• Replacing Valve Cable on LaSalle Bristol RV Waste Valve # 34466N11AB96GMA
  The cable is a fixed length and does not allow for tightening. It is recommended that you use a gentle u-shape, s-shape or gentle 90* bend in the cable and secure it every so often with cable ties part # DW05727-25 to take up the slack that you might have remaining in the cable.

• How to Run the Power Wire for Trailer Wiring on a 2020 Toyota Rav 4
  How you run the power wire for trailer wiring on your 2020 Rav 4 is a personal choice. The directions do not give you a specific path to take, but it does give some suggestions. The wire will have to start at the back of your Rav 4, near the tail lights and then route to the battery up front in the engine compartment. I have installed many wiring kits and I prefer to route the wire to the outside of the vehicle, and underneath along the frame. This prevents having to take the interior...

• How to Run the Power Wire for a Curt Harness on a 2022 Toyota Rav4
  How you run the wire for the battery when installing the Curt Wiring Harness # C56434 on your 2022 Toyota Rav4 is a matter of preference. Some people like to run the wire through the inside of the vehicle and others prefer to run the wire under the vehicle. The wire will need to be ran from near the tail light to the engine compartment where the battery is. I would suggest running the wire under the vehicle rather than through the inside. This will prevent you from having to take the...

• Replacement Lippert Jack Plus Install Tools
  I reached out to my contact at Lippert parts and found out that the Lippert # LC285318 electric jack does not have a replacement drop foot. To replace this you could install another Lippert LC285318 which you know will be a perfect fit, or you could check out the Lippert # LC643589 "Smart" Electric Jack. the smart jack has better lighting and remembers tongue possitions for quick and easy hook up. If you decide not to run the old wires all the way to the terminal, you will need connectors...

• Recommendation to Extend Factory 7-Way to Fit with New Bumper on 2010 Ram 2500
  There are a couple of options to extend the factory wiring at the rear of your 2010 Ram 2500 so that it can reach the new connecter opening on the 2015 bumper. The easiest solution is to use a 5th Wheel Wiring Harness like the Curt # C56070. This will plug in-line with your existing factory wiring and provide an extended harness on the other end. The only drawback on this option is that the Curt # C56070 represents the shortest 5th Wheel Harness that we offer at 7 feet long. So you will...

• Are Cable Zip Ties Required To Secure Curt Auxiliary LED Indicator Lights # C53201 To a Bike Rack?
  The 3M adhesive backing on the Curt Auxiliary LED Indicator Lights # C53201 is a very strong adhesive that will last for a long time. It is important to have a smooth clean surface to attach the lights, otherwise they may not stay attached. While you will not need Cable Ties # DW05727-25 to hold the lights themselves in place they should be used to secure the wiring and prevent it from getting caught on part of your bikes when loading and unloading,

• Replacing a Broken Wiring Harness on a 2007 Dodge Ram Pickup
  If the wiring is damaged, it is always recommended said wiring be replaced or repaired. That being said, I am not aware of a specific part to remedy this without replacing the whole part. You could use Deka Cable Ties like # DW05727-25 as a temporary solution, however. If the vehicle is a 2007 Dodge Ram Pickup, you would use the Pollak 7 Way # HM40975-11933, or the Tekonsha T-One # 118381 if you have a 4 Flat. If the trailer needs the replacement, the Wesbar 4-Pole connector # W787268...

• Availability of 7-Way Connector Shorter than 7 Feet
  I have some options for you, but unfortunately I could not find a 7-Way 5th wheel/gooseneck wiring Connector Loop shorter than the Draw-Tite # 20027. I recommend simply looping up any excess and wrapping a zip tie # DW05727-25 around it to adjust it to a shorter length. If your tow vehicle has a 7-way at the bumper that uses a US-Style car connector, another option is to install a 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Harness in line by using the Curt # C56000. This will provide you with a 7-way connection...
