The Ultimate Trailer Jack # 322-RDJ-2K is going to be the best option we have for your 2021 Karavan 5x8 utility trailer. This will mount into the A-Frame mounting holes and easily retracts and extends as needed. I am not aware of anyone who makes a tongue jack that will mount in this position and then fold up and down as needed. Those types of jacks like the Dutton-Lainson # DL22300 are going to bolt to the side of the trailer frame. view full answer...
Great question, Wayne!
The 5K Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit for 2" x 3" Trailer Tongue # FHDPB230101 is designed more for cutting into an existing trailer tongue so you gain the ability to fold it away for easier storage. If you have a really short tongue then it's possible to add some more material to it and still maintain a respectable weight rating . For example, in the weight rating chart it states that if the edge of the coupler back to the furthest pivot hole on the hinge kit... view full answer...
Hey Rick,
You'll want to remove the union plate that attaches the tongue to the trailer and bolt on the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit # FHDPB230101. This will allow you to fold your Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer # MAL53FR in and cut down the length of the trailer. view full answer...
I checked with Fulton and there's no difference other than the part numbers for their HDPB330101 and our item # FHDPB330301. This is common when they're sold by different vendors. They both fit a 3" x 3" trailer coupler, have a zinc finish, and are made of steel.
Since your boat trailer's tongue is 3" x 3" then the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit item # FHDPB330301 would work great for you. All the necessary hardware is included. You will want to ensure that your trailer's tongue material... view full answer...
Hey Robert, thanks for reaching out!
We have the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit for 3" x 3" Trailer Tongue # FHDPW330300 but this is only able to help add 4' to the tongue.
Since you're needing a bit more length you'll want to reach out to a trailer shop and see if they can modify something for you. view full answer...
Hey Steven,
You can definitely swap out the Lippert Quick Drop Tongue Jack # LC733926 on your trailer for the Trailer Valet JXS Trailer Jack w/ Footplate # TV64FR. You'll just want to measure the frame and make sure it falls under the maximum tolerances (4-3/4" tall x 3-3/4" tall) of the mounting brackets. If the frame is larger you can also shoot some self-tapping screws through the bracket to mount it to the frame instead of clamping onto it. I recommend keeping the bracket slightly... view full answer...
Although we do not have a premade kit I can help you put the parts together. As long as you have slack in the wire it will allow you to still use the folding tongue. You also need to find your axle capacity and possibly bearing combination since you will need new brake assemblies along with new hub and drum assemblies.
In addition to the hubs and brakes you're going to need wiring, a breakaway kit, and a brake controller. I recommend the following:

Hey Ken, I was a little surprised to find out that the tongue weight capacity of your 2023 Chevy Trailblazer is only 100 lbs which seems really low for a vehicle of that size. So to explain why the Draw Tite hitch part # DT55GR has a higher capacity than that is the manufacturers of the hitches design a hitch to fit the vehicle and then reinforce it to make it as strong as possible and then independently rate it.
E-bike racks are generally a little heavier but our lightest option is the... view full answer...
I've got the perfect bike rack for you. Take a look at the Saris MHS Modular Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Tilting, part # SAR35MR. This bike rack is designed to fit 2" trailer hitches and can accommodate a total of 3 bikes. The two positions closest to vehicle cam accommodate bikes up to 80 lbs, and the position farthest from the vehicle can accommodate up to a 35 lb bike.
This hitch bike rack comes loaded with features like, bike and hitch locks, and an easy to access front lever... view full answer...
If you're getting power to the pins but the lights aren't lighting up then you have either a grounding issue or a short somewhere in your circuit.
You'll need to start by checking the main connector grounds, and make sure they are attached to clean and corrosion free bare metal surface. Your trailer light grounds should also be attached to a clean, and bare metal surface.
If there is anything between the light grounds and the metal trailer frame, if the trailer has an aluminum frame,... view full answer...
Hi Karen,
The Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # TH903202 unfortunately can't be used with the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender # PVD20B because the EasyFold has a built in hitch adapter. Manufacturers do not recommend using two adapters at the same time as this can cause a failure.
If you switch to a bike rack with a solid shank like the Hollywood Racks Destination E Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY66ZR then you'd be able to use the adapter # PVD20B to clear... view full answer...
Our manufacturers don't offer the pivot bolts separately at this time, but you could easily pick one up at a local hardware store or a competing online retailer if they offer one. You just need a grade 8 bolt and lock nut that is long enough to go through the pivot hinge. The general rule is to use a bolt that is as long as the height of the frame plus 1.5 inch.
Our fold-away hinges come with bolts ranging from 4.5 inches long to 6.5 inches long depending on the height of the frame. ... view full answer...
Hey Jeff,
To be able to haul a spare tire and still be able to fold up your Blue Ox tow bar into the stowed position you'll need the Roadmaster Spare Tire Mount # RM-195125. The spare tire carrier has a release pin to pivot the tire down for easier loading/unloading that you'll need to utilize in order to be able to fold your tow bar up into the stowed position. The tire mount can hold all wheels with a lug nut circle up to 7". Use of this spare tire carrier reduces the tongue weight... view full answer...
The Curt High-Low Adapter # C59KR is designed for flat towing only. Curt doesn't even test it for accessories to give it a tongue weight rating. The Roadmaster # RM-048-4 is the most comparable with a distance of 9-5/8" from hitch pin to hitch pin hole and a 4" drop/rise. This has a 400 lb tongue weight capacity. However, use of an adapter is going to cut the capacity of your hitch by 50% so you won't be able to use the full capacity of the cargo carrier.
The 24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier #... view full answer...
Hey Pam, so the highest rated 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch hitch adapters we offer have a 350 lb tongue weight capacity like with the part # e43YR for a straight adapter or the part # e93YR for one with a rise built into the shank. You have to keep in mind that when you use an adapter like this you cut the weight capacity of the trailer hitch by 50 percent and since most 1-1/4 inch hitches have a 200 lb (sometimes 350 lb) capacity you would be looking at having around a 100 lb capacity for a rack... view full answer...
The Apogee Optimax Folding Utility Trailer will use a bias ply tire. Specifically it is a 5.30-12 tire with a load range C.
For a spare tire I recommend the Kenda 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel # AM30850. You can mount this to the front of the trailer with the CE Smith Spare Tire Carrier for Trailers # CE22007Z-11050-2. There the tire will not interfere with the folding ability of the Apogee trailer. view full answer...
Yes it can change, which is why it's required for you to load your trailer and then get it weighed. You can either take this to a scale to get weighed or use the etrailer Tongue Weight Scale for Campers and Utility Trailers # e99044 and o it yourself. view full answer...
Yes it is to be counted when calculating your total tongue weight. So if you were using the Hitch-It 2 Bike Rack for Straight Tongue Trailers # LC731138 maxed out with two bikes weighing 80-lbs total, you'd need to then add 80-lbs to your total tongue weight. view full answer...
No, it will not sorry. The Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler item # DM16080-95 won't fit a trailer tongue that is wider than 3".
Additionally, I do not have a coupler like this that will fit a channel wider then 3". You may be able to use a channel bracket like item # BDAC3000300, weld it to the end of the tongue, and then use the coupler item # BDA256C0317. view full answer...
Sure! You can email me that picture directly. I am also going to need some dimensions of your boat trailer's tongue.
The Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler item # 12564, you were looking at, fits a 3" wide channel. view full answer...
