  • Curt Bumper Mounted Receiver Part # E-100 for Towing Small Boat Behind RV
  • The Curt bumper mounted receiver part # E-100 will serve that purpose. The receiver itself provides a 3500 lb towing/ 350 lb tongue weight capacity. This assumes that the 4 inch bumper on your RV has sufficient capacity to safely tow the towing/tongue weight of your boat and trailer. I would recommend checking with the RV manufacturer regarding the capacity of the bumper if it is not mentioned in the owners manual.

  • Can Curt RV Bumper 2-Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-100 Tow a 14-Foot Aluminum Boat
  • The Curt specialty hitch you referenced, # E-100, will fit a 4-inch square RV bumper and offers a maximum tongue weight capacity of 350-lbs and a maximum gross trailer weight capacity of 3500-lbs. If your boat and trailer's tongue and gross weights are within these limits then the hitch will be up to the task. The other thing you need to check is the Rustler's manual to see if it indicates any restrictions for the bumper itself for use with a bolt-on hitch. The bumper itself as well as...

  • Recommendations On Dock Bumpers For A Wahoo Aluminum Boat Dock
  • The Jif Marine Dock Bumper - 23-1/2" Long x 10-1/4" Tall x 1-1/4" Thick - Black Plastic # JIF57VR are a universal fit and will be the exact same as what came on your Wahoo Aluminum Boat Dock. They're made out of a marine-grade plastic that is durable and UV resistant. If you want a flush mount you would also need The Jif Marine Dock Corner Bumper - 18" Long x 10-1/2" Tall - Black Plastic # JIF24VR. The hardware is not included with either parts. I will attach a review link video below.

  • Can Air Bags Be Filled With Boat Trailer Attached on 2014 Toyota Tundra
  • Air bags like the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers # AL88299 can certainly be filled with your boat and boat trailer attached. When setting the air pressure, it is best to load everything and then inflate the air bags to the point where your vehicle is level again.

  • Can Curt RV Bumper 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver Tow a Boat
  • There are multiple years of this boat, and I'm not sure what trailer you have, but so long as your 5th wheel trailer's bumper is rated to tow for at least the amount of combined weight of your Nitro and trailer, and so long as that boat and trailer is no more than 3,500 lbs with a 350 lb tongue weight it can be towed with the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-100.

  • Can Curt 2-Inch RV Bumper Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-100 Mount to camper to Tow Boat Trailer
  • The Curt 2-Inch RV Bumper Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-100 has enough capacity for towing a 3500-lb trailer load like your 17-foot jon boat. It will mount to a 4-inch square channel bumper using the included hardware. You will want to check with your camper manufacturer to verify that your particular camper model has the bumper and frame strength to allow towing a trailer with a GTW of around 3000-3500-lbs. Both the camper's bumper and the frame structure have to be sufficiently strong to...

  • Hitch Recommendation for an RV Bumper to Tow a 2,000 lb Boat
  • The Curt Hitch part # E-100 has the capacity to tow a 2,000 lb boat as it has a 3,500 lb capacity. As long as the capacity of your RV bumper is at least 2,000 lbs you should be good to go. I attached a review video for this hitch for you to check out as well.

  • Possible Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Jayco 5th Wheel
  • For your camper a better solution for a hitch would be a multi-fit frame mounted hitch like the part # 13703 as the dimensions of your bumper are not compatible with any of the bumper mounts we carry. The # 13703 will fit frame widths that are from 22 to 72 inches in width.

  • Troubleshooting Wiring Issue With Boat Trailer And Slide In Truck Camper
  • It sounds like the 7-Way # A7WCB on your new boat trailer is hooked up incorrectly. Since The Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness # C56000 only tee's into the existing wiring this is the only logical explanation. You will need to check the wiring on the boat trailer and either correct the wiring at the 7-way or the junction box on the trailer. If all the wiring is in the correct space you will then need to check the wiring for any shorts that would cause the wiring to back feed...

  • Is the Redline Pre-Drilled Round Rubber Bumper D3-96 Made of Soft or Hard Rubber
  • I went to our warehouse to personally handle the Redline Pre-Drilled Round Rubber Bumpers # D3-96 for you so I could advise you on their stiffness. These bumpers are quite firm. When I applied my palm to the bumper and leaned as much of my body weight as I could onto it, there was almost no compression at all. So this is by no means a soft or squishy product. I would say it is perfectly suitable to use in a boat slip to prevent hull damage or for similar applications.

  • Best Spare Tire Carriers for a Boat Trailer and a Camper
  • The best bumper mount spare tire carrier for your camper is going to be the Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier for Trailers and RVs - Bumper Mount item # UF15-954730.

  • Can I Tow a Bass Boat With the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver on a 2016 Porsche Macan
  • As long as your 2016 Porsche Macan is not a GTS model, you can use the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit - Custom Fit - 2" # SH84FRT to tow your bass boat. You will need this version of the stealth hitch because the other model is just for bike racks or cargo carriers. Your 2016 Porsche Macan has a towing capacity of 4409 lbs and the stealth hitches have a 600 lb maximum tongue weight and 6000 lb maximum trailer weight. With your trailer and boat at 3200 lbs...

  • Providing More Clearance Between 2001 Explorer and 14 Foot Boat Its Towing
  • If you're towing the boat using a trailer ball installed directly into a hole on the bumper, and you're wanting to get more room between the trailer and the vehicle, a good alternative would be to install a frame mounted hitch like the Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Receiver Hitch, part # 70647. If you needed more extension, you could use a longer ball mount, like part # 80233. You'd also need the appropriately sized trailer ball, like # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or # 63845 for a 2 inch...

  • Ball Mount Recommendation for an RV Where 12 inches of Drop are Needed to Tow Boat Trailer
  • The Cushioned Ball Mount # AMSC12 that you referenced would be perfect for you all things considered. It has the drop you need (12 inches), the length you need (12-1/2 inches from pin hole to ball hole). This should not reduce the hitch capacity of your RV at all. Since your boat and trailer weigh considerably less than the capacity of the hitch you would not have to worry about that. If the weight of your boat and trailer were right at your hitch capacity it would be one thing, but you...

  • Recommended Suspension Helper Springs for 2021 Chevy Tahoe Towing Large Aluminum Boat
  • Since you're towing a consistent load, I'd recommend a jounce bumper replacement-type system versus an air helper spring. Such a system won't affect your ride quality unless the rear suspension of your Tahoe is compressed from hauling cargo or the tongue weight of a trailer. I'd recommend the Sumo Springs # SSR-204-40 which will provide up to 1000 lbs of additional support. The way a jounce bumper spring replacement works is that they won't have any influence on the ride of the vehicle...

  • Can the Taylor Made Dock Wheel Bumper Be Mounted On Bottom of Dock
  • I reached out to Taylor made and although you can mount the Taylor Made Dock Wheel Bumper # 3691072 on the top of your dock, you cannot mount it upside down on the bottom. Instead, I recommend using the Taylor Made Low-Profile Boat Guide Wheel for 1-1/2" Diameter Dock Pipes - PVC # 3691214. This guide wheel installs on 1-1/2" dock pipes and can be stacked to accommodate larger boats if need be.

  • Will Taylor Made Foam Dock Bumper 36946011 Stabilize Floating Dock
  • A foam dock bumper such as the Taylor Made Foam Dock Bumper - Edge Mount - 36" Long x 5" Tall x 3-1/4" Thick # 36946011 you asked about will do a wonderful job of protecting your boat from your floating dock, but it isn't going to do much, if anything at all, in regards to stabilizing it. The best way to do that is going to be with some type of anchor system instead. The bumper will be a nice addition to your dock to keep your boat in great shape though, and is simple to install with its...

  • How to Determine if a Camper Trailer Can Tow a Small Boat Trailer
  • Most likely you would be fine since it looks like you have a solid square bumper that is welded to your trailer frame, but you really would need to contact the trailer manufacturer to determine if your trailer is rated for towing and what it's towing capacities would be. You also will need to check the local DOT in your area to make sure you can tow two trailers.
