  • Are the Brophy Scissor Steps # SS03 Easily Removed
  • You are correct. The Scissor Steps # SS03 that you referenced could easily be removed from the mounting bracket that gets attached to the RV or wherever you mount it. Basically you install the mounting bracket and then hook the stairs on the hook and then when you want to remove them you lift them off the hook.

  • Since the Brophy stake pocket mount tie downs, # TDSF, bolt into place, you would just need to un-bolt them from the truck to remove them for the season. It would be a good idea to then apply some sort of rust prevention where the hardware for the stake pockets was to prevent corrosion.

  • Can a Locking Anti-Rattle Device be Used with Brophy 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Extender # HE06
  • The shank on the Brophy 2 inch hitch extender # HE06, is hallow so you can use either anti-rattle device # 63232 or # SR25219. They work similarly. There is a threaded block that goes inside the shank and the threaded part pulls the shank close to the side of the receiver and then you lock it. I have included links to videos on both parts for you to view.

  • Ball Mount Recommendation for a 2008 Ford Explorer with Class II Trailer Hitch and Multiple Trailers
  • Since you are towing multiple trailers, they probably do not all have the same coupler height to tow them level. If that is the case than a fixed ball mount would not be the best choice. But if all the trailers do have the same coupler height then going with either ball mount # BM96 or # 36078 would be fine. The main difference between these 2 ball mounts is the rise and drop each offers. Ball mount # BM96 has a 5-1/2 inch rise or 6 inch drop. Ball mount # 36078 has a 4-3/4 inch drop and is n
