Expert Answers about Chevrolet Hitch Aligners

• Recommended Hitch Alignment and Backup Camera Systems
• I am familiar with the stick-on mirror product Hitch-N-Sight which is applied to the inside surface of a pickup's rear window but to my knowledge these are no longer available new. You can surely find a used one online if you want to go that route. But we can help you with another type of product for hitch alignment. Hopkins offers their Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner System # HM50002 that features a 3.5-inch color monitor that shows you your hitch and that generates audible...

• Is etrailer e99039-9 Hitch and Coupler Lockset Available for a Class V 2-1/2 Inch Hitch
• Unfortunately, we don't offer a kit like the # e99039-9 for a 2-1/2 inch class V receiver. This being said, you can get the same coupler lock, part # e98884, coupler lock # e98881 for a 2-1/2 inch hitch and the # e98900 storage bag separately. For the locks, just choose the 'keyed alike option' from the drop down menu.. We don't offer the alignment collar in a class V compatible version yet.

• Suspension Lift Systems For a 2018 Forest River Artic Wolf 265DBH8 5TH Wheel Camper
• First I recommend checking the clearance between your 5th wheel underbelly and the bed sides/tailgate on your 2019 Ford F-250 XLT 4X4. You want to see 5-6" between the 5th wheel overhang and your bedsides, if you have more than that you may be able to lower your 5th wheel hitch or pin box to help bring the rear of your 2018 Forest River Artic Wolf 265DBH8. For raising your suspension we have the Correct Track Trailer Alignment and Lift Kit # RR23QX that is capable of raising the suspension...

• Are there Different Wedges for Sidewinders and Can they Be Removed
• There are custom wedges for Sidewinders for certain 5th wheel hitches so if you can tell me the model hitch you have I can see which, if any, wedges would fit. I have also linked the custom wedges. The wedge can be removed but unless you carry around a torque wrench I would not recommend frequently removing and reinstalling of the wedge. With any of the wedges you do basically have to be straight and level when hooking up.

• Both of the 2-inch Class III hitches we offer for your 2016 Honda Pilot, Curt # C13146 and etrailer # e98840, mount so that their receiver tubes are located just below the rear bumper cover as shown in the two installation videos I linked for you.

I have also linked helpful articles with tips for easier hitch installation.

• Can VueSmart RV And Trailer Backup Camera Be Used With A Monitor Or Only A SmartPhone?
• I have a solution for you, however, the VueSMART RV and Trailer Backup Camera # HM34FR can not use a dash-mounted monitor but instead uses a smartphone as a monitor. For a wireless backup camera system with a monitor, I recommend Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner System # HM50002. This system is a wired install that plugs inline of the factory 7-way on your fathers 2006 Nissan Titan. I prefer hardwired installs due to no possibility of communication issues between the...

• Can A Larger Monitor Be Used With Hopkins Smart Hitch System?
• The Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner System # HM50002 does not have a larger monitor available than the 3.5 inch. They only offer a smaller one with 2.5 inch screen in # HM60195VA. Unfortunately the monitors from other manufacturers are not compatible with this system.

You can...

• Can the T-Connector Harness for Hopkins Backup Camera # HM50002 Be Purchased Separately
• According to my contact at Hopkins Manufacturing the U.S. Car T-Connector harness included with their Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner System # HM50002 is not offered as a replacement part separate from the entire camera system.

One of these may work in your application since both will allow you to access...

• I have a solution for you, but the Rear View Safety Backup Camera # RVS-917619P is a universal fit item is not designed to be a replacement for your existing 3rd brake light, so it may not be the best solution.

• Available Multi-Camera Hitch Aligner and Observation Camera Systems

This complete setup comes with a 7-inch color LED monitor, 2 moisture-resistant and shock-resistant color cameras...

• Are Replacement Parts Available for a Roadmaster Explorer Tow Bar
• I may have a solution for you, but the Roadmaster Explorer tow bar has been discontinued for some time, so there are no longer parts available for it and it might be time to replace it with a newer model. The Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs # RM-520 is also compatible with the Roadmaster Classic style base plates, as the Explorer was, and would be a good choice for a cost effective replacement. The Falcon 2 has a large hookup radius that makes connecting...

• Dirt Bike Carrier With Car Tow Dolly on Class C Motorhome
• Because the front of vehicle will be slightly raised while situated on the tow dolly, you would not want to a hitch at the rear of the towed vehicle, this downward angle would probably cause drag issues. One option and the most straight forward, would be to go with an adapter such as # D210. This has a lower hitch for the tow dolly and then a higher opening for accessories. You will need to verify weight ratings and fitment of dirt bike and current components such as tow dolly against...

• Is There an Aftermarket GM Prep Package Available for a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
• The under bed puck systems are actually going to attach to the frame so the key thing here is the 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 frame. I have a couple options for you depending on what you have going on in your truck bed already. If you do not already have holes in your bed for the prep system but instead just have the indentions where the holes would go then I recommend the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP30868. This is not going...
