Expert Answers about Trailer Cargo Organizers
- Can Other Totes Be Used with Yakima EXO GearLocker Enclosed Cargo Carrier
- Not necessarily. The GearTotes for Yakima EXO GearLocker # Y64VR measure 13" long x 17-1/2" wide x 9" tall and can carry up to 50 lbs of cargo so if you have some totes that meet these specs they will work just fine as well. Yakima just wanted to offer an easy and known solution for organizing cargo in the GearLocker # Y62VR.

- I have a solution for you, but the CargoSmart X-Track Cargo Organizer Pro Bundle # 3481788-P does not come with any backing plates, but you can add them with the E-Track Backing Plate # e96RR. You will need to drill new holes in this backing plate in order to make it compatible with the CargoSmart X-Tracks, but this is the only option we have available.
While there aren't any wheel straps like the Pro Grip # 317-18900 that fit in the E-Track rails, you can use the Erickson E-Track Tie-Down...

- The absolute best option would be to purchase a few sets of the CargoSmart X-Track Cargo Organizer Pro Bundle - Matte Black - Steel - 667 lbs - 5' Long # 3481788-P. Since it is most likely that you need more straps than tracks, I recommend more of the CargoSmart Ratchet Straps for E-Track or X-Track - 2" Wide x 12' Long - 1,000 lbs - Qty 2 # 3481935 depending on how secure you want your cargo. With this setup, you will have multiple mounting point locations on your trailer for safe transport....

- The Cargo Carrier Light Kit # 52014 is a good light kit but I you might consider looking at the Curt Auxiliary LED Indicator Lights # C53201 instead because they install by via adhesive instead of brackets and the lights have connectors that will be a little easier to disconnect.
When it comes to adding a 4-Way wiring to the back of your R-Pod I recommend using the Junction Box Kit # 3430001-JBK on the tongue of your trailer. This gives you the ability to cut and splice the original wiring...

7-Way RV Upgrade Kit - # ETBC7L
Curt No-Drill Bracket - # C57202
Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller - # 3430001
Junction Box and Installation Kit - # 3430001-JBK

- We don't have a full kit but it will be fairly easy to put together. You can start with a new 7-way like the Bargman # 50-67-106. This comes with 18' of cable which will cover your needs for the most part. I also recommend using a junction box like the # 38656 along with ring terminals # 44-5310A and # DW05702-1. This will help keep everything organized.
If you need additional wire to run to the lights you can use # DW02412-1 along with butt connectors # DW05744-10. If you need extra...

- If your Dexter torsion axle has a 5 bolt mounting pattern you can use the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 12" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 7K # 23-464-465. These are self adjusting brakes, so they're relatively easy to maintain once you've installed them. Since these assemblies don't come with mounting hardware you'll need to add it with part # BRKH12.
Since the trailer is not already wired for brakes you may also need some 10 gauge wiring # 10-1-1 and a 7 way trailer...

- For your 2018 Hyundai Tucson I recommend using the Curt # C13240 because Curt hitches have a little thicker powder coating on them, so they'll stand up to nicks and scratches better; this helps prolong the life of the hitch and help prevent corrosion. This hitch has a 2 inch receiver that's ideal for towing, and I recommend going with the 2 inch receiver over a 1-1/4".
You'll also need a wiring harness, ball mount, hitch ball and hitch pin to give you everything you need to tow a trailer....

- It sounds like you have an accessory like the B&W Custom Headache Rack # BWPUCP7500WA that requires your F-350's lighting signals to operate. Items like lighted hitch covers, headache racks and other aftermarket items with lights such as mud flaps will require the lighting signals found on a 4-pole trailer wiring harness.
You can very easily add a second wiring harness to a truck with a factory 7-way by installing Curt 4-pole kit # C55384. This harness has two round U.S. Car type connectors...

- You definitely can convert from using hydraulic brakes to electric brakes on your trailer. You'll need to lock out your surge brake actuator and then basically replace your hydraulic brake lines with 10 Gauge Wire # 10-1-1 (sold by the foot) to power your brakes with the brake controller. To complete the wiring you'll need Butt Connectors # DW05745-10 and a 7-Way connector for which I recommend the Junction Box # HS381-9000 to keep everything organized. Don't forget a breakaway kit like...

- We can absolutely help you find the parts you need for this!
If your current trailer only has a 4 way, you will need to start by adding a 7 way plug; I recommend using one with a junction box like the Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit w/ Junction Box and RV Style Connector # HS381-9000 to keep the wiring clean and organized.
You will need to remove the existing hubs in order to install the Dexter # 23-468-469. Once you've done this, you'll want to run the wires that went into the 4 way...

- Glad to help you tackle your wiring project. For the brake circuit of your trailer and your ground you will need 10 gauge wire like Item # 10-1-1 that we sell by the foot. For the rest of your wires, you will need 12 gauge wire like Item # 12-1-1 which we also sell by the foot.

view full answer... - Parts Needed to Add Electric Brakes to a Small Boat Trailer
- I recommend installing electric brakes as they are more cost-effective and easier to maintain. This does mean you'll need a brake controller in your tow vehicle as well as a brake mounting flange on your axle (if you don't have one, we have some available that you can have welded on but I'd need to know your axle diameter).
With a boat weight of 2,500 lbs I would imagine that you have a 3,500 lb axle so you should be able to just install the 10" Brake Kit # AKEBRK-35-SA and then use the...

- I recommend using the etrailer Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit w/ Junction Box and RV Style Connector # HS381-9000 to start off. This gives you a 7-Way connector and a clean and organized way to connect all of your wiring.
Then for the wiring for your lights I recommend using the Wishbone Style Wiring Harness # A25W2GWB. This is 25' long which will give you enough for the length of your 16' trailer plus some extra wiring to make sure you have enough to connect all of your lights. You...

- The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 is essentially a universal fit (like pretty much every other aftermarket brake controller) and while there isn't a plug and play connector, you can still install it by connecting the wiring from the pigtail to the following functions on your 1969 Chevy C10 pickup:
Blue - 7-Way Output to Trailer
Black - 12V Power

- First of all there isn't something specifically designed for this.
Your trailer is going to get extremely hot during the summer months. Using a fan like the # VP-543SP you mentioned is going to move air and cool the trailer when it's stationary but there isn't a way to determine how many fans you'll need or how well the fans will control the temperature for the sake of the bees.
In addition to the fans a vent like # HMAV2-AVT2 might be something to consider. These are often used on...

- It looks like you've got a Dexter D35 axle, which will have a spindle that uses # L44649 and # L68149 bearings, however this axle does not have a brake mounting flange, which will be required to add brakes to your trailer. You will need to have this welded on by a certified welder with the appropriate jig to make sure that the flange is mounted square and concentric; I recommend using the Brake Mounting Flange for 2-3/8" Round Axle # 4-35 for this and you will need 2 of these for a single...

- According to my research your Sure-Trac STW7212SA enclosed trailer has a 3,500 lb axle with a 4" drop. To add brakes to this axle you'll need to make sure that you have a brake mounting flange on your axle - the brake mounting flange will look like part # 4-35 and will be welded on right behind the spindle. If this is the case then I have everything you'll need to accomplish this listed below:

- There are a few different ways that you can get power to the LED utility lights on your trailer. The first would be to have a battery directly on your trailer that you could draw power from. This would be the easiest way to get power to your lights. To charge the battery you would need to use a charger like part # CTEK56353 when you have access to a standard wall outlet.
One of the perks to using this setup is that you can disconnect your tow vehicle and still use the lights when you need...
