Expert Answers about Wheel Covers Hubcaps


  • Is it Normal for the Baby Moon Hubcap # AM90086 to Fit Loosely on my Wheels?
  • When fitting the Baby Moon Hubcap # AM90086 to your 13-inch 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern wheel of your 1968 Cardinal trailer, it should tightly snap into the hub like shown on the attached video. There may be some slight turning of the cap, but it should not freely pop off of the hub without using a fair amount of force. It is possible to remove the cap by hand, but it should be difficult to remove. If you need a slightly larger size, the Americana Pointed Top Baby Moon Trailer Wheel Center...

  • For Curt trailer hitch # C11416 for the 2016 Honda HR-V if you have an all wheel drive model then there is no cover, lines, or fascia have to be removed, trimmed, or otherwise manipulated to install the trailer hitch.

  • Troubleshooting Mounting Issues With A MaxxAir II RV Vent Cover
  • to my knowledge there isn't a different generation of the MaxxAir II Covers since it is the second gen for the MaxxAir FanMate. The MaxxAir II RV and Trailer Roof Vent Cover w/ EZClip # MA26JR is 22" long x 17-12" wide x 9-3/4" tall so I would just double check that you actually received this model and not something else. That being said you could also just remove the old brackets and install the new ones to get the cover to mount.

  • Will 4 Wheel Drive Make A Difference Towing With A Kia Soul
  • You should use 2-wheel drive for normal towing conditions. In extreme weather conditions like snow covered or muddy roads that would normally require 4 wheel drive. That said, the 2019 Kia Soul owner's manual says the following regarding towing in Section 6, page 114: "Towing capacity: We do not recommend using this vehicle for trailer towing."

  • Brake Controller Works When Brake is Activated but Trailer Brakes Do Not Work
  • I would start by using a circuit tester such as part # PTW2993 on the brake output pin on the trailer connector while activating the override switch, to see if you are getting any output at the connector. If this checks out, probe the brake output wire just before it reaches the brake assembly. This will verify that the power is reaching the brakes. We have a brake controller testing video for you to review, see link. There are a few other problems that might be causing your problem. The...

  • Troubleshooting Electric Trailer Brake Assembly That is Running Hot
  • I would recommend completely ruling out the bearings by closely examining them and the spindle for discoloration caused by overheating. If you have determined that it is the brakes that are hot, and not the hub itself, I would recommend readjusting the brake assembly. What you are experiencing could certainly happen if the brake assembly was out of adjustment. To adjust the brake assembly, jack up trailer and secure on adequate capacity jack stands. Check that the wheel and drum rotate...

  • Tire Sidewalls are Cracking on Kenda ST205/75D14 Bias Trailer Tires # AM1ST86
  • I actually have this same problem, though it is occurring on my car and not a trailer. I spoke to our resident tire expert and he stated that this happens from the UV rays in the sun. It is not an immediate concern unless your tires are losing air pressure. If this happens they will need to be replaced. If the tires do need to be replaced at some point, I also recommend cleaning out the wheels where the tires normally cover them. Gunk can build up in there and also cause tire pressure...

  • Brakes on Only One Trailer Axle are Working
  • There is no setting on the Brake Controller that would make one axle work, and one not. I would first use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 and verify that the brake magnets on the axle that does not seem to be working are getting voltage. Use the tester on the brake output wires as close as possible to the brake magnets while a helper activates the brake override switch on the brake controller. If the magnets are not getting power, you have a wiring issue. You will have to check the...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Break-Away System that Isnt Fully Applying Trailer Brakes
  • The first thing I'd check is that the break away battery is fully charged and in good condition. Check the terminals for corrosion, clean them if needed. Then, you'll want to take a look at the wiring instructions for a common break away system that I've linked for you, and ensure that the system has been wired properly. With the pin pulled, use a multi meter like part # PT89ZR and make sure you're getting a full 12 volts at the brake magnets. I would also check the brakes for proper adjustment....

  • Will the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Boxes Void the Frame Warranty
  • The Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Boxes like part # GY58GR is not approved by Lippert no, but that doesn't mean you should not consider this for your trailer as Lippert cannot simply void your frame warranty just by installing the pin box, you are covered under the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act. If there was an issue with the frame because of something that the pin box did then that would be a different story but as far as I know, the concerns with the product are...

  • How to Avoid Trailer Tire Failure on Long Trips
  • There are two considerations that apply to your concern about repeated trailer tire failure. One is load capacity. If your loaded trailer weight exceeds the load capacity of your tires then this condition could lead to excessive heat build-up and subsequent tire failure. Trailer tires must always be inflated to their maximum psi pressure as indicated on the tire's sidewall. If under-inflated the side walls will flex too much and generate excessive heat. The other consideration is the...

  • Troubleshooting 5th Wheel Hitch Jaws That Will Not Release
  • When your # RP30921 5th wheel hitch will not easily release its jaws from your king pin there are a few potential causes. One is that you are due for normal periodic lubrication of the jaw and release mechanism. Another possibility is that there is too much tension on the king pin from the truck and trailer not being on the same level surface. There is also the chance that the jaw or handle mechanism is simply worn out or damaged. For a hitch that is 16 years old this last possibility becomes...

  • One Wheel on a Boat Trailer Locks Up and Trailer Actuator is Leaking Brake Fluid
  • It sounds like you have a leak in the system either in a brake line or at the actual wheel cylinder. If this is the case, you may not have to replace the entire hub or brake assembly, just the part that is leaking. A leak can also draw air into the system and cause the brakes to lock. My theory is that it is the wheel cylinder on that one side. After you inspect the brakes and find the culprit, make sure that you bleed the braking system. There are vacuum type systems that you can use...
