Expert Answers about Dodge Grand Caravan


  • Mounting Bracket Needed for 4-Pole Connector
  • The Tow Ready Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat # 18144 is what you are looking for. It will hold the 4-Pole connector next to your trailer hitch receiver. All you will have to do is drill mounting holes into your hitch. If you would rather not drill into your hitch you can install the mounting bracket on a No-Drill Bracket. You can use part # 18140 for the shorter one or part # C57202 for the longer one. This will help to make the wiring harness and connector look much more clean. I have...

  • Parts Needed to Tow with a 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • To tow with your 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan you need a trailer hitch, trailer wiring, and a ball mount kit. The trailer hitch that I recommend for your application is the etrailer.com # E98854. This features a 2" receiver and gives you the best ground clearance/bumper clearance which is beneficial if you end up using accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier. If you plan on towing a smaller trailer without brakes, then I recommend using the Curt # C56331 which gives you a 4-Way connector...

  • Can Sensitive Electronics Like Computers Be Charged from Portable Generator
  • AC surge/spike suppressors vary in the level of protection they provide and in their connectivity options. Some will include a voltage regulator along with the spike suppressor. Using one along with a suitable charger is the best way to protect delicate electronic devices like computers and smartphones. DC-source power charging is less risky since the battery power source is more stable than AC power. This device is ideal for charging phones and computers from your RV battery since it...

  • Parts Needed to Connect 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan with 4-Way Trailer Connector to Trailer With 6-Way
  • The best way to install a 6-way connector on the rear of your 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan is to use # ETBC6. This uses your existing 4-way and provides a 6-way and all the necessary wiring to power your trailer's brakes. The only thing it doesn't include is an electric brake controller. If you need a brake controller as well I suggest the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 # 90885 because of its reliability and ease of use. It's one of our top selling brake controllers. I've attached a video of the...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2012 to 2014 Ford Focus Behind a Motor Home with Falcon 2 Tow Bar
  • To use the Roadmaster Falcon 2 tow bar # RM-520 with Blue Ox base plates # BX2633 you will need to use adapter # RM-031. In addition to the base plates, tow bar, and the adapter, you will also need safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. For safety cables, if you do not have some already, I recommend # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For lighting the easiest solution is to use a magnetic kit such as # RM-2120. Also, for the 2012-2014 Ford...

  • Parts Needed for Installing a Derale # D13503 Transmission Cooler on 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan 3.3L
  • To install the Derale Transmission Cooler # D13503 on your 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan you will also need one # D13035 adapter, which is sold separately from the # D13503 kit. This fitting will take the new Derale hose and adapt it to fit into your factory transmission cooler.

  • Rise or Drop of Ball Mount Needed for 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • There is no specific 'best' rise or length of ball mount for a given vehicle. Since the hitch and coupler height of every vehicle and every trailer is different, you'll need to take some measurements. To determine the rise/drop of ball mount needed, you'd want to measure the distance from the inside top of the hitch receiver tube to the ground. Then with the trailer level, measure the distance from the underside of the trailer coupler to the ground. The difference between the measurements...

  • Best Way to Provide Power to Electric Trailer Tongue Jack
  • In a typical RV-style 7-way the 12V charge circuit is carried on the pin at the 1-o-clock position as you look at the socket from the rear of the vehicle. Please refer to the linked photo. The 12V feed from a vehicle 7-way can deliver just enough trickle-charge current to maintain a strong battery while you're on the road, but it is not the best way to power a trailer jack. The best way to power a trailer-mounted 12V tongue jack, like the Stromberg Carlson # SC63VR, is to install a dedicated...

  • Replacement Lock for Rockwood Premier Pop-Up Camper
  • We may have a solution available for you though we do not have a list of individual parts for specific trailers. However, you will likely find something that works, such as the Global Link RV Entry Door Locking Latch Kit # 295-000019, which is a replacement for a Global Link, Bauer, Lippert Components, Fastec (FIC), or TriMark standard entry door latch.

  • Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with a 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • To tow a trailer you need a hitch receiver, ball mount, and hitch ball to hook up the trailer, as well as a wiring harness to power the trailer's lights.

It's a 2 inch receiver which has a higher capacity than the smaller 1-1/4 inch receivers. To go along with it I recommend our ball mount kit,...
