Recommend Safety Chain Extensions For A 2017 Forest River Wildwood Heritage Glen 326RLS

Question

Question:

Greetings, our bumper pull RV is a 2017 Heritage Glen 326RLS. I’m trying to find the correct saftey chain extensions. The trailer weight is 8,200lbs. Most of the 8-12” cable sets are rated to 8,000lbs. Which is as a pair. I’m assuming I need over that capacity each, as the safety chains should handle the gvw individually. Do you carry extensions that have 9,000-12,000lb or 18-24k as pair capacity? The chain is 5/16”. Thanks. Dave

Expert Reply:

The safety chain extensions would just need to be capable of handling the weight of the trailer as a pair so for 8,200lbs you would be good to go with the ones like the Demco Safety Cable Extensions # DM9523064, which have a 14,000lb break-strength capacity.

Answer 1

If you were to remove a hook from #C19749 the chains would be shorter. The only way to remove a hook, other than cutting the chain, would be to bend the "eye" end (where the chain connects to the hook) so you could then slide the chain off…

If you want to just add on some sort of extension you can use Safety Chain Quick Link #C82932 which has a working load limit of 3300-lbs. This will give you about 3-inches additional length. Ideally trailer safety chains will be one continuous chain,…

I called and emailed JR Products multiple times with no response so instead of purchasing the Quick Links - 1/2" #37201345 I recommend going with the Curt Threaded Quick Link - 1/2" Diameter #C82932, which have a safe working weight load of…

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…

In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.

Answer 7

Load range B trailer tires are going to have a lower capacity than C load range tires. Basically that, psi rating, and the ply rating are the only differences. A higher load range tire would last a little longer than lower load ranges of the same…

Answer 8

Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety…

You can add larger wheels and tires to a trailer as long as you have enough room for the larger size. The main clearance issues we find when putting larger tires and wheels on a trailer is from the top of the tire to the fender and from the inside…

The three most common lug stud sizes for a trailer are 1/2"-20, 9/16"-18, and 5/8"-18. In order to make sure you get the correct lug nuts you need to measure the lug studs on the trailer now as we have no way to look this up for…

Answer 11

We have an aluminum 7 spoke 14 inch trailer wheel that looks pretty close to the wheel in the picture you sent us, but it's not an exact match. For that wheel you would want the part #AM22329. For a 205/75R14 you can use #AM10234 or tire #AM10229…

Answer 12

Tire designations ST205/75D14 and ST205/75R14 are both for special trailer tires with a 205mm width, 75-percent aspect ratio and that fit a 14-inch wheel. The difference between them is the tire's type of construction. The ST205/75D14 tire is a…
