You will deduct the trailer weight. The tandem 3,500 lb axles are able to hold 7,000 lbs combined assuming weight is distributed equally between them. Most trailers list a dry weight, or unloaded vehicle weight, which is the weight of the trailer with nothing in it. They also list a cargo carrying capacity which is how much you can carry in the trailer along with the GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) which is the max weight fully loaded. Tongue weight is generally deducted from this since... view full answer...
Hi Russ,
There's a few things that you'll need to check in order to get the right ball mount for your setup. First you'll want to check the coupler size of the trailer. With the boat/trailer weighing in round 5,000lbs you likely have a 2" ball coupler.
From there you'll want to level the trailer and measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler. Next you'll measure from the top of the trailer hitch receiver tube opening on your GLS to the ground. When you compare these two measurements... view full answer...
Hi Jackson,
In order to find the correct rise/drop ball mount for your setup you'll also want to measure from the ground to the top of the Ram's trailer hitch receiver tube opening. The difference between this measurement and the 12" trailer coupler height will be your needed rise/drop. Do you tow multiple trailers with different ball sizes or coupler heights? Are there any other features you'd like to have with your ball mount? view full answer...
Hey Wanda, I checked with Thule and the weight capacity for the Dog Trailer Kit for Thule Courier Bike Trailer and Stroller # TH79HC is 97 lbs. view full answer...
Hey Gene! You're definitely going to want to go with the 12,000 lbs capacity Trailer Valet RVR12 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly item # TV59FR. The tongue weight capacity on the item # TVRVR9 is only 900 lbs so it will be way under rated for your Heartland trailer. view full answer...
There can be weight applied to the tow vehicle, so to measure tongue weight for weight distribution at a commercial scale, what you want to do is, with your vehicle and trailer fully loaded like you're headed on a trip, drive on to the scale with all 4 wheels of the truck and record the weight of the truck with the trailer attached.
Then unhook the trailer and jack up the trailer tongue so there is no weight on the hitch ball (make sure that the trailer jack is not on the scale). Record... view full answer...
Thanks for reaching out, Roxanne!
The biggest factor in choosing the correct trailer for hauling your adult tricycles is figuring out how much width you need for your trailer floor. For example, the Detail K2 Mighty Multi A-Frame Utility Trailer # K2MMT5X7 bed measures 88" long x 52" wide so if that will fit both the bikes side-by-side (one facing forwards and one facing backwards) then this trailer will work for you!

Yes, you can! So long as our Kenda Loadstar 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" White Wheel item # AM30820 is the same size and bolt pattern as what's on your Ironton trailer it can be used not only as a spare but also on your trailer with the stock tires.
The Kenda item # AM30820 has a 12" diameter x 4" wide wheel with a bolt pattern of 5 on 4-1/2". The tire is a 5.30-12, with a section width of 5.6", and an outer diameter of 21.9". view full answer...
Hi Anthony,
Yes, you can replace 235/75-15 trailer tires with 205/75-15 tires, you just need to make sure the tires have the correct load capacity. You just need to make sure the combined capacity of the tires should meet or exceed the GVWR of your trailer, and here are your options:
- Load Range C - 1,820 lb Capacity: Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # TTWTRTM2057515C
- Load Range D - 2,150 lb Capacity: Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # TR20515D view full answer...
Hey Ivan,
Yes, this is a pretty common request for trailer owners that also want to haul their boat, golf cart, ATV, etc. so they add a trailer hitch and tow a second trailer. This is called triple towing and can be dangerous because you're adding more length and a second pivot point so there are laws and restrictions on triple towing that you'll want to research before attempting it. Usually the state and local municipalities you'll be driving through will need to be checked. I don't... view full answer...
Hi Glenn,
I'm sure we have lights for your Karavan trailer but have no way of knowing specifically what lights are on any one trailer. So you will need to measure your current tail lights and find the ones that most closely match your measurement.
For example, the LED Trailer Combination Tail Light # STL39RB is 4-1/2" tall x 5" wide x 2-1/2" thick.
I have added a link below to our entire selection of trailer lights which you can filter through by size. view full answer...
The smallest wheel center pilot bore we have for a 4.80-12 trailer tire is going to be 2.84". Here is a list of the wheel and tire packages we have with that measurement. Do understand all these wheels are designed to be lug centric so they do not have to be the same size as the hub center.

Hello Derek. I can definitely point you in the right direction. Unfortunately, we do not have a way to accurately recommend a hub or bearings based on just the model of trailer. Knowing the axle weight capacity can help to narrow things down. The only way for you to truly know what hub to get will be for you to go to the trailer, remove one of the hubs and unpack the bearings. Each bearing should have a number stamped on the edge which we can use, or you can measure the OD and ID with a... view full answer...
To get the hub face to hub face dimensions on your Magic Jack trailer axle you'll want to put the trailer on jack stands so that you can take the wheels off and then measure from one hub face to the other hub face.
I have linked a diagram below to show you exactly where to measure.
The closest we are going to have to 101" is going to 95" like the Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Idler Hubs item # 7359765-I you were looking at. view full answer...
Hey John,
The Demco Trailer Coupler # DM88XR is a channel mount style coupler and would need to connect to a channel like the # DM55342. We offer different channel mounts and versions with the channel built into an actuator so finding the correct part to go with it is going to depend on the style of the trailer tongue. If you want to send me some pictures and measurements of the trailer tongue if it's a straight tongue then I can pick out some options for you. view full answer...
Hello Edwin. The Curt Class 1 Hitch # C11258 for the 2015 Chevy Sonic is rated for towing up to 2,000 lbs. Based on what I can see online a SeaDoo RXP 300 weighs about 780 lbs. I imagine the corresponding trailer is fairly light as well. So, as long as the weight of the jetski and the trailer is less than 2,000 lbs you can absolutely pull a trailer with this hitch. view full answer...
The bearing combination on your trailer is obsolete so there are no hubs that will fit. The best solution would be to replace the axle that has a spindle with a modern bearing combination. You will need to measure the hub face distance (length) to find a replacement. We have the following available:
-Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs - 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 60" Long - 2,000 lbs # e82GR for 13" to 15" wheels

Hey there Bob; thanks for the question, and the 18,000 lb capacity B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3255 will work for you so long as 17,500 lbs is the fully loaded weight of your trailer and not the dry weight.
Basically, does your trailer have a 17,500 lb GVWR? If so then yes, you can definitely use the Patriot # BWRVK3255.
The hitch just needs to match (or ideally exceed) the GVWR of your trailer. So for example if the GVWR was 18,500 lbs a great option would be the 20,000... view full answer...
The max boat length for the CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer # CE48870 is 14' so it will not work for your boat. Instead, you could use a trailer like the Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer # MPG535 which has a maximum boat length of 20'. I'm not sure if the crossbars will work, that probably depends on your exact boat model. If you would rather have bunk boards you could add the Bunk Kit # MPG561 view full answer...
I would be happy to! For your 7,518 lbs trailer you will want to confirm your total tongue weight before purchasing a hitch.
Total tongue weight is the tongue weight of your fully loaded and ready to tow trailer plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. The easiest way to get an accurate tongue weight measurement is with a tongue weight scale like item # e99044 but there are other methods outlined in the included help article I linked below.
