• Options For Mounting WDH Frame Brackets In An Alternative Location
• One option is to relocate the propane tank tray. A lot of times the trays are attached to the A-frame with self tapping screws. You could remove the screws and move the tray front/back as needed.

Another option is to go with an Equalizer brand WD hitch like the # EQ37140ET....

• Can Trimax Puck Lock for Trailer Door Hasps be Keyed Alike
• The Trimax Puck Lock for Trailer Door Hasps # TMX96RR cannot be keyed alike. While disappointing I'm sure, there is another option to consider, which is to order a quantity of two of the Trimax Puck Locks for Trailer Door Hasps # TMX73FR. The # TMX73FR comes with three locks, each of them with the same key, so if you ordered two you'd get six total locks that only use two different keys. While this is one more lock than you asked for, I wanted to mention it as an option just because it'd...

• How to Measure the Bed of 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 and How Do I Know If I Have a Cargo Management System

• Correct Vehicle-End 7-Way Pin Functions
• The photo you are referring to, which I have added, is actually correct. The left side of the diagram is simply the face of a vehicle-end 7-way. The right side of the diagram is what you would see if you pulled the connector out, turned it around and looked inside. That is why the functions (Brake Controller Output, Ground) are on the opposite sides. I have added a link to a help article on trailer wiring which I recommend checking out as it has a bunch of really good info.

• Can Trailer Tow a Trailer With Golf Car
• From my research it looks like the GVWR of the 2018 Forest River Work and Play you were referring to is 11,300 lbs so the GVWR of the trailer and golf cart you wanted to haul would need to be less than 1,200 lbs (due to the 12,500 lb towing capacity of your truck). That seems unlikely, and you would also need to stay within the tongue weight rating of no more than 1,500 lbs, which is something you would only be able to find out once the trailer(s) are fully loaded either by using a scale...
