• Can An A-Frame Trailer Jack Be Wired To The 7-Pole Cable
• Yes, it is possible to wire your Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-3555 into the 7-way. There isn't much room inside of the 7-pole plug so the easiest way to power your jack from the 7-pole would be to wire it to the 12v power in your trailer's junction box. If you follow the 7-way cable along the frame of the trailer you'll see some sort of box where the wires from the cable will run and connect to the wires for your trailer's lighting and brakes. A lot of the trailers that...

• Cargo Carrier Options While Towing Small Camper
• We don't offer an extension such as what you speak of. Once you get a couple feet rearward of where the hitch and cargo carrier meet, any extension would act like a lever that would apply too much force to the hitch which would cause it to fail. We do offer a solution that might work for you, though. The Stromberg Carlson # CC-255 A-frame mounted cargo tray would attach to the A-frame of your tent trailer. As long as you have about 30 inches of available space between the camper and the...

• Options to Carry Extra Cargo on a Travel Trailer That Cannot Use a Tongue Mounted Carrier
• The Stromberg Carlson Trailer Tray Cargo Carrier for A-Frame Trailers # CC-255 is a nice option but if you do not have the tongue weight room, I do have a couple potential options for you. But, we do not have a cargo rack designed to mount to your trailers bumper and place it above your spare tire. There is the Surco Spare-Tire-Mounted Cargo Basket # SPSJ4319 which will mount to your spare tire mount if it is attached to your trailer and not an aftermarket bumper or hitch mounted spare...

• Spare Tire Carrier Option For Cargo Trailer
• There are plenty of options for spare tire carries that can work for a cargo trailer but zero made specifically for the side of a cargo trailer so you probably saw some type of custom job. That's not something we can offer so you have to go with a traditional one on your frame like the Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier # FHDSTC0101.

• How to Carry Cargo Carrier While Towing a Trailer
• We do have an easy solution for you to use a cargo carrier and tow at the same time, though you would not be able to put a hitch ball on a cargo carrier because they do not have the strength to tow a trailer. To carry your extra gear while you go camping what you can use is the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount with 2" Receiver for Bike Racks and Cargo Carriers # D210 which allows you to use a hitch ball to tow and has a receiver on top for a cargo carrier such as the Curt # C18113. For a...

• Is Weight Distribution Hitch Weight Added to Trailer
• While we don't carry the ProPride line so I cannot speak specifically to how it works, with weight distribution systems that we carry such as the Equal-i-zer # EQ37100ET and Strait-Line # RP66084, the weight of the system itself is not added as tongue weight or cargo weight so you would not add the weight of these systems. Unless the ProPride is somehow dramatically different than these systems - and from what I saw online it doesn't look like it - the weight of this hitch won't count either.

• Does Tongue Weight for Hitch on 2014 Dodge Challenger Include Cargo Carrier
• The weight of the cargo carrier as well as the weight of the cargo is included in the tongue weight for a hitch on your 2014 Dodge Challenger. For example, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13236 has a 350 lb tongue weight, so you would add the weight of the cargo carrier plus the weight of the luggage on the carrier to get the tongue weight. To maximize the amount of gear you can carry I recommend a lightweight aluminum carrier, the 49x22-1/2 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # C18113. This...

• Do Cargo Carriers Need To Be Registered Like a Trailer
• The Flint Hill Goods # FHG69ZR Cargo Carrier isn't a trailer. Rather than being towed behind the vehicle, the carrier attaches to the 2-inch trailer hitch. The carrier doesn't have wheels or a VIN number, so it doesn't meet the legal definition of a trailer. However, there are two possible legal ramifications of using a cargo carrier. 1) If the carrier or the items placed on it blocks the taillights, you'll want to install a light kit on the carrier. We offer an LED lamp kit as part...

• Bike and Cargo Carrier Combinations That Can be Used on the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer
• We have a few different variations of items that will fit together on the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer, # Y08106. This trailer has a weight capacity of 250 lbs, but will require the Heavy Duty Shocks, # Y08110, if you exceed 200 lbs, and a width of 66 inches. This trailer can carry a maximum of 6 bikes without any other cargo, so you will want to have at least 11 inches available for each bike. You could mount 3 bikes using roof mounted bike racks like the Yakima ForkLift Bike Carrier,...

• How is Trailer Tongue Weight for Weight Distribution Determined
• Since you are asking about tongue weight in the context of a weight distribution system, the answer is a flat yes, the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle does count towards your Total Tongue Weight (TTW). Overall, trailer tongue weight is the downward force that is applied to the trailer hitch, so it would be the weight applied to the hitch. In order to truly determine your tongue weight you do need a scale, and you can do so very easily with the etrailer # e99044. I...

• Can Trailer Hitch be Installed on 2019 Honda Accord Only For Cargo Carrier
• Absolutely; many, many people install a hitch just for the use of an accessory like a cargo carrier or bike rack and never tow anything. So you can definitely install a hitch on your 2019 Honda Accord (excluding hybrid) for a cargo carrier, with the correct hitch being the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11525. The only thing to keep in mind is the # C11525 is a Class I hitch so you do need a Class I compatible cargo carrier. The one I like quite a bit is from Curt, the 17x46 Curt Cargo...

• Understanding Vehicle Payload And Tongue Weight
• Payload is any weight added to the vehicle, including cargo and passengers inside; it doesn't matter if it is in front or behind the rear axle. Tongue weight, on the other hand, is any weight added behind the rear axle of the vehicle; this includes cargo in the trunk or bed along with the tongue weight of your trailer. Tongue weight counts as payload. In your case, the cargo carrier and everything on the cargo carrier will count as tongue weight, thus counting as payload as well. I attached...

• Generator And Cargo Carrier Mounting Options For Trailers
• The Mount-n-Lock GennyGo Generator and Cargo Carrier for RV Bumpers # MNT34FR is meant to be mounted on the bumper of your RV and cannot be mounted to the tongue of your trailer without some pretty extreme modification and fabrication. However there is still a solution to mount your generator to the tongue of your trailer, the Stromberg Carlson Trailer Tray Cargo Carrier for A-Frame Trailers # CC-255 will work perfectly for your needs and can also support up to 300lbs. This carrier sits...

• What Does GVWR Mean for Trailer
• GVWR stands for "Gross Vehicle Weight Rating" and you are on the money - it means the total combined weight allowed of the trailer and cargo when fully loaded. Trailers will have two weights, dry weight and cargo capacity. These two weights added together will be the trailer's GVWR and when choosing a trailer hitch receiver or fifth wheel hitch, you want to be sure you get one with a capacity that exceeds the GVWR of your trailer and that your vehicle also has the necessary towing capacity. I...

• What Does GCWR Mean for 2013 Ford F-150
• I can understand the confusion, because these weights are made to seem more complicated that it really is (in my opinion, anyway). So the GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating) is the absolute most your 2013 Ford F-150 and trailer can weigh combined. That's the limit no matter what. If the truck is loaded and weighs 7,350 lbs, that means the most your loaded trailer can weigh is 6,150 lbs (which is 13,500 - 7,350). You were on the money with that, as well as your last paragraph; if your unloaded...

• Camco UltraGuard Trailer Cover With Access To Rear Door For Cargo Trailer
• The closest size cover we offer to the dimensions you mentioned your trailer is would be part # CAM45740. This cover measures 22-ft long, 110 inches wide and 98 inches tall. This cover does have a flap that can be opened or tied down at the rear for your camper. The biggest issue will be with the excessive length of 22-ft which may be too long for your trailer.
