  • Mixing 215/75-15 and 205/75-15 Sized Tires on Trailer
  • It sure will. You really want to avoid mixing tire sizes, as it can lead to poor handing, uneven tire wear and increased trailer sway. It's acceptable to use a mismatched but close tire size for a temporary spare as long as you get the original tire fixed or replaced as soon as possible, but using it permanently would be dangerous. The 215/75-15 is about 1/2 inch taller, which doesn't seem like much it will make a difference. I'd recommend going with two of the # TA53VR tires and keeping...

  • What Size Screw For Chrome Bracket A67CB
  • You will simply need a screw that is 1/4" diameter or less for the Chrome Bracket and Single Wire Plug for Thin Line Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Lights # A67CB. Most people re-use the hardware that is already on their trailer but if that won't work you'd need to source the screws at a local hardware store.

  • Do Dometic Water Heaters Have An Anode Rod?
  • Dometic water heaters like the Dometic RV Water Heater # AT96121, which is no longer available, do not have anode rods. If your water heater is giving off a bad odor, I recommend sanitizing your entire system including your fresh water tank. What you can do is pour some bleach in you fresh water tank at a ratio of 1/4 cup of bleach to every 15 gallons of water. Then run it trough all your faucets until you smell the bleach. You'll want to also fill your water heater with this solution....

  • Do Air Helper Springs Increase Truck's Payload Capacity
  • Air helper spring kits like # AL57204 for the short bed or # AL57211 for the long bed provide up to 5000 lbs of support, but WILL NOT increase the payload capacity of the truck. None of the suspension enhancement products we offer will increase the truck's weight carrying capacity, they'll only provide leveling.

  • Yes, you can absolutely use an aluminum ball mount with a stainless steel hitch ball without worry of the ball mount corroding.

  • How to Determine Replacement Hubs, Grease Seals, Races, and Bearings for a Boat Trailer
  • In order to determine what replacement grease seals, races, bearings, and hubs you need, you first need to identify the capacity of your axle. The first thing you need to do is look for any axle tag or etched axle number on the crosstube itself. Sometimes this information is inside the axle hubs if the axles came as a complete assembly. The axle information can also be found on any paperwork you received from your trailer. If you cannot find any of the identifying information, the next...

  • Does Tow-Rax Wall Mounted Aluminum Folding Table Leave Marks on the Wall
  • My technical contact at Tow-Rax does not have any reports of the Tow-Rax Wall Mounted Folding Table # TWSP45HFTA leaving marks on walls.

  • How To Access 5th Wheel Basement While Trailer is Attached
  • I have a recommendation but unfortunately we do not offer a longer pin box to replace your Fabex MDI 500 to allow you to clear your basement door.

  • Can You Use Synthetic Rope With Dutton-Lainson Winches
  • I contacted Dutton-Lainson and unfortunately they do not recommend using synthetic rope with any of their winches. This is because synthetic ropes are slippery and slide over surfaces very easily. This means they create incredible constriction forces and will actually crush the solid steel reel hubs in their winches like their TuffPlate Self-Locking Winch # DL14993. They can also jam the reel and drive gears together so tightly the winch will not turn. I recommend using the Wire Cable...
