  • Can a Trailer hitch Mount Cargo Carrier be Used to Hold a 185 Pound Generator
  • A trailer hitch mount cargo carrier would be a good choice to carry your 185 pound generator. You will need one that fits the trailer hitch on the vehicle and that has the size and capacity to hold the generator. The Curt carrier , # C18152, is designed to fit 2 inch trailer hitch receivers. It has a capacity of 500 pounds so it can easily handle the generator. The usable space is 23-7/8 inches by 60-1/6 inches so you will want to compare that to the dimensions of the generator. To secure...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Compatibility For a 1997 Ford Econoline E-250 Van
  • For your 1997 Ford Econoline E-250 van I recommend the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41906 as it is custom fit for your van. The receiver 37069 was discontinued does not list your van as a confirmed fit. You will need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118344 to give your van a 4-way flat trailer connector. If you are towing larger trailers that require a 7-way the Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7 will connect to the 4-way and give you the wiring required to install...

  • Phoenix Faucets Hybrid RV Kitchen Faucet Compatiblity With A 2004 Pleasure-Way Excel TD Motorhome
  • I typically just use a razor knife, like # PT92ZR, to cut out small chunks of caulk at a time until I can get the line free. Just be careful that you don't cut into the line if it's pex or some other soft tubing. The Phoenix Faucets Hybrid RV Kitchen Faucet # PF231321 uses a 1/2" male pipe thread water supply line size, so you can just measure yours to confirm. Typically it will be the same size but you never know if someone else made modifications before you purchased the motorhome.

  • Towing Mirrors for 2001 Ford E-350 Super Duty Van
  • The K-Source Custom Extendable Towing Mirrors # KS61067-68F you referenced are a confirmed fit for the 2000 to 2005 Ford Excursion and for 1999 to 2007 Ford pickups and F-series cab-and-chassis models. These replace the factory mirrors on those vehicles, but they are not a fit for the E-series vans.

  • Can The Arms Of The Hollywood Racks SR2 Bike Rack Be Turned To Haul Bikes Vertically
  • The design of the Hollywood Racks SR2 2-Bike Carrier - Spare Tire Mount # HRSR2 doesn't allow for you to haul your bikes vertically. The straps that hold the frame of the bike aren't going to clamp tight enough for the bikes to stay in position and they will most likely slide down and make contact with the ground as you drive. To haul your bikes vertically you would instead need a vertical hanging rack like the Yakima HangOver Bike Rack for 4 Mountain Bikes - 2" Hitches - Tilting # Y02484....

  • Trailer Connector Required to Use Curt Echo Brake Controller C51180
  • The Curt Echo Brake Controller # C51180 does need an RV-style 7-way blade-type connector like # PK11893 in order to function. If your camper trailer has a 6-way socket on the rear now you can replace this easily with a 7-way using part # PK12-707E which has screw terminals for easy connection. Although there are wiring adapters to convert a 6-way to a 7-way, such as # 337TC1067P and # 47435, these add an additional connection where is never good in terms of reliability. The Curt Echo...

  • Will SuperSprings # SSA13 Fit 1990 Ford Econoline E-350 RV Conversion Van
  • We do have rear suspension enhancement kits that do fit your 1990 E-350 cab-and-chassis and these can be seen on the link provided at right. The SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizer and Sway-Control Kit # SSA13 that you referenced does not fit your 1990 Ford E350 Econoline conversion van, although it fits many years of Ford and GM pickups and some GM vans. You do have options for both air bag kits and rubber jounce spring kits. These kits have varied applications, some specifically...

  • Will Reese Weight Distribution System Clear Rear Bumper Of 1999 Ford E-350 Van
  • I went to the warehouse and measured the distance between the holes on the Strait-Line Weight Distribution System, part # RP66084. I have attached a photo of the shank with the head attached that has the dimensions noted. The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball mount at 14 inches will clear your bumper by 6 inches. This weight distribution system is designed for tongue weight between 600 and 1,200 lbs and has a gross towing weight capacity of 12,000...

  • When installing the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Cross Tube # 41990 on your 2006 Ford E-350 with the service body it is really just a matter of determining what will fit and if both do which one will fit better. I have attached photos with dimensions for both the 7" # 4907 and 16" # 4916 weld-on brackets that you can check out. You can use these to compare them with your vehicle and determine which brackets are better for your application.

  • Will the Rear Doors Open on a 2003 Ford E250 Using the Thule T2 Pro XTR Platform Bike Carrier
  • We have not had a chance to install the Thule T2 Platform-Style 2 Bike Rack, # TH69TX, on a 2003 Ford E250 so I cannot say for sure if it will allow your rear doors to open all the way. We have tested the Swagman XTC4, # S64665 on a 2012 Ford E-350. I have attached a video for you to check out that may help you understand the available clearance. You will most likely will not have access to the rear of your vehicle when the bike rack is loaded with bikes, but you may have clearance when...

  • How to Install a 7-Way Trailer Connector and Brake Controller on a 2000 Ford E-250
  • In order to install a 7-way trailer connector on your 2000 Ford E-250 you are first going to need a 4-way wiring harness and for this I recommend using the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118344. This is a custom fit, plug and play harness that will not require any cutting or splicing of wires. Once the 4-way is installed you will then need a 4 to 7-way adapter like the Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole part # 37185. You can then transfer the Tekonsha...

  • Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller to use the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller
  • There is a difference between the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7 and the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit for Trailer Brake Controller Installation # ETBC7L. The # ETBC7L has a slightly different wiring set-up (this will not have the wire that runs to the brake controller itself) which makes it the correct kit for a wireless brake controller. Since you are going to use the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller # 90885 you will need to use the Universal Installation...

  • High Capacity Hitch and Weight Distribution System Recommended for 2008 Ford Van
  • There is not an available Class V hitch with a 2-1/2 inch receiver available for the 2008 Ford Van. The RP54977 would indeed be compatible with the Reese # RP66075 W/D system, but the system is only compatible with a 2-1/2 inch receiver. The Draw-Tite Class IV hitch, part # 41906 has a 10,000 lb towing/1,000 lb TW capacity or 12,000 lb GTW/1,200 lb TW capacity when used with a weight distribution system. Keep in mind that this is the capacity of the hitch, the towing capacity of your...

  • We do have some Westin bumpers that will fit a 2003 Ford E-350 but I'm not sure how well they will fit with the utility truck configuration (see attached photo of inside of bumper. Also they do have a different design than the one you have in your picture. The Fey Diamondstep bumper comes in 3 different colors: Silver Powder Coated Steel # 20105 Black Powder Coated Steel # 20107 Chrome Plated Steel # 21105 Please note that these do fall under the Prop 65 warning for California residents.
