• What Could Cause Ramp Door on Enclosed Car Hauler to Become Out of Line
• It is difficult to say what exactly may have caused the ramp door on your enclosed car hauler to come out of alignment. It could be a bad hinge or something could have been damaged on the door itself with the previous owner, which over time lead to the door coming more and more out of line. We do offer some ramp door replacement parts, such as the Polar Hardware Ramp Door Hinge # PLR1902 if you find that the hinges should be replaced. I have included a link that will take you to our available...

• How to Lift Up Rear of Honda Accord with a Hitch Installed
• I have a solution for you, but with the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24787 installed on your 2005 Honda Accord you will not be able to use the tow hook location to jack your car. You cannot use the hitch as a jack point. You would either need to find an alternate jack point, use a lift, or you could use something like the FloTool RhinoRamps Vehicle Ramp Set # FT11909MI to lift the rear of your Accord.

• Troubleshooting Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack Movement While Driving with a 2012 Honda Crosstour
• Thank you for reaching out and your purchase of the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches # Y96FR. Using a stabilizing strap can help keep the rack from moving around as much so if that's the route you want to take then I recommend using the Curt Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap # 18050 which can be secured to your trunk/hatch or safety chain loops - whichever is easiest to then extend the strap to the bike rack. With that being said, the reason why you're experiencing...

• Troubleshooting Running Light Malfunctions on a Kaufman Trailers Mini 5 Car Hauler
• If the other lights are working correctly, the most likely cause would be a bad ground. Ground issues may not be apparent until a larger load is placed on the circuit, like when the taillights are activated. It is also common for tilting, folding tongue trailers, and trailer with lots of moving components, like your car hauler to have grounding problems due to the moving components. These moving components, prevent full continuous contact of the metal surfaces, and interrupt the ground...

• Trailer Brake Controller Either Locks Up Trailer Brakes or Doesnt Brake Enough
• It is possible that the brake controller is mounted outside of the range specified in its manual and that could cause some unwanted behavior. If it is a time delay controller then you may need to adjust both the gain (power output) and the sync (how long it takes to ramp up to the preset gain level). You can also check to make sure both the trailer side and vehicle side connectors are clean and free of corrosion both on the pins as well as inside where the wires attach. I have included...

• Troubleshooting Violent Braking When Towing A Boat Trailer With A 2021 Grand Cherokee Overland
• This issue is most likely your ParkSense assist is stopping your car because the sensor in the rear of your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee is sensing something (the trailer) in the way. To fix this you'll need to just turn of the rear ParkSense by hitting the button on your dash located under your UConnect system. This will stop the violent braking and allow you to back your boat trailer up to the dock.

• Troubleshooting Trailer that is Continuously Shaking
• Most trailer hubs are lug centric and the wheels will be centered by the lugs. If you do have hub centric hubs you will need the pilot hole to be exactly the correct diameter to fit onto the hub. If it's hub centric it will likely use bolts instead of studs with lug nuts. Some wheel manufacturers do make rings that will fit on the rim to make the pilot hole a specific size if you need it to be hub centric. These rings will be made specifically for the particular wheel and I don't think...

• What Hitch Drop Adapter Do I Need for My Rocky Mount Backstage # RKY10002?
• Yes, you will be able to use the Roadmaster High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars - 2" Hitches # RM-048-8 for making your Rocky Mount Backstage # RKY10002 sit lower on the hitch. The only thing to keep in mind is that you will be cutting the hitch weight capacity in half. Since you have 130 pounds of bike weight and 60 pounds of weight from the Backstage, you will have a total of 190 pounds to accommodate on the hitch. Please note that the Rocky Mount Backstage is only rated for 60 pounds per-bike....
