Expert Answers about Airstream


  • Lift Kit for a 2024 Airstream Globetrotter 30' Trailer
  • Hey Seth, thanks for reaching out! I believe you have the Torflex #11 axles which means you would need the Torflex Lift Kit # K71-724-02 for a 2-7/8" lift. I recommend checking the tag on your axle to make sure this is accurate. If you find something different please let me know!

  • Which Electric Drum Brakes for Dexter Nev-R-Lube Axle 410980-02 Hub 8-388
  • I sent this to Dexter and this is what they sent back: I checked the number and it not a good hub number, and wheel tried pulls up 3,500 sprung axle from 2006 that doesn’t use a Nev-R-Lube hub. I would ask for confirmation on the number or some pictures of the product to confirm replacement parts that will work. If you can get me the info on your hub I can go from there. Look for a number on the outside of the drum.

  • Hey Steven, from what I was able to determine from some research, the 2018 Airstream Flying Cloud 27FB does have a #11 Torflex axle on it, so the Dexter # K71-724-02 is the correct lift kit for your trailer. This is a 2-7/8 inch lift kit. Why are you wanting to lift your camper?

  • Recommended Torflex Lift Kit for a Airstream Trailer
  • Hey Dennis! We don't have a database that shows us what axles are on any one trailer so I can't say for sure which kit you need but I can tell you to find out. The Torflex Lift Kit - Tandem Axle item # K71-707-02 fits a #10 torflex axle but it is for a tandem axle trailer so you won't need that one. The Torflex Lift Kit - Single Axle - 2-5/8" Lift item # K71-707-01 also fits a #10 axle and looking at your trailer's weight this is most likely the one you need. If you measure where the...

  • Complete Awning Replacement Recommendation for a 2004 Airstream Land Yacht
  • Brien, it sounds like you did your research so kudos to you, but the awning you're looking at is not going to work with the wind sensor. You'd need to use the Solera Smart Arm 12V Power RV Awning # LC517517 instead. You're also going to need the Solera Awning Rail Extrusion # LC715217, some LaSalle Bristol Butyl Tape for XTRM RV roof membranes # 344270341411-1, the Replacement Wiring Harness for Solera 12V and Smart Arm Power RV Awnings # LC280570, and the Wind Sensor Prep Mount for...

  • Weight Distribution/Sway Control Recommendation for 2022 Airstream Basecamp 16X
  • I looked up the weights of your 2022 Airstream Basecamp 16X and based on what I found the best weight distribution system and sway control would be the Reese Strait Line part # RP66083 which has a tongue weight range of 400-800 lbs and has the best sway control for preventing sway before it starts. For a 2 inch hitch ball you'd then want the part # A-90 and you'd be set.

  • Can I Increase the Tongue Weight Capacity of a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited
  • I do have a possible solution for you but the most well equipped 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 350 lbs therefore, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT78MR will not increase your tongue weight capacity. However, most of the time you can use a weight distribution system like the Reese Weight Distribution System w Shank part # RP66540 with the Chain Hangers for Reese Weight Distribution Systems part # RP58305 to increase your tongue...

  • What Dexter Lift Kit Will Fit A 2021 Globetrotter 25' Airstream
  • Hello David. I can certainly point you in the right direction. When selecting a lift kit, we need to consider the axle type and the weight capacity of each axle. For example the Torflex Lift Kit # K71-707-02 that you were looking at will work with #10 Torflex (torsion) axles with 2,300 to 4,000-lb capacities. I do not have a way to look up the exact axle type or capacity that your trailer is currently equipped with. Please do confirm the weight capacity and axle type. Feel free to post...

  • Does Wisight 2.0 Camera System Have Better Reception than Previous Version
  • Hey Phil, yes the Wisight 2.0 part # ASA57YR that you referenced will have noticeably better reception that the previous version that it sounds like you have now. They found a way to lock the connection between the camera and the monitor which allows it to block out interference in a way that it didn't do before.

  • Availability of 15" x 7" Rims for 2020 Airstream
  • Hi Joe, We don't have any 15" x 7" rims with that bolt pattern right now but I know they exist. If you can send me a picture I can try to determine what you have exactly and see if they're something we can add from one of our manufacturers. You could also contact Airstream directly, they should have information on what wheels came with the trailer. Is this for a spare or are you trying to find a replacement?

  • Torflex Lift Kit for a 2021 Airstream Globetrotter 25FB
  • Hey Kevin! According to my research your 2021 Airstream Globetrotter should have either #10 or #11 Torflex axles from Dexter. You can verify which one you have by checking the sticker in the middle of the axle, then choose which one of the following is the correct kit for you: - #10 Torflex Axles # K71-707-02 - #11 Torflex Axles # K71-724-02 If you have something else, please let me know and I'll be more than happy to help you look further into this!

  • Which Equal-i-Zer Weight Distribution for Trailer 430 lb Tongue Weight
  • Hey Mike, yes your best option would be the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ90-00-0600 which has a tongue weight range of 200-600 lbs. Ideally your trailer's tongue weight falls as close to the middle of the range of the WD system which this comes very close to that so it would work well. Does your Sequoia sag when towing?
