Expert Answers about Camping Lights


  • Availability of Trailer Light Lens For 2004 Coleman Valor Camping Trailer
  • To order a replacement lens for the running lights on your 2004 Coleman Trailer you will want to order by part number on your lights or by the size of the light you will need. The SAE number on the lens stands for the Society of Automotive Engineers. The SAE part number is not the part number of the light, it is just a number on the lens that means that lens has passed SAE guidelines. These part numbers are usually on the lenses of most all trailer lights. You will want to get a brand...

  • Replacement Clearance Lights for a 1977 Rancho El Rae Camping Trailer
  • Unfortunately even with the mounting dimension it will be difficult for me to recommend a replacement lense cover for a trailer that old without knowing the brand and model number of the lights you have installed. Therefore, I recommend replacing the lights on your trailer with a set of new LED lights that way you will not have to worry about them for some time. For the circular lights on your trailer I recommend using the LED Trailer Clearance/Side Marker Light part # MCL57RB for red...

  • Replacement LED Bulb for Bargman 30-80-005 Porch Light
  • Yes, you can use the 1141/1156 LED Bulb part # DG526231VP in your Bargman 30-80-005 Porch Light. The light housing is what is going to determine whether or not the fixture is approved for exterior use and since it's a porch light, I would assume so. LED bulbs actually work better in the cold when compared to incandescent so you should not have any issues whatsoever.

  • Trailer Suspension Upgrade For a Jayco Swift 145R Single Axle Camping Trailer
  • The Timbren Trailer Suspension Enhancement System, part # TTRA1702 is designed for light duty trailers. This system has a weight capacity of 1,000 lbs. You do not want to exceed the trailers weight carrying capacity. Also, this system is for trailers with a suspension system that is in good working order. If this system meets the weight requirements for your Jayco trailer, then it will fit your trailer if there is room on the frame, above the axle, to drill holes and install the rubber...

  • What's a Good Light for Above my RV Shower Stall?
  • Yes the Optronics LED RV Interior Double Dome Light with Switch part # RVILL34 would be a great light to have above your shower stall. I like the really bright and clear light that this on produces. Since it is LED you won't have to worry about changing any bulbs and the LEDs tend to last much longer that he standard incandescent and don't draw as much power. This would be a solid choice. I linked a video of Hayden showing the install process and how it works below. Happy Camping!

  • Recommended Low-Profile RV Roof Vent For A Trailer
  • The MaxxFan Mini Plus Manual RV Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan # MA00-03851 or # MA00-03801 for white is going to sit the lowest to your trailer's roof at 4-1/8" in height when installed. These vents come with a Rain Shield cover which will allow you to use them no matter the weather and also while driving, unlike other models. The LED light ring gives you a convenient night light or accent light as well. I've attached a video below where I'll walk you through the installation process of these vents.

  • Recommended Lights For Grilling After Dark
  • While that would be a pretty handy light design, we unfortunately don't currently carry anything that matches what you described. That being said, we do offer a work light # PT67RR that's magnetic, has hanging hooks, and retractable hooks to grip onto other things. We also carry headlamps like the PT Power LED Headlamp # PTW2660 to help you see while you grill. And if that's not your style then you can always go with a good ole trusty flashlight like the # AT97VR.

  • What Circuit Activates The Pre-Wired Furrion Backup Camera In Keystone Montana
  • Thank you for the positive feedback David. The Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Cameras like part # FOS05TASF are activated by the running light circuit so you would need to have your running lights on to activate the camera. However, I have heard that some pre-wired systems have the backup camera wired to a constant power source so they could monitor the outside while they were camping. This was not on a Montana though from my experience. If the newer Montana's are wired for constant...

  • How to Tow a Trailer with 7-Way Connector on a Vehicle with 6-Way Trailer Connector
  • You are correct, the only difference between a 7-way trailer connector and 6-way trailer connector is that the 7-way trailer connector will have a circuit for the reverse lights whereas the 6-way trailer connector will not. Therefore, yes the trailer brakes will still work along with all of the other lighting functions except for the reverse lights. If the 6-way is on the vehicle and the 7-way is on the trailer then the adapter you have should look something like part # 47435.

  • Connecting My Furrion Camera To My 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Z71
  • I spoke with a representative from Furrion and they indicated this issue occurs with newer Chevrolet and GMC trucks. They have a fix for this issue, 7-Way Vehicle Power Adapter w/ Power Switch for Furrion RV Observation Camera, part # FR87PR. The Trailer Connector Adapter - Vehicle End - 7-Pole Round to 7-Way Blade, part # HM47425, will not work. This adapter does not have the male and female ends of the 7-way blade, so it will not connect to your vehicle's 7-way connector.

  • Can Camco # CAM59213 Adapter Connect My Grill to Propane Tree?
  • Yes, you can use a Camco # CAM59213 adapter to connect any item with a TYPE-1 connector like your grill if your grill hose is long enough to reach. I have attached a photo illustrating this. If your hose is not long enough you will need to add a MB Sturgis # 100914-120-MBS ten foot propane hose extension. Propane trees are a distribution system designed to be attached to standard 20 or 30 pound tanks. The system will feature one TYPE-1 connector at the bottom to attach to your portable...

  • Replacement Control Board for the Lippert Components part # 500089
  • The Replacement Lippert Components Power Gear Manual Leveling Control Kit part # LC359259 is the replacement control panel for your older 500089 control board on your 1999 National. You are correct that the connectors are not the same and it will require some modifications to the wiring to make it work. Happy Camping!

  • Info on Lithium RV Battery for Off Grid Camper
  • Lithium batteries last considerably longer than other options and they also charge faster so they will do a great job for off grid camping. Now picking what size you need comes down to the amperage draw of your setup which you'll have to determine based on what you will have in the RV. We have as high as 300 amp hour Lithium batteries like with the part # PS74FR or down as low as 75 amp hour batteries like # PS34FR. I attached a link to this page that has all of the batteries we carry....

  • While we have not used the Yakima EXO SwingBase # Y34VR on your 2022 Kia Carnival we have used it on a 2020 Honda Odyssey(see video below), so I see no reason you will not be able to use this on your Kia.

Here is a list of the accessories you can add to the EXO SwingBase. TopShelf for Yakima...

This light spacing matters so that the bag does not block other motorists' view of your brake and turn lights.

  • Does Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch part # 336VS511 Reduce Weight Capacity
  • When using an articulating hitch like the Lock N Roll part # 336VS511 there is no reduction in weight capacity on the hitch or the trailer when compared to a ball mount. If your truck has a 5,000 lb weight capacity and the trailer you are getting weighs 6,600 lbs the only solution is a different truck with a higher towing capacity.
