  • Fit and Compatibility of Husky Centerline TS Weight Distribution System
  • Don't worry, I can help explain how to find the right weight distribution system for you. First thing to know is to choose the right weight distribution it will be based on loaded tongue weight, which is typically between 10-15 percent of the trailer and anything in addition to that loaded behind the rear axle. It's important that you fall within the middle of the loaded tongue weight capacity for best support. Based on your GVW that puts you at anywhere from 387-708lbs. The Husky Centerline...

  • Are the Optional Car Clips Needed to Mount Rightline Saddlebag on a 2010 Chevy Traverse w/Roof Rack
  • That is correct you can attach the Rightline Saddlebag, # RL100B90 to side rails or crossbars and not have to use the optional clips, # RL100605. These clips would be needed if the vehicle did not have raised side rails or crossbars on the roof. We usually ship orders of items in stock on the same day depending on the time of day it is. I am certain that many places sell the same bag but why shop anywhere else when you have etrailer.com at your fingertips!
