  • Helper Spring Options For A 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe
  • While there aren't suspension enhancement options available for your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe, if you use your vehicle for towing you could use a weight distribution system to level your setup. Firestone has suspension kits for previous years but there isn't one for 2017 models. A weight distribution system creates a level, stable ride when you tow a trailer. It will help keep your towing setup level and make sure the weight of your trailer doesn't cause undue stress on your vehicle. One...

  • Parts Needed to Switch Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System to Different Vehicle
  • You can switch your Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700 to a different vehicle - in your case a 2010 Chevy Equinox - simply with the Second Vehicle Kit for Roadmaster InvisiBrake Braking System # RM-98700. I have added a link to the installation instructions as well as a video review of this kit for you to take a look at.

  • Connecting Propane Grill and Griddle to Quick Disconnect on Trailer
  • If you're right about taking the regulator off of the Blackstone griddle then you can use part # 100476-120-MBS for a 10 foot hose that goes from the regulated quick disconnect on the trailer right to it. The Coleman on the other hand is more difficult than that since the regulator can't be removed and, as you know, you can't run the gas through two regulators. The only thing we have that'll do it is adding a Tee right at your tanks using part # 103613-MBS and then using the same 10 foot...

  • Towing Capacity and Parts Needed to Tow with 2015 Chevy Cruze Diesel
  • The best source for this type of information is going to be your vehicle's owners manual, especially since there is some conflicting information. From what I was able to find, the 2015 Chevy Cruze Diesel has a towing capacity of up to 1000-lbs, which may or may not be enough to tow a small camper. You can find out the dry weight of your camper by checking the spec sticker, which should be located somewhere on the trailer tongue or the body of the camper. I would also recommend consulting...

  • Recommended Locks for Yakima Streamline System Ridgeline Towers
  • I have good news for you! You don't need to get new towers to add locks to your roof rack; the Ridgeline towers accept locks from the Yakima SKS system but they're not included with the towers. You can use the Yakima SKS Lock Cores # Y07204 on your Yakima Ridgeline Towers # Y00145. The SKS Lock Cores come in a package of 4, so you'll have enough cores to add to each of your Ridgeline towers and keep everything secure using a single key. If you have more Yakima products that require cores...

  • Parts Needed to Adapt Yakima Roof Rack for a Ford Taurus X to a 2012 Ford Flex
  • To install a roof rack system on your 2012 Ford Flex, you will need a set of SkyLine Towers, # Y53TR, a set of RoudBar Adapters, # Y03536, and the landing pads, # Y00233. Along with a set of Yakima CrossBars. Yakima recommends 58 inch CrossBars, # Y00409. If your previous Taurus X used 58 inch CrossBars, my research shows it most likely does, then you would not need to purchase new CrossBars.

  • Parts Needed to Add a 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector on a Van
  • If the van has a 4-Way flat trailer connector then the only functions carried by the connector are left turn/brake light, right turn/brake light, running lights, and ground. In order to get reverse, you will need to install Adapter 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter, # 20036. The extra blue wire pictured will attach to a reverse light wire behind one of the tail lights. Or, since you have said your van has a 7 wire loom, a reverse light circuit may be found there. Use a circuit tester...

  • I can list all the parts you need in order to flat tow your 2001 Toyota RAV4, though you need to verify with your Toyota dealer that a 2001 RAV4 can be flat towed (I checked an online copy of the owner's manual, which did not specify).

  • How to Improve Access to Black and Gray Water Drain Valve
  • Thank you for the photo of the black/grey water drain valve on your Forest River Salem 31QBTS travel trailer. I see what you mean about this being well under the trailer and not located for convenient access. Sometimes the presence of slide out mechanisms or other RV features can limit the placement options for the waste valve. RV makers might choose to keep the drain well under the trailer to avoid a nasty problem were it to leak while you're driving. (Consider what would happen if a...

  • Can 2017 Kia Forte Sedan be Used to Tow 300 lbs - 500 lbs
  • If you are planning on towing 300 - 500 lbs then we do have the equipment for your 2017 Kia Forte but please note that in the online version of the owner's manual (page 5-91) it states that Kia does not recommend using your vehicle for trailer towing. So the decision to tow will be entirely up to you and you need to check all of the weight ratings but it might be worth looking into a different vehicle if you plan on towing often. With that being said, I recommend using the Curt Trailer...

  • Can 2013 GMC Terrain be Flat Towed and Parts Needed to Flat Tow
  • I took a look at an online version of the owner's manual of your 2013 GMC Terrain and on page 10-71 it states that "front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive vehicles may be dinghy towed from the front" which means you can flat tow your '13 Terrain with front-wheel drive. I recommend verifying this in your copy of the owner's manual and also going over the steps you need to take in order to do this. There are a number of parts needed in order to flat tow your 2013 GMC Terrain, which I'll list...

  • Master Cylinder to Convert Titan Surge-o-Matic Model 6 Actuator to Disc Brake Operation
  • You are correct that disc brakes require an actuator with higher psi pressure than what is required by drum brakes. Drum brakes need pressure of 1000-psi but discs need 1500 to 1600-psi. You can convert your Titan Surge-O-Matic Model 6 actuator to disc brake operation by replacing the master cylinder with part # T1777405. This kit includes the master cylinder, mounting plate, hex bolt, push rod assembly and installation hardware. If your brakes locked up this should not be due to the lower-pressure...

  • Rear Axle Air Springs for 2013 Ford F-150 FX4 Super Crew
  • A rear axle air spring kit will help offset the sag you're experiencing in your lifted FX4 when you tow. You will most likely need a 6-inch spacer to install the AirLift kit # AL57200 you referenced but you can refer to the linked diagram to confirm. For a 6-inch spacer use # F2375. I strongly recommend you also use a compressor with your install, part # AL25592. Without an on-board compressor it is tough to find the air pressure sweet spot for your towing load. You have to pull over and...

  • How to Have 7-Way Connectors at the Rear Bumper and in Bed for a 1996 Ford F-350
  • If you have a fully functioning 7-Way in the bed of your 1995 Ford F-350 then you should be able to simply use a tee connector like the Curt # C56000 to tee into the US Car Connector behind the 7-Way for your gooseneck. You can use the attached picture and a circuit tester # PTW2993 to make sure you have all of the functions. You will need to use the manual override from your brake controller to make sure that the brake controller is sending power back to the 7-Way. It is possible that...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2005 Jeep Wrangler with D-Rings on Smittybilt Front Bumper
  • The front bumper on your 2005 Jeep Wrangler does resemble the Smittybilt XRC. If that is what you have then you actually won't need a base plate kit as you can use D-Ring adapters to flat tow your Wrangler. We have verified this with Smittybilt in the past. What you will need is either the Roadmaster 1" D-Ring Bumper Mounts # RM-035-1 or the 3/4" D-Ring Bumper Mounts # RM-035 and then a compatible tow bar like the Falcon 2 # RM-520. If you don't already have safety cables then I recommend...
