  • Brake Controller Port Location on 2019 Coachmen Mirada with Ford F-53 Chassis
  • The factory brake controller port for your 2019 Coachmen Mirada that's built on the Ford F-53 should be located on the left hand side of the steering column support, which is near the emergency brake pedal. I have attached an image that gives a clearer view of this. The Plug-In Adapter # 3035-P that you referenced is the correct harness to allow for a plug-and-play install using this port with a Tekonsha brake controller like the Prodigy P2 # 90885 (great choice) that you were looking at.

  • How To Install Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller On 2020 Coachmen Freelander Motorhome
  • The Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller part # RED44FR comes with everything needed for installation on models with factory trailer brake pre-wiring under the dash. I do not believe there is any such wiring on a 2020 Coachmen Freelander Motorhome therefore you'll need some extra wires and circuit breakers. The Wiring Kit for 2, 4, 6, and 8 Brake Electric Trailer Brake Controllers part # 5506 has this but you many need to extend the wires since it's a longer vehicle.

  • How To Install Steps on a 2016 Coachmen Leprechaun 317SA
  • I spoke with Lippert about the Lippert Components Kwikee Step Frame 28 Series Step part # LC3747457 and unfortunately, they do not provide any mounting information as this is done through the trailer manufacturer. They did however state that you should not have too many issues so long as the surface in which the steps attach to is sturdy. Please note that the above part is for the frame only, if you need the motor/control board etc. then you would want to use the Lippert Kwikee 38 Series...

  • Recommended Hitch for a Bike Rack on a 2022 Coachman Cross Trail 20CB Motorhome
  • I have a solution for you but there's no way to convert a class I receiver to a class II and definitely not to a class III. You are in luck though there is a custom fit hitch available for your Coachman Cross Trail Motorhome. It is the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver item # E-100. This hitch bolts directly to your 4" square channel bumper. It has a 2" receiver and boasts a 350 lbs tongue weight capacity. I recommend verifying that your bike rack is rated to be used behind a motorhome...

  • Is Longer Valterra Sewer Hose Carrier Needed
  • No you aren't missing anything; if the 34" to 60" Valterra RV Sewer Hose Carrier # A04-3460 doesn't have the proper length for your RV, then you will need to go with the longer option. There isn't an 8 foot carrier, but there is one that is close, the adjustable 50" to 94" Valterra RV Sewer Hose Carrier # A04-5094. I have added links below to a pair of video reviews for you to check out as well if you'd like to take a look.

  • Will Lippert Ground Control 3.0 LC675817 Loose Zero Point Calibration When Battery Is Disconnected
  • With the battery of of your trailer disconnected for the off-season the Lippert Ground Control 3.0 # LC675817 will loose the zero point calibration so you will need to reconfigure it before taking the trailer on the first trip of the new season. This is also the case if your battery goes dead or gets low the zero point calibration could be lost and need to be reconfigured. I would just add reconfiguring the system to your beginning of season checklist so that you do not forget. I included...

  • Recommended psi for Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs on a 2000 Coachman Catalina Towing a Minivan
  • The Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs from Firestone should always have at least 5 psi in them for a longer lifespan, but besides that it is totally up to the customer and what setting they feel is the best for their setup. You will just need to make sure that you do not overinflate them. We do not have any confirmed fits for the Ride-Rite system on your 2000 Coachman Catalina, but most of the systems that we have for passenger vehicles have a range of 5 psi - 100 psi. If you look in your installation...

  • Is 90 PSI Rating for 4.80-12 Size Tire Too High
  • If the sidewall of your 4.80-12 size tires say 90 psi then that is what you want them to be when the tires are cold (after they have been sitting for a while like overnight). This is the psi rating that the manufacturer has tested and approved to be safe with the weight rating that is listed on the tire. The psi will actually increase some during travel due to heat build up but the manufacturer has already accounted for this. The 90 psi rating is actually normal for that size tire. For...

  • Can this Light Fixture be Shortened
  • The Gustafson RV LED Pendant Light part # 277-000451 has a rod that is threaded on both ends to accommodate the nut that holds the pieces together. Shortening it is possible but not an easy task. You would need to disassemble the fixture. Cut the tube down to you desired length. Then you would have to use a tap and die set to replace the threads back on to the rod which is where the difficulty would come in.

  • Is There a Brake Controller Plug on a 2004 Coachmen Sport Elite Freightliner XC Chassis
  • Thank you for the photo! The plug that you found if the "Daytime Running Lights" module and is unfortunately unrelated to the brake controller wiring. Your 2004 Coachmen Sport Elite motorhome is on a Freightliner XC chassis which has no provisions for a brake controller but we do carry the parts you need to install a brake controller. If you already have a 7-Way installed on your motorhome then you need to route 10 Gauge Wire # 10-1-1 and some Butt Connectors # DW05745-5 from the pin in...

  • How to Reset Hardwired Brake Controller With No Quick Disconnect
  • You certainly can, but you'll need to interrupt the power supply to the brake controller for a minute or two, then reconnect it. The easiest and safest way would be to pull the fuse on that circuit or remove the positive battery cable for a minute or two.

  • Can A TV With No RCA Jacks Be Connected Through A Stereo To Use External Speakers
  • To transfer sound from TV to Stereo speakers it would require RCA ports. The HDMI and USB are for Video. If the photo you included is the back of the TV then you have RCA ports. If that is the back of the stereo and your TV has no RCA ports then it will not work. If you wanted to hook up like an external surround sound system to a TV to get the sound through the speakers it would require the red and white RCA cables. Red is left side and white would be right side and is normally for audio...

  • What Torque Spec Should Be Used For a Karrier 175/80R13 Trailer Tires?
  • There is not really an exact relationship between tire size and lug nut torque specs. The relationship has more to do with the stud size and wheel construction. For example, if you were using this tire with 1/2" lug studs and steel wheels then you will need to torque the lug nuts between 75-85 ft.-lb. I have attached a photo for you as well with more examples.

  • How To Change the Oil in the 3,200-Watt Portable RV Inverter Generator
  • I have attached for you below the oil change procedure for the 3,200-Watt Portable RV Inverter Generator part # 333-0003 which was pulled direclty from the owner's manual. The owner's manual is attached below for you as well. In order to get all of the old oil out, you do indeed need to tilt the generator on it's side. While you are at it, I'd also check the air filter as well and replace if needed using part # 333-330723578 and the spark plug part # 333-330723557.
