Expert Answers about Chevrolet Trailer Tongue Box


  • Will a 20LB Propane Tank Fit Inside The DeeZee Trailer Tongue Tool Box?
  • You will want to consider the larger DeeZee Tongue Box # DZ91717 as the DeeZee Specialty Series Trailer Tongue Tool Box # DZ91716 you found is not large enough to transport a 20lb propane tank upright. With a typical 20lb propane tank being around 12" in diameter and 18" tall this is the same height as the box you found. The larger Box # DZ91717 is 22" tall allowing for a tank to fit inside the box.

  • How Much Weight Can I Tow and Carry In Cargo in My 2016 Honda CR-V
  • The 850 lb maximum load includes the weight of all occupants, cargo, accessories (like the Thule Box) and the tongue weight of the U-haul trailer. First subtract the combined weight of the occupants (including the dogs) from 850 lbs and how much weight you have left over is the amount of weight you can carry in the box, cargo in the vehicle and the tongue weight of the trailer. I have attached an article that helps you determine the tongue weight of the trailer. The 1500 weight is the...

  • Swing Up Jack Needed for a Coleman Trailer with a Battery Box Mounted on the Tongue
  • As long as the tongue on your trailer is a 3 x 3 or 3 x 4 inch tongue, the Fulton F2 Trailer Jack, # F1413040134, that you mentioned should work great. The Pivot point on this jack is adjustable. I produced a short video, see link, showing how to adjust the mounting bracket so you can determine if there is clearance for the battery box on your trailer. At the highest point the center of the swivel is 6-1/2 inches from the top of the jack. This should give you clearance to mount the jack...

  • Can Buyers Products Trailer Tongue Toolbox Mount to Straight Tongue
  • It's possible to do, but there is not a bracket or recommended method of installation for a straight tongue trailer to mount an A-frame tool box like the Buyers Products Trailer Tongue Toolbox # 3371701680. Realistically, due to its shape you're going to have to fabricate some type of base that forms the shape of the toolbox (or something close), and mount it to that base. Otherwise, you'd have to put it inside your trailer, and if the 19" depth of the # 3371701680 is too much you can...

  • A-Frame Trailer Box to Fit Batteries on Tongue of Trailer
  • The DeeZee Specialty Series Trailer Tongue Toolbox # DZ91716 may be what you're looking for. It measures 34 inches long in the back, 16 inches long in front, 14-1/4 inches wide and 18 inches tall. It's a 3.71 cubic foot box that locks and comes with two keys. Since you're going to be storing batteries in it you'll want some sort of ventilation. An idea is to install a vent like # HMAV2-AVT2 into the box. You won't have any issues fitting your batteries inside but you'll need to measure...

  • How Can DeeZee Specialty Series Trailer Tongue Toolbox # DZ91717P be Used with Weight Distribution
  • The DeeZee Specialty Series Trailer Tongue Toolbox # DZ91717P can fit on the tongue of a trailer with weight distribution chain hangers, but most likely bolt on hangers will need to be used for the WD system as the box will sit on the top of the frame. If you have a Reese, Pro Series, or Draw Tite WD system you could use the part # RP58305. These will bolt to the sides of your trailer frame and would leave the top of your trailer free for the # DZ91717P. If you have a Curt WD system you...

  • Utility Trailer Upgrades: Toolbox, LED Taillights, and Spare Tire Holder
  • The Dee Zee Specialty tool box # DZ6535P should work as a tongue tool box for your trailer dimensions. The overall dimensions of this tool box are: 35 inches long by 14 inches wide by 13 inches tall. Please check these measurements with your trailer and make sure that the full square portion of the tool box will not interfere with the turning/backing radius of your trailer. This toolbox has a capacity of 3.6 cubic feet. When you relocate the cargo that you are carrying in the tool boxes...

  • The TorkLift Locking Battery Box part # TLA7708R measures 26-3/4" long x 8-3/16" wide x 13" tall at the base not the lid. The base of the box will fit and install on your 2 foot x 4 foot tongue flat. I have attached a video below and a screen shot of the video showing the dimensions.

  • Vent Solution for Trailer Tongue Box that Holds In Moisture
  • That is really strange and would indicate that your box is holding in condensation and not allowing it to vent out. The part # WHMAV2 would be a great solution to allow it to vent and prevent the moisture as long gas you sealed it up with a sealant like # 0160297 and had it face down.

  • Recommended Trailer Tongue Tool Box to Hold Two Propane Tanks
  • Thanks for the picture! A standard 20 lbs propane tank is just under 18" tall so the DeeZee Specialty Series Trailer Tongue Tool Box item # DZ91717P is not going to work because it is only 17" tall. A standard 20 lbs propane tank is 12.125" in diameter by 17.625" tall. With this in mind I recommend the UWS A-Frame Trailer Toolbox item # UWS01039 which is 21" tall, 49" wide in the back and 24" at the front. This toolbox is made of aluminum and weighs only 37 lbs. The included locks will...

  • Recommended Gooseneck Pin Box to Replace a Lippert Turning Point
  • Yes, the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box item # GY48GR will work with your Reflection 260RD. I looked up the specs on your 5th wheel. It looks like the 1,258 lbs is when you are unloaded. Once you have your trailer loaded up and ready to tow you will be well within the 1,500 lbs- 3,500 lbs range. This Gen-Y pin box has a built-in scale so that you can check and see what your tongue weight is. This is the only gooseneck pin box that is available to replace the...

  • Can a 5th Wheel King Pin Be Converted to a Rear Trailer Hitch Towable Trailer?
  • The job boxes on your 2005 Ram 2500 will either need to be removed or if your trailer is tall enough for a level ride above them a 5th wheel hitch with a higher height setting could be used. I've linked the page to all your options to assist. There is not a conversion available for a 5th wheel trailer or gooseneck trailer to a traditional rear trailer hitch and ball mount as the hitch weight of that size trailer is normally exceeding a rear mounted hitch capacity because the style of...

  • Replacement Gooseneck Pin Box to Replace a Lippert Turning Point
  • The only gooseneck adapter that can replace a Lippert Turning Point pin box is the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box item # GY48GR. As far as tongue weight goes, the loaded pin weight of your Grand Design 260RD needs to be between 1,500 lbs - 3,000 lbs range for this pin box to work properly. It has a built in scale so you can move things forward on your trailer to get the tongue weight up into this range. You will also need the Safety Chain with 2 Hooks for Gen-Y...

  • Mounting Curt C17501 Spring Bar Brackets On A Trailer Tongue With A Battery Box
  • Installing the brackets for the Curt # C17501 weight distribution system with the battery box on the front of your Featherlite 4926 will depend on where and how it is mounted. The brackets for the spring bars will need to be mounted 30 to 31 inches back from the center of your coupler, so if this is where the battery box is, you will need to either see about moving said box, or modify it. However, these brackets really don't take up a whole lot of space and you may not need to do either. With...

  • Determining The Correct Gen-Y Gooseneck To Pin Box For A 2024 Alliance Paradigm 310
  • There unfortunately isn't a guide that lists the bolt pattern for your 2024 Alliance Paradigm 310's pin box so you'll need to look and see if there's any stickers on it that list the bolt pattern or show the RPO #, Serial #, or LCI #. If you don't have this sticker then you'll need to use the attached help article below to measure for the pattern. Next you'll want to get an accurate tongue weight measurement for your trailer. For this, I recommend fully loading your trailer like you were...

  • Can I Use Wiring Junction Box part # 3375601101 On A Boat Trailer
  • The Trailer Wiring Junction Box part # 3375601101 is not designed for a marine application unless you keep the junction box as far away from the the water as possible. If you mount the box on the tongue and it doesn't get backed into the water when launch the boat then you should be okay. There may be boxes out there made for marine applications but we do not carry them at this time.

  • Recommended Gen Y Gooseneck Pin Box Replacement for a 1716 Pin Box
  • Thanks for the picture! I just spoke with my rep at Lippert. Your toy hauler has a 1716 pin box which means you will want the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box item # GY43FR. This pin box has a 21,000 lbs capacity and a 3,500 lbs tongue weight.
