Expert Answers about Ford E-Series Cutaway


  • Recommended Weight Distribution System For 800-1100lb Tongue Weight Compatible With 8" Trailer Frame
  • I have another option for you, but since the frame on your trailer is 8" tall you will not be able to use an Equal-i-zer weight distribution hitch like the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control - 12,000 lbs GTW, 1,200 lbs TW # EQ37120ET as it can only accommodate frames up to 6" tall. Instead I recommend the Reese Weight Distribution w/out Shank - Trunnion Bar - 12,000 lbs GTW, 1,200 lbs TW # RP66022 with the Chain Hangers for Reese Weight Distribution Systems...

  • Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier For 2020 Ford E-350 Class C Motorhome
  • To use the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 with your 2020 Ford E-350 Class C spare tire you can use a wheel spacer mounted to the carrier to allow the wheel to fit on the mount with the tire reversed on the carrier. I have seen that the mount has been used with the dual tire mounted with the hub face toward the vehicle. On the Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195225 you can use a Roadmaster High-Low Adapter # RM-048-4 to raise the carrier higher to achieve the...

  • Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Spring for 2021 E-Series Cutaway
  • I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle, #F22ZR. These have 5,000-lb Capacity. Ride-Rite air springs enhance your factory suspension for safety and stability when you are hauling heavy loads. They reduce strain on your rear axle, keeping your Ford E-Series Cutaway level. While they do not raise your vehicle in any significant way above factory, they eliminate the sag caused by the weight. The air bags can be adjusted manually, side to side,...

  • Rear Suspension Enhancement Recommendation For 2021 Ford E-450 Cutaway Chassis
  • We do have an option to upgrade the support for the rear suspension on your 2021 Ford E-450 cutaway chassis, and the best option that will fit are SumoSprings: - SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs # SSR-106-47-1 The # SSR-106-47-1 have a 5,000 lb capacity and are going to improve the stability and handling of your E450. The reason for that is they engage as needed, and compress based on the amount of weight being transferred. So when you have a load in the cargo area, or when you...

  • E-Bike Rack Carrier Recommendation for Use at Rear of Motorhome
  • We do have one solution we can provide. None of the hitch bike racks we offer for E-bikes are rated for use behind RVs/trailers, but the Ultra Fab motorcycle carrier part # UF48-979033 is a motorcycle carrier which is rated for use behind RVs so it would be a great option although a bit overrated.

  • Rear Sway Bar Recommendation for RV Built on 2015 Ford E-450 Cutaway
  • For your 2015 RV built on a Ford E-450 cutaway chassis the best rear sway bar we offer is the part # RM-1139-147 which is a confirmed fit. The rear sway bars are the suspension modification that makes the best improvement in ride quality so I know this will work very well for you. To see the install process check out the install video I attached. A 17/32 inch size hole will need to be drilled. The torque specs are listed in the 7th step of the instructions that are attached in a link...

  • Hitch Bike Rack that Can be Used at Rear of Flat Towed Vehicle
  • I attached a link to a page that has all of the bike racks we offer that are rated for the rougher ride quality found at the rear of flat towed vehicles like your motorhome and Grand Cherokee. One of our more popular options is the Yakima Holdup platform rack # Y02443 which is a platform rack that only touches the bikes by the tires. Or for a hanging bike rack the Yakima Ridgeback part # Y02458 would be a great option as well.

  • How To Help Control Sway On a 2017 Thor Motorhome 22FE
  • The SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs that I recommend for your 2017 Thor Motorhome 22FE is part # SSF-106-47 for the front and part # SSR-106-47-1 for the rear. The SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs will absolutely help with sway as well as porpoising. There is also another option for you to help control sway as well, the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar part # RM-1139-117. These are the two most common upgrades on a motorhome to help with sway and other stability issues. In regards to trailer...

  • Inflation Kit Recommendation for 2022 Thor Four Winds Motorhome with Dual 16" Wheels
  • The Wheel Masters Airless 2-Hose Inflation Kit WM80092 you mentioned is designed for 16" wheels while the Wheel Masters 2-Hose Inflation Kit # WM8005 is for 22-1/2" wheels so the 80092 would be my recommendation if it wasn't a discontinued kit. Because of this I recommend checking out the Wheel Masters 2-Hose Inflation Kit # WM8002 which has the same type of design as the first two kits you were looking at. I'm also linking our selection of hose inflation kits that work with your 16"...

  • The correct steering stabilizer you need for your 2018 Quantom LF31 built on a Ford E-450 chassis is the Roadmaster Reflex part # RM-RBK24-RSSC which is a confirmed fit and will work well. I attached an install video for this kit for you to check out as well.

  • Recommended Floor Mats for 2017 Coachmen Freelander on Ford E-450 Chassis
  • Both the Husky Liners # HL33251 and WeatherTech All-Weather # WTW51 front floor mats are confirmed to fit the 2017 Ford E-450 chassis that your Coachmen Freelander is built on. These are custom mats that are specifically designed to fit the contours of the chassis and will work well. Between the two options I like the Husky Liners # HL33251 because of the raised containment walls that will do a great job of keeping messes from seeping over the edges and onto carpet. They also feature...

  • Recommended Rear Suspension Enhancement For 2021 Ford E-450 25 Class C Motorhome
  • For your 2021 Ford E-450 Super Duty 25' Class C Motorhome I highly recommend the SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SSR-106-47-1 as it offers 4600lbs of support to the rear suspension while also absorbing road shock and minimizing sway. If your Motorhome has dual rear wheels you will need to verify that you have at least 7" clearance between the inside edge of the tire and the frame. To get the best results I do also recommend # SSF-106-47 for the front suspension which...

  • Recommended Anti-Sway Bar for 2022 Ford E450 Series with V8 Engine
  • For your Class C motorhome on a 2022 Ford E-450 chassis, I recommend the highly rated Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar, # RM-1139-147. This is a 1-1/2" diameter anti-sway bar made from 4140 chromoly steel that replaces the factory bar. The effectiveness of the Roadmaster anti-sway bars is in the diameter and quality of the steel they are constructed from. Roadmaster claims that for every 1/8" increase in diameter there is roughly a 30% increase in torsional resistance (body roll). Their...

  • Availability of Replacement 7-Way that Also Has a 7-Way
  • You can replace your 7-way with a 7-way/4-way combo with the part # HM40950 and you'd have both covered. Both of the connectors would be active at the same time as well.

  • What Are the Correct SumoSprings for a 2017 Thor Axis 25.2
  • According to my research, your 2017 Thor Axis 25.2 is on a Ford E-450 Chassis which means the correct set of SumoSprings for you is part # SSF-106-47 for the front and part # SSR-130-54 for the rear. These two items will do an excellent job of improving the ride quality of your motorhome by helping to cushion both side to side and up and down movement which then in turn reduces sway and porpoising. In regards to stabilizers versus levelers, they will both offer support but the stabilizers...

  • Recommended Rear Suspension Enhancement For a 2023 Ford E-450 Class C Cutaway Chassis
  • I recommend installing the SumoSprings # SSR-106-47-1 on the rear of your 2023 Ford E-450 Class C cutaway chassis. In my experience I feel these are the best option as they cushion the suspension while the Timbren # TFERSD you found is much stiffer and I find creates a harsher ride. Even with you mentioning your front riding great you should still consider the Front # SSF-106-47 SumoSprings as they will help when you get on roads of lesser quality. If you notice a lot of body roll you...

  • Are There Stabilizer Jacks for an Aluminum Car Trailer
  • I do have an option for you but we don't really have anything specifically for this purpose and much of determining compatibility will be up to you. That said, I think your best option for stability would something like the Stallion Stabilizer Jacks part # 288-01892-2 which have a bracket height of 15-1/4" - 22-1/4". They also have a 1,000 lb max support capacity. Please note, these stabilizers are made of steel so if you want to attach them to aluminum then you'll need to use a barrier...

  • Best Way to Improve Ride Quality on 2018 Ford E-450 Motorhome
  • The ride in your 2018 Ford E-450 will be improved to a certain degree by the SumoSprings - Front Axle # SSF-106-40 and Rear Axle # SSR-130-47, but they will not give you a ride that is as cushioned as air bags. So for the main purpose of improving a ride that is stiff and jarring, I do recommend air bags over SumoSprings, with the best option being the Firestone Ride-Rite. The correct fit for these air bags on your '18 E-450 are the following: - Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs #...
