  • Are Additional Coolers Needed to Tow With 2019 Honda CR-V
  • Those are good questions and your 2019 Honda CR-V does have coolers already and additional coolers are not needed with the CVT transmission in this vehicle. I took a look at the owner's manual as well and it does address the issue by saying that towing a trailer will require you to change your transmission fluid every 25,000 miles, which is more often than if you were not towing. Since you do plan on towing, make sure you get the best equipment for your journey, and for your 2019 Honda...

  • Will Using Weight Distribution System Improve Engine Performance on 1989 Toyota 4Runner When Towing
  • The main purpose of a weight distribution system would be to reduce sway and the strain on rear suspension, as well as improve steering, when towing your Vintage travel trailer with your 1989 Toyota 4Runner. Using a weight distribution system really is a great idea but it would not have any affect on the performance of your engine. I have included an article which covers common weight distribution and sway control questions. When it comes to performance of your 4Runner, one recommendation...

  • How Does The Everchill Electric Cooler # EV57FR Lithium Battery Charge
  • Depending on the adapter used with the Everchill Electric Cooler with Internal Lithium Battery # EV57FR it can accept 12v/24v DC or 100v~240v AC. It is also able to accept 12v~50v from a solar panel system. The only power consumption listed is 90 watts which doesn't tell us a whole lot and whether or not that's the maximum draw but getting information from the manufacturer is a bit like pulling teeth unless you have a receipt. When plugged into a separate power source the cooler will...

  • Tow Dolly for Front Wheel Drive Vehicle with Electric Power Steering
  • The tow dolly you choose won't need to have any special arrangement for your electric power steering on your 2019 Acura RDX. The vehicle's front wheels will be secured with wheel straps so they won't move as you travel and the Demco # DM9713045 is a great option. I did look up your owners manual at it states that your vehicle is not designed to be towed behind a motorhome so doing so will be at your own risk. Towing with front wheels off the ground is an acceptable way of towing your...

  • What Brake Controller do You Recommend for My 2020 Toyota Highlander while Towing a 4,000 lb. Camper
  • I did some research on your 2020 Toyota Highlander L, and it looks like your vehicle is rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds. With this tow capacity, you will be able to safely tow without the need of a transmission cooler for your 4,000 pound trailer. As always, I recommend confirming with your owner's manual for the most accurate weight capacity rating. However, if you wish to extend the life of your transmission, I do recommend a transmission cooler like the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin...

  • Can Propane Be Used To Power An Everchill 12v RV Fridge
  • The Everchill RV Refrigerator w/ Freezer # 324-000119 only runs off of 12v DC power so you wouldn't be able to power it with propane. The fridge will draw more power if the temperature is hotter and depending on how many times/how long you have the door of the fridge open for. If you open the door less and keep the camper cooler the fridge won't draw as much power. The only other thing you could do would be to run a generator for a bit during the day to recharge your trailer's batteries...

  • How to Find Fuse Panel in a Travel Trailer
  • I pulled an online copy of the owner's manual for your 2015 Whitewater Retro 181B, and found that they don't specifically mention where the fuse box is located. I can't tell you exactly where it is, but I can steer you in the right direction... Generally speaking, the RV obtains power from 3 different sources, from the on-board batteries, from 120V shore power and from the tow vehicle passed through the trailer connector. All this will typically run through the power center, which will...

  • Since your 2012 Toyota Tacoma has a factory 7-way and trailer hitch installed, it likely has a tow package. Another component your vehicle may have that is related to a tow package is a brake controller port. When installing a brake controller, for your 2012 Tacoma with a brake controller port, you will be able to use a vehicle-specific brake controller wiring harness. This wiring harness would plug into the back of the brake controller and then into a port located under the dash, underneath...

  • Cooling Power of Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D13503 on 2008 Ford Ranger
  • I spoke with my contact at Derale and people typically see a 20 to 30 degree drop in fluid temperature when using the Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit, # D13503, on a 2008 Ford Ranger. The exact drop in temperature can not be determined due to varying conditions such as the weight of load when towing, terrain, outside temperatures, etc. For quick and easy installation with no cutting or flaring of the hoses, we offer kit # D13014 for 1/4",3/8" NPT fittings or kit # D13035...

  • How To Determine How Long A Battery Will Last When Powering A Portable Fridge
  • Watts divided by volts equals amps, so 65 watts divided by 12 volts is going to equal 5.42 amps. Your battery should have an amp hour rating that you can divide by 5.42 amps and then you'll know exactly how long the battery can maintain the draw from the fridge. For example, the Go Power Lithium RV Battery # 34282738 has a 100 amp hour rating so you would get 18.45 hours out of the battery. That being said a fridge isn't going to constantly be running and depending on the climate you...

Other factors would be if the rear of your truck sags when towing, which you said you do not have, or if your headlights point upward. I have attached a helpful article about weight distribution and sway control you can check out. If you want to...

  • Parts Needed to Tow With a 2020 Nissan Rogue
  • To answer your first question, you will be limited by the lowest rated component. It looks like the maximum towing capacity for your 2020 Nissan Rogue is 1,102 pounds. To verify this, you can check the inside door jamb of the driver door. There will be a sticker/label with all the capacities of the vehicle. As to the rest of your questions, a transmission cooler is generally suggested if you will be towing often. Transmissions can get pretty warm when doing this and a cooler will help...

  • Troubleshooting Tail Lights on 2007 Nissan Titan SE
  • Some Nissan Titans and Armadas use a relay for the trailer running lights that's located under the dash to the left of the steering column. There should be slots for three blue relays, and if you're missing one, as shown in the photo, it would explain why the trailer running lights aren't working. We carry the relay in the Curt Relay Kit # C57000. If it is the tail lights on your trailer that do not function, I suggest testing them directly first since this is easy to do and you do not...

  • How to Keep Vehicle Battery Charged While Flat Towing
  • Neither of those things are needed, so what you will do instead is use a battery charge line kit from Roadmaster.

So what you will need is the following: - Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25 So long as your motorhome has a 6-way or 7-way you are set, otherwise you will need to install a charge line kit from your motorhome.

  • Tuson Electronic Sway Control Experiencing Tail Wag At Speeds Over 65 MPH On 2015 Toyota Tundra
  • I have heard of similar issues and the culprit is often that the Trailer Sway Control System on your 2015 Toyota Tundra is fighting the Tuson Asymmetric Sway Control # 335TSC-1000 that you have on your Safari Condo Alto 2114. This is not normal and your unnerving feeling is completely justified. The Tuson system is attempting to send power to each side of your trailer individually and the Tundra is wanting to send power to both sides to attempt to correct the sway. You will have to turn...
