  • Recommended Tire Covers for ST235/85R16 Tires
  • Your ST235/85R16 tire is 31.7 inches diameter, so I recommend the Adco Ultra Tyre Gard RV Wheel Covers - Single Axle - 30" to 32" # 290-3952 for a cover with a connector to hold it in place. If you want a cleaner and easier install the CoverCraft SnapRing TireSavers Tire Covers - 30" to 32" Diameter - Black Vinyl - Qty 2 # ST7002BK are a nice upgrade. If you have a spare tire, I recommend the Classic Accessories Universal Fit Spare Tire Cover - Large 30"- 33" Black # 052963753875.

  • What is the Best Way to Clean Classic Accessories RV Wheel Covers
  • I spoke with my contact at Classic Accessories and they said that the best way to clean the RV tire covers # 052963762808 is to use warm, clean water and NO soap. So a bucket filled with warm tap water and a sponge or soft cloth is the best way to clean the covers and make sure they are not damaged by harsh cleansers.

  • Recommended Tire Cover for 235/55R16 Tires on a 2019 Keystone Avalanche 383FL
  • I recommend going with Adco Tyre Gard covers that fit dual axles because they have proven to be some of the best tire covers out there and the dual axle cover design looks much cleaner than individual covers. For your 235/55R16 tires I recommend the covers that fit 27" - 29" tires which come in the following colors: White - # 290-3923 Diamond Plate - # 290-3723 Black - # 290-3933 Camo - # 290-3623 I have attached a review video for you to check out. You just need some bungee cords like...

  • The Best Wheel Cleaning Spray and Brush for RV and Trailer Wheels
  • To clean your Trailer Wheels you're going to want to use the Griot's Garage Wheel Cleaner for Vehicles and RVs item # 34910970. This cleaning spray loosens and breaks down light to moderate road grime on your vehicle's wheels. You will want to wait until your wheels are cool to the touch and then rinse each wheel before spraying it down with the cleaning spray. The wheel cleaner comes in a 22 fl oz spray bottle. I recommend using the Griot's Garage Wheel Cleaning Brush - Microfiber - 18"...

  • Brown Ring Around Sidewall and Vertical Indentation on Radial Trailer Tire
  • The good news is that neither of the browning nor the indentation were caused by anything you did or didn't do and that they're not as serious as you may think. The browning on your tire's sidewall is commonly referred to as "tire blooming", and it's a process that happens when the chemical used in the manufacturing process to prevent premature dry rot, pushes through the surface of the tire's sidewall. I recommend using a tire cleaner, like # 34911136 and a brush like # 38183-062 to add...

  • 14 Inch Wheel Suggestions for Boat Trailer
  • A 205/75-14 tire will fit a 14 inch rim that's 5, 5-1/2, 6 or 6-1/2 inches wide. I'd be happy to make a few recommendations for a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern wheel that's compatible with your tire size. On the more affordable end of the spectrum, the Taskmaster PVD black steel wheel, part # 460545MBPVD uses a PVD coating that's more durable than what you'd see on a galvanized wheel and is much more corrosion resistant than chrome. A good, middle priced option would be the Taskmaster...

  • Replacement Brake Shoes and Complete Brake Assemblies for Axle Tek 12 x 2-Inch Trailer Brakes
  • If you had an accidental grease leak within your trailer's hub/drums and the shoes were exposed to grease you will want to replace them. The brake shoe material has porosity that will let some of that wheel bearing grease work into the surface. It is not possible to completely clean this grease off. You can clean the drums but either the brake shoes or the entire brake assemblies should be replaced. I checked your ordering history and found that you have 12 x 2-inch Axle Tek brakes rated...

  • Replacement Wheels for a Vintage 1973 Prowler Travel Trailer
  • We do have some vintage 4-bolt wheels, see link, but the smallest is a 13 inch. It is hard to tell if they are split rims or not. The wheel in the picture does not look too bad at all. An over the counter steel cleaner from an auto parts store should do the trick. They may even have a specialty item for wheels. You are going to have to remove the tires and check the insides of the rim. A tire shop should be able to do that for you can can also clean the insides of the wheels and tell...

  • Is Kuat NV 2.0 BA22B-BA02B or Inno INH142 Tire Hold Better for 20 Inch Bikes
  • The Inno Tire Hold # INH142 4-bike rack will accommodate children't bikes with 20 inch wheels or adult bikes with up to 29 inch wheels. Inno tells me that a 33 inch wheelbase bike will just fit on the rack. The Kuat NV 2.0 4-bike, part # BA22B-BA02B does not have an adapter for kid's bikes. One huge feature offered by the NV 2.0 is the add-on feature. The rearmost 2-bike portion of the rack is removable, which is handy for when only two bikes need to be carried, and the fact that the rack...

  • Will Yakima SpareTime/Thule Spare Me Trunk Mount Bike Racks Allow Spare Tire Cover To Remain Off
  • As you can see in the provided photos, the tongue for the adapter plate for both racks extends past the face of the wheel which would unfortunately prevent the spare tire cover from being replaced. As for which to choose, I personally prefer the cleaner lines of the Yakima # Y02599 SpareRide 2, and the fact that it's a bit less expensive than the Spare Me # TH963PRO doesn't hurt either. Both racks also feature locking attachment knobs to secure the rack to the spare tire mount and a cable...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For Carrying a Thule Bike Rack On 2020 Jeep Cherokee
  • I recommend installing our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e73ZR on your 2020 Jeep Cherokee. This has a 2" opening allowing you to carry your Thule bike rack. I prefer this receiver as the matte black finish I feel gives a cleaner more factory appearance as it blends in best with the fascia paneling. I also recommend installing the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56406 with the receiver. This gives you a 4-way flat connector which will also allow you to use Auxiliary Lights...

  • Recommended Non-Abrasive Brush And Wheel Cleaner For Wheel Lug Nuts
  • All of the cartridges for the Counteract Stud Cleaning Tool for 1/2" Wheel Studs # CA97FR are going to use stainless steel bristles. That being said, there is not going to be any non-abrasive cartridges that's going to work with the Counteract Stud Cleaning Tool # CA97FR. What I suggest you use instead is try an use the Griot's Garage Bendable Wheel Cleaning Brush for Vehicles and RVs # 34915524 with the Griot's Garage Heavy Duty Wheel Cleaner for Vehicles and RVs # 34910973. This brush...

  • Availability of Cleaning Products for Travel Trailers
  • I recommend Voom all purpose RV cleaner # RM-9910. This cleaning product can tackle any mess. It can be used on rubber, painted surfaces, aluminum, screens, carpets and upholstery. It can even put the shine back on chrome-plated wheels. Voom is a petroleum-free, biodegradable, concentrated formula safe enough to use full strength and strong enough to work when diluted. For a 32 oz bottle you will want # RM-9911.

This fixed hitch has a cam-action latching handle that will help prevent binding. Even when on uneven terrain you will be able to unlock the handle and pull out from underneath the trailer.
