Expert Answers about Ford F-350, 450, and 550 Cab and Chassis


  • Gooseneck Hitches Compatible With a 2012 Ford F-350 Cab and Chassis
  • You will need to use a universal hitch like either the B&W Turnoverball # BWGNRK1500 or Buyers Gooseneck Plate # 3373014981 on your 2012 Ford F-350 cab and chassis. The aftermarket manufacturers do not build a gooseneck kit specific to the cab and chassis as they are typically covered with either a flat bed, service bed or other aftermarket bed which all have different heights off the frame an are made from different materials. The B&W is a great option as it allow for versatility by...

  • Recommended Sway Bar For A 2005 Pleasure-Way Excel on a Ford E-350 Chassis
  • With your 2005 Pleasure-Way Excel being a Class B motorhome, we will only have the rear sway bar available. However, we do have the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSF-106-40 that will help supplement the front suspension if needed and will help with sway and body roll. I did also come up with the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # 1139-178 as a direct fit for your vehicle. This will definitely help minimize side-to-side movement and improve the overall stability of your vehicle. We...

  • Air Helper Spring Kit for 2013 and 2012 Ford F-550 Cab/Chassis Trucks
  • The highest capacity air helper spring kit offered for your 2012 and 2013 Ford F-550 Cab/Chassis trucks would be the Firestone Ride-Rite system, part # F2404 which provides 5600 lb of support. Neither Firestone nor Air Lift offer a higher rated system. The # F2404 rides on the outboard side of the frame member, so in order for it to fit correctly, you'll need at least 9-1/2 inches of clearance between the frame member and the sidewall of the rear tire in order to have the proper clearance.

  • ICC Bumper and Trailer Hitchfor 2006 Ford F-Series Cab and Chassis
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V Commercial Duty - 2-1/2" # C15845 will come down about 8 inches from the frame. It does add some support to help with an underrun in a rear end collision so as long as the drop is enough but it isn't designed for that use. It isn't anywhere near as deep a drop as an ICC bumper and if you want to add that I recommend the Buyers Products Vehicle ICC Bumper - 62" Long x 17-1/2" Tall # 3371809025 which is made for the 34 inch wide chassis...

  • 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Trailer Wiring Harness for 7-Pole and 4-Pole Trailer Connector HM40975-11998
  • The connector that plugs into the back of the 7-Pole and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Sockets w/ Mounting Bracket and Wiring - Vehicle End Item # HM40975-11998 is what is called a US car connector. You can use any 5th wheel/gooseneck wiring harness with the same type of connectors that plugs in line with a 7-Way. I recommend # 50-97-410. It has the 90 degree bend at the back of its 7-Way which is easier to fit inside the walls of the truck bed on your 2000 Ford F-550. I have linked a video...

  • Recommended MaxxAir MaxxFan For An R-Vision Trail-Lite Class B Motorhome
  • It's super common for a powered roof vent to be installed in a Class B motorhome, and since you already have a 14" x 14" hole and power wire nearby the installation should be pretty simple. A vent like the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan # MA00-07500K would be the perfect option for your motorhome since it comes with a rain shield cover, which can be used while driving or during inclement weather, unlike standard RV roof vents. You could still keep the light if you wanted to but would...

  • How to Connect a Jeep with 4-Way Flat Connector and a Winnebago with a 6-Way Round Connector
  • If your Jeep has a 4-Way Round and your Winnebago has a 6-Way Round then you simply need an adapter like the Mighty Cord # A10-6034VP. This comes with loose wires for a ground, 12V Power, and a Brake Controller which you may need for your trailer. Cut off your 4-Way Round and the 4-Way flat on this adapter and then splice the wires together function for function. This will pass along your basic lighting functions so if your trailer is equipped with brakes or need 12V Power then you will...

  • How To Determine The Model Number Of Your Coleman Mach AC System For Replacement
  • The rooftop condenser unit will have a tag on it under the shroud which will give you the model/serial numbers of the system. If you're looking to replace just the rooftop unit and still keep your air distribution box and thermostat then I recommend the swapping it out with an Advent Air unit; Advent Air Replacement RV Air Conditioner for Coleman Setup w/ Start Capacitor - 13,500 Btu - White # ACCOL135.

  • Can 5th Wheel Hitch Rails be Installed on a 2009 Ford F-450 Cab and Chassis with a Flat Bed
  • Fifth wheel rails are not designed to be installed on a flat bed truck but there is a hitch made for this application. It is hitch # RP30054. It is a more expensive option though and it does require a custom installation. Basically a 1/2 inch thick steel plate will have to be welded to the truck frame and the hitch would then bolt through the flat bed to that plate. I have linked some instructions for you. Theoretically you could bolt rails to a steel plate as well but no where is this...
