  • How to Determine Weight Distribution System Capacity for Travel Trailer
  • I couldn't find your order number to determine the exact weight distribution system you ordered from us, and the system matters due to their different tongue weight ranges. This is important because when choosing a weight distribution system for any trailer, you determine the correct system by your total tongue weight (TTW), which is the the tongue weight of your fully loaded and ready to go trailer plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle (in your case, a 2004...

  • Can I Load My Bikes Before Raising the Center Mast on the # HR1450Z?
  • When loading bikes onto the cradles before raising the center mast on the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Bike Rack for 2 Electric Cargo Bikes # HR1450Z or the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Cargo Bikes - 2" Hitches # HR1450Z-W, it truly depends on the height of the bike's downtube and the front derailleur/pedals. This is because the only way to raise the mast with a bike loaded is if the ratcheting hooks are all the way in the down-most position on the rack, and...

  • Can Stored Settings of Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Brake Controller be Changed if Needed
  • Excellent question, and yes, you can change the stored settings if needed on the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195. The five stored settings aren't permanent so you can change them if you switch trailers or decide the settings you had weren't exactly what you wanted. You can change the settings in the exact same process you initially stored them. The Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 is a really smart choice, not only for it's customization, but because it...

  • Optronics LED RVILL34 Dome Lights Too Bright
  • Unfortunately, Optronics doesn't offer replacement lenses or bulbs for this model. The diodes aren't replaceable, so if they should ever burn out, the lamp itself would need to be replaced. Although we don't offer a similar LED lamp that would be less bright than what you already have (most would be brighter), an incandescent lamp like # RVIL22 could be a good choice for areas where you're wanting lighting that isn't so bright. As you can see in the video I've linked for you, you can...

  • Is Access Toolbox Edition # 834532000821 Tonneau Cover Waterproof
  • When installed, the DeeZee # DZ8170DB tool box will sit flush against the front of the truck bed, but will not overhang the front of the bed. There will be a very small gap there that could admit water in a torrential downpour. I'm assuming you're speaking of the Access # 834532000821 Toolbox Edition Tonneau Cover. The cover will fit pretty snug up against the toolbox, but none of the tonneau covers we offer are billed as being waterproof. Even the tightest fitting tonneau can allow water...

  • Are Safety Chains Required for 5th Wheel Trailers
  • 5th wheel trailers do not require safety chains the way ball hitches like goosenecks do. Chains are only needed on ball-type couplers like standard receiver hitches and goosenecks. Since a 5th wheel connects at a king pin rather than a ball no chains are needed. Gooseneck hitches like # BWGNRK1111-5W include safety chain loops but 5th wheel hitches do not.

  • Visibility of LED on Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller
  • The LED's on your Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 illuminate in blue to indicate device not connected, green when it is connected, yellow when calibrating, and red to indicate a fault. Being able to see the LED lights are not that important unless you are troubleshooting an issue or to see status during pairing. Once you are connected/paired to your smart phone the same information that the the indicator lights provide is also, and more easily, viewed from connected...

  • Reese Semi-Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit For A 2012 Dodge Ram 1500
  • The reason you need the Reese Universal Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP30439 along with the Reese Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP58386 is because the kit # RP58386 does not come with the adapter brackets needed for installation. Since this kit is considered "Semi-Custom", the brackets are required.

  • Registering Trailer With a VIN But No Title
  • Since you have VIN number, you will simply need to get a bill of sale since he didn't have a title. The DMV won't have record of the trailer because it hasn't been registered with a title yet. With the VIN and a Bill of Sale, you will be able to get the title you need and get it registered.

  • Testing Functions on 7-Way Trailer Socket on 2014 Dodge Ram Pickup
  • If your 2014 Dodge Ram Pickup has a factory-installed 7-way trailer connector, then the reverse light circuit should be connected. The common configuration for RV-style 7-way sockets is for the center pin to carry the reverse light signal. Please refer to the linked photo that shows the function carried on each pin. If you have a circuit tester like # PTW2993 you can test the truck connector to see if a reverse light signal is present. Have a competent helper start the truck and shift...

  • Probable Performance Gains from Aftermarket Cold Air Intake
  • You ask a very reasonable question. The makers of performance-enhancing products like programmers and cold air intakes (CAIs) base their estimated performance gains on ideal best-case circumstances. In other words, they presume that the vehicle is in top shape and has no deteriorated sub-systems that would limit the gains, such as fouled plugs or a dirty fuel system. For instance, a tuner claimed to offer "up to 100 additional horsepower" that is installed in a vehicle with very worn...

  • Replacement Mounting Hardware For 4 Inch Oval Aries Nerf Board On A 2004 Dodge Ram Pickup
  • I believe you are correct, the mounting hardware you have # AABRKT-S224046 is meant to replace the mounting hardware on the Aries Oval Nerf Bars # AAS224046, which are not a fit for your 2004 Dodge Ram. Instead, you should have ordered the Replacement Mounting Hardware Kit for Aries 4" Oval Nerf Bars # AA96FB for the Aries Oval Nerf Bars # AAS225008 which is a fit for your vehicle.

  • Federal Requirement for Trailer Lighting and Best Options for Adding Lights to a Utility Trailer
  • There are minimum lighting requirements for trailers that vary based on trailer size and weight, but to our knowledge there are no maximum limits for trailer lights, provided that all the mandatory lighting is installed. We've recapped the federal requirements in the linked article which will give you specifics. I am sure there is a law enforcement officer out there somewhere that might pull over a motorist for having what he/she considers "excessive" trailer lighting, lighting that is...

  • Recommendations For 2005 Dodge Ram Truck With Short Bed To Make Turns With Wide Travel Trailer
  • I wish I had better news but there are no adapters that will allow you to make 90 degree turns as long as you are using the gooseneck in your truck and on your trailer. The only adapter I could recommend is the Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System, part # AM3200, but it would only give you an additional 5-1/2 inches of clearance and that would not work with a trailer that is 103 inches wide as you said your trailer is. The best recommendation I can make is to replace...
