  • Which Hubs Can Be Used to Replace the Hubs on a UFP H-1062-3
  • The UFP hub that you've referenced isn't made any longer I don't believe, but we do have some options for you. From some previous customers, we've determined that the UFP H-1062-3 axle has a spindle that has # L44649 inner and outer bearings, and a grease seal that has a 1.979" OD and a 1.372" ID, like part # BB60005. You will need to choose the hub based off those bearings and the bolt pattern of the hub for your wheels, but the most likely one for a boat trailer of any size is a 5 on...

  • Recommended Bike Rack to Carry at Least 2 Bikes and Sometimes 4 on Back of 5th Wheel Trailer
  • I have some solutions for you, but there is not an expandable Thule rack that is rated for use on the back of a 5th wheel trailer. Instead, I recommend using the Swagman Trailhead 4 Bike Carrier # S63381, which is a 4 bike rack that is designed to be used on the back of a 5th wheel trailer or vehicle with a 2" receiver. The Trailhead is a great value rack that will stand up to the rigors of travel on the back of your 5th wheel and give you the flexibility to carry up to 4 bikes. The Trailhead...

  • Recommended Light Weight Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier At Least 30 Wide by 48 Long
  • The lightest weight hitch mounted carrier we have available is the 32x48 Reese Solo Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 400 lbs # PS1040100. This carrier weighs approximately 70-lbs and will fit in your 2" hitch receiver and is 47-3/4" long x 31-3/4" wide x 2-3/4" deep long when measured inside the rails with the ramp folded up. If you could go a little smaller, we have the Flint Hill Goods Hitch Mounted Aluminum Cargo Carrier - 500 lbs # FHG59ZR which is 48-3/16" long x 21-1/16" wide...

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Cargo Basket to Carry Bikes and Camping Gear for 2021 Toyota 4Runner
  • For the roof rack, I recommend using the Rhino Rack Roof Rack for Toyota 4Runner using parts # RRVA126B-2, # RRSX100. This rack will fit on the raised side rails of your 2021 4Runner and allow you to carry a cargo basket like the Rhino-Rack XTray Pro Cargo Basket and 2 Bike Carrier - Steel - 58-1/4" x 41" - 165 lbs # RRRMCB03 which comes with axle mounts for 2 bikes, so it's going to be able to serve multiple purposes.

  • Recommended Hitch with 2 Inch Receiver for 2018 Toyota Highlander
  • I recommend using the etrailer # e98844 which will give you the 2" receiver you're looking for, so it's ideal for carrying a bike rack or other hitch mounted accessories. This hitch is confirmed as a fit for your 2018 Toyota Highlander. I've gone ahead and linked an installation video of this hitch and our entire selection of bike racks that will fit in 2" receivers in case you don't already have one.

  • Which Trailer Wiring Harness for 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander
  • As long as your Outlander isn't the plug in hybrid (PHEV), I'd recommend the # 118482 for vehicles without the factory tow package or # 118277 for vehicles with the tow package. If your vehicle has the tow package, it will have the tow package electrical connector located behind the driver's side bulkhead in the cargo area, to the rear of the wheel well as shown in the provided photo. You could also call your Mitsubishi dealer with the VIN, and they should be able to tell you how the vehicle...

  • How to Keep Battery of 2018 GMC Yukon Charged When Flat Towing
  • I'd recommend using the 12-v charge line from the motorhome to provide a maintenance charge to the battery of the Yukon. You can easily do this by installing a Roadmaster Charge Line Kit, part # RM-156-25. I've linked to a demonstration video for the kit. Keep in mind that you'll still need to stop every 4 hours or so and run the vehicle for a few minutes, as the charge line kit won't have the ability to fully charge the battery.

  • Ramp Spring For Rear Door of 2015 Forest River Vengeance 5th Wheel Toy Hauler
  • We do offer a ramp spring that would work for you. According to my research, your Forest River Vengeance Toy hauler is about 8-1/2 feet wide, which means that you'd need an 8 foot spring. The exact spring needed would depend on exactly how heavy the door is. We offer a 250 lb spring as part # CB250D96SHD, a 230 lb spring as part #362SA8HD, a 150 lb spring as part # 362SW81 or a 120 lb spring as part # M354FR. Ideally, you'd want to choose a spring with a capacity a bit less than the actual...

  • Recommended Grease Caps for 2.33" OD Hub Bore
  • It sounds like you might be looking for bearing buddies type bearing covers like the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors - Model 2328SS - Stainless Steel (Pair) # BB2328SS, which are designed for 2.328" OD hub bores. These would be the closest available fit for your 2.33" measurement that you referred to and will do a great job of keeping dirt and water out of your hubs while also keeping the grease in. There are a couple of other options available that I've also linked to this answer that...

  • Recommended Anti-Sway Bar for 2006 Fleetwood Bounder Gas Engine on Ford F53 Chassis
  • I did a little bit of research and it looks like 2006 Fleetwood Bounder with a gas engine was built on a Ford F53 chassis like you mentioned, so the correct rear anti-sway bar for your rig with a GVWR of 20,500-lbs is the Roadmaster # RM-1139-143. It should be noted that the factory u-bolt may not be long enough for the factory nut, washer and 1/2" plate when used with this bar. If that is the case, if you have square top u-bolts will need # RM-590050-00, and if you have round top u-bolts...

  • Parts Required to Flat Tow 2016 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro Behind Motorhome
  • I have a solution for you to flat tow your 2016 Toyota Tundra TRD behind your motorhome, but unfortunately the curb weight of the vehicle is going to be more than any tow dolly we have available can handle, so that's not an option we can provide. A flat towing system consists of base plates and a compatible tow bar, tow bar wiring, safety cables, and a supplemental braking system and high/low adapter (as needed). For base plates I recommend using the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable...

  • Recommended Tail Lights for 2004 Toyota Tundra Flat Bed Conversion
  • I may have a solution for you, but there are not going to be vehicle specific plug and play lights for this application. I recommend using something like the Aero Pro Combination Trailer Tail Light # ST37RB (driver's side) and # ST36RB (passenger side), which are a 7-7/8" long x 3-1/4" tall incandescent multi-function light (Stop, Turn, Tail, Rear Clearance, Rear Reflex, Side Marker, Side Reflex). These lights can be spliced into your existing tail light wiring using some heat shrink butt...

  • Recommended Rear Camera System for 2021 Forest River 2516S
  • We've got just what you're looking for! Forest River trailers/campers are pre-wired for use with Furrion backup systems, so the Furrion # FOS43TASF system you were looking at would work just fine and provide you with a single camera to get mounted on the rear of your coach. This system has a 4.3" monitor a rear observation/backup camera is designed to turn on when your vehicle is put into reverse. There are also some other options available with bigger screens and more cameras to provide...

  • 15 Inch Wheel/Tire Combo and Hubcap
  • We do offer options to dress up a trailer wheel, but unfortunately we don't offer any wheel covers that would be compatible with the your wheel/tire combo. Your wheel lacks the nubs (for the lack of a better term) that a hub cap would grab onto. The closest thing we offer would be a wheel/tire using a conventional steel wheel like # AM32352 which could be used with a baby moon hubcap like # AM90086.

  • Recommended Storage Cover for 2008 Flagstaff 620ST
  • For a 20 foot long 2008 Flagstaff 620ST pop-up camper I recommend using the Classic Accessories Deluxe PolyPro III Heavy-Duty Pop-Up Camper Cover - 18' - 20' Long # CA80043, which is designed for pups that are 18-20 feet long. This will also work with the AC unit you've got on top of the trailer, so there's nothing to worry about in that respect. I really like this cover because it's made of a heavy duty polypropylene, which will help repel the elements including rain, snow and dust. I've...

  • Convert Curt Q20 5th Wheel Hitch From Stationary to Siding Hitch
  • I'd be happy to help you with that. You'll need the Curt R20 Round Tube Slider, part # C16550 to replace the stationary legs on your slider. If you don't already have a 7-way trailer connector in your truck bed so you don't have to run the trailer connector cable up over the tailgate, you can install one using part # C57008. I've linked to some product videos that you might find interesting.

  • Curt C51170 Spectrum Brake Controller Installation on 2020 GMC Canyon
  • The Curt # C51170 (or any brake controller, for that matter) isn't a vehicle-specific item. It'll work on just about any vehicle that has a standard hydraulic braking system. How you'd install the # C51170 Spectrum brake controller will depend on whether or not you have the factory 7-way trailer connector installed on the bumper. If you don't have the 7-way, you'll need part # HM11141144 which installs as shown in the linked video. The controller installs by wiring directly to the tow...

  • Which Roadmaster Crossbar Style Base Plates for 2014 Ford F-150 with EcoBoost
  • I have a solution for you, but the Roadmaster # 495-1A are not designed for any 2014 F-150's with EcoBoost. If your F-150 has EcoBoost then you'll want to use the # RM-524431-4 instead. These are compatible with Roadmaster tow bars.

  • Is Weight Distribution Still Necessary if RoadActive RAS3611-Y Active Suspension System Is Used
  • The very first thing I'd do is determine the tongue weight of your toy hauler when it's fully loaded as you'd normally have it when towing. You'll also want to include the weight of anything carried in the bed of the truck behind the rear axle in the tongue weight figure. I'll link to an article that explains how to definitively identify the as-towed tongue weight, but a tongue weight/payload scale like the etrailer #e99044 would be the easiest way. There's a possibility that the as-towed...
