  • Determining The Correct Size Wheels For A 2018 Keystone Springdale 258RLWE Travel Trailer
  • Manufacturers do not list the wheel sizes they use on their trailers so the only way to know for certain is to measure the bolt pattern and pilot hole. Below I've attached our printable bolt pattern template as well as our help article on measuring the bolt pattern incase you don't have access to a printer. If you did have a 15" x 5 on 4-1/2 wheel with a 3.19" pilot hole you would be able to use the Westlake ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 15" Silver Mod Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range...

  • Do the Load Resistors Go Inside the Light Assembly When Switching to LEDs On a Trailer
  • When installing the LED Trailer Tail Light with License Plate Bracket part # 328-003-81LBM1 with a load resistor like the Putco LED Light Bulb Load-Resistor Kit part # DI34ZR, the load resistor will not get installed inside the actual light assembly. The load resistor just needs to be inline with the signal wire so a few inches behind the taillight will be just fine. Furthermore, the load resistors do get hot so they will need to be mounted in an area clear of any obstructions.

  • B&W Companion Draw Down Bolt Not Tightening to Installation Specs
  • The B&W Companion Slider Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs # BWRVK3400 should not be loosening as you state and it does sound like you have either a stripped bolt because it tightens to an extent and then loosens but will allow you to tighten again to that same point. I've attached the installation details that state it should be torqued to 80 foot lbs for use. This bolt draws the hitch firmly into the bed of the truck ensuring the underbed connection...

  • Will the etrailer Electric Jack W/ Footplate Interfere With My Tailgate on My 2015 Ram 2500?
  • I have not personally heard of such a thing but I can imagine it being an area of concern. The Electric Jack w/ Footplate # EJ-3520-BBX measures 5-1/4" total forward from the mounting flange. With that information you should able to determine if your tailgate will open or not. I have attached a picture for you to check out with this measurement along with a couple others.

  • How to Reduce the Amount of Force it Takes to Engage my Spring Bars on my Fastway E2
  • The only way to reduce the force needed to get the bars engaged on weight distribution systems like the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control part # FA94-00-1000 is to reduce the amount of pitch you have set into the weight distribution system or to use the jack to lift the trailer and truck combination higher. Of the two options the second is the way to go. Of course you need to chock the wheels on the truck and trailer as you would anyway to be safe but overall this...

  • Can Spacers be Used to Raise the Height of a 2013 Keystone Cougar 27RKS
  • We have heard of people using spacer blocks to raise the height of their trailer along with the over-under conversion kit you referenced or the Tandem Axle Lift Kit # RR23QX and everything seemed to work okay so I would say you can use it to raise the height of your 2013 Keystone Cougar 27RKS but it isn't the best or recommended option. The best option would be to use tall hangers to make up the difference. This means that you wouldn't be using longer U-Bolts that may not have been rated...

  • How to Remove the Lens on the LED RV Interior Light with Switch 328-K-1030WSM2
  • I spoke to Command Electronics and they indicated that the LED board is most likely going bad if you are getting a strobe effect with the LED RV Interior Light with Switch part # 328-K-1030WSM2. Unfortunately, the LED board is not replaceable so you would need to replace the entire light. In order to remove the lens you would want to take a butterknife and use it to pry between the outer edge of the lens and trim piece. You will then have access to the mounting screws needed to remove it...

  • Workaround For Turning On Remote Generator with Trailer Connected Using Remote Control
  • An engine warmup delay is programmed into the remote start cycle. After the generator is running, there will be a delay of electrical output for 15 seconds. A delay also occurs after pushing STOP on the remote, so the electric load is automatically disconnected when using the remote. This prevents the low voltage situation you mentioned.

  • Where Do I Install the Lippert Replacement Hydac Cartridge on my Lippert 141111 Reservoir Pump
  • I've looked at both the # LC141111 and the # LC177094 and it doesn't appear that these parts are compatible since there are no ports to install those cartridge valves into. I confirmed this with Lippert, and from the sounds of what you're explaining, it would seem to me that one of the rams on the slideouts is causing this issue. Without the motor and pump being turned on and engaged, the slideouts will not move unless one of the cylinders in the rams is leaking fluid; they would hold everything...

  • Installing Replacement Awning Fabric Onto 16 Foot Roller
  • The Solera Replacement Awning Fabric for 16' Roller Assemblies - Blue Fade # LCV000334402 actually slides into the channels of the metal roller assembly. I have added a photo from the installation video I linked for you as an example of the channel. I strongly recommend watching the installation video, and the actual assembly of the fabric onto the rollers begins at about the 2:30 mark. I have also added a link to our entire selection of replacement fabric for you to take a look at.

  • What Is The Torque Specs For The Curt Rota-Flex Pin Box?
  • For the Curt Rota-Flex 5th Wheel Pin Box # LC176440, Curt recommends to reuse the old hardware that was removed from the original pin box, unless they are damaged or unusable. The torque spec is dictated by the type of bolt that is used along with the type of metal it is made of. For example, if you have 1/2"-13 grade 5 zinc plated bolts, then the proper torque spec is, 65 ft-lbs. I have attached a chart that expands upon this, provided by Curt.

  • The Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors part # BB2717 are not threaded, they instead offer press-in installation. There are Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors available which are threaded but not for a 2.717" bore. I have attached a full list of options below but you will need to verify the exact hub bore down to the thousandth of an inch to confirm.

  • Can Furrion Vision S Backup Camera FOS43TASF be Installed on 2017 Keystone Avalanche
  • That is a good question and yes, even if your 2017 Keystone Avalanche is not pre-wired for a backup camera system, you can absolutely still install the Furrion backup camera: - Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System w/ Night Vision - 4.3" Screen # FOS43TASF I have added a link below to the manual for the Vision S # FOS43TASF, and you would simply need to wire the camera to a 12 volt power source and then either the running lights to have an observation camera, or the reverse...

  • Where Does Gooseneck Hitch Ball Normally Sit in Bed of Truck
  • Ideally the gooseneck hitch ball gets centered right above the rear truck axle or sometimes up to a couple inches forward from that point. This puts the pin weight of the gooseneck trailer squarely on the rear suspension and doesn't allow it to unweight the front axle of the truck at all.

  • Could Wheel Masters Level Master 2 Trailer Bubble Level # WM67200 Install with Adhesive
  • I am sure you could use adhesive to attach the Wheel Masters Level Master 2 Trailer Bubble Level # WM67200 to your fifth wheel if you wanted to but we don't have an option for that. You could use something like Liquid Nails.
