Recommended Weight Distribution System for Grand Design Transcend Xplor 245RL
The weight distribution system I recommend for a Grand Design Transcend Xplor 245RL is the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System part # C17500 which has integrated sway control and an included pre-torqued hitch ball. The Transcend Xplor 245RL has a GVWR of around 8,000 lbs which will be right in the middle of this system. Sway control isn't required but it's a huge added benefit in regards to performance. In regards to towing capability, if the max capacity of the vehicle exceeds the...

Picking Out Replacement Brake Assemblies and Leaf Springs for 2021 Grand Design 297QB
I don't have a way to know what axle capacity your trailer has so I am not able to determine that for you but I can help you figure out what you would need. Check the axles on your trailer and you should see a label that has the capacity listed. With that we can determine the correct brake assemblies like the part # AKEBRK-35-SA which fit the very common 3,500 lb axles. For leaf springs we would also need the length of your current springs. For example the part # e54SR fits 3,500 lb axles...

What Is The Best All Weather RV Cover For My Grand Design Transcend 265BH
The Classic Accessories PolyPro III Deluxe Travel Trailer Cover - Model 6 30'- 33' RVs Grey # 052963736632 will fit travel trailers from 30-33 feet long and with a maximum height of 118 inches. It is better suited for wet climates and offers better than average UV/Dust protection. I recommend the Adco Olefin HD All-Climate + Wind RV Cover for Travel Trailer - Up to 34' Long - Gray # AD59ZR. It is an all climate long term cover that offers the best UV/Dust and weather protection. It will...

What is Amperage Output of Furrion Solar Panel Kit # FR73SR

Replacement Grease Cap for 2021 Grand Design Transcend 245RL
More than likely the correct grease cap for your 2021 Grand Design Transcend 245RL is the Replacement EZ Lube Drive-In Grease Cap # 21-41-1. This has an outer diameter of 1.986" so you will need to measure the inside diameter of your hub bore to see if it matches. From what I found, Grand Design used four different hubs on this particular trailer so there is no other way to be sure. If you need the rubber plugs as well you can use # RG04-010. Regarding the black lug nuts, that is not something...

Could Aluminum Wildcat Lionshead Trailer Wheel LH59VR Fit Grand Design
Hey Kevin, so I don't have a way to verify what tire size your trailer has but as long as what you have is a 15 inch wheel tire size and a bolt pattern of 5 on 4-1/2 inch then yes the Wildcat Trailer Wheel part # LH59VR would fit and work great. The 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern is for sure the most popular 5 lug bolt pattern.

Will JT's Strong Arm Stabilizer LC191025 Fit A 2021 Grand Design Transcend Xplor W/ Angled Jacks?
It is possible that the JT's Strong Arm Jack Stabilizer Kit for Travel Trailers # LC191025 will work with your angled scissor jacks but only if there is a crossmember rearward of the rear jacks at a minimum of 4” to a maximum of 18”, and locate a cross-member or center compartment with a steel floor from 6”-18” from front of front jacks. If you do not have a crossmember in these locations the best option would be to use the Ultra-Fab Chock and Lock Wheel Stabilizer for Tandem-Axle Trailers...

Can Mount N Lock SafetStruts Install on 2023 Grand Design Transcend 247BH
That's a really good question but the best way to know if the bumper of your 2023 Grand Design Transcend 247BH would require reinforcing would be to check with Grand Design to determine if the bumper has a weight capacity for towing or if it's even rated for towing or not. If it's rated for towing it would be fine but if not you'd want to run the install of the Mount N Lock SafetyStruts # MO22FR by them and see what they think.

Adding Additional Sway Control With Blue Ox Weight Distribution System
It would be difficult to add a Friction Sway Bar # 83660 to a Blue Ox weight distribution hitch. The mounting points required just aren't there as the manufacturer never intended for both to be required. Plus you have the added hassle of removing it when doing tight turns and backing up. I recommend add the Tuson Sway Control # 335TSC-1000 as it will work in conjunction with the system that you currently have in place. It utilizes the brakes on your trailer to reduce and prevent sway...

How to Determine Which TorkLift Stow N Go Steps Will Work With My Grand Design Transcend TT
We don't have that info handy unfortunately, but finding out what you need is pretty straight forward. What you'll need to do to see if the TorkLift GlowStep Stow N' Go Scissor Steps w/ Landing Gear # TLA7835 will replace your OEM steps or not is, measure the width and height of the mounting bracket location - you're going to need at least a 23" wide and 3-1/2" tall space.

Correct Mount-n-Lock SafetyStruts for 2022 Grand Design Transcend Xplor 321BH
The answer to your question will depend on your bumper. More than likely the # MO22FR will be the correct part for your Grand Design Transcend Xplor 321BH. If you have a tube frame with a bumper that is 4" - 4-1/2" wide then this will work as extra support for your carrier and generator. You can see this in the attached review video at the 2 minute mark. If you have an I-beam, S-beam, or single channel frame you want the universal # MO34VR instead. If you don't have a carrier already Mount-n-Lock...

TorkLift Glowstep Revolution Size Selection
Since you have the 27" wide entryway, the only additional thing we need to know is the "Entry Height." The attached photo will show you how to measure from the top mounting point to the ground. From there use the attached chart. For instance if your entry height was 38" high, then you would use # TLA8004. Watch this though: If your entry height was 36" then you could use # TLA8004 or # TLA8003. The steps for taller entryways will extend out further. The steps for shorter entryways...

Recommended Upgraded Equalizers For A 2021 Grand Design Transcend Xplor Travel Trailer
Hey James, If you have standard equalizers with a 5-3/4" horizontal and 2" vertical measurement then the Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit # K71-652-00 would be the correct replacement for you. If you're saying that you already have those and are wanting something else then you can go with the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers # LC279687. These have a 5-1/2" horizonal and 2-1/2" vertical measurement so you'll probably have enough slack in the shackle straps to accommodate this difference without...
