The B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3300 referenced in your question is a great choice and is confirmed to fit your 2016 Ford F-350 long bed with the factory rail kit. If you wish to cut portions of the rubber mat on your truck bed to allow for the Companion to install, you can certainly do so. However, keep in mind that you will need to cut a bit more than just the outline of the factory pucks. You will need to make sure that the leg bases are able to sit down low enough on the... view full answer...
All you will need to install the MaxxFan Plus # MA00-04500K vent and fan is a standard 14" x 14" opening and roof that is between 2" and 6-1/2" thick. Since your trailer came with a pair of MaxxFans already it is a very good bet your current vents are installed in an opening that size.
Though it is not possible to know if the mounting holes will line up as I am unsure of the model number of your current MaxxFans, the MaxxFan Plus does come with the needed garnish (instead of using your... view full answer...
The Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger - Dual Input - DC to DC - 12V/24V - 25 Amp # 331-BCDC1225D has a built in battery isolator function to prevent the charger from pulling power from the start battery when the vehicle is off. This will prevent you from draining your starting battery and leaving you stranded in the boondocks.
You are correct in that if this function were not present it would cause issues, but they have accounted for that and built in the isolation to prevent that issue. view full answer...
The 2-Wire Carbon Monoxide Detector # RS34FR can be mounted vertically or horizontally, it does also state that it needs to be 4-18" from the floor and where it won't be obstructed to airflow.
Additionally do not mount within 12" of any opening windows, exterior doors, fans, vents, or areas with a draft. To continue, do not mount on exterior walls, within 24" of any cooking appliances, behind furniture or any areas that would block flow to the alarm, and on a wall controlled by a power... view full answer...

The Go Power Solar Extreme Charging System # 34282185 includes a fixed-mount remote which lets you control and monitor the inverter charger. You do not need an external battery monitor.

The UWS Tool Box # UWS01048 does not have any fasterners or mounting hardware included or recommended for use by the manufacturer, and will typically just sit in place. The box just slides into place, but if you wanted you could source your own mounting hardware locally; this would require some drilling into the truck bed, and/or box, but it could be done. Your best bet might just be to add some L shaped brackets to the truck bed to keep it from sliding around. view full answer...
Another option than running the LED light to the battery is by running the wiring to the running lights. Although, this can be just as difficult as running it to the battery.
The best route is to run the wiring to the reverse lights. However, if you go this route, you must go without a switch option. The only way to use a switch is to go directly to the battery.
If you need extra wiring for the application, I recommend using the 18-Gauge 2-Wire Bonded Parallel Conductor Wire - per Foot... view full answer...
The Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Remote and Mobile App - Single Path # AL25980 can absolutely be mounted to the frame. The snow and ice won't be an issue for the connections and there is a nice plastic protective housing on the product. There isn't really metal to metal connections so corrosion is not a big issue. You will be using plastic tubing for most of your connections. For the wiring, I recommend using the included heat shrink connectors, and... view full answer...
In order to replace the light bulb part # 67 inside of the Optronics Snap-In Mini License Plate Light part # LP11CB you will need to take a small screwdriver and then pry the light base away from the housing. I have attached a photo for where you will need to stick the screwdriver. For an LED version of this light you can use part # LPL11CB which draws less power and puts out more light. view full answer...
Actually the Hayes brake controller part # HA100400C requires a 2 way check valve only if the vehicle has primary and secondary service lines.
I attached a diagram that shows how the controller wires in as well as how a check valve would get used if needed. view full answer...
I do have something that you can reference but so far (May 2019) we haven't had the opportunity to install an AC unit like the Advent Air # ACM135 on an enclosed trailer like what you have.
We have, however, installed the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent # MA00-06200K on a 2018 Nissan NV 2500 which I have linked the installation video for you to check out. In this video we use some plywood to take up some gaps and to give some more stability to the vent unit. Since both the MaxxFan and the Advent... view full answer...
The Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate # VG-15-4000 (which is confirmed to fit your 2017 Ford F-350) does feature a keyed center release mechanism to protect your cargo, however you will need to use the two included keys for operation. The lock core cannot be keyed alike with your truck's ignition key fob.
I have attached a short video demonstration that you can check out as well. view full answer...
The Curt Custom 5th Wheel Install Kit part # C16443-204 which is a fit for your 2003 Ford F-250/F-350 will use three bolts to secure the base rail to the frame bracket and one bolt to secure the base rail to the bed floor on each side. Therefore, you will only be using three bolts per side that go between the base rail and frame bracket but there are a total of four bolts per side securing the base rail. The 5th wheel install kits will all use four bolts per side to secure the base rail... view full answer...
The Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90885 will only need to be paired once for each trailer you have. If you tow a different trailer then you would have to go through the setup procedure again but that is the only time you would have to go through the setup procedure more than once. The Tekonsha Prodigy P2 must remain plugged in the entire time. It only draws milliamps of power while in sleep mode so you can leave it plugged in while the vehicle is off as well. If you... view full answer...
You do make sense but there is not a diagram showing the blade functions of the Epicord 7-Way Molded Trailer Plug with Junction Box # 277-000141 because it shows the wire colors by function. So the intention is to make it simple by showing you what wires on your trailer you need to connect to the junction box.
While I do understand you thinking it may be the plug not matching up, that's highly unlikely. I know you said you checked your grounds but do the turn signal lights ground via... view full answer...
In order to show you how to remove and replace the lens on the Optronics Pedestal Mount 3-Function Trailer Light ST51RB I pulled one from our warehouse. For reference, this light uses replacement incandescent bulb 2057, available at automotive supply stores.
If you refer to the linked video you will see that we found the best way to remove the lens was to use a pry tool. In this case we chose to use a plastic bottle opener since its less likely to damage the lens than a steel screwdriver... view full answer...
To install a Tekonsha brake controller, such as the PowerTrac Time Delayed Brake Controller # 39523, you would want a wiring harness. The Tekonsha and Draw-Tite Brake Controller harness # 20127 is designed to work with Tekonsha brake controllers.
If you do not have a 4-way flat or a 7-way connector at the rear of your 1992 Ford F-150, you will want to install a wiring harness with a 4-way flat. I recommend the Tow Ready T-One Wiring Harness # 118316. This wiring harness will plug into... view full answer...
If you were to back up in a straight line there wouldn't be any problems with having the Pro Series Weight Distribution system part # 49570 with # 83600 installed. But if you were to end up in a tight turn situation you would end up damaging the friction sway control unit and could potentially damage bars. They aren't made to withstand a jackknifed turn. view full answer...
On your 1999 Ford F-150 with factory 4-Way flat, the brake controller port is located under the dash close to the center console. It is near the OBDII diagnostic port. I have included a link to a video showing installation of a brake controller that shows this location. Your truck uses harness # 3035-P and not # 3034-P.
You will also need to add a 7-Way connector. For that I recommend # 118242 which also includes the relays and fuses to make the harness functional. You might want to check... view full answer...
