  • Lift Kit that Fits 2021 Airstream Flying Cloud 27FB
  • From what I was able to determine from some research, the 2023 Airstream Globetrotter 27FB does have a #11 Torflex axle on it, so the Dexter # K71-724-02 is the correct lift kit for your trailer. This is a 2-7/8 inch lift kit.

  • Will the Lippert Manual Pull-Out Step LC432687 fit 2015 Airstream Flying Cloud 25’
  • The Lippert RV steps part # LC432687 are designed to fit as many RV applications as possible but you'd need to measure the current bolt holes to know if they will work or not. The mounting holes of this are 26-1/4 inches apart on top. Or if your current brackets are outrigger style that attach to the side of the steps these are overall 27-1/2 inches apart.

  • Recommended Light Switch Safe to Use In Wet and Cold Climates For Storage Area Hatch On Boat
  • I recommend using the Magnetic Door Sensor # LC374198 for your custom boat project. These sensors are safe to be used in wet conditions and being magnetic will allow you to place the wired sensor on either the door or frame where you plan to mount the light. You will then be able to place the magnet side on the other side. This switch provides a open circuit when magnets are together and closed circuit when they separate so it will turn the lights on when you open the storage area hatch. The...

  • Recommended Powered Vent With Electric Lift And Rain Sensors
  • The Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan - Manual Lift - 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" # FV802250 is a nice fan, but there is a powered lift fan available. I recommend the Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Remote - Powered Lift - 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" # FV807350 as a direct replacement. This is thermostat-controlled and has rain sensors to automatically close for rain or snow. Another thermostat controlled unit without the remote is the Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Thermostat - Powered...

  • 15 Wheel Upgrade For A 2020 Lance Travel Trailer Model 2375
  • The most common 15" camper wheel we see is a 5 on 4-1/2" pattern but if that is not your applicable bolt pattern, I would be happy to make a new recommendation. I like the Westlake ST205/75R15 Radial Tire w 15" Lynx Aluminum Wheel # LHAW320. These Load range D tires have a speed rating of L with maximum speed at 75mph. Maximum load is 2,150 lbs at 65 psi. These come with a 5 year warranty on the tire and 1 year on the wheel. Included is a video resource and a listing of all our trailer...

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for Trailer that Weighs 3,000 lbs
  • If the weight of your trailer is over 50 percent of the total trailer weight capacity for your vehicle then a weight distribution system is recommended. For a 3,000 lb trailer you tongue weight would most likely be between 300 and 450 lbs so for a WD system the part # RP66082 would be best option as it has tongue weight range of 200-600 lb and features only sway control to work to prevent sway before it starts. For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.

  • Would Adding 6-8 inches of Length to Ball Mount of Ram 2500 Towing Trailer Cause Issues
  • Adding 6-8 inches to the length of the ball mount setup of the vehicle would not cause any issues. Especially for as heavy duty of a vehicle you have with your 2021 Ram 2500 and the relatively lightweight trailer you have compared to the capacity of your tow vehicle.

  • Recommended 12" x 2" Self-Adjusting Brake Assemblies With 5 Bolt Brake Flange Pattern
  • The Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 12" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 5.2K to 7K # AKEBRK-7-SA is exactly what you are looking for. These brake assemblies fit a 12" x 2" drum and have a 5 bolt mounting flange pattern. They are self-adjusting brakes that work for 5,200-7,000 lb axles. Nothing needs to be done as far as the installation is concerned when switching from manual-adjust to self-adjust. You will need to "break them in" just like you would any new brakes. The...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Brake Controller on 2011 Ford F-150 that Doesnt Work
  • First easy thing to check is for corrosion or dirt on the output pin of your 7-way. Try cleaning the pin in the 5:00 position on your truck and the matching pin on your trailer. Next check the fuse under the hood of your truck for the brake controller. Testing the brake controller is fairly easy. Sever the blue brake output wire near the brake controller leaving enough room to reconnect it and then apply the manual slide. Using a circuit tester like part # PTW2993, you should get output...

  • What Brakes and Grease Seals do You Recommend for My 2021 Airstream Bambi 19CB?
  • I went ahead and confirmed with Airstream that you your specific model of Bambi could have a 3500 pound axle or a higher capacity which is where some of the confusion may arise. Since you already have the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Assembly - 12" # 23-459 installed, this tells me that you have the higher capacity axles and not the 3500 pound axles. 3500-pound brakes are 10-inches in diameter while the higher capacity brakes are 12 inches in diameter (which you need). For...

  • Can I Increase the Tongue Weight Capacity of a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited
  • I do have a possible solution for you but the most well equipped 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 350 lbs therefore, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT78MR will not increase your tongue weight capacity. However, most of the time you can use a weight distribution system like the Reese Weight Distribution System w Shank part # RP66540 with the Chain Hangers for Reese Weight Distribution Systems part # RP58305 to increase your tongue...

  • Best Adco Cover for an Airstream Flying Cloud 27FB
  • The Airstream Flying Cloud 27FB measures 28' long but we need to subtract 3' for the tongue therefore we're looking at a cover for a 25' trailer. For this, the best option we offer is the Adco Olefin HD RV Cover for Travel Trailers part # AD77ZR. This cover has an olefin top panel that works to protect all the roof seals from uv rays, keeping out leaks zippered panels for entry, and weighted straps for an easier install. It's also all backed by a leading three year warranty.

  • How To Carry Two Generators On an Airstream Trailer
  • I do have an option but the AirStream trailers don't use standard 4" x 4" bumpers so in order to use a cargo carrier you'd have to install a trailer hitch, I recommend the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs part # 13703. The 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier part # e98874 could then be used for two generators no problem such as the Champion Dual Fuel Inverter Generators w/ Parallel Kit - 7,000 Running Watts # CH49FR (place exhaust facing outward).

  • Weight Distribution System With Sway Control For 4,500lb Travel Trailer
  • For your 2007 Airstream Safari Travel Trailer, I would go with the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # C17499. This has a tongue weight range of 500-800lbs and max towing weight of 8,000lbs. Since your travel trailer has an approximate weight of 4,460lbs and tongue weight of roughly 650lbs, this hitch will handle it well. This setup includes the shank that fits into a 2" receiver hitch. Make sure that your towing vehicle has a receiver hitch capable of pulling this...

  • Recommended Lift Kit for 1990 Airstream Excella Trailer
  • Based on my research, it does look like your Airstream Excella trailer is equipped with the Dexter Torflex axles. I do also recommend verifying this by contacting Airstream directly with your trailer's VIN to be sure of what was installed at the factory. Based on the 4,000 pound rating for your trailer axles, the correct Torflex Lift Kit should be the Dexter # K71-707-02. This lift kit is designed specifically for tandem #10 Torflex axles with 2,300 to 4,000 pound capacities. This will...
