Hey Mike, I would recommend going with a size larger with the Progressive Dynamics part #PD89RR as having more amperage than needed is better than not enough. If you went down in amperage your charging system wouldn't be able to keep up as well…
Hey welcome back, Jody. So your best option here will be to get a new 50 amp surge protector for your new travel trailer. If you did end up at a camp ground with 50 amp service you would want to have it. I know a lot of sites do have just 30 amp but…
Yes, it will work. You'll just need to cut the Lance 6-pin connector out and rewire it into the etrailer Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit w/ Junction Box and RV Style Connector item #e99011. Here are the individual functions of that Lance 6-pin:…
Hey David, thanks for reaching out! The closest combination we can get for you is the SmartPlug RV/Marine Data Port Inlet #SM36MJ and then getting the Keystone Single Jack Ethernet Connector #SM38MJ along with the ethernet adapter for your Starlink…
Thanks for the picture! I checked with Progressive Dynamics the replacement power converter you need for your Parallax Series 7300 Model 7345 is the Replacement Converter for Parallax/Magnetek or WFCO RV Power Centers - 45 Amp item #PD4645V.
Hey Bud. It doesn't say you can't put the Watchdog Power Center Surge Protector and Voltage Booster item #HU74ZR on its back but you are going to block some of the ventilation. The unit does warm up and it will shut off if the internal…
We have run into this quite a few times in the past, and the best option will be replacing the Lance 7-pin connector with a standard 7-way blade connector like the #PK12706. This will give you a standard 7-way connector to plug into the factory 7-way…
Hey Tyson! The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs item #AL88289 have a built in jounce bumper similar to a bump stop, whereas the item #AL57289 does not. These are helpful if you want to run your air bags with little or no air…

Hello Andrew, Well that sounds like quite the fun trip, what state or states will you be traveling through? You're asking a really important question, especially since you're planning a cross-country trip with about 250 pounds of bikes and…
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.

What’s the difference between a 30-amp and a 50-amp RV power system?
Your RV’s power needs determine the right setup. A 30-amp system supplies up to 3,600 watts, which works well for smaller RVs with fewer appliances running at once. A 50-amp system provides up to 12,000 watts, ideal for larger RVs with multiple air conditioners, microwaves, and TVs running at the same time. Choosing the right amperage ensures you have enough power without overloading your system.
How do I keep my RV’s electrical system protected?
Campground power isn’t always reliable, and one bad surge can fry your electronics. A quality surge protector prevents voltage spikes from damaging your appliances. Power management systems add extra protection by shutting off power when voltage levels are unsafe.
What does an RV power converter do, and do I need one?
Your RV runs on two power systems—120V AC for large appliances and 12V DC for lights, fans, and pumps. A power converter takes shore power or generator power and converts it to 12V DC to charge your batteries and run your 12V devices. If you camp with hookups, a good converter ensures a steady power supply and keeps your batteries topped off.
How can I power my RV when camping off-grid?
Going off-grid doesn’t mean going without power. A solar panel setup lets you generate power from the sun, keeping your batteries charged without running a generator. A portable generator or power station is also great for extra power when solar isn’t an option. For a breakdown of what solar can handle based on your setup, check out What Can You Run on Solar Power? to build a system that fits your needs.
How do I safely plug my RV into shore power?
Before plugging in, always check the power source for proper voltage and polarity. Use a surge protector or electrical management system to protect your RV from faulty wiring. If your RV’s power cord doesn’t match the campground outlet, an adapter (dogbone) ensures compatibility.
