Hey Donny! For your Dometic Penguin/Brisk Air 15,000 BTU AC model B59516.711C0-MX, the correct soft start is the #DMC93JF. This is designed for Dometic Brisk II electronic air conditioner units with in-wall thermostats.
Hey Eric! There has definitely been some confusion around the specs on this scale. I just contacted B&W and can confirm that the B&W Digital Tongue Weight Scale w/ LED Screen #BW34KR has a max capacity of 4,000 lbs. It has been listed on our…
Hi Alex; the gauge on the Big Truck Big RV Tongue Weight Scale for Trailers #BTBRV004 has a +/- 5% full scale accuracy and displays weight in 20-lb increments up to 1,000 lbs. We also have it available with a SnapPad #BTBRV99FR. If you want something…
Hey Tom, great question! Both products provide an easy way to measure tongue weight, but they excel in different situations. The BTBRV Trailer Jack Foot Scale #BTBRV014 measures tongue weight at the trailer jack, so you don't need to position a…
Hey Michael, this is a great question but you can use a tongue weight scale like the B and W part #BW34KR with a lighter tongue weight like what you have (relative to it's 4k capacity) and it will still work great. We had the chance to demo this…
Hey Ed, welcome back! As long as the Big Truck Big RV Tongue Weight Scale #BTBRV004 is on a hard flat surface that does not flex it will work just fine. So you can use a spacer of some type to take up the extra space needed with this and it will work…
Hey Tony, great question, and you are definitely not alone, this is one of the most confusing parts of towing. The weight of your weight distribution hitch, including the shank and ball mount that slide into the receiver, counts against your truck’s…
Hey Michael! When you're choosing a weight distribution hitch the most important factor is the tongue weight of the trailer. It looks like the dry/unloaded tongue weight of a Brinkley Z Air 297 is 924 lbs. Once you add batteries and propane you…
Hello again Monty; I would get the black SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs #SS66PV. These have a capacity of 1,800 lbs so it gives you a bit over the blue without overdoing it. SumoSprings are a great choice if you don't want to go with the air…

Hi Francis, None of the electric trailer dollys we have are able to handle higher than a 6% grade. However, the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly with Chain Drive part #TVXL2 is rated for 10,000lbs and can handle up to a 10% grade due to its chain drive…

Get real numbers so your rig handles right. Pick a hydraulic gauge that reads in 20-lb increments up to 1,000 lbs, or go digital for easier reading and capacities up to 4,000 lbs with 5-lb resolution. Check coupler height: fixed units sit at 17-1/4", adjustable versions cover 14-3/4" to 20-3/4", and some digital models fit 19-1/2" to 27". Use only on bumper pull trailers, and place on a hard, non-flexing surface or spacer.
Set the scale on a hard level surface and follow the directions. If a non-adjustable unit needs blocking, make sure it's stable. Some gauges are the most exposed part, so consider a protective cover to reduce damage risk. These scales are hydraulically operated, with no electronics or springs in the analog versions. Weigh, then rearrange cargo if needed to ensure proper tongue weight.
Use these for bumper pull trailers. B&W's digital scale is designed for bumper pull trailers only and there's no way to safely hook up a 5th wheel or gooseneck to the scale. To measure pin weight on those trailers, use a commercial scale.
Analog units like Big Truck Big RV list +/- 5% full scale accuracy and display in 20-lb increments up to 1,000 lbs. Adjustable analog versions go to 2,000 lbs. Digital options from B&W reach 4,000 lbs and display to the nearest 5 lbs. Pick capacity above your expected tongue weight so you can measure without maxing out the gauge.
You can use a spacer or blocking as long as it's a hard flat surface that does not flex. Fixed-height analog options are about 17-1/4" and a SnapPad adds approximately 1". Adjustable analog scales cover about 14-3/4" to 20-3/4" in 2" steps, and B&W's digital covers 19-1/2" to 27".
