  • Can Curt 4-Way T-Connector Be Secured Near 2012 Ford Van Hitch Receiver
  • There sure is a way to route the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56020 on your 2012 Ford Van so that it stays installed next to your hitch receiver. I'm attaching an installation video of this wiring kit on a 2013 Ford Van that you can follow to accomplish this. I also recommend picking up the mounting brackets # 18144 and # 18140 to secure the 4-Way next to your hitch receiver.

  • Solution for Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2011 Ford E-450 Shuttle Bus
  • In order to add a hitch to your 2011 Ford E-450 Shuttle Bus you need the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41990-07. There are no custom fit hitches for your E-450, so a universal weld-on hitch is the only option. This is a Class V hitch that comes with brackets for a 7" drop. The # 41990-16 is also available and comes with 16" brackets. I recommend taking this to a certified welder for installation.

  • How to Carry Kayak at Front of 1992 Ford E-350 Van
  • Thanks for the photos, and although we do have a solution for you, the Curt Vertical Receiver Adapter # C45013 will only work with vertical OEM hitch receivers, which your 1992 Ford E-350 does not have. Additionally, any type of adapter is going to cut the capacity of your trailer hitch in half - including the tongue weight so adding any type of adapter with the type of cargo you are carrying is likely to push you past your capacity limits. The best option to carry your kayak is going...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring That Stops Working When Headlights are On
  • Your main problem is an insufficient ground for the trailer wiring. Try improving the connection of the main ground wire of the trailer wiring harness. Make sure it is attached to a clean metal surface. Or you can run all of the trailer wires back to the main ground. This is actually the ideal solution. But you can also check the current grounds for the lights to make sure they are making a solid connection to a clean metal surface. What you described is the classic insufficient ground...

  • Can I Purchase a Single SumoSpring Custom Solo Helper Spring to Replace a Damaged One
  • I have a solution for you, but the Sumo Springs are only sold in pairs, so you would need to purchase a complete kit using part # SSR-114-54. While failure of these is fairly unlikely, they can get damaged occasionally and need replacement, so doing this would leave you with an extra spring to use if you ever have the need to make another replacement.

  • Quieter AC Unit Recommendation with Heat Pump and Remote Control
  • The best overall solution since you are wanting quieter, heat pump/strip, and remote control is the Atwood Air Command part # AT15028-22 which covers all of that but has a slightly higher BTU rating at 15k. The smaller units don't have all of the features so that's why the 15k is the way to go. These also blow colder air as we've found as well.
