You should be able to change out the backing plates, hubs, and brakes on your trailer so you can upgrade to higher rated assemblies, but I do recommend checking a couple things on your tow vehicle first. It's possible that your weak braking is due to a wiring or brake controller issue on the vehicle. If this is the case, changing out the brake assemblies on the trailer won't resolve the issue.
I first recommend testing the vehicle side 7-Way with a Multimeter like # PT89ZR. Make sure... view full answer...
While we don't have anything that would bolt right up without some modification we do have service body hitch solutions like the Draw Tite part # 41990-16 which comes with 16 inch drop brackets and it will require welding. view full answer...
Hey Tennille, thanks for reaching out!
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13902 you asked about is designed for pickups. Since you have a 1999 Ford Econoline Van you need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13053 instead.

There are two possible options from Air Lift for your 2009 Tioga 31M. They are as follows:
-Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57242
-Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers - Rear Axle # AL88242
The difference between these two kits is the jounce bumpers. Since you're putting these on a motorhome I would choose the option that has them. This will add extra support and help prevent any bottoming out. Drilling will be... view full answer...
Hey Rick,
The 7-Way connector # ETBC7 would need an inline fuse on the power wire running to the battery and the brake controller # 90885 would also have an inline fuse on it's power wire to the battery. The # ETBC7 comes with a 20a, 30a, and 40a circuit breaker for this purpose.
If you're starting from scratch on your 2000 Ford Van then you'll want to first install the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118344 you were looking at. From there you can start... view full answer...
The connector you're looking for should have a blue, red, and green wire coming out of it just like you saw in the video. In the video it says there are two connectors which you found, but there are some reports of models with 3. The third in that case was the brake controller connector which was taped up to the side. Double check and make sure you don't have this connector as well.
The other thing you can do to locate the correct connection is to trace the wires running from the 7-way.... view full answer...
Hey Franco, we have an easy solution to provide a stoplight circuit on your dump truck with the Roadmaster Universal Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751000. Some vehicles have a hard time finding the stoplight circuit but this switch solves the problem. view full answer...
The amount of leaves on a spring is not really the important bit when you go to replace your leaf springs. Instead, you'd want to go by capacity and the spring measurement.
So for instance, if you needed a leaf spring with an 8,000 lb capacity and measured 24 7/8" long then the 7-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 8,000-lb Trailer Axles # DX74XR.
Let me know below what you're looking for below and I'd be happy to help you. view full answer...
The crossbars on the # TH29055XT measure 3" x 1-1/2". The Yakima JayLow # Y04073 fits a max crossbar size of 3-1/2" x 1-11/16" and the BowDown Y04042 fits a max crossbar size of 3" x 1-1/2" so both will work. The Malone FoldAway-J # MAL98FR fits a maximum crossbar size of 3-1/2" x 1-1/2" so it will also fit with the rack. It looks like all of the current roof bike rack offerings from Yakima and Malone are capable of fitting these crossbars so you won't have an issue. view full answer...
Hey Gary, thanks for reaching out!

Sorry Jennifer, I am a bit confused as you were looking at the Replacement U-Clamp Bracket # RM-B141 which mounts with bolts and not U-bolts. This part works with the Split Bushing # RM-205217-10 for the discontinued Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar 1209-100.
If this is not what you were looking for then please let me know what part you are needing the U-bolts for. view full answer...
I have used mothballs in the past for the engine compartment but that is hit or miss and you have to keep up with them. My uncle lives out in the woods and he has tried just about everything. The only thing he has had decent luck with is keeping the hood popped open on any vehicle he doesn't drive frequently so rodents can't hide in there. However, his vehicles sit under a car port so they're still protected and this really wouldn't work with a cover on. Eventually he got a cat which was... view full answer...
Hi Kevin,
We do have the right front anti-sway bar for your 2013 Ford E350 Super Duty cargo van, though I checked with Roadmaster and the part you mentioned is not a fit. Instead, what you will need is an anti-sway bar from Hellwig:
- Hellwig Front Anti-Sway Bar # HE26GR
I verified with Hellwig for you this will fit your van, and is a very nice upgrade to help improve its overall handling. And just to be thorough, if you do find yourself wanting or needing a rear bar, the correct part... view full answer...
