  • Replacement Screen Door Bubble Slider Panel For A 1996 Fleetwood Southwind
  • I went out to the warehouse, and measured the Lippert Motor Home Entry Screen Door Bubble Slider Panel # LC234101 that you inquired about. This item, along with the Replacement Slide for P-Series RV Screen Doors # A77019 you mention, have the same thickness at 2.24mm, and the same depth of 1-1/4". Unfortunately, all of our slider panels are going to be around the same thickness of 1-1/4".

  • How To Power Small AC Household Electronics In A Van Without Using Solar Power Or A Generator
  • I recommend using a power inverter like the Power Inverter 1000 Watts with Three AC Receptacles # WC3720. What this will do is allow you to use your vehicle's electricity to use household appliances like the mini fridge, the box fan, and the LED lights you referenced. Realistically, you're going to need a sizeable battery bank to power all your electronics and run them on demand. My suggestion is to calculate how much energy is used in a day. Once calculated, follow the chart linked on...

  • Replacement Brackets for Westin Grille Guard on 1999 Dodge Durango
  • The only full Westin grille guard we carry for the 1999 Dodge Durango is part # 40-0145 and its replacement brackets are part # 40-014PK. If instead you just have the Safari light bar, part # 30-0005-1085 or # 30-0000-1085 then instead use part # 30-1085 for the brackets. If the guard you have doesn't appear to be any of these send me some pictures of it and I'll see if I can track down which model you have and its replacement brackets.

  • 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch to Fit with a B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch in a 2014 Ram 3500
  • The Demco Underbed Rail Kit # DM8551006 will not fit with the B&W Turnoverball, or any other gooseneck hitch, in your 2014 Ram 3500. To tow a fifth wheel trailer with the Turnoverball you can use the B&W Companion # BWRVK3400 which fits right into the gooseneck. They're specifically designed to work together. This is the sliding hitch which helps with turning clearance in a short bed truck like yours. I've linked a video of the Companion for you.

  • Which 5th Wheel Bed Rail Mounting Bracket for Demco Autoslide on 2013 Dodge Ram 2500
  • What brand of bed rails do you have? It's recommended to use bed rails and frame brackets from the same manufacturer. If you mix manufacturers of rails and brackets, it's possible to have an unknown weight capacity which isn't a good thing. If you have Curt bed rails, I'd use # CU96FR For Reese, use # RP56011 For Demco, use # DM8552015 B & W doesn't sell their brackets separately, they must be purchased with the bed rails. Their rail/bracket kit is part # BWRVK2605.

  • Trailer Brake Controller Installation in 2001 Dodge Ram Pickup
  • If your 2001 Ram has a brake controller connection port under the dash then it should also have wiring to the rear of the truck. This can often be tucked up above the spare tire. The wires may be blunt cut or there could be a connector with a cap but they should be tucked up above the spare. They may be zip-tied to other components to keep them safe. If there is indeed no wiring to rear of the truck then you can still install a trailer brake controller such as the Prodigy P2 # 90885 by...

  • Increasing Turning Clearance by Replacing a 1621 5th Wheel Trailer Pin Box
  • Extended pin boxes aren't designed to be a longer version of shorter pin boxes. They're just models that are longer. So when you're looking for a replacement for your Lippert 1621 pin box it's not as easy as just finding one that's longer. A replacement 1621 pin box is going to have the same dimensions as the factory 1621 you already have. I assume you're looking to extend the length in order to gain turning clearance between your truck and trailer. If this is the case your best option...

  • Part Needed to Protect Tow Vehicle Battery From Draining Overnight With Trailer Connected
  • You can use a solenoid like the Battery Isolation Solenoid # PK5231201 which will keep your trailer from draining your vehicle battery while connected. This will isolate your trailer battery from the tow vehicle battery so power only flows from the tow vehicle battery when you are using the vehicle. This is a great option to make sure you aren't stranded with a dead vehicle battery.
