  • Parts Needed to Add Trailer Brakes to 1998 Coleman Pop Up Trailer

You just need to make sure that your current bearings are # L68149 and # L44649 plus verify that your grease seal has an inner diameter of 1.719".

  • Parts Needed to Add 7 Way Trailer Connector to 2010 Chrysler Town and Country
  • Since you already have a 4 way flat on your 2010 Chrysler Town and Country, to add a 7 way connector you'll need to use the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat - 10 Gauge Wires # ETBC7. This gives you all of the parts you'll need to install a 7 way on your 2010 Chrysler Town and Country and allow you to tow a trailer with brakes. If you don't already have a brake controller, I recommend using the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller...

  • 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness to Fit a 2015 Chrysler Town and Country
  • To tow a trailer with your 2015 Chrysler Town and Country I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56331. It's a 4-way wiring connector to power the trailer's lights and it plugs in behind the van's tail lights. You also need to run a hot wire from the harness to the van's battery and insert the included fuse. I've linked the install details and a video from when we installed it. If you also need a trailer hitch reciver I recommend the Draw-Tite, part # 75579, that's...

  • Equipment Needed to Tow Riverside Retro 165 Travel Trailer With 2016 Chrysler Town & Country
  • Don't worry, we can help you with this! Anytime the trailer's fully loaded weight is greater than half the weight of the vehicle towing it, we recommend using weight distribution. Since a 2016 Chrysler T&C weighs about 4700 lbs, I would advise using a weight distribution hitch. A weight distributing hitch will increase the capacity of the hitch, but NOT that of the vehicle. In your case, you'll still be limited to the 3600 lb towing capacity of the vehicle, regardless of whether or not...

  • Parts Needed to Add 7-Way Trailer Connector for Brake Controller on 2001 Chrysler Town and Country
  • We have just about everything you are going to need packaged in one kit. Take a look at the 4 and 7-Way installation kit # ETBC7. This kit is going to provide a 7-Way (the existing 4-Way will just plug into the 4-Way receptacle on the adapter) and it comes with all the wiring and circuit breakers you will need to wire in the brake controller. The only other parts you will need are a circuit tester like # PTW2993 unless you already have one, the wiring harness for the controller, # 20127,...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1999 Chrysler Town and Country Van
  • Flat towing a vehicle behind a motor home requires five basic components that are outlined in the linked article: tow bar, wiring/lighting kit, safety cables, base plates on the towed car and a supplementary braking system. Some vehicles are flat-towable without much preparation but others will require you to go through specific steps (detailed in the car owner's manual) to make them ready for flat towing. Some cars may need a transmission lube pump or driveline disconnect. I checked for...

  • Bolts Needed to Install a Hitch on a 2011 Chrysler Town and Country
  • It looks like the hitches for the 2011 Chrysler Town and Country use the bolts that are already drilled into the vehicle. I've linked to a video installation of the Draw-Tite Hitch, part # 75579, so you can see how it works. As for the size of the bolts, looking at the installation instructions for this hitch (also linked below), it looks like they are a mix of M12 and M10 bolts. You can find these at your local hardware store.

  • Parts Needed to Install Electric Brakes On 1995 Coleman Destiny Royale Trailer
  • To make sure that you get the correct parts, I would need to know the inner and outer bearing numbers stamped into the metal of the bearings. There are different 5 lug bolt patterns. Use the FAQ I have linked to measure for bolt pattern so you can get the correct hub and drum assemblies. If you do not have EZ Lube axles, you will not need EZ lube hub and drum assemblies. If you do have L44649 inner and outer bearings and the seal has a 1.987 outer diameter and 1.5 inch inner diameter,...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2007 Chrysler Town and Country with Stow-N-Go Seats
  • I recommend using the Curt # 13389 because of the quality of the powder coat on the Curt hitches compared to some of the other available hitches. This is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver and is a confirmed fit on the 2007 Chrysler Town and Country models with the Stow-N-Go seats. If you're going to be towing a small trailer with this hitch, you'll also need a wiring harness, ball mount and hitch ball. For a wiring harness I recommend using the Tekonsha T-One # 118300 because of the...

  • Parts Needed to Add 7-Way Connector and Install Brake Controller on 2011 Chrysler Town and Country
  • Thank you for you support of etrailer.com! Since you already have the Curt wiring harness installed on your 2011 Chrysler Town and Country, to set your vehicle up to control your trailer's electric brakes you will only need a trailer brake controller, like the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 that you referenced, and the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7. The Installation Kit # ETBC7 includes a 7-Way and 4-Way vehicle-side trailer connector that will allow you...

  • If your 2016 Chrysler Town and Country already has a 4-pole flat trailer connector installed (at the factory or by the dealer) then installation of the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller # 90885 will require only the # ETBC7 installation kit along with the controller. The linked video shows the complete install process in a similar vehicle and references the air bag at the 17:45 mark. An install article for the kit is linked as well.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2016 Chrysler Town and Country
  • For the installation of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13364 on your 2016 Chrysler Town and Country you will be reusing the bolt already in place that hold on the bumper. So you will not need to acquire any bolts unless they are missing or become damaged during removal. If you are going to be hauling a trailer or adding on a carrier that might interfere with the visibility of your tail lights then I recommend installing a 4-way plug. The Curt Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56331 will give...

  • How to Flat Tow a 2000 Chrysler Town and Country Behind a Motor Home
  • According to my research your 2000 Chrysler Town and Country can be flat towed with all 4 wheels on the ground as long as you use a transmission lube pump from Remco Industries. We sell everything else you would need except for the lube pump. First you will need base plates # 242-2. Then, for a compatible tow bar, you can use the Falcon 2 # RM-520. I have linked a video of this tow bar for you. You will also need safety cables # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep them off of the ground. For...

  • Parts Needed For Installing a Trailer Brake Controller On 2013 Chrysler Town and Country With 4-Way
  • As it sounds like you have a Curt Trailer Connector Adapter # C57672 on your 2013 Chrysler Town and Country you will need the Wiring Kit # 5506. This will contain the wiring, connectors and circuit breakers needed to power a brake controller as well as the charge line for the trailer breakaway battery. I recommend using the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED52VR. This brake controller uses a small dash mounted control knob to give it a clean look. The main unit will be hidden...

  • Parts Needed to Install Tekonsha Prodigy P2 or P3 on 2008 Chrysler Town & Country
  • You can't go wrong with either of the brake controllers you mentioned. The main difference between the controllers is how user-friendly the display is. The Prodigy # 90885 P2 uses an digital display that will display error codes in the event of any problems with the trailer's braking system. The Prodigy # 90195 P3 has a more user friendly display, which will actually spell out any problems, rather than an error code that you'll need to go look up. To install the brake controller, you'll...

  • Those are some extremely old tires. We recommend changing them every 6 years or so regardless of tread wear. The metric size for your 20.5 x 8 - 10 tires is 205/65-10. Our most popular tire in this size is # AM1HP54. It has a load range D and max capacity of 1,330 pounds at 70 psi.
