Expert Answers about Cruiser RV Hitch Covers


  • Are Friction Pads or Lube Plate Needed for 18K Demco Hijacker Autoslide
  • Hey Tom, thanks for reaching out! You'll want to either use a lube plate or some grease with your 18K Demco Autoslide # DM8550034. Even though the pin box stays captured and stationary in regards to its position to the hitch head, you'll still be coupling and uncoupling which can wear on both the pin box and the hitch head over time. I recommend using the Curt Lube Plate # C16722 for your application because it's easier to mess with than grease and it's big enough to cover the whole Demco...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2024 Chevrolet Trailblazer
  • I would be happy to! To add a hitch to a 2024 Chevrolet Trailblazer, I recommend the Draw-Tite item # DT55GR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Trailblazer with included hardware. I recommended the Draw-Tite Hitch item # DT55GR because of the way it installs. The main crosstube mounts behind your rear bumper cover leaving only the 2" receiver exposed. This not only looks better but helps with ground clearance. If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch For A 2022 Ford F-250 With A Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover
  • Hello David. I can definitely help point you in the right direction. Does your 2022 F250 have the OEM 5th wheel prep package in the bed? Post in the comments below and let me know because that will be a major deciding factor in selecting a hitch. If you do have the OEM prep package, you will have a lot of options for a hitch that will fit in the 18" deep bed with a tri-fold tonneau on top. My recommendation is the B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch for Ford Super Duty Prep Package # BWRVK3300....

  • Does The Demco Recon 5TH Wheel Hitch Need Lube or a Teflon Plate?
  • I recommend using a Lube Plate # 16721 over covering the Demco Recon 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550043 in Grease # L74FR. The lube plate is much cleaner and you will not have to constantly clean off the dirt and apply new grease over time.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2024 Kia Sorento
  • To add a hitch to your 2024 Kia Sorento, I recommend the etrailer item # e28AR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Kia with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 4,000 lbs towing capacity and a 600 lbs maximum tongue weight. I really like the etrailer Hitch item # e28AR because of the way the crosstube is concealed once installed. It mounts behind the rear bumper cover, which leaves only the 2" receiver visible. This not only looks better but...

  • Hey David, so yeah we do have the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36643 which will work with the Hybrid model. This is a class II hitch that has a 350 lb tongue weight capacity, a 3,500 lb capacity, and is custom fit to your Camry so it should bolt right up. If you're looking for a bike rack recommendation, the RockyMounts MonoRail Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # RKY10003 is a great choice that will work great with the hitch mentioned. This bike rack has a 2 bike, 60 lb capacity, and will...

  • E-Bike Rack Recommendation for Flat Towed Vehicle with 1-1/4 inch Hitch
  • Hey Charles, the best option for an e-bike rack that fits a 1-1/4 inch hitch and is rated for use at the rear of a flat towed vehicle is definitely the Yakima OnRamp # Y96FR. It's actually only option that covers everything you need and it comes with a ramp to help make loading and unloading the rack a little easier.

  • Weight Distribution For 6,000 lb Trailer With Short A-Frame
  • So what you'll have to do is use the Chain Hangers # C17005 and bolt them onto your trailer frame. I will also say it's very important you contact the trailer manufacturer to see if the trailer is rated for use with weight distribution because not all aluminum trailers are. Then for a 6,000 lb trailer you would use the Curt MV Weight Distribution # C17051 and instead of using the brackets it comes with you'll use the chain hangers. The only other thing you'll need is the hitch ball, either...

  • 2024 Mazda CX-5 Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendations with Mounting Brackets

  • Recommendation For Carrying Champion Generator Behind a 2000 Coachmen Travel Trailer w/ 2" Receiver
  • With the size of your Champion Generator 200953(23.4" wide, 27.9" long and 21.7" tall I recommend using the 32x48 Reese Solo Cargo Carrier # PS1040100. This has a 47-3/4" long by 31-3/4" wide inner tray and can support up to 400lbs so you could carry additional items with your 90lb generator if needed. Do be sure to verify with Coachmen you do not exceed any capacities on your hitch or trailer with the additional items. We do have the Cover # CH97FR which will protect your generator when...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch and Spare Tire For a 2023 Coleman Lantern 17B
  • While there are more budget friendly weight distribution hitches out there like the Reese # RE94FR you found, I highly recommend getting one with more quality like the Fastway e2 # FA92-00-0800. While both these have the same weight capacities of 400-800lbs of tongue weight and total trailer weight up to 8,000lbs the big difference is in the spring bars themselves. The Reese uses round bars which by bending the bars creates a weak point. And I cannot begin to tell you how many times I've...

  • Recommended Hitch for 2017 Hyundai Tucson Towing Boat Trailer
  • I'm sorry to hear about your trouble and I would be happy to help you get your boat where it needs to go. For a hitch that fits your 2017 Tucson and won't need to be returned I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e54AR you were looking at. This has a bolt-on installation and a matte black finish. The hitch also has a concealed cross tube so only the receiver will be visible at the back of your vehicle, giving it a nice clean look. The 2" receiver makes it a better choice over...

  • Ball Mount Recommendation for Needing 7 inches of Rise
  • Based on what you mentioned it does seem like a rise of about 7 inches or so would be ideal for you. For a fixed ball mount the part # C45338 would be a really great option or for a more universal solution an adjustable ball mount like the part # FA42-00-2600 would cover basically everything.
