  • Trailer Spare Tire Carrier Recommendation for a 15 inch Spare with 5 on 5 inch Bolt Pattern
  • Yes, for a spare tire carrier that will accommodate a spare tire with a 5 on 5 inch bolt pattern you have a couple options. You could use a Trailer Spare Tire Carrier # DL22128.

  • Replacing 6-Way on Truck with 7-Way
  • Since wire color codes are NOT universal, we always recommend wiring by function, rather than wire color. If you look at the Trailer Wiring FAQ article I have linked you to, you can see some diagrams showing the proper way to wire a vehicle and trailer side 7-way trailer connector. If you can open up the existing 6-way connector on your trailer, take the housing apart and look at the terminals the wires attach to. In many cases, they will be labeled like what is shown in the FAQ article....

  • Firestone Ride-Rite Air Springs and Compressor for Lifted 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500
  • Firestone does offer spacers to allow installation of air bags in lifted trucks.

  • Can 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 Tow 5th Wheel Trailer
  • Your 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 is capable of towing a fifth wheel trailer. Your trailer's overall towing capacity will be the weight of the trailer it can tow. The trailer's pin weight does not factor into the bed's pay load directly either. Email me back with the bed length of your truck and I'll get you all setup. But in the mean time if you have a long bed truck you'd want a fixed hitch since you don't need a slider for turning clearance. So for that the Reese Hitch Part # RP30047...

  • Availability of Cleaning Products for Travel Trailers
  • I recommend Voom all purpose RV cleaner # RM-9910. This cleaning product can tackle any mess. It can be used on rubber, painted surfaces, aluminum, screens, carpets and upholstery. It can even put the shine back on chrome-plated wheels. Voom is a petroleum-free, biodegradable, concentrated formula safe enough to use full strength and strong enough to work when diluted. For a 32 oz bottle you will want # RM-9911.

  • Recommended Slip-On Tow Mirrors For 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  • I have a solution for you, but the CIPA Custom Towing Mirror - Slip On - Driver Side # CM11551 is not a fit for your 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. I recommend looking into the CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors - Slip On - Driver Side and Passenger Side # CIP38MR which is confirmed to fit your vehicle. This is a really nice setup that simply attaches to your factory mirrors with a tool-free installation. I attached a detailed demonstration video to further explain how these slip-on tow mirrors...

  • Yes there is! For your 2024 Chevy 1500 we recommend the Curt Class 4 Hitch # C59UR. This hitch has a 10,000 lb towing capacity so it will be plenty strong for your camper. There is no class 5 option for your vehicle, so this class 4 hitch from Curt will be your best bet. It will be a fairly straightforward bolt-on install. You will find our install video linked below.

  • Availability of Custom Towing Mirrors for 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500
  • We do have custom towing mirrors for your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. I recommend the Longview Custom Towing Mirrors # LO54FR. These are slip on mirrors that will slide over your factory mirrors. They have a felt pad to keep your factory mirror protected and an aerodynamic shape to prevent vibration and wind noise. The 4-1/2" wide x 5-1/2" tall adjustable mirror face will give you the improved visibility you're looking for while towing.

  • Trailer Camera Compatible with 8 Inch Factory Monitor on 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500
  • I do have a camera option that could work with the factory 8 inch monitor on your 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500, but the Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera # FOS43TASF can only be paired with a Furrion monitor, like the one that's included in this camera system. Take a look at the GHC Custom Third Brake Light Camera # 3460010, which mounts behind the Silverado's third brake light and uses a custom harness to tee into the factory plug behind your radio to allow you to see into your...

  • No-Drill Ladder Rack Recommendation for a 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 with 6-1/2 Foot Bed
  • Yes, we have a variety of ladder racks for your 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 that won't require drilling into your 6-1/2' bed. I recommend checking out the Rapid Switch Systems Pro HD Truck Bed Ladder Rack # RS88FR. This has a weight capacity of 800 lbs and is adjustable to 4 different heights you can use depending on the load you're carrying. One of the really neat things about this rack is you can also remove the uprights and crossbars pretty easily which is nice if the need ever arises.

  • The Curt brand that we carry does not make seat covers. But we do have seat covers for your 2014 Chevy Silverado. I have included 3 links to the right. One is for seat covers for a 1500 series, another for the 2500 series, and a third for the 3500 series. There are many options depending on the seat style that you have so you will want to use the filters on the page in the appropriate link to narrow down the choices accordingly.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Brake Controller that Only Works with Foot Pedal
  • Do the trailer brakes immediately lock up when you hit the brakes? That would mean you have a short between the trailer brake output circuit and the brake/turn signal circuit of your trailer wiring. Another way to test this would be to turn on both blinkers and see if either causes the brakes to pulse in rhythm with the blinker. I also attached a help article on troubleshooting brake controller installs for you to check out as well.
