  • Will the Ultra-Fab Deluxe Electric Landing Gear Set Fit a Keystone Montana 5th Wheel
  • I do have an option but the landing gear hangers on the Keystone Montana are not standard and they will not match up with the Ultra-Fab Deluxe Electric Landing Gear Set part # UF17-943010. If you wanted to use the Ultra-Fab Deluxe Electric Landing Gear Set you would need to weld new hangers on. The other option we have for you would be to install a lead leg in place of the follow leg, the Replacement Lead Leg for Keystone Montana 5th Wheel Landing Gear part # LC178653 as this would then...

  • How To Install a Weight Distribution System On An Airstream Basecamp X
  • Yes, you can use a weight distribution system on the Airstream Basecamp X and I do recommend this if the loaded weight of the trailer will be over half of that of the vehicle which is the general rule we use. I believe the compatibility issues you were seeing has to do with the short tongue and interference from the propane tank cover but I have a way around this. I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System part # FA92-00-0600 with the 2" Hitch Ball part # EQ91-00-6080. The...

  • Recommended 12 Inch Wheels and Tires for 2007 Stinger Motorcycle Trailer
  • The first thing you will need to do is find the bolt pattern on your trailer wheels. From what I have found, you have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern on your current wheels, but you will want to confirm this. The other thing you are going to need to do is check your clearance. It looks like this trailer has fenders that will need to be removed if you add a 12" tire because of the height difference. You will also want to make sure that you have at least 2" of clearance between the tire and frame...

  • 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.

  • Determining Correct Weight Distribution Hitch For Travel Trailer W/ UVW of 4422lb and GVWR of 6600lb
  • The correct weight distribution hitch for your 2018 Airstream Basecamp Travel Trailer weighing 4422lbs with a GVWR of 6600lbs is going to depend on the total tongue weight of your setup. Total tongue weight is the tongue weight of your fully loaded and ready to tow trailer plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. The tongue weight you mentioned of 367lbs is likely the unloaded tongue weight. The easiest way to get an accurate tongue weight measurement is...

  • Demco Coupler that Fits 2-5/16 inch Hitch Ball and 3 inch Frame Channel
  • Demco has a similar coupler for 3 inch wide channel that fits the 2-5/16 inch hitch balls with the part # DM13203-52 but the part # DM12925 that you referenced only fits the 2 inch hitch balls. The # DM13203-52 has an easier to use latch mechanism as well. Nothing in the ball size you want from Demco has the trigger latch like the coupler you mentioned.

  • 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...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for a Airstream Basecamp 20
  • The weight distribution system I recommend for an Airstream Basecamp 20 is the Strait-Line Weight Distribution System part # RP66082 which is one of the best options on the market. It also has a higher rated sway control system which you might see a use for in certain situations such as windy open stretches of road or large gusts of wind from passing semi's. It will require the Chain Hangers for Reese Weight Distribution Systems part # RP58305 due to the cluttered frame rails.
