  • Parts Needed to Replace Wiring On Car Tow Dolly
  • The replacement needed will depend on which trailer connector your car dolly uses, a 4 pole or a 7-way. For a 4-pole, a standard trailer wiring harness like # HM48240 would work well for you. If the tow dolly has a 7-way connector on it with electric brakes, I'd go with something like # 277-000141 to provide the trailer connector and junction box. The junction box allows you a safe spot to make your connections that will keep moisture away from the wiring connections. You'd use a length...

  • Recommended Parts for Towing Camper Equipped With a 7-Way Connector With 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • I'd be happy to shed some light on that for you. Let's begin with a hitch, assuming you don't yet have one. I'd go with the Curt Class III # 13364 that you'd looked at. For a connector i would go with the Curt T-Connector # C56331 for the 4-way connector. And if your camper is equipped with brakes you will need a universal 7-way adapter # ETBC7. The Redarc Liberty # RED52VR is a great option. This particular kit comes with a universal wire harness. You'll also need a ball mount like...

  • Can Sensitive Electronics Like Computers Be Charged from Portable Generator

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 For Towing a 1961 Broken Arrow TeePee Trailer With a 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98854 for your 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan. This is a class III receiver which will accept a 2" ball mount.

I highly recommend using a Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0600. This hitch is rated for trailer up to 6,000lbs with a tongue weight of 250-600lbs. It will...
