• Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 With 5-1/2 Foot Bed
• The best gooseneck hitch for your 2013 Ram 1500 with a 5-1/2 foot bed is the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Custom Installation Kit # BWGNRK1309. The Turnoverball hitch is the best because it has a square base for its hitch ball which ensures optimal strength and durability. What that means is the ball isn't going to turn when you are driving, keeping the connection to your gooseneck coupler totally secure and stable. The square base of the hitch, along with its...

• Recommended Tee for 7-Way On 2018 Ford F-150 To Plug In Light Bar
• The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C55384 will plug into the back of the 7-way and then will provide a 4-way trailer connection point for a light bar all while still allowing the 7-way to remain fully functional.

• Recommended Air Compressor Kit with Tank for Firestone Air Bags On 2020 GMC Sierra 3500
• The Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Air Helper Springs part # F2709 are an excellent option for a 2020 GMC Sierra 3500. In order to control the airbags from the vehicle without the need to find an external air source you'll need to add an on-board compressor. The air compressor kits can also come with a tank which means you can store air so you don't have to wait for the air compressor and you can also use this stored air for other things such as airing up tires. The Air Command II Compressor...

• Is and Adjustable Ball Mount a Good Idea for a 2020 Subaru Ascent
• Adjustable ball mounts like the B and W Tow n Stow part # BWTS10037B are really convenient and a great option for someone who plans on towing different trailers. You get one ball mount that can do several rise and drops as well as the flexibility of two ball sizes so it covers a lot of ground. While this is overkill in terms of capacity for your 2020 Subaru Ascent it's a really great choice for anyone who tows. Also there's no real downside to having more weight capacity than needed.

• Fifth Wheel Hitch Solution for 2006 Dodge Ram with Flat Bed
• So flat bed trucks can tow fifth wheel trailers but you first want to make sure that your flat bed is not longer than a standard truck bed. Reason being the overhangs of fifth wheel trailers are designed for the bed lengths of standard bed trucks so a longer bed would cause interference. So if that checks out you'd need a lower profile hitch since flat beds sit higher. For that you'd want the B and W Companion Flat Bed Hitch part # BWRVK3050 and the install hitch/rail kit part # BWGNRK1500.

• 4-Bike Rack Recommendation for Rear of Travel Trailer
• At the back of trailers the ride quality is much rougher than at the rear of vehicles due to the increased distance between the rear axle and the rear of the vehicle and the much less sophisticated suspension. It's not the way the rack attaches to the rear of the vehicle so much as it is the harshness that ends up stressing the rack too much. That is why you'd have to look into a different 4 bike rack for your travel trailer and not the XTC4 you mentioned. There are no platform racks...

• Which Air Bag Kit Fits 2003 Ford F-250 and is Compatible with Reese Fifth Wheel Rail Kit
• Firestone makes an air bag kit part # F2550 that fits your 2003 Ford F-250 and is compatible with the universal Reese fifth wheel rail kit part # RP30035 and hitch # RP30047 but the Air Lift kit you mentioned does not fit with an in-bed hitch. The Firestone bags are made of a higher ply rating and overall are higher quality so they are the way to go.

• Which Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System for 2020 Winnebago Micro Minnie 2306BHS
• Since your GVWR is 7,000 lbs that would indicate most likely your tongue weight is going to be between 600-800 lb which would put you between two weight distribution systems but most likely the # BXW1000 would be your best bet as it has a 700-1,000 lb tongue weight range. Now if you were going to come in on the lighter end of the spectrum the # BXW0750 would be the better choice as it has a range of 550 lbs to 750 lbs. Keep in mind that any cargo weight behind the rear axle of your tow...

• Solution for Using Rock Tamers Without Having Ball Platform Hanging Out of the Receiver
• I have a good solution but when using the Rock Tamers Heavy-Duty, Adjustable Mud Flap System for 2" Hitches part # ERT00108 there is not an option that doesn't attach to the ball mount. My thought for you to get the benefits of the Rock Tamers without busting your shins on a ball mount is to use the Curt Pintle Hook Mounting Plate for 2" Hitches part # C48343. This will allow you to mount your Rock Tamers and with it's rounded edges will hug back to them leaving you with a nice flat surface...

• Could Progressive Dynamics Mighty Mini AC/DC Panel be Used to Charge Battery from Tow Vehicle
• The Progressive Dynamics Mighty Mini AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger # PD4045KA that you referenced only accepts AC power to then convert to a 12 volt charge for your batteries. You could bypass this and run a charge line from your 7-way to the vehicle battery pretty easily though. This would give you a maintenance charge for it as you are travelling.

• Parts Needed to Convert Carefree Manual Awning to Electric
• I spoke with my contact at Lippert and she said that their manual to electric conversion kits like the Solera # LC329250 that you were looking at are only compatible with Solera manual systems so unfortunately it won't work with your Carefree setup. In order to install an electric awning on your trailer you will need a complete hardware kit. For a 69 inch long system you can use the Solera 12V Kit # LC434724 in White or # LC434723 for Black. I have attached a short video demonstration...

• Multi Kayak Carrier for 2019 Subaru Outback
• I recommend the Thule Stacker multi-kayak carrier # TH830 since it can handle up to 4 kayaks. It will fit on just about any type of roof rack crossbar -round, square, elliptical and your Subaru factory bars too- as long as they are at least 24-inches apart which is important for stability. This carrier can be used for kayaks up to 10-feet long. If your kayaks are not compatible please tell me a bit about them so I can suggest a suitable alternative. Another similar carrier is the Rhino-Rack...

• Ladder Rack and Tonneau Cover Combination for 2018 Ford F-150 Short Box for Kayak Transport
• Thank you for all the details on your desired setup. In my opinion nothing compares to the combination of the TracRac SR adjustable ladder rack and BAK Revolver hard tonneau cover. Both of these are outstanding products and they are fully compatible with each other on your F-150 short box. The USA-made TracRac SR sliding ladder rack # TH43002XT-508 has a 1250-lb weight rating and includes adjustable load stops. This rack gives you the wide crossbar stance and weight capacity you need...

• Availability of 20k Adjustable Ball Mount that Can Adapt to Pintle Hook
• Since there isn't a pintle adapter for the Fastway adjustable ball mount part # FA49-00-5625 that has a 20k capacity your best option that's similar is the Curt Adjustable Ball Mount # C45902 which also has a 20k capacity. To convert this to a pintle you'd need the # C45922.

• Easily Removable Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Setup for 2019 Honda Pilot
• If you are having OEM flush roof side rails installed on your 2019 Pilot you can use any profile of aftermarket crossbar (round, square, aero or elliptical) since the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier # MPG114MD fits any bar shape. By the way their Telos Load Assist # MPG351XL measures just under 59-inches long when retracted. All roof racks for this flush rail configuration are shown on the linked page. Roof racks for the flush rail setup are not really intended for repeated installation...

• Converting Triax 5th Wheel Trailer with 7k Dexter Axles to Disc Brakes
• We have the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit part # K2HR712D which is the correct hub/rotor set for the 7k axles on your trailer. You'd need 3 of these for your trailer and then an electric over hydraulic actuator like the # HBA16 you mentioned. I would actually recommend the # HBA16-252-82 though as it comes with the breakaway kit plus enough lines for two of your axles. For the third axle you'd then want the part # 9579-01.

• Recommended Winch for Front of 2004 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 with Draw-Tite Front Hitch
• The Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65041 is rated for up to 9,000 lbs line pull but you can honestly use whatever size winch you want to for your 2004 Toyota Tacoma. As long as you don't exceed the weight rating of the front mount hitch/winch you are good to go. For your application the 9,500 lb Bulldog Winch Standard Series Off-Road Winch # BDW10042 is a great option because it is rated slightly higher than your front mount hitch (so you get the most out of that weight...
