  • How To Choose Correct Replacement Leaf Springs for a 2003 Keystone Sprinter Travel Trailer
  • In order to find the correct replacement leaf spring for a trailer you first need to start by noting the type whether that be slipper or double eye. Then, you'll need to measure their unloaded length via jacking up the trailer. If the springs are worn they will measure longer than their replacement. Lastly, you will need to note the axle capacity which is found on the tag in the center of the beam. Please note, the number of leaves does not really denote capacity as leaves have different...

  • Recommended Replacement for Carrier Air V
  • We have a great solution available for you and yes, you can replace with a 15,000 Btu unit if you choose. Because the Carrier Air V RV Air Conditioner is no longer produced, I recommend using the Advent Air Replacement RV Air Conditioner for Carrier Setup, # ACCAR150 for 15,000 Btu's or # ACCAR135 for 13,5000 Btu's. These options are designed as direct replacements for the Carrier air conditioner units. The included adapter wiring kit ensures that the AC works seamlessly with your existing,...

  • Lippert SolidFold Steps for a 24-1/4 Inch Door Opening
  • For the Lippert SolidSteps you would want to go by the narrowest width measurement at the door opening. For you that seems to be 24-1/4 inches so your best option is # LC698799. Like you said, the SolidFold steps come in an 8 inch rise, so any modification to get to 6 inches would void the warranty as you mentioned.

  • Can You Add A Wire Harness To A Travel Trailer To Make It Tow Another Trailer.
  • You will have to use a universal fit wire harness like the Universal Wiring Harness w/ ModuLite and Brake Controller Harness - 7-Way Trailer Connector # 22551. This will only work if both trailers have LED lights. Also if your second trailer has electric brakes its going to be very hard to get power back to them to operate them. I also recommend checking local laws and regulations about towing doubles and making sure it is safe and accepted in the areas you will be in. The more length...

  • Recommended Travel Trailer Cover for 2019 Keystone Cougar 28RBS
  • Since Virginia gets all kinds of weather, I'd recommend an all-weather type cover like the Adco # 290-52275, which is good for travel trailers up to 33-1/2 feet in length. This cover will do a great job of protecting your investment from UV rays as well as dirt, dust and mildew. The cover also includes 4 tyre guards that will protect your tires from UV radiation which can shorten their life.

  • Best Trailer Hitch for a 2020 Ford Escape
  • The best trailer hitch for a 2020 Ford Escape is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C23FR. The Curt Hitch is an excellent option because it has a hidden cross-tube design which means you won't see the bulky cross tube hanging below the rear bumper which makes for the cleanest look. Furthermore, the installation process will be easier than other options taking only 20-40 minutes on average. If you will be towing then you'll also need a trailer wiring harness the T-One Vehicle Wiring...

  • Are Trailer Tires and Wheels Balanced
  • We do not balance our wheel and tire combos like the Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10" Galvanized Wheel # AM3H400 in general trailer wheels and tires are not balanced and even when they are done the weights typically fall off since trailer suspension is much rougher.

  • Recommended Replacement for Carrier Air Conditioning System
  • I recommend you replace your current Carrier air conditioner with the 15,000 Btu Advent Air Replacement RV Air Conditioner for Carrier Setup w/ Start Capacitor, # ACCAR150. This option is designed as a direct replacement for the Carrier air conditioner. The included adapter wiring kit ensures that the AC works seamlessly with your existing, in-good-working-order Carrier air distribution box and thermostat. This new unit also has a start capacitor that helps jumpstart the AC when camp...

  • Spare Tire Cover For 15" Wheel
  • Spare tire covers are sold by the diameter of the tire - not the wheel. For instance, a good choice for you would be the Adco # 290-9759 Tire Cover for 24" diameter tires. This will fit nicely for most 14" and 15" wheels. The description page has a long list of tire sizes that this cover will fit. Also, this cover will keep your spare in excellent condition. I have included a link to other 24" covers as well.

  • Can You Use An 18 Toothed Gear On Instead Of A 15 Toothed Gear On Your Slide Out
  • Thanks for checking in with this question, I have some information below: **Lippert Components 2.5 x 2.5 Heavy Duty RV Slide-Out Gear Pack - Steel Rollers # LC123356. I highly recommend going with the exact replacement and keeping the same gear tooth ratio. It may seem like an easy fix or a small matter but just adding one tooth may cause damage to your unit. The system is designed for 15 teeth and if you add more teeth or take some away it will cause the system to track wrong and cause...

  • Recommended Axle To Replace Older AL-KO 4400lb Axle # 402268
  • I have a replacement axle option for you, but based on the information I was able to find on your AL-KO 4400lb Axle # 402268 it uses an older style of braking assembly that was discontinued when AL-KO was bought out by Dexter. If the brakes on your trailer are unusable the only option is going to be to go ahead and replace the axle to one that uses modern braking assemblies. Since we do not have any 4400lb axles, I recommend using 5200lb axles as a replacement. We offer the Dexter Trailer...

  • Replacement Hub/Drum for 2003 Keystone Laredo
  • It is most likely a 3,500 lb axle as that is a very common axle but you'd have to verify that by measuring diameter of the axle. If it is a 2-3/8 inch diameter axle it is 3,500. For a 3,500 lb axle the correct hub/drum would be the part # 84546UC3.

  • What Type of Bulb Does Bargman RV Porch or Utility Light # 30-78-600 Take
  • The bulb type that the Bargman RV Porch or Utility Light # 30-78-600 you referenced takes is a 1003 which we have as an LED with part # AR50455. This is a soft white light that will last much longer than the included bulb.

  • Will Existing Thermostat and Distribution Box From Coleman Mach Work with Advent ACM150
  • We actually have an adapter that will allow you to use the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner part # ACM150 with your existing wall thermostat and distribution box, the Coleman Mach Adapter Wiring Kit part # ACCOLKIT which also makes for a plug-in play install. If you for some reason wanted to replace the distribution box and wall thermostat for the overhead unit you would just use the Air Distribution Box with Built-In Thermostat part # ACDB instead of the adapter kit. That said, I recommend...

  • Recommended Hubs And Brakes For A 2016 Keystone Cougar Xlite 28RLS
  • I can certainly point you in the right direction. For an electric bake assembly for your 2016 Keystone Cougar with a 4.4K axle I recommend the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit # K23-478-479. This comes with both a right and left hand side assembly. It is the 10" x 2-1/4" brake shoes, which is basically standard for a 4.4K axle. For a hub/drum I recommend the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-407-5UC3-EZ. This hub is made for a 4.4K axle and uses the Inner bearing # L68149...

  • Will Stromberg Carlson RV Exterior Ladder # LA-401 Install on 2018 Jayco Alante
  • The Stromberg Carlson RV Exterior Ladder # LA-401 referenced in your question has a universal design that should work great on your 2018 Jayco Alante. As you mentioned in your question though, you will just want to make sure there is sufficient backing on the RV where the brackets attach to ensure a secure connection. Unfortunately this is not information that we have available so if you are unsure your best option is to contact Jayco directly with your VIN and they should be able to tell...

  • How To Stop Tires From Hitting Bottom Of Fenders and Wearing
  • Generally speaking, there will need to be between 3-4" of clearance between the top of the tire and the bottom of the fender. In regards to how to fix this, I would rate new leaf springs first but only if they are worn which is causing the trailer to sag as aside from this you would not get much lift if at all. The best and easiest option would be to install the Tandem Axle Lift Kit part # RR23QX. The tires will also need replaced but you would most likely not be able to gain the needed...
