Expert Answers about Camping Lights


  • Mounting Dimensions for Optronics Low Profile RV Combination Tail Light
  • The Optroncis Low Profile RV Combination Tail Light # RVSTL60 does not have a separate mounting bracket. There are screw holes in the back of the light housing so the light can be mounted directed to the RV. The mounting hole measurements are 7-3/8 inches long x 1-7/8 inches wide. If you do not want to go with a smaller light on your trailer, you could use a tail light like the Bargman Camping Travel Trailer Stop, Turn, and Tail Light # 30-92-003 and # 30-92-001. This light measures 8-1/2...

  • Can the 2014 Kia Soul + Tow a 1,200 Pound Trailer
  • I checked the vehicle owner's manual and all it says is that it is not recommended to tow a trailer with the 2014 Kia Soul (any model). But it also does not say you can't and there are numerous references to towing throughout the manual. So my interpretation is that you could tow a trailer but how heavy is unclear. I would say that at 1,200 pounds that is probably the max you would want to tow. Also, at 75 pounds that tongue weight is too light and that will make the trailer susceptible...

  • Is Towing Recommended With My Ford C-Max Hybrid?
  • The highest weight rated trailer hitch we have to fit the 2014 Ford C-Max is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12092. The trailer hitch has a maximum gross trailer weight up to 3,500 lbs and maximum tongue weight up to 350 lbs, but keep in mind that this doesn't reflect the capacities of your C-Max. My recommendation is to follow the owner's manual of your 2014 Ford C-Max. But if you decide to tow, this hitch is your best option. I have help articles attached on tips for towing or...

  • Does the Solera RV Slide-Out Awning Have a Weight Capacity
  • I reached out to the manufacturer and they confirmed that the Solera RV Slide-Out Awning # LCV000168105 does not have an actual capacity and that in all likelihood any significant snow is going to cause the topper to sag down onto the slide-out. This could potentially allow moisture to pool on top of the slide-out and allow moisture inside of the camper. These slide-out awnings are designed to stand up to the low temperatures and moisture, but leaving heavy snow on the fabric for long periods...

  • Can the Tongue Weight of a Vehicle Be Increased
  • I may have a solution for you to haul your TVs, but there is no way for the tongue weight of a vehicle to be increased. To start, the tongue weight refers to the amount of weight that can be added to the frame of the vehicle safely, so there isn't a way to add to that capacity. With that said, the Curt # C11487 would be a great hitch for your 2006 Scion xB because of the durable powder coating that Curt hitches come with. Once you've got the hitch, you would need to get a small utility...

  • Tow Capacity of 4x4 2007 Chevy Silverado Classic with 5.3L and Transmission Cooler Recommendation
  • You will want to first consult your vehicle owners manual but based on my research your truck has a standard towing capacity of 7,500 pounds and max towing capacity of 10,500 pounds. The max is usually either with the truck properly equipped or when using weight distribution. Your owners manual should be able to shed some light on this. Even with the truck properly equipped, and/or using weight distribution you will still be near the maximum of the truck. If a more capable truck is available...
