  • What Replacement Wheels do I Need for My 2012 Trails West Horse Trailer?
  • From the pictures I have of your 2012 Trails West 2 trailer, it is a dual axle trailer. If this is the case, each wheel maximum weight capacity has to be a minimum of 1,625 if the gross vehicle weight rating is at 6,500 pounds. This is because each wheel capacity contributes to the overall weight capacity of the trailer. It is important to note that the tires should be rated for the actual gross towing weight capacity of the trailer and not the empty weight of the trailer. The gross towing...

  • Parts Needed for Brake Controller Installation in 2004 Volkswagen Touareg

  • Parts Needed to Re-Mount Factory 7 Way on 2013 Volkswagen Touareg
  • I may have a solution for you, but there's not an adapter for anything like this. However, the Curt Echo # C51180 is only 6-5/8" long, and about 1-1/2" of that will be inserted into the factory 7 way plug on your 2013 VW Touareg. I also don't recommend leaving this connected when it's not in use- mostly for security reasons, and so the opportunities for this to actually bottom out will be limited. With that said, you could re-mount the 7 way plug using a new bracket like the Mounting Bracket...
