  • Finding Where to Connect Air Lines to Motorhome to Install SMI Air Force One
  • When installing the SMI Air Force One Supplemental Braking System For Motor Homes with Air Brakes # SM99243 you will need to find the supply air line and the metered air line on the motorhome. On the Monoco Knight 34foot Road master chassis 2003 model the larger 5/8 inch line is the supply air line, and the smaller 3/8 inch line below the supply air line is the metered air line. See attached picture to see them pointed out. It sounds like what you found so far is not the service relay...

  • Brake Controller Installation on 2015 Chevy Traverse Using OEM Brake Controller Pigtail
  • The factory brake controller pigtail would indeed plug in to the connector located under the dash, near the emergency brake pedal. I've shown you a photo of where the plug is located. The factory pigtail would wire up to the pigtail included with the brake controller, the pigtail should be labeled to indicate which wire serves which function. The blue brake controller pigtail carries the output voltage from the controller to the trailer brakes. The black wire is the power supply to the...

  • Could Trailer Breakaway Kit Use Trailer's Winch Battery
  • The battery requirements for breakaway kits essentially are that in the event of a disconnection of the switch the brakes will hold for a specific amount of time. I am sure the battery you have now that also powers a winch would have no problem with that but if you were to drain the battery by using the winch and then in an emergency scenario need to use the breakaway kit you'd be in trouble. That's why it's smart to have a separate battery for the breakaway kits. I attached a help article...

  • Lippert Solid Step for 24" Doorway
  • Since your narrowest entry width is 24", and your entry height is between 22" to 28", the best fitting Lippert Solid Step is part # LC713662. If your measurements are different you can pick the part number from the table below. Once you have these awesome steps you can get rid of the old rattlers and install a MORryde # MR43RR locking storage box. This box is great for tools, or roadside emergency supplies, or even black water hoses and parts that you do not want mixed in with other storage!

  • How to Make the Airline Connections on the SMI Supplemental Braking System Part # SM99243
  • There are two airlines that must be spliced into on the coach which will then run to the air tank assembly included with the SMI Air Force One Supplemental Braking System part # SM99243. One of these lines is for supply-air and the other is for metered-air. The supply-air line is a 5/8" diameter hose (usually green but not always) which goes from the service relay valve to the braking air tank (see first photo). Once you find this line you will need to cut it in half and install the supplied...

  • Should Professional Electrician Help Install etrailer Generators for Home Power Backup
  • I definitely recommend having a professional electrician come out and give advice on how to use and install a generator kit like the 6,000-Watt Portable RV Inverter Generators # 333-0003-2-0007 as an emergency power supply in the event of a power outage. To determine whether these will be powerful enough for your setup you'll need to check what the different wattage needs are of the equipment you plan on hooking up to this and then making sure that it doesn't exceed the 6,000 watts surge...

  • Location of Factory Brake Controller Port on a 2011 Honda Ridgeline
  • If your 2011 Honda Ridgeline has the factory tow package with the factory 7-Way connector, then you will plug the Tekonsha Brake Controller Wiring Harness, part # 3070-P into the brake controller port which is located under the dashboard, to the left of the steering column. It will be taped to another wiring harness near the brake pedal. I am including a picture of the factory brake controller plug location under the dash on your 2011 Honda Ridgeline.

  • Installing Demco Coach Air Kit SM99627 And Locating Air Hose Connections On A 2018 Newmar Dutch Star
  • To install the Coach Air Kit # SM99627, you will first need to locate the supply hose. The supply air hose is usually green. It will be running from the service relay valve to the braking air tank. The line will be either 1/2" or 5/8" in diameter. I believe I see the green line in your picture so if you can just verify what the line is going to and the diameter of the line you should be able to determine which one is the supply hose. Do not confuse this hose with the treadle-valve hose...

  • Testing Trailer Brakes By Providing 12V Current Directly to Wiring
  • Yes, by providing 12v power directly to the brake wiring and grounding the circuit the brakes if properly adjusted and in good working condition will lock up. This is what happens if you were to pull the emergency brake away cable on your trailer brakes connection. I do caution you to be careful as if there is something wrong with the wiring it could cause further issues with supplying direct current. I have linked an article below that will go into the steps of testing the amperage going...

  • Can Breakaway Kit Pull Power Off of Regular 12V Trailer Battery
  • You have to have a breakaway battery kit like the Curt # C52028 for the breakaway brake function on your trailer. This is one of the things that the highway patrol will actually check for to make sure that you are pulling your trailer safely. The reason it has to be a dedicated battery is because the breakaway battery is used as a last resort in an emergency situation so the battery HAS to be fully charged. If you were to use the same battery for your breakaway kit and other things then...

  • Does the Indicator on the MB Sturgis Auto Changeover Regulator Turn Red When on the 2nd Bottle
  • No, the Sturgi-Warn indicator on the MB Sturgis High Capacity Two-Stage Auto Changeover Regulator # 888001-MBS is not going to show green when on the in service bottle and red when it switches over. The Sturgi-Warn indicator is more of a fuel gauge, rather than an empty indicator. As long as there is propane flowing through the regulator, then it will give you a reading. It does not differentiate between the two sperate bottles. Also, you can read the gauge from both the top and the side....

  • Where To Find Bearing, Grease Seal, & Race Information For Replacement Parts
  • The bearing, race, and grease seal information can be easily be found by removing any wheel from your trailer and taking down the part numbers from the inner and outer bearings to determine the correct replacement parts for your spindles. I've shown this in the attached image so you can get a better visualization. From here you should be able to find the corresponding replacement parts needed. Additionally, to get your lug and bolt pattern information you are going to want to measure...

  • Locking Hitch Pin for a Reese Eclipse 4 Bike Trailer Hitch Receiver Rack
  • For the DISCONTINUED Reese Eclipse 63124 that you have, I recommend a hitch lock, part # C23519. This will be the appropriate size for your pin. We have also fit the 1-1/4 version, part # 5200 that has a slightly smaller receiver in the lock. You will just need to discard (Or hang onto for emergencies) the included hitch pin.

  • Testing Trailer Brake Magnets With Full 12V Power Supplied Using the Brake Controller Override
  • In order to deliver full 12 volt power to your brakes while performing a pull test you can also use the override functions on your brake controller. This will avoid installing any switches, or disturbing any of the existing functional wiring. Switches can be forgotten, and additional connection points or unnecessary splices of the breakaway system can lead to problems like corrosion down the road. To use the override function on your brake controller you would turn the power of the brake...

This tough polyethylene storage unit fits the 2008 Tundra double cab (trucks without the under-seat audio system subwoofer) and matches the vehicle interior. Mounting hardware is included. Thanks to its adjustable cargo divider panels this unit can be configured for other contents apart from hunting gear. The panels allow you to choose...

  • Recommendations for Brake Controller Mounting Location on a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty
  • Mounting the brake controller in an accessible location is necessary so that if there is a situation where you need to apply the trailer brakes without pressing the truck brakes or if the connection to the truck brake circuit is lost you can use the trailer brakes in an emergency. The brake controller also needs to be securely mounted if it is proportional because the power supplied to the trailer brakes works off of inertia. If the controller is loose the proper amount of stopping force...
