• How Can I Make My Trailer Jack Stand Taller
• I have a solution for you, but the Valterra # A10-0900 is going to be the tallest jack stand that we have available. I recommend using one or two of the Stackers Leveling Block # A10-0917 under this jack stand to give you enough clearance to easily release the tension bars and remove them from your weight distribution hitch. You can also get a pack of 10 Stackers Leveling Blocks with part # A10-0918. Each Stacker Leveling Block will add 1-3/8" of lift to your jack stand.

• Recommended Solution to Patch A Hole Where An AC Was On an Older Thor Ambassador RV
• I recommend just using a patch kit like the Alpha Systems Patch Kit for SuperFlex RV Roof Membranes # AL57CV to cover the hole. Since you're planning on getting rid of your RV anyways this'll be the best, relatively inexpensive solution. This kit includes a 3' x 2' membrane patch which will be plenty big since the average roof vent is 14-1/4" x 14-1/4", along with some self-leveling sealant. This patch kit is grey, however we also have this available in white # AL37CV if that works better...

• Will Black MaxxAir II RV Roof Vent Block Light Better Than the Smoke Vent
• The Black MaxxAir II RV and Enclosed Trailer Roof Vent Cover # MA86JR is a solid black. I went out to our warehouse with a flashlight to see how much light would pass through. Other than the vented part no light came through at all. Now, my flashlight isn't quite as bright as the sun but I'm confident it will block considerably more light than the Smoke, # MA00-955003

• Can I Use the RoadActive RAS on my 2009 Toyota Tundra with a 4 Lift
• From a fitment standpoint, RAS # RAS34FR generally fits lifted trucks like your 2009 Toyota Tundra without an issue as long as this is a block style lift. An issue may arise if the lift block is fabricated in an odd shape that interferes with our axle connecting brackets, or if it's a complete suspension swap; if you've got a full on suspension lift with elongated springs or other adjustments to the suspension the RAS will not work for you. If you've got a suspension lift, I recommend...

• Everything Needed to Flat Tow a 1996 Suzuki Sidekick 2-Door Behind an RV
• If the crossover tube on your 1996 Suzuki Sidekick 2-door is open you will need to use base plates # 118-3. But you mentioned that it is open with a bracket welded on each side. If that bracket is not blocking the openings on the crossover tube then # 118-3 is correct. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. The 118-3 base plates have a part of the bracket that looks like a tube that needs to be inserted into that crossover tube. If the ends are blocked then you...

• Recommended Folding RV Handrail With Metal Mounts
• I would recommend The Stromberg Carlson Folding Handrail for Fleet RVs - Stainless Steel # AC-544. The folding hand rail secures in the open position with an unique locking mechanism. The hand rail can be folded against the wall and out of the way when not in use. The handrail has a heavy-duty stainless steel construction that will help resist rust and corrosion. The kit includes anodized aluminum mounting blocks and hardware. I attached a review video link below.

• Recommended Tires for 12,000 Pound Trailer on 15 Inch Rims
• I'm assuming you have a tandem axle trailer and therefore 4 wheels. The highest rated tires we carry for 15 inch rims is load range E with a capacity of 2,830 pounds. Multiplied by 4 that's 11,320 pounds which is a good amount for your 12,000 pound trailer. Keep in mind not all of the trailer's weight is on the axles and wheels. Approximately 20 percent is on the hitch and therefore riding on the rear axle of your truck. It's actually pretty normal for a trailer's tires to be rated...

• Wedge Needed For B&W Patriot 5TH Wheel Hitch Pulling Grand Design 5TH Wheel W/ Turning Point Pin Box
• Yes, you will need to use the Wedge Block # LC79UD for the Lippert Turning Point pin box on your Grand Design 5th wheel RV camper. This is a universal block that will fit into the funnel on the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3255 and prevent the pin box from pivoting on the king pin. Instead the pivot point will be back where the pin box mounts to the 5th wheel mounting plate. Do be sure remove the lock out bolts on the pin box before driving with the wedge installed.

• Are Spacers Needed When Installing an Airbag System in a 2010 Ford F-350 Lifted 1" in the Rear
• No, you will not need to use a spacer. Since the lift ended up being only 1" higher than the factory lift you will not need a spacer like the Lift Spacers for Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2366 when installing an airbag system like the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2550 in your truck. The # F2550 is the correct Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs for your 2010 Ford F-350. The Air Command Compressor System # F2610 will work with the # F2550 if you want a compressor...

• The Replacement Touch Pad Control Panel for Lippert Power Gear Hydraulic RV Leveling System # LC58CJ is the correct replacement for the Lippert Power Gear hydraulic RV leveling system (500105E) and will not work for your Thor Delano. The 175225 part number you mention actually corresponds with the Replacement Lippert Control Panel with Amp Connector for 4-Point Leveling System # LC175225.

• Lift Spacer for AirLift AL57272 Air Helper Springs for 2006 GMC Sierra w/ 6 Inch Rough Country Lift
• I spoke with my contact in the Tech Services department at Air Lift, and was told that if your lift is actually 6 inches, you would indeed need the 52465 angled spacers which we offer as part # AL79GV. My Air Lift representative suggested that you confirm that the lift in the rear IS actually 6 inches. Some trucks are equipped with a level lift, which raises the nose of the vehicle by 6 inches and the rear by 4. If that's what you have you'd need the # AL49GV spacer instead.

• Parts Needed For Scooter Trailer That Is Not Level When Towing Behind RV
• Part # RM-048-4 is not to be used with any kind of trailer; they are to be used with towbars to pull vehicles behind RVs. They are not built to support the tongue weight of a trailer. Even though the part states that it can hold up to 400 pounds tongue weight and your trailer is at 325 pounds it should not be used. When towing a trailer, when the trailer hits a bump and comes back down it will be exerting more than 325 pounds of downward force on the tongue. This does not happen with a...

• Availability of Auto Leveling Scissor Jack for a 2017 Keystone Passport Elite
• We do not currently offer any automatic leveling systems for you to use on your 2017 Keystone Passport Elite, however we do have another option. The Ultra-Fab Power Twin II # UF39-941705 is an electric stabilizer that uses dual motors for easier leveling than doing it by hand. It has a fairly universal design since it can fit on trailers and RVs that have frames which range from 48-80 inches wide. Another great feature is the extra-large footplates that are on the stabilizer. The stabilizer...

• Which Lippert Ground Control 3.0 System Is Recommended for a 37' Fifth Wheel
• Really you're going to need to measure the distance where the leveling system is going to be installed. If that distance is more than 20', then you're going to want the 6 point Lippert Ground Control 3.0 Electric 5th Wheel RV Leveling System w Touchpad and Remote # LC675817, if it's less than 20' then you'll want the 4 point Lippert Ground Control 3.0 Electric 5th Wheel RV Leveling System w Touchpad and Remote # LC358590. Since your trailer is 37' long, then I'd wager the 6 point system...
