  • How to Determine if a Trailer has a 13 inch Rim with a 4 on 4 inch Bolt Pattern
  • It sounds like you have a bolt pattern of 4 on 4 inch, but the dimension you listed is slightly off from what this bolt pattern is. What you will want to do is measure from one hole center straight across to the hole center opposite of it. If this dimension is right at 4 inches then you do have a 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern and all of the rims at the attached link will fit.

  • Adapter to Go from 6-Way Square on Tow Vehicle to 4-Way Flat Trailer Side Connector
  • It sound like you want the opposite of adapter # 30104. That would mean your tow vehicle has a 6-Way square connector. What you can do is use # 37995 which has both the vehicle end and trailer ends. On the trailer end, you can wire the loose wires to a vehicle side 4-Way, # HM48190. Then you will have a 6-Way square to 4-Way flat adapter. The other option is to just replace the 4-Way flat on the trailer with the trailer end 6-Way that comes with # 37995.

  • Why Would Lifting Trailer Suspension Potentially Void Trailer Warranty
  • When you lift a trailer you potentially change the suspension geometry which might affect handling characteristics. So based on that it sounds like Lance would want to void the warranty of the camper. It would be like installing a lift kit on a truck and then trying to have a suspension issue after that claimed as a warranty fix. That said, we've not had anyone install a lift on their trailer and then come back and tell us their trailer handled poorly.

  • Diode Wiring Solutions for a Flat Towing a 1991 Suzuki Samarai
  • From the research I did it looks like you have a separate tail light circuit. Which means your turn signals and brake lights are carried on separate circuits. The easiest way to install diodes on your setup would be to use 4 diodes and have it so that the tail lights of your 1991 Suzuki Samarai will operate as a combined circuit, so basically your current brake lights will perform the turn signal and brake light functions. Check out the picture I attached that shows how the 4 diodes of...

  • Can Convert a Ball Fifth Wheel Adapter be Locked
  • Your Convert-a-Ball 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter part # CAB-C5G can be locked with a padlock like our part # ML4140LH. You'd pass the shackle of the lock through the locking handle slot and out the hole in the foot of the coupler. This prevents the coupler from being opened, so it can be used while the trailer is hitched or when it's not. Either way, the lock will help deter theft by making it difficult to unlock the coupler.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1988 Suzuki Samurai Behind an RV
  • No, the Roadmaster adapter # RM-033 itself isn't base plates. It is an adapter that attaches to Roadmaster base plates and allows you to then use certain Blue Ox and Demco tow bars. For actual base plates for the 1988 Suzuki Samurai we have Roadmaster base plates # 1003-1 and Blue Ox base plates # BX3501. If you go with the Roadmaster base plates I recommend the Falcon 2 tow bar # RM-520. Or if you are looking for a more economical option I recommend the Tracker # RM-020. The Tracker costs...

  • Cover Recommendation for 1987 Suzuki Samurai and 2720 Trail Manor
  • You qukk need a car cover for your 1987 Suzuki Samurai but we do not carry car covers. When your 2720 Trail Manor is closed the length is 20 foot 3 inches so for a cover the Adco Tyvek All Climate Cover part # 290-12252 would fit and work well. This works great basically in all climates and is the correct size for your pop up as well.

  • Is It Okay for Tow Bar To Be Higher Off Ground If Level
  • The important thing is that the tow bar stays level, or more specifically stays within the "Safe Zone" which is 3 inches above or below level. As long as you are able to get the curved tow bar within this range with the height of the hitch ball on your RV the actual height is not a big deal. To do this you will most likely need a high-low adapter like the Roadmaster # RM-048-8 on the RV. I have attached a great article that explains exactly how to choose the correct one for your setup....
