• Will the Tekonsha Plug-In Adapter # 3021-P work on a 2012 Ram 1500
  
• As long as you have a factory 7-way at the rear of your 2012 Ram 1500 the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3021-P that you referenced would be the correct product for you. If you do not have a trailer connector you will first need to start with a 4-way. For that I recommend the Draw Tite Hardwire kit # 119175KIT. Next you will need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way. For that I recommend the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions an

• Should Tekonsha P3 Brake Controller # 90195 Be Reprogrammed to Install in 2012 Dodge Ram 1500
  
• Your Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 will only cause you to re-program your 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 Big Horn if you had a factory brake controller installed and then added the P3 later. The OEM controller would have to be turned off by re-programming the computer. If your truck did not have a factory controller and has a factory 7-Way, you will have no problem.

• 5th Airborne Sidewinder for Fifth Wheel Towed by 2012 Dodge Ram Quad Cab
  
• If your Ram has the 5-1/2 foot bed, the Sidewinder would be your only alternative to possibly gain enough clearance for sharp turns. To determine if you will be able to make 90 degree turns while using the Sidewinder, take a look at the clearance formula on the Sidewinder FAQ page I have linked you to. You will need to measure the distance between your hitch jaw and the rear of your cab. Add 22 inches (length of Sidewinder arm) to this measurement. From this sum, subtract half the width of the t

• Will the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar Help Reduce Sway on a 2012 Ram 1500
  
• Yes, the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1129-135 that you referenced will help reduce sway and help stabilize the vehicle, especially with the other suspension components that you are also upgrading. However, a properly loaded trailer is the best defense against trailer sway. You will want to make sure you have as much weight as far forward on the trailer as possible. Another option you have to fight sway is a weight distribution system. Weight distribution systems do what their name

• What is the Weight Capacity of the Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate
  
• The weight capacity of the Stromberg-Carlson 5th wheel tailgate # VGD-10-100 is 300 pounds. It is possible that if you have a smaller cart it will weigh under this limit. You will want to have the lightest end of the cart on the tailgate if it must be on it at all. I have included a link to a video showing a typical installation for you.

• How Wide are the Westin Sure Grip Running Boards for a 2012 Ram 1500
  
• I spoke to my contact at Westin and he told me that the best way for you to figure out how far out the Westin Sure-Grip Running Boards # 27-6650-1905 will stick beyond the sides of your vehicle would be to measure inches out from the very bottom of your rocker panels. These running boards are 6 inches wide and install at the bottom of your rocker panel, so measuring out 6 inches from the rocker panel will tell you exactly where they will be.

• Parts Needed to Install a Brake Controller on a 2012 Dodge Ram 1500
  
• If you have 7-way trailer connector at the rear of your vehicle you can simply plug a Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3021-P in under your dash in the plug you found and you would be ready to install a Tekonsha brake controller like the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller # 90885. If you have a 4-way at the rear of your vehicle you will also need a Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole # 37185. You will plug your 4-way into this adapter and then you would run a length of 10 gauge wire like our part # 10-1-1 fro

• Weight Distribution System for a 2012 Dodge 4x4 5.7L Towing a 4500 lb Travel Trailer
  
• The important factor to consider when choosing a weight distribution system is the loaded tongue weight of your towing setup. The loaded tongue weight includes the loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of your trailer plus the weight of any cargo that is loaded in your truck bed behind the rear axle. Once you find the loaded tongue weight of your setup, you will want to choose a weight distribution system with a tongue weight range that encompasses your loaded tongue weight. I have attached

• Does it Matter Which Wire on a Trailer Brake Magnet is Ground and Which is Power
  
• First, I do not recommend doing any experiments until you know where all the wires are going and what the functions are. On a brake magnet, there is normally a set of wires, one for power and one for ground. It does not matter which wire does what. The ground wire should be attached nearby to a bare metal surface. All of the brake power wires will attach to the brake output wire from the trailer connector. There is no front and rear or left and right. All the brake power wires go to the same

• How to Remove the Fifth Wheel Hitch Head
  
• I assume you are wanting to remove the fifth wheel hitch from the base rails that are bolted to your truck bed. The hitch legs should only be held on to the rails using 4 pins and clips (See Photo). Once you remove those 4 pins and clips, lift up on the hitch and it should come out of the slot in the rails. If the hitch has become wedged in the rails, it may take some persuasion to lift the hitch. I recommend having someone help and make sure you are both lifting straight up. If you are lift

• Recommended Tonneau Cover for 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 Short Bed
  
• For your 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 Short Bed truck, I recommend the Truxedo Tonneau Cover # TX547901. Featuring automatic tension control, it rolls up in seconds to store conveniently behind your cab and can be installed in approximately 20 minutes with only a socket and a ratchet. Your chrome bed rails will not be affected as there is plenty of room to install this tonneau and maintain the clearance from your rails. I have included instructions to the proper installation of this product. You may a

• Will the Ultra-Fab Power Twin II Electric Stabilizer Fit a 2013 Coachman Freedom Express 281RLDS
  
• The Ultra-Fab Power Twin II Electric Stabilizer, # UF39-941705, is designed to fit trailers and RVs with frames measuring 48 to 80 inches wide (measured from outside to outside). The brackets that attach to the frame are 36 inches long so there will need to be space on the frame at least this long for the brackets to fit. You will need to measure to determine if this unit will fit your 2013 Coachman Freedom Express 281RLDS.

• I took a look at the instructions for the Husky Liners Custom Molded Mud Guard you mentioned, part # HL56171. You are correct, step 5 on page 3 of the instructions does indeed state that the top hole will need to be drilled. On the 2012 Ram model, the molding or Large Rock Guard as it is referred to will need to be removed in order for the mud guard to fit correctly. It is not meant to be left in place. I have provided a diagram showing the hole location and the rock guard that needs to be re

• I checked with Hopkins and brake controller wiring harness # HM53015 does fit a 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 if it is equipped with a factory 4-Way or 7-Way trailer connector at the back. If you have a Hopkins brake controller that requires a plug in harness then this is the correct one for you. If you have a Hopkins brake controller that requires a hardwire from the controller to the harness use # 20273.

• Leveling Ride Height of 2012 Ram with Air Bags and Weight Distribution when Towing Toy Hauler
  
• As a first step, I would recommend determining the fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of your trailer. The weight of anything stowed in the bed of your truck behind the rear axle will need to be considered as tongue weight. I will link you to an FAQ article that lists several ways of doing this. Knowing the fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of your trailer is essential, in order to choose the proper system for your trailer. Weight distribution systems are typically rated for a

• Will Timbren Suspension Enhancement Reduce Sag and Trailer Sway on a 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 Big Horn
  
• Timbren suspension enhancement can help with rear end sag and trailer sway issues. However, with a trailer this heavy it would be more beneficial to use a weight distribution system with sway control. Since 8,388 pounds is the dry weight of your trailer, that puts the tongue weight range at 838 to 1,200 pounds (10 to 15 percent of gross trailer weight) and heavier once loaded and ready to tow. I recommend going with a system rated for 800 to 1,500 pounds tongue weight like # RP66157. This sys

• Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for a 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 Crew Cab ST Tradesman Edition
  
• The brackets that you have referenced, # RP58186, are only part of a 5th wheel hitch installation kit. If you have a gooseneck trailer, you are going to need a gooseneck trailer hitch, not a 5th wheel hitch. For a crew cab, the only option is Curt gooseneck hitch # C600-657. The installation kit is included. With a short bed truck you will most likely also need the offset ball, # C602, which will provide 4 inches more clearance.

• Parts Needed to Install a Hopkins Trailer Brake Controller on a 2012 Dodge Ram
  
• Since you have a connector on your 2012 Ram 1500 and a Hopkins brake controller, you can just use the plug and play harness # 20273. Otherwise, you would need to use a circuit tester like # 3808 if needed and test the wires on the connector you found for function. The 12 volt power and brake light wire will be easy to find but the ground and the brake output will not because they will not have power to test. On the truck find the 12 volt power pin.

• Line Pull Capacity of Curt Front Receiver # 31374 on 2012 Ram 1500 Versus Capacity of OEM Tow Hooks
  
• I do not have any information regarding the capacity of the OEM tow hooks. The 9000 lb line pull refers to the fact that the receiver is capable of pulling 9000 lbs in a straight line from the receiver opening (not at an angle from side to side or up and down). In order to install the receiver, the OEM tow hooks would need to be removed. I do not have a photo of the receiver installed on a vehicle, as we have not yet had the opportunity to install one, but if you look at the installation inst

He did not sound optimistic when I told him you had 33 inches of clearance between the side rails and garage door opening.
