Expert Answers about Forest River Surveyor Travel Trailer


  • Lippert SolidStep Fold Down Step for 2006 Forest River Surveyor SV 303
  • Since your doorway is 24 inches wide and the threshold is 31-1/2 inches from the ground the correct Lippert SolidStep is the part # LC698799 which is a triple step. A four step version of this would be too tall to fit properly so the triple step is the way to go.

  • Troubleshooting Wiring For Trailer Tail Lights
  • Troubleshooting wiring can be challenging and there are many possible culprits. I would start on the vehicle side by making sure your grounds are firmly secured to a clean metal surface. Next, check your 4-way connector and make sure no debris or corrosion causing problems. After that, check to make sure wires are firmly connected function to function with a circuit tester like Item # PTW2993. If you are still having problems, check the wires and see if any are loose or pinched. If...

  • Recommended Timbren Axle-Less Suspension System for 2017 Forest River Surveyor
  • Installing the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System on your trailer is a great idea. I recommend sticking with a 3,500 pound system to match what you currently have. While the axle is typically the primary factor when it comes to determining a trailer's overall capacity, it is not the only component that contributes to its limit. The hubs, wheels, frame itself, etc will all work to establish the trailer's listed limits. This simply means that replacing the 3,500 pound axles on your...

  • Can The Adco Olefin HD RV Cover Be Installed While The Trailer Is Wet
  • The Adco Olefin HD RV Cover for Travel Trailers up to 22' # AD47ZR does have built-in vents to allow for the trailer to breathe and reduce moisture but it's best to wait to cover the trailer until it's dry to avoid mold/mildew growth that might not be able to dry properly while the cover is on.

  • Recommended Vent Cover Replacement For A 2016 Forest River Surveyor Travel Trailer
  • Manufacturers do not list the vents they use for their RV's so since I do not know whether your model is a Ventline, MaxxAir, etc. I recommend using the Replacement Lid for Jensen, Ventline, Elixir, and Ventadome RV Roof Vents # A10-3375 which has brackets to make it compatible with every brand. I also recommend the MaxxAir II RV and Trailer Roof Vent Cover w/ EZClip # MA86JR which will allow you use your vent during any weather and also while driving unlike standard roof vent cover models.

This is cover uses a high-density polyethylene construction that is UV resistant and will also protect your roof vent from rain and other debris. If you have a MaxxFan this is a no drill installation but it can be used on other vents as well with some drilling.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch For a 2016 Forest River Surveyor Travel Trailer 6,650LBS Dry
  • For your 2016 Forest River Surveyor I am going to recommend the Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution System # RP66084. As you did not list your exact model I checked the models with your dry weight and I believe that you either have a 285IKDS(713lbs tongue weight) or 32RKDS(849lbs tongue weight). The tongue weight is the important number to consider when selecting your weight distribution hitch. The Reese Straight-Line that I recommend is compatible with tongue weights from 700-1200lbs....

  • Recommended RV Cover For A 2018 Forest River Surveyor 251 RKS In Michigan
  • The specs I'm seeing for a 2018 Forest River Surveyor 251 RKS show it being over 29' so I first recommend measuring your trailer and ensuring you are choosing the correct sized cover. The Adco SFS Aquashed Cover # 290-52243 is best for moderate climates so you'll want the Adco Polypropylene Cover # 290-74845 instead. It is rated for all climates and the heavy-duty, 4-layer fabric protects against UV rays, dirt, wind, and snow. The slip-seam strap system ensures snug fit and prevents damage...

  • Can I Use the Dexter EZ Flex Equalizers with 3500-lbs Axles
  • I can understand why this might be confusing, and the Dexter EZ Flex # K71-652-00 will work with axles that have capacities up to 6000-lbs, so you would be under that capacity with your 3500-lbs axles. With that said, there will be some additional dimensions you want to confirm on the trailer to make sure it's going to work. In order to make sure this system is completely compatible you will need to be confirm a few measurements. You'll want to be sure you are using 9/16" shackle bolts...

  • Replacement Wheel For A 2018 Forest River Surveyor Travel Trailer
  • The Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel # AM20352 will replace your 14x6jj rims on your 2018 Forest River Surveyor Travel Trailer. These rims are a 1/2 inch more narrow then your current rims. The rim has a bolt pattern of 5 on 4-1/2 inches and has a wheel bolt size of 1/2 inch-20. The wheel has a weight capacity up to 2,200 pounds. The Aluminum Lynx Trailer Wheel # LHSL311 will not match up with your 14x6jj rims currently on your travel trailer. I attached a review video link below.

  • What Parts Are Needed to Use a Roof Top Tent on a CX Truck Cap
  • To use a roof top tent like the Yakima SkyRise HD Tent # Y07437 on your CX Truck Cap that only has tracks, you would need to add crossbars. The A.R.E toppers use either Yakima or Thule tracks. Both of those would be compatible with the Replacement Yakima Control Tower # Y8890027 (you would need to get 4), the Landing Pad 1 for Yakima SkyLine and Control Towers # Y00221 (you would need to get 2) and the Round 66" CrossBars for Yakima Roof Rack System # Y00410.

  • Easiest Power Awning Conversion Kit To Install On a 2010 Forest River Surveyor With Dometic Awning
  • I recommend using the Solera 18V Power RV Awning Conversion Kit # LC434730 on your 2010 Forest River Surveyor as this is the easiest kit to upgrade your camper to power awing. It uses a rechargeable battery pack that is located inside the front arm which means you do not have to run any additional wiring to operate your awing. The battery pack will allow you to operate your awing 22-25 times before needing charged. To charge the battery you only need plug the included charger into the connection...

  • How To Find Correct Replacement Axle for Forest River Surveyor
  • I don't know what axle your trailer uses either unfortunately but if you can take a bit of time to measure the exact spring center length, hub face length, and note the weight capacity on the axle tag you can determine fit for yourself matching the above up with an option below such as the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam part # T3584F-8974 which has a 3,500 lb capacity and measures 89" at the hub face and 74" at the spring center.

  • Replacement Tail Lights for a 2018 Forest River Surveyor
  • I was able to find some photos of a 2018 Forest River Surveyor online and based on that it looks like the LED Trailer Tail Light part # 328-003-81LBM1 for driver side which has the license plate mount and part # 328-003-81BM1 for the passenger side will work. These tail lights are also LEDs so they shine brighter and last longer than incandescents.

  • Why Are My Tires Blowing About Every 2 Years
  • With the information that you provided it would not be a weight issue. After doing some research it could be a few things. First you need to make sure that you're inflating your tires to the maximum PSI, If tires are underinflated, the tires can wear on the inside rather than evenly around the tread. Another option could be that your trailer suspension is not perfectly squared or the axle isn't straight and the tries can reflect by wearing unevenly, and finally I would check the hub....
