Expert Answers about Camping Tools


  • Can the Viair BaseCamp Heavy Duty OnBoard Air Compressor Be Used w/ a Roof Nailer?
  • Yes, the Viair BaseCamp item # VA26WR has a 150 psi capability which will give it plenty power to run a roofing nail gun. CFM is a measure of flow when it comes to air compressors and air tools. It’s the measure of how much air the compressor can deliver to the air tool. Most roofing nailers require around 2.2 to 2.5 CFM this compressor has a maximum air flow of 2.62 cfm.

  • Will a Rightline CampRight Truck Bed Tent Fit a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 with 6-1/2 Foot Bed and Toolbox
  • If you look at the instructions I have linked for the Rightline tent, # RL110730, you will see that the toolbox would interfere with the installation of the tent. In order to install the tent you would have to remove the toolbox. Otherwise this tent will fit a 2008 Dodge Ram with a 6-1/2 foot bed.

  • Option for SumoSprings on a 2016 Tundra with Aftermarket Suspension
  • From the weight capacities you listed, I suggest going with the SumoSprings # SSR-610-40. This will give you the needed support while not affecting the ride as much as a higher capacity option. I do have to mention, however, that all the suspension enhancement options we have currently available are designed to be used with stock suspension. It looks like the Falcon system on your 2016 Tundra did not lift the rear end of the vehicle, so as long as you have the space, it should fit without...

  • Can I Put Hydraulic Brakes on a 2,000 lbs Axle?
  • Yes and no. The issue with 2,000 lbs axles like the Dexter Trailer Axle item # T20BTR-7258 is that they don't come with a brake flange item # 4-34. You can add one but this is something you will need to rely on a professional welder to do if you don't have experience. If you would like to give me some dimensions of the axle you're needing and your lug pattern I would be happy to make some recommendations for you. Feel free to email me directly.

  • Will the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Fit a Nucamp T@B S Outback Travel Trailer
  • The Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk part # CC-275 will need to have one of three specific points on the a-frame free in order for it to work. The measurements will need to be taken from the outside edge on each frame rail. As long as you have space at the 12" wide apart, 32" wide apart, or the 52" wide apart positions on the a-frame the bike bunk will work well for you. I have attached a photo to better illustrate the above measurements. I took at a look at your Nucamp T@B S Outback Travel...

  • Truck-to-Trailer Clearance Pullrite 2700 and 2014 Ram 2500
  • Your 16K PullRite 2700 hitch appears to be installed correctly, so that the king pin weight will be centered just slightly forward of the rear axle center, which is where it needs to be to maintain front axle traction. Your hitch does provide for some front-to-back adjustment but you do not want to contradict the installation instructions for this hitch in your particular truck model and bed length. The pin box mounting wings on a 5th wheel trailer usually offer multiple sets of holes...

  • Recommended Fifth Wheel Hitch for a 2017 GMC Sierra 3500 w/ OEM Prep Package and 8 Ft Bed
  • By far the best 5th Wheel Hitches on the market are made by B&W. For your 2017 GMC Sierra 3500 with the factory prep package, you are going to want the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch item # BWRVK3700. B&W's Companion Hitches have 1" thick dual jaws that will provide a 360-degree jaw-to-king-pin contact. This will give you less rattle and a much better connection then hitches with slide-bar jaws. As far as comfort goes this will also lead to less jarring and chucking. A by product of...

  • Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control for Ford F-150
  • Yes, the Equal-i-zer weight distribution hitches do reduce tongue weight by using a spring bar to move some of the tongue weight to your trailer axles, and some to your front truck axle. Probably just what you need to stop your truck from squatting down in the back also. If your trailer dry weight is 8300 pounds then a tongue weight of 10 to 15% would be 830 to 1245 pounds. However nobody I have ever met actually tows a "dry" trailer. You should consider the weight of your trailer when...

  • Can Tow Malone SeaWings Be Mounted Side-By-Side To Haul Two Kayaks On A 2018 Toyota 4Runner
  • Yes, the Malone SeaWing Kayak Carrier and Load Assist w/ Tie-Downs - Rear Loading - Clamp On # MPG113MD can be placed side by side. We actually have a picture of this on the product page that I've also attached below. The carriers are 27-1/4" in width so I recommend going with the 60" Yakima Crossbars # Y00426 and # Y33TR to ensure a comfortable fit for both kayaks. That being said, due to the design of your 12' Hobie Passport kayaks I do not recommend using the # MPG113MD. Since the cradles...

  • Recommended Air Bags and Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2023 GMC Sierra 2500 w/ Prep Package
  • Yes, we do have a set of air bags for your 2023 GMC Sierra 2500 with the factory towing prep package. They are the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs item # AL57341. These air bags have a 5,000 lbs capacity to keep the rear end of your Silverado level. They are also compatible with all in bed hitches like the factory one your GMC truck came with. I have linked a picture below that shows these air bags installed on a Sierra 2500. I recommend adding the Air Lift Load Controller...

  • B&W Companion Slider to Replace an Anderson Hitch in a 2017 Ford F-350 Short Bed
  • Sorry to hear about your broken window. It looks like last year you bought the Reese Elite Under-Bed Rail Kit from us so welcome back. The Reese Elite has the same pattern as the Ford OEM puck package so I have a great sliding hitch for your 2017 Ford F-350 Super Duty. It is the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w Slider item # BWRVK3370. The Companion will drop right down into the pucks of the Reese Elite. It has 1" thick dual jaws that provide a 360-degree jaw-to-king-pin contact....
