  • Axle Ground Clearance Needed For TrailerLegs Tire Saver Stands
  • The TrailerLegs Tire Saver Stands - Tandem Axle # 326-TRLLG-4 have overall dimensions of 15" long x 8" wide x 19" tall. In order for the rubber to grip and allow lift your axles will need to be a minimum of 11-1/2 inches off the ground. The manufacturer recommends using some wheel blocks like # A10-0918 to increase the height of your axle from the ground if needed to assist in making this system work ideally if your axle height is less than the 11-1/2 inches.

  • Bike Rack Carrier for Coleman Travel Trailer
  • I have never had a RV manufacturer tell me a weight rating for their bumper. They usually say its enough for the spare tire or a BBQ grill that they have mounted on to it. I always recommend the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier for A-Frame Trailers # CC-275. It will put your bikes where they are safer in front of the trailer. The rear is subject to a lot of hash bouncing and they become out of sight out of mind so you kind of forget they are back there. I...

  • Best ST225/75R15 Trailer Tires for Higher Speed Driving
  • The load and speed ratings of the ST225/75R15 trailer tires your 2017 Dutchman Aspen travel trailer are maximum capacities for the tires themselves. The 75-mph maximum speed of an L-rated tire does not indicate a recommendation to tow a trailer at that speed. Safe towing speeds naturally vary based on the nature of the road (dead-straight flat interstate versus winding two-lane back roads), the weather conditions and the total weight of the truck and trailer as a combined system. Also,...

  • How Can I Tell What Inner Bearings I Need for My Travel Trailer?
  • Without knowing your particular setup on your Dutchmen Travel Trailer, the best way to determine your inner bearings is to pull the remove the hubs and find the number on the bearing itself. You can also measure the spindles where the bearing sits. In many cases, there can also be an axle tag on your axle beam that tells you information about the spindles you have. I went ahead and attached a chart that shows the measurements you need to help determine your bearings. The best way to get...

  • Does the Lippert Replacement Gearbox for Venture Landing Gear Have a Capacity
  • A gearbox like the Lippert # LC276602 won't have a weight capacity since it's not a weight bearing part; this unit is typically used with landing gear that have capacities of up to 10,000-lbs. Landing gear systems are designed to support the pin weight of your trailer, so I don't see a situation where you'd have more than even 5,000-lbs on them. As long as you've got Venture landing gear and motors on your Dutchman 5th wheel then this gearbox will work for you.

  • Total Width of Solera XL 30" Projection Window Awning with 42" Wide Fabric
  • We do have the Solera XL 30" Projection Window Awning in solid black as part # LC49FR on our site. The 42" width is just the fabric and when I reached out to my contact at Lippert they said that the mounting hardware should add about 1-1/2" to either side of the awning so you're looking at a total width of about 45". Please note that the support arms are sold separately as part # LCV000334764 so you'll want to pick those up while you're at it if you don't already have them.

  • Replacement RV Propane Detector Trim Plate Dimensions
  • Most of the old Atwood propane or carbon monoxide detectors have been discontinued and sold out so options are pretty limited. Since I don't know the model of your detector or size of your cutout hole I can't say for certain that the RV Propane Gas Detector # RS64FR will cover the existing hole, but I can say that it comes with two trim pieces with the following dimensions to help cover the old cutout: The long plate measures 7-1/4" wide, 3-3/8" tall and hole to hole measurements of 6"...

  • How to Lift a Trailer w/ Axles Below the Leaf Springs
  • Since your axles are already below your leaf springs the only option is the Correct Track Trailer Alignment and Lift Kit item # RR23QX. This kit mounts to your spring hangers and moves the attachment point down 1-1/4" or 2-1/4". This adds extra brackets to the hangers but again it is the only aftermarket option. Heavier springs won't do anything to help your ride height unless your springs are old and worn out which still wouldn't be anywhere close to 1-1/2" - 2". Lift blocks or at least...

  • Recommended Radial Special Trailer Tires for 2015 Dutchmen Voltage Tandem-Axle Trailer
  • There are three things that typically cause heat-related tire failure: incorrect inflation, excessive speed and overloading the tire beyond its weight rating. Since you maintain your Westlake ST235/80R16 trailer tires at their full recommended 80-psi pressure (the right thing to do!) and operate them below their maximum rated speed that leaves the weight load on the tire as the potential smoking gun. Apart from these three causes the most likely reason for such a massive failure is a bit...
