # RP34FR is the correct pin box. The MORryde Cushioned 5th Wheel Pin Box for 11.5K to 14K Trailers w/ Atwood AB-72 # MR73VR you reference is not going to fix the issue you're having, what this is going to do is reduce back and fourth chucking...

  • Can The MaxxAir MaxxFan Roof Vent Lid Be Open While Driving
  • No, the lid for the MaxxAir MaxxFan Mini Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan # MA00-04301M has to be closed while driving. The workaround to this is to install the MaxxAir FanMate RV and Trailer Roof Vent Cover # MA00-955001. This cover is designed specifically to fit over your vent to allow you to utilize your vent while traveling or in any inclement weather. It installs using EZClip pins that will simply slide through the four connection points already on your MaxxAir Vent.

  • How to Select Weight Distribution/Sway Control Hitch for Travel Trailer with 1000-lbs Tongue Weight
  • The ideal situation for using a weight distribution hitch is that the towing system's total tongue weight (TW) falls in the middle of the hitch's operating range. Total TW consists of the fully loaded trailer's actual measured TW (measure with scale # e99044) plus the weight of cargo in the tow vehicle that sits behind the rear axle. For the best towing performance this combined figure should fall near the middle of the system's range. Please refer to the article and video for more details. The...

  • Does Price Matter When Replacing An A-Frame Electric Jack
  • Typically the only difference between similar capacity jacks is just how quickly or quietly they operate. You won't really see that large of a difference between various models so the Electric Jack w/ Footplate # EJ-3520-BBX you were looking at will be just as good, if not better, than the more expensive options. Personally, I prefer jacks that come with a drop leg, like this model does, to speed up the lifting process. As long as you choose the correct capacity, install properly, and...

  • Troubleshooting A Drive RV Stereo System That Isnt Reading DVDs
  • The Drive RV Stereo # 324-000148 you currently have isn't going to play Blu-ray DVD's so if you're trying to play anything other than a standard DVD you won't be able to. Typically if DVD's aren't reading you can use some compressed air to blow out the disc reader as it may have some dirt/debris causing this issue. Other than cleaning the disc tray and the disc there isn't much you can really besides taking the stereo apart and replacing the disc reader which wouldn't be worth the time...

  • Determining Cutout For Furrion Electric Fireplace on a 2017 CrossRoads Sunset Trail 310RL
  • The Furrion RV Electric Fireplace # FF34SW15ABL will allow you to mount it in 2 different cutout sizes. The difference is if your cabinet is deep enough and if it is able to protrude from the cabinet surface. With the cutout: 30-9/16" wide x 16-1/4" tall x 5" deep the fireplace will sit out from the cabinet 1-1/4". The instructions refer to this as Half-Flush, see link below. The cutout: 33-3/16" wide x 17-13/16" tall x 7-3/16" deep will only only stick out the thickness of the front...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommend for 2012 CrossRoads Sunset Trail Super Lite Wont Interfere with Stabilizer
  • I have a better hitch solution for your 2012 CrossRoads Sunset Trail Super Lite than the # 13703. Instead I'd recommend the Curt # E-100 as this hitch installs on the 4 inch square bumper your trailer has which allows you to not have worry about stabilizer jack interference, installs much easier, and gives you a hitch that's easier to access as it won't be recessed behind the rear bumper. This has same capacities as the # 13703 that you referenced as well.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2020 Ford Escape
  • The trailer hitch I recommend for a 2020 Ford Escape (All Models Except Hybrid) is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C23FR. The Curt hitch is an excellent option because it has a hidden design which means you only have to see the receiver tube under the rear bumper, not the bulky and unsightly cross tube therefore you will retain a very factory-like appearance. Furthermore, the Curt hitch because it has a hidden design will provide the best ground clearance as well so no need to worry...

  • How Much Grease Should I Buy To Pack Wheel Bearings
  • The Prime Guard Wheel Bearing Hi-Temp Red Grease part # L11380 16-oz tub will be enough to pack the wheel bearings and grease the spindle on your travel trailer. I have attached a helpful article for your reference about packing the bearings. The grease is designed for wheel bearings and other automotive parts such as ball joints and steering linkages so you can use it on other projects as well.

  • Can a Weight Distribution Hitch Be Set Up and Used On Truck and Trailer On Driveway Hill?
  • It is always best to install any Weight Distribution Hitch # EQ37100ET on flat ground to ensure you have the trailer level and bars set to the correct amount of tension. This will help you to ensure it is set correctly and will not damage the hitch. Once you know the system is set correctly on flat ground it is recommended to remove the spring bars when transitioning from the street onto a steep driveway. This is necessary to ensure the bars or L-brackets do not become damage due to the...
