• Can Hydraulic Brakes of Demco Tow Dolly be Converted to Electric Brakes
  Since Demco uses 3,500 drum brake assemblies part # DMSB24429M and # DMSB24428M what you'd need is similar 3,500 electric brake assemblies like the etrailer part # AKEBRK-35L-SA for the left hand side and # AKEBRK-35R-SA for the right hand side. To wire these up you'd just need 10 gauge wire like the part # 10-1-1 which we sell by the foot. Then to add a 7-way the easiest way to do that is with the 7-way junction box # e99011.

• Parts Needed To Add Brakes To Single Axle Boat Trailer
  Hey Steven, thanks for reaching out. It may be possible to add brakes to your trailer. The first thing you will want to verify is that your axle has a brake flange. It should look something like part # 4-35. If no brake flange is present, they can be welded on by a shop, or you can replace the axle entirely. If you do have a brake flange, this means brakes can be added. From there I will need to gather a bit of info from you. I will need to know the weight capacity of your axle, as that...

• Replacement Brakes and Axle for 1997 Magic Tilt Boat Trailer
  Hey Michael! I would add hydraulic surge brakes since it is a boat trailer. Dealing with the hydraulic lines and fluid I would say a little more involved upfront, but the better option overall.

• Parts Needed to Install a Autowbrake and 7-Way for Towing w/a 2022 Toyota RAV-4 Hybrid
  Hey Daniel, thanks for the part number. You'll still need to install a 7-way connector on your 2022 Toyota RAV-4 hybrid to power the Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller item # 3430001. The 4-Way like item # C59236 that fits your RAV-4 does not supply power. To add a 7-way, I recommend the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit item # ETBC7L. The kit includes a pre-wired 7- and 4-way trailer connector that mounts easily at the rear of your RAV-4 with an included bracket. This kit is designed for use on...

• Replacement Electric A-Frame Jack For A Winnebago Minnie 2401RG
  Hi Mel! A 3,500 pound trailer jack will definitely be sufficient for your Winnebago Minnie 2401RG as it has a GVWR of 7,000 pounds and a maximum loaded tongue weight rating of 650 pounds (at least that I could find, so check your sticker to double check that). With that said, the etrailer Electric Trailer Jack - Drop Leg - A-Frame - 18" Lift - 3,500 lbs # e23ZV will be a fantastic option that will get the job done! It is a hardwired option, but that's not a difficult job if you are replacing...

• Will Removing 4-Way Connector To Install etrailer 7-Way Upgrade Kit Cause Ground Issues
  Hey Mike! You’ll be fine as long as the trailer light ground wire is still tied to the trailer frame. The white wire from the old 4-way was the main ground for the lighting circuit. On the # e99011, just run all grounds into the junction box and tie them to the main ground stud/frame ground. That should take care of it, but if you run into issues you can always run jumpers with separate grounds to the frame for anything that is affected. What kind of boat are you towing?

• Can I Wire Directly to Trailer Battery from 12V Pin on e99011?
  Hi David! The 12V auxiliary pin on a 7-pin trailer cord such as etrailer Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit w/ Junction Box and RV Style Connector # e99011 can be connected directly to the battery on your trailer, such as Replacement Battery for Superwinch Hand Hauler Portable Winch # SW92SR. The power supply when connected to your tow vehicle will come from your alternator, but it is not directly wired into the alternator. When you're wiring to your battery, I recommend using 10 gauge...

• Can I Add Electric Brakes To A 2023 Aluma 7712H Trailer With A 3,500 lb Axle?
  Hey Eric, thanks for reaching out. The etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes # AKEBRK-35 are correct for a 3,500 lb axle, but first we'll need to make sure your axle is equipped with a brake mounting flange. That will be a square mounting plate with 4 holes welded to the base of the spindle. If no brake flange is present, they can be welded on by an axle shop, or the axle can be replaced with one that is brake-ready. If the brake flange is present, brakes can be added pretty easily. You'll...

• Should I Put a 7-Way Blade or Round in Place of 6-Way
  Hey Nick, since the 7-way blade is a lot more popular than the 7-way round I would definitely recommend going with a 7-way flat. For that we have the part # e99011 which comes with a junction box to make installing on your trailer as easy as possible. What does your tow vehicle have on it?

• Parts Needed To Add Electric Drum Brakes To 1994 Jayco Pop-Up
  Hey Dan, thanks for reaching out. We do have the 7" electric brakes and drums. Electric brakes are typically less expensive and easier to service than disc brakes. Both could work but for a pop-up camper electric drum brakes would do fine and be relatively easy to set up. As I said we do have the 7" brakes and drums but there are a few different spindle sizes so I will need you to confirm either your spindle diameter or bearing numbers. Also confirm the hub bolt pattern you want. The...

• Trailer Connector for Trailer With 4-Way To Add Reverse Lights
  Hey Dave, welcome back! Since you have a 7-way on your truck the best solution would be to add one to your trailer. What I would do is add the etrailer Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit w/ Junction Box and RV Style Connector # e99011. You will cut off the end of your existing 4-way and wire it into the junction box. Then you can take some additional wire like # 10-1-1 and run that back for your reverse light circuit.

• Can 12V Power Wire Provide Power To Overhead Upright With Lights On Trailer
  Hi Matt! Yes, you can use the black 12V power wire in the # e99011 to power those lights. I can't say for sure if your 12V pin has power when your truck is off or not. Some do and some do not, you will have to test for power to be sure. You can leave the blue brake output wire attached in the box with nothing running to it, it won't hurt anything. Where do you typically take your kayaks?

• Wiring Needed to Wire Up Utility Trailer
  Hey Joe, a great place to start would be the etrailer junction box part # e99011. Installing this up front on the trailer gives you a good place to then run all of the circuits too for the trailer lights and brakes etc. You can also use jacketed wire like part # DW04906-1 that we sell by the foot if you want to carry more circuits back to the rear of the trailer in one bundle but generally you'd just run each circuit individually to the junction box. Be sure to use 10 gauge wire like part...

  Hey Paul! I can recommend a few of the parts you're going to need but you're also going to have to replace your hubs.

If you could get this information around and comment below I would be happy to find you the right hubs. A brake flange is definitely going to be needed. If you don't have one, you'll need to measure the diameter of your axle...
