Expert Answers about Ford F-350, 450, and 550 Cab and Chassis
- Hitch Mounting Plate Compatible with Convert-A-Ball Pintle Hook Combo
- The Convert-A-Ball Pintle Hook Combo with 3 Stainless Steel Balls # PH1 is not a fit for the Curt mounting plate # C48239. The holes will not align as the center will be off by 1/16 inch with the 3-5/16 inch width center on center.
Instead I recommend the B&W Pintle Hook Mounting Plate for 2-1/2" Hitches - 16,000 lbs # BWPMHD14202, the Buyers Products 3 Position Pintle Hook Mount for 2-1/2" Receiver - 20K # 337PM25812, or the Reese Titan Forged Pintle Hook Mounting Plate for 2-1/2" Trailer...

- Since you don't have a tow harness easily available you'll need to first install a 4-pole connector like # 18002. The brown wire will tie into your E-450's running light circuit, yellow will tie into the left turn, green will tie into the right turn, and white will need to be mounted to an unpainted surface on the vehicle's frame for a proper ground.
From there you'll be able to install the a 7-Way connector like # 37185. If you want to run the 12 volt power wire to the 7-Way connector...

- For your 2002 Ford E450 Shuttle Van I recommend the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver - Weld On - Class V - 2" # 41990-16. This trailer hitch receiver has a 16" drop and is rated for 16000lbs GTW and 1600lbs TW. This universal-fit trailer hitch will need to be welded to the frame of your vehicle.
If you're in need of a trailer connector then I recommend the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat - 10 Gauge Wires # ETBC7....
view full answer... - Recommended Gooseneck And 5th Wheel Hitch For A 2005 Ford F-450 Cab And Chassis
- There unfortunately isn't a custom-fit kit confirmed to fit a 2005 Ford F-450 cab/chassis so you would have to have a fabricator weld on the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Flatbed Trucks # BWGNRK1500 in order to get a gooseneck hitch that can also accommodate a 5th wheel hitch. For the hitch you would need the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3500-5W, due to B&W's square tube design.

- Bumpers for most RV's will typically be 4" x 4", but there unfortunately isn't a guide to tell us what size bumper your 2004 Four Winds 5000 Class C motorhome. The 24x64 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper # e83YR you were looking at is able to fit both 4" x 4" and 4-1/2" x 4" RV bumpers. You'll want to measure the bumper on your motorhome to confirm fitment. If you find it measures something else then let me know and I'll look for a compatible solution.
view full answer... - How Much Of An Extension Does the Swing Out Extension Brackets for HappiJac Truck Camper Jacks Give
- The Swing Out Extension Brackets part # LC182496 which are for HappiJac Truck Camper Jacks will add approximately 3-1/2" - 4-1/2" of clearance to the existing jacks per side. This can then be used to determine compatibility. I would unfortunately not have any other brackets that offer more of an extension if that were needed.
view full answer... - No Power to Aftermarket Brake Controller on Ford
- Thank you for your purchase from etrailer of the brake controller and harness like # # 3035-P. The only reason I can think of why it wouldn't be getting power is if the wires were not connected properly. This would be if you had a factory 4-way and had to install 7-Way # 37185.
I have added a link below to a help article which details exactly how the install should go, where the wires are, and which need to be connected.
view full answer... - Will the SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizer Work On 07 F-350 With Broken or Missing Overload
- The SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizer and Sway Control Kit part # SSA22 requires a top factory overload spring in order to work. If the spring is missing or broken then it cannot be used. Instead, the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-114-47 which is a fit for a 2007 Ford F-350 would be a better option.
view full answer... - Can Aftermarket Brake Controller be Installed on 2012 Ford F-450 With Integrated Brake Controller?
- Yes, you can install an aftermarket brake controller on your friend's 2012 F-450 cab and chassis that will simply plug in, although you are going to get an error code and to remove it you will need to go to a local Ford dealer and have it turned off.
As for the brake controller itself, I strongly recommend the Prodigy P3 # 90195 along with Adapter # 3034-P. The Prodigy P3 is the most popular model we carry due to its effectiveness and ease of use. It will activate your trailer's brakes...
view full answer... - Can High-Low Adapter be Used for Motorcycle Carrier
- Although you technically can use the Roadmaster High-Low Adapter # RM-072-2 to mount an accessory like a motorcycle carrier, the use of ANY adapter will reduce the tongue weight of the hitch on your vehicle by 50 percent.
So if your hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 500 lbs the use of an adapter such as this would lower the capacity to 250 lbs and your bike and hauler would be too heavy. So essentially, unless you have a hitch with a tongue weight capacity of 800 lbs you would not...

view full answer... - Can a Gooseneck Hitch Be Installed on a 2009 F-450 Cab and Chassis
- The Curt Flat Plate Gooseneck # C65500 is a multi-fit application that can be used on a cab and chassis truck. Typically, the plate would be placed on top of the flat bed over the rear axle.
The Universal Rail Kit, part # C61502 can be used to provide the under bed bracing. Holes would be drilled through the plate, through the bed and into the frame members and the rail kit. At least six 1/2 inch grade 5 bolts need to be used to fasten the plate to the rail kit.

view full answer... - 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...
view full answer... - How To Determine the Correct Awning Roller Tube and Fabric for a Trailer
- In order to confirm the correct replacement awning roller tube and fabric assembly for your trailer you will need to first verify the brand of awning arms you have and then the distance between them center to center. If you have Solera Awning Arms and they measure around 20" apart center to center then the Solera 20' White Fade RV Awning Roller and Fabric part # LCV000211523 will work. If not just let me know what you have.
It does not matter if the awning is power/manual so no worries here.

- The Swagman Chinook Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount, part # S64683, will work with your Class C motorhome. With regard to the three extra pounds, most e-bike manufacturers recommend removing the batteries from their bikes during transport. If you do that, your e-bikes will come in under the maximum weigh limit of this hitch bike rack. If you cannot remove the batteries, you will assume the risk of exceeding the weight capacity of the rack.

- There are two Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement Systems for a 2001 Ford F-350, part # TFR350SDF for standard models or part # TFRTT350F for service models. If you have a cab and chassis I recommend the latter as they will be better suited for this application.
