Hello Barry, Since you already have a weight distribution (WD) hitch and are only experiencing a little rear sag, I recommend going with SumoSprings. I typically only suggest Timbrens for those who are towing heavy loads regularly, as they can create…
Hey Tim, most likely the trailer hub part #AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K is correct for your trailer as it most likely has a 3,500 lb capacity hub with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern but I would need for you to verify your axle capacity for me as the fits are…
Hey Chris, thanks for reaching out@ Yes, the 5-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles #TRU32FR can be installed in either an overslung or underslung configuration. Are your current leaf springs in the overslung configuration?
Hello Lanny, thanks for reaching out. The CRE 3000 is already a pretty good suspension system, but if you want to upgrade, the first thing that comes to mind are the AllTrek 4000 equalizers. They have more rubber than the CRE 3000, 40% more, so you…
Hey Boyd! Yes, the Conventional Ramp Door Spring for 8' Wide Enclosed Trailer #M386FR will work with your 95" wide ramp door. This is designed for enclosed trailer doors 94-3/8"- 95-3/8" wide so you fall into that range. It has a…
Hey Bill, thanks for getting in touch. The Dexter Self-Contained Hydraulic Jack #DX72CR is powered by the trailer battery. Dexter recommends a full size deep cycle RV/marine battery.
Hey Luis, We can answer both your questions in one as yes, you can change from the CRE3000 to AllTrek 4000, and it's definitely an upgrade worth making, as the AllTrek 4000 is better in a couple ways from the CRE3000. The first is the 4000 is…
I am not sure how many of the Erickson E-Track systems you have seen but it really is your best bet when it comes to versatility and functionality. Not only do they have the Horizontal E-Track, like part #E19148, but they also have Vertical E-Track…
Hey there Layla! There are a few different forms of weight distribution hitches, but the majority of the systems that have sway control use friction bars, which work similar to brake pads on your vehicle. This works really well, but it can sometimes…
Thinking about making the switch to disc brakes, always a great idea! We definitely have the parts to make the switch. Unfortunately, I don’t have a database showing what components are installed on each camper (I wish one existed, it would make my…
Hi Jeff, The Thetford Titan Tote Portable Waste Tank #TH84XE does use a strap to loop around the hitch ball to tow it to the dump site at your campground. There isn't specific testing done to see how well these straps hold up to extreme heat but…

How do I choose the right loading ramps for my vehicle?
The right ramps make loading safer and easier. First, consider your vehicle’s weight, ground clearance, and the height of your truck or trailer. Low-clearance vehicles need longer ramps with a gradual incline to prevent scraping, while heavier equipment requires high-strength aluminum or steel ramps rated for the load.
How much weight can my ramps handle?
Ramp weight ratings matter—especially when loading heavy equipment. Most ramp weight limits are for the pair, not each individual ramp. For example, if a set is rated for 6,000 lbs, each ramp can support 3,000 lbs. Checking weight distribution ensures a stable and secure load.
What length ramp do I need for my trailer?
A good rule of thumb—higher decks need longer ramps. For a 22-inch trailer deck, 6-foot ramps usually provide a safe, manageable incline. If you're loading a low-clearance car, longer ramps with a gentle slope help prevent bottoming out. The right length keeps your vehicle secure while making loading smoother.
How can I load a low-clearance vehicle without scraping?
The right ramp setup makes all the difference. Longer ramps with a shallow incline give you a smooth transition onto the trailer. Some ramps also come with built-in support for low approach angles, ensuring you don’t damage the underside of your car.
What’s the safest way to load a wide vehicle like a Can-Am Spyder?
For three-wheelers and wide vehicles, stability is key. Instead of using a tri-fold ramp sideways, opt for individual ramps positioned under each wheel. This setup keeps your vehicle balanced while reducing the risk of shifting during loading. https://www.etrailer.com/dept-pg-ATV_Ramps-sf-Ramp_Set-pt-Tri~Fold.aspx
