  • Where is the "Momentary" Button on the LINC Remote?
  • We get this question a lot. The momentary push button on your Lippert LINC system that you need to press to program the Remote Control # LC292614 is not on the remote, but rather on the LINC receiver box which is usually located near the generator. After you press and hold this button on the receiver you will press the light bulb button on the remote until you hear a relay in the receiver click, then release that button on the receiver. The two should now be synced. I have atttached further...

  • How Difficult Is Installation of Reese RP87FR Elite Under Bed Rail Kit on 2017 Ford F-250
  • The Reese Elite Series under bed puck system, part # RP87FR is compatible with your 2017 Ford F250. The puck spacing is identical to hat of the Ford OEM system, so you'd be able to use any puck mounted hitch designed for the Ford OEM tow/prep package puck system. As you can see by clicking the provided instruction link, the bed will indeed need to be removed temporarily for the installation of the rail kit. Also, if the inner brackets shown in figure # 4 aren't welded to the truck frame,...

  • Do I Have to Have a Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch in a Short Bed Truck
  • You do not have to use a sliding 5th wheel hitch in a short bed truck. In many cases, truck beds shorter than 8 ft do not have enough clearance between the trailer and truck to execute sharp turns. This is why sliding hitches were invented. Due to the popularity of short bed trucks, trailer manufacturers started making more 5th wheel trailers with angled or indented noses so they do not contact your truck cab when turning such as the Highland Ridge Light 5th wheel trailer. The downside...

  • How To Adjust The Roadmaster Exact Center Steering Stabilizer For A More Comfortable Ride
  • The Roadmaster Exact Center Steering Stabilizer w/ Custom Brackets # RM47MR typically comes centered and you would only need to make adjustments after installation and testing to see if it continues to pull. If you adjusted it all the way out to where there wasn't room on the ends to adjust then you went too far. The rods are meant to be slightly adjusted out and then locked back in place with the jam nuts. Roadmaster only recommends turning the rod enough to have the loose jam nut turn...

  • Will Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier Work With Motorhome and Bike Rack
  • The Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 only has about 8 inches from the hitch pin hole to the back of the carrier and my understanding of Fiamma racks for motorhomes are that they are designed to sit pretty low when mounted on rails of motorhomes. What you can do is use this spare tire carrier as a receiver for a bike rack, but you would need one that is rated for use on the back of a motorhome such as the Swagman Titan 2-Bike Rack # S63400. The Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier will...

  • The B&W Custom Mounting Brackets for Patriot 5th Wheel Above Bed Base Rails # BWRVR2401 will come with installation instructions but is not the correct fit for your 2018 Ford F-250. You will instead want the # BWRVR2402 for 2017 and 2018 models. The # BWRVR2401 is the fit for 2011-2016 models. I've attached some photos of the installation details for your 2018 F-250 to assist.

  • Installing Atwood RV Carbon Monoxide and Propane Gas Detector
  • When replacing your existing detector with the Atwood RV Carbon Monoxide and Propane Gas Detector # AT36681 you will not need to disconnect the 12V trailer batteries. It also does not matter which of the two power wires you connect first. The third (black) wire is for ground. I have attached a short video review on this unit that you can also check out.

  • Can the Fittings on the Ends of the RhinoFLEX Sewer Hose Detach for Storage
  • The two orange fittings at the ends of the RhinoFLEX RV Sewer Hose, part # CAM39761, are designed to come of easily. The ends can be removed by twisting the black locking rings until loose. From there, you can unscrew the orange fittings. This makes replacing the ends much simpler. I've linked to a video review of this hose for you to look at.

  • Brake Controller Installation in 2019 Ford Ranger
  • We have not yet (as of April 2019) had a chance to install any wired trailer brake controllers on a 2019 Ford Ranger so for guidance I checked with my most trusted brake controller expert at Tekonsha. Based on what I could learn about the truck if the Ranger has a factory-installed 7-way it should have a standard brake controller connection port above and to the left of your left knee when seated; this will be near the kick panel. You will want to look for a connector that matches the...

  • How to Install LED Light Bulb Load Resistor for Use with Trailer with LED Lighting
  • The Diamond LED Light Bulb Load-Resistor Kit # DI34ZR wires in parallel with each trailer lighting circuit. For a trailer with LED lighting (that does not present the same electrical load as an incandescent type bulb) you will wire one resistor inline with each circuit, so for a typical 4-pole installation you'll need three, for left turn/stop, right turn/stop and running light circuits. The kit includes quick-splice connectors.

  • Recommended Spare Tire Carrier for 4" Square Rear Bumper on RV
  • The bolts on the Demco Spare Tire Carrier for up to 4" Trailer Tongue - Silver # DM15851-52 are roughly 4-1/2" apart; this carrier is designed to fit on 4" x 4" trailer tongues, so it would also fit on a 4" square bumper but it isn't the best solution. Instead I recommend using the Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier for Trailers and RVs - Bumper Mount # UF15-954730, which can fit a variety of different bolt patterns and is designed to fit on 4" x 4" square bumpers. I've linked a review...

  • Wiring a Powerstop 500-PS Trailer Brake Controller to 2006 Ford F-250 Super Duty
  • The green wire from the controller attaches to the cold side of the brake stoplight switch, the white ground wire attaches to the negative battery terminal, the red wire supplies 12-volt power to the controller, and attaches to the positive battery terminal. The blue wire carries the brake controller output. Connecting the orange wire is optional, according to the manufacturer. It would also attach to the stoplight switch like the green wire, and is supposed to stop the trailer brakes from...
