  • Best Weight Distribution System for a Airstream Base Camp
  • Yes, the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control is the best style of weight distribution for an Airstream Base Camp, and Airstream actually features a video of this system being installed on their trailer so we know we can't go wrong there. The part # BLU47FR you referenced has a tongue weight range of 600 lbs - 800 lbs which is likely too heavy for the loaded tongue weight of the Base Camp so going the next step down with part # BLU36FR which has a tongue weight range of...

  • Troubleshooting Passenger Side Trailer Lights Not Working Until Trailer Is Hitched To Truck
  • Based on your description it sounds like if the trailer is not hitched to the truck but the wiring harness is plugged in the passenger side trailer tail lights do not work, but if the trailer is hitch to the truck that the lights starting working. If this is the case then there is a ground issue on either the truck or trailer. I recommend starting with the main trailer ground on the tongue of the trailer making sure it is securely connected to clean corrosion free metal. If those grounds...

  • How To Tell If a Ford Transit Has the Tow Package and Parts Needed To Add It
  • The Ford Transit if equipped with the factory tow package would have came with both a trailer hitch and trailer connector and they would both be located directly under the rear bumper so odds are you do not have either because they are not hard to locate. The factory tow package was also not a very common option but I can provide you with everything to add this on your own at a fraction of the price. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75912 is a confirmed fit for a 2015...

  • Recommended Wiring Harness for 2015 Ford Transit T250
  • For your 2015 Ford Transit T250, I recommend the Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness w Brake Controller Adapter - 7 Way Trailer Connector # 22114 which will give you everything you need for a complete tow package wiring. If you just want a 4-way trailer connector, then I recommend the Curt T-Cpmmector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56327 which connects to the factory wiring behind each tail light. If you use the 7-way harness, I also recommend...

  • Installing Trailer Brake Controller on 2017 Ford Transit T250
  • There is not a plug-in adapter available for the 2017 Ford Transit T250 that will allow for a plug and play trailer brake controller installation. A brake controller, such as the excellent Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195, will just need to be hardwired to the vehicle using the wires beneath the brake pedal. If the vehicle did not come with the factory tow package or 7-Way connector, you will also need the Tekonsha Vehicle Wiring Harness # 22114. This will include everything needed to install...

  • Parts Needed to Install a 7-Way on a 2017 Ford Transit T250
  • Your 2017 Ford Transit T250 will have a round connector at the rear of it that the part # HM40975 would connect directly to since your vehicle has the tow package. If it didn't have the tow package, you'd need to start with a 4-way like part # C56327. Now if your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way. If you do have trailer brakes, you would need the # ETBC7 instead of the # 37185 and a brake controller. This...

  • Recommended Brake Controller for 2020 Ford Transit 250 with Factory Trailer Connector
  • At this time, the only plug and play connector for your 2020 Ford Transit with factory tow package and 7-way connector is the Curt Echo Wireless # C51180. This will work with any 7-way trailer connector that has 12V power and brake light signal function. It has an internal inertia sensor for proportional braking and utilizes a mobile device with Bluetooth for setting adjustment. None of our manufacturers have a confirmed fit for the transit AWD with a factory plug in harness under...

  • What 7-Way and Brake Controller do You Recommend for My 2022 Ford Transit T250?
  • In order to install a 7-way harness on your 2022 Ford Transit T250, you need a 4-way connector installed already. For that harness, I recommend the T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56327. The T-Connector has a powered converter to ensure that your vehicle's wiring matches that of your trailer. It is also a higher-quality converter box than other brands. Once the 4-way is installed, you are ready for the 7-way. For that harness, you need the Universal...

  • Brake Controller Recommendation for 2019 Ford Transit T250
  • We had the chance to install the very popular Prodigy P3 brake controller part # 90195 on a 2020 Ford Transit T250 which I attached an install video for that will walk you through the entire process. The P3 is one of the best controllers due to how well it works, how reliable it is, and it's full screen display that uses complete words instead of two digit codes like other controllers have. There isn't a port or connector on your vehicle for install of a brake controller but there is wiring...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendations for a 2017 Ford Transit T250
  • Out of the available trailer hitches for your 2017 Ford Transit T250 vans the easiest to install (in that it takes the least amount of time) is Draw-Tite hitch # 75912. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation for you. Curt hitch # C13193 is a fit as well but takes a little more time to install. For towing accessories I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise...

  • Parts Needed to Install Prodigy P2 Brake Controller in 2018 Ford Transit T250
  • Since you have a 7-Way you will only need a few more components to complete a brake controller install on your vehicle. First let's start with a brake controller. I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to set up. Next, for a wiring kit to install the brake controller to the 7-way you would want the Wiring Kit for 2 and 4 Brake Electric Brake Controllers # 5506. This will...

You can either have a local fabrication shop make you some custom brackets and custom fit the running boards, or you need to get new running boards made for your vehicle which would be the # DZ15300A-15328 for the front doors, and # DZ15331A-15328R for the rear doors.

  • Recommended Brake Controller and Installation for 2016 Ford Transit 250
  • If the connector you found looks like the round connector in the picture I attached all you would need to add a 7-way to your vehicle like # HM40975. This would plug into the connector below your vehicle. Once there is a 7-way you would just need to wire it up so that your controller would work with it. For a brake controller, I recommend the Tekonsha P3 # 90195, because of its easy user interface. The P3 is a proportional brake controller which means it senses how the tow vehicle is...

  • Parts Needed to Install 7-Way on 2018 Ford Transit T250 without Tow Package
  • The Curt 7-Way part # C55774 that you referenced is a fit for your 2018 Ford Transit T250 IF it has the factory tow package and the round connector for a 7-way present at the rear of the vehicle. It's possible you don't have the factory tow package and the connector you are looking for just isn't there. I attached a picture of what the connector you'd need looks like. This would require a different route for installing the trailer wiring. Instead you'd need to start with 4-way # HM11140244...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for 2019 Ford Transit T250
  • For your 2019 Ford Transit T250 I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56327, which will plug right into existing ports behind the tail lights and features an extremely reliable converter box that has shown itself to be superior to those from other manufacturers. After making those connection behind the tail lights you will also need to run the hot lead up to the Transit's battery for power. This will provide you with a 4-Way connector to connect with and power the...

  • Installing a Trailer Brake Controller on a 2019 Ford Transit T250
  • I recommend using the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR for your 2019 Ford Transit T250 because it can be installed virtually anywhere and you only need access to the control knob which has a 3/4" diameter. The control knob uses different colors for the LED light on the knob to tell you what is going on so you don't have to try reading a screen plus it gives you have the ability to use either of the popular braking system modes; proportional and user-control (time-delayed). To install this...
