Hey Steven, I was able to find out that the center cap part number you mentioned is for a 3.75 inch diameter wheel pilot hole so for a suitable replacement we carry the #KE95JV which would work great. Did yours break or did they fall off?
The ER code on a Reese brake controller typically indicates an internal problem that can't be fixed and requires replacing the controller. Since yours is still working normal I'd say that you are probably on borrowed time with it and will…

Yes, it is! The RV Flooring Adhesive for Vinyl Over Wood, Metal, or Concrete item #TS58FR is freeze-thaw stable to 15° F and would have to be heated up to at least 212° F once it has dried and cured. What kind of trailer do you have?

How do I figure out what size enclosed trailer I need?
It really depends on what you’re hauling. Common sizes range from 5 to 8.5 feet wide and 8 to 32 feet long. Think about the size of your cargo and leave a little room for future needs. Better to go slightly bigger than not have enough space!
Should I get a ramp door or barn doors?
If you’re loading wheeled equipment like motorcycles or lawnmowers, a ramp door is a must. For general cargo, barn doors are often easier, especially if you’re in a tight space where a ramp might be tricky.
What’s the deal with leaf spring vs. torsion axles?
Leaf spring axles are affordable, easy to repair, and work great when the trailer’s empty. Torsion axles give you a smoother ride when the trailer’s loaded and have independent wheel movement, but they’re pricier and harder to fix.
Should I go with radial or bias ply tires?
Radial tires are usually the way to go. They run cooler, last longer, and give better traction. Bias ply tires are okay for occasional use, but radials are the better all-around choice.
Do I need a special license to tow an enclosed trailer?
It depends on where you live. In some states, if the trailer’s GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) is above a certain limit—usually around 26,000 lbs—you might need a special license or endorsement. Check your local laws just to be safe.
How do I keep my cargo secure inside the trailer?
Add E-track, D-rings, and cargo trailer tie-downs is a great way to secure your load. Straps and bungee cords can also help keep things from sliding around during transport.
Can I have my enclosed trailer upgrades professionally installed?
Whether you’re adding cargo trailer racks, interior lights, brakes, or E-track, professional installation can save time and ensure everything is secure and road-ready. If you'd rather skip the hassle or don’t have the tools on hand, use our Local Installer Locator Tool to find a qualified pro near you who can get the job done right—so you can hit the road with confidence.
