Expert Answers about Chevrolet RV and Camper Hitch


  • Is There a Backup Camera to Use to Help Load My Truck Bed Camper on to My 1999 Ford F-250
  • I have not seen any reviews or anyone actually trying to use the Swift Hitch Digital Wireless Hitch Alignment Camera and Monitor - Night Vision - 8-Hr Camera Battery # SH02Digital to load their truck bed camper. Any camera that will help you load your camper will have to be removed and I have another option I think will work a little better and easier for you. The option I have is the Rear View Safety WiFi Hitch Backup Camera System - Wireless # RVS-83112-WiFi. This camera will connect...

  • Ultra-Fab 2 Trailer Hitch Receiver For Carrying Bikes on Rear of RV
  • If your camper has frame rails that are between 47-1/8 and 77 inches apart, the Ultra-Fab # UF35-946403 will work. The hitch has a 350 lb tongue weight capacity, which means that the weight of the bikes and the rack they're carried on cannot exceed 350 lbs. This being said, be aware that most bike racks out there aren't designed for use on the rear of a towed camper. A bike rack installed on a towed camper will be subjected to an extreme amount of bouncing and crashing that it wouldn't...

  • Weight of Hopkins Engager Push-To-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit
  • The Hopkins Engager Push-To-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit with Built-In Battery Charger # 20400 only weighs four pounds, so it won't affect the hitch weight much at all. In regards to the brakes, this kit should not be used in place of your RV battery as its only function is for an emergency stop and this will help ensure the kit's battery is always fully charged. I have added links below to a video install and help article for you to check out as well of the Hopkins Engager Push-To-Test...

  • Why is There A Hitch on Back of Fifth Wheel Trailer?
  • The laws on pulling trailers mostly varies depending on weight and total length of your setup, but yes, people do sometimes tow a trailer behind another trailer. For the majority of people though, that hitch is used for accessories approved for use behind an RV. Those accessories are commonly in forms of bike racks such as the Swagman Dispatch # S44FR or cargo carriers such as the Stromberg Carlson # CC-100.

  • Information About Double/Triple Towing and Hitch for a Travel Trailer
  • We do not recommend that you double/triple tow (tow one trailer behind another trailer). Many states either don't allow double/triple towing or have numerous restrictions. Some states limit the total length of all 3 units (truck/trailer/trailer), some only allow certain types of trailers behind the first trailer and some require a special endorsement on your license to be allowed to double/triple tow. You will need to check the laws for any state you plan on double/triple towing in to ensure...

  • How Do The Steps Work With The Solera Family Room Skirting On The Camper?
  • When you install the camper side panel of the Solera Family Room # LC362230 you will be trimming out an opening for the steps to pass through.

  • Is There a Diode in the Circuit to the RV Auxiliary Power
  • No, there is not a diode in the circuit feeding the RV Auxiliary power. It sounds to me that you are wanting to use the solar panels on your RV to maintain the charge on your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado. You will not be able to use the solar panels to charge the battery on your truck. Unless you used the solar panels to power your RV and plugged a charger like the CTEK MULTI US 7002 12-Volt Universal Battery Charger # CTEK56353 into your RV outlet. If you are concerned about your RV draining...

  • What 5TH Wheel To Gooseneck Adapters Will Not Void The Warranty On My 5TH Wheel Camper
  • Yes, using a Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5GX1216 can void the manufacturers warranty. Currently the only approved gooseneck adapter is the Reese Goosebox. You will need to select the right one based on your current pin box and trailers GVWR. The pin box will have a sticker to tell you what model you have and the GVWR can be found on the drivers side of the camper on the vehicle information sticker.

  • How Is The Ventline Pinnacle Ducted RV Range Hood Powered
  • The Ventline Pinnacle Ducted RV Range Hood with Light # VE78SR runs off of 12v DC power so it's actually going to be powered by the trailer battery. You can wire this to the battery or more preferably to the power center in your camper. Typically a camper will have a converter to charge the battery while hooked up to shore power/generator power to keep the battery charged. Most power centers typically have the converter installed inside of it.

  • Scale For Determining Travel Trailer Tongue Weight
  • We have an option for you so you can know exactly what the tongue weight on your RV is, but because they come in so many shapes and sizes, and because how a trailer is loaded can make the tongue weight vary significantly, a guesstimate is not something you'll want to rely on by any means. That said, generally it's somewhere in the range of 10 percent to 15 percent, but I very strongly recommend verifying any tongue weight with a simple tongue weight scale: - Tongue Weight Scale for Campers...

  • Will a Round Tube Trailer Hitch Have More Flex and Lower Performance of Weight Distribution System
  • In my opinion, since you already have the OEM hitch on your vehicle, I would not replace it with a square tube hitch, especially if you aren't having any issues with towing. Consumers tow everyday using a weight distribution hitch with a round tube hitch and do just fine. I consulted with my contact at Cequent, the parent company of Hidden Hitch, Draw-Tite, and Reese, to get their opinion as well and basically the round tube is going to be a little less resistant to torque but as long...

  • What To Do If The Door Release Button On Your RV Microwave No Longer Opens The Door
  • Yes, if the door release button on your Greystone Standard RV Microwave # 324-000105 has zero tension and isn't opening the door then it is defective. To fix this you would have to take the microwave completely apart, which is not recommended, so replacement is the only option. If you have a different model than the # 324-000105 let me know and I can find the correct replacement for you. If you bought your camper from a dealership and have a warranty I highly recommend making a claim.
