  • Electric Trailer Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2011 Volkswagen Touareg TDI

The controller comes with a wiring harness. One end plugs into the back of the controller, the other end has blunt cut wires for splicing...

  • Electric Trailer Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2009 Volkswagen Touareg TDI
  • I recommend the Tekonsha P2, # 90885. It is one of our highest rated and most popular brake controller models. If your Touareg has a factory tow package, then you will just need to connect the wires from the brake controller to the tow package wires under the dash. The tow package wiring may be located behind the lower appearance panel beneath the dash and to the right of the emergency brake pedal. It may be on the left, wrapped in grey foam. I have included a link to an FAQ article that...

  • Brake Controller Recommendation for Volkswagen Touareg that Bypasses Install Complexity
  • Yes, the tech bulletin you referenced (which I linked) does apply to your 2013 Volkswagen Touareg for installing a brake controller. That would be why your local shops are a bit leery on the install. A way around the complexity is the RF brake controller part # TK94FR which actually installs on the trailer and uses the brake signal from there which is much easier. All you need is a 7-way with an active 12 volt circuit. I also attached a link to an install video.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2012 Volkswagen Touareg
  • Usually when a Class III trailer hitch is not rated for use with weight distribution it is because the vehicle itself is not rated for weight distribution. Check the owners manual for your 2012 Volkswagen Touareg to determine if it can use weight distribution. Even if the vehicle can use weight distribution you are still limited to the capabilities of the trailer hitch used. In this case none of the hitches for the 2012 Touareg can be used with weight distribution like you said. For a...

  • How To Add Brakes To a 3,500 Axle On Boat Trailer
  • It's actually pretty simple to add brakes to a trailer, especially if you already have a welded-on trailer brake mounting flange which should be present on all 3,500 lb axles. The easiest and most cost effective brakes to install are electric drum which contrary to popular belief can be used on a boat trailer even in saltwater. For this, I recommend the Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-35-SA and Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K. Finally, you'd need the Trailer...

  • Solution for Activating 12 Volt Accessory Circuit of 7-Way on 2012 Volkswagen Touareg
  • Your solution would be exactly what I would do since it will bypass all of the vehicle wiring and take out any of the guess work. Just run 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 through a breaker like part # 9510 from the positive post of the vehicle battery to the 1:00 pin of the 7-way and the circuit would be active and ready to be used by # TK94FR.

  • Tire Chain Recommendation for 2013 Volkswagen Touareg with 19 Inch Rims
  • To choose the best snow chains for your 2013 Volkswagen Touareg we will want to consider the tire size in addition to the rim size. For the 2013 Touareg, there are 2 popular tire size that fit 19 inch rims, 265/50-16 size tires and 265/55-19 size tires. These sizes are different enough that the same tire chains will not fit both sizes.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution W/Sway Control For 2016 Airstream International Serenity
  • When choosing a weight distribution system you want the gross tongue weight to fall near the middle of the range of the tongue weight capacity for the weight distribution system. I would guess the 467-lb you said your Airstream has is the dry weight. You want to use the tongue weight of the trailer when it is loaded and ready-to tow. Then add the weight of any cargo you place behind the rear axle on your Touareg such as coolers, food, camping gear. Many people like to estimate that weight...
