Expert Answers about Forest River


  • Can Inverters Be Used With Progressive Dynamics Power Centers
  • Yes, you can use a 3000w Inverter with transfer switch like part # 34275013 and still use it with your Progressive Dynamics Mighty Mini AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger # PD4060K. The inverter is going to require you to have two separate AC bus bars. Since the # PD4060K only has one you'll need to get an AC subpanel. Your AC in on the inverter will connect to a circuit breaker on the main panel ( # PD4060K) and the AC out will go to a circuit breaker on the sub panel. When connected...

  • Will the Furrion Chill Cube Work w/ the Cummins Onan QG 4000i Onboard RV Generator?
  • Hey Joseph, it sure will. The Furrion Chill Cube RV Air Conditioner item # LC34DX is most likely going to be more efficient that what you're currently running. It only pulls 1,330 watts while drawing 11.6 amps. The Furrion Chill Cube item # LC34DX has the new R32 refrigerant, which is far more efficient. Your Cummins Onan QG Generator item # CM42ZR is going to have no problems keeping up with this AC unit. Please note that due to the new R32 refrigerant none of the Chill Cube components...

  • Replacement Pin Box Option For A Lippert Turning Point Rotating Pin Box
  • The Lippert Turning Point has a specific bolt pattern that only has one replacement so far, the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box # GY48GR. This is a gooseneck adapter though so you'd have to switch out the hitch for a gooseneck ball for this to work. The torsion head will help reduce road shock and chucking transferred to your truck so it is worth considering, but you'll also be moving your pivot point back to the truck so you could run into clearance issues if...

  • Recommended AC/DC Distribution Panel And Charger For A 2006 Forest River Sierra Sport T34SP
  • The Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center with AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger - 90 Amp # PD4590K18LS8 is a distribution panel for your AC and DC appliances which will also charge your battery when hooked up to shore power. It is not an inverter to allow you to convert DC power to AC power to run AC appliances. You would need to install an inverter with a transfer switch if you were planning to boondock and use your battery to power AC appliances. You do not want to install...

  • Difference Between Dexter and etrailer Hub/Drum Assembly for 3,500 lb Axles
  • Hi Rusty; the Dexter # 84546UC3-EZ and etrailer # AKHD-5475-35-K will both fit a 3,500 lb axle but they have different bolt patterns. You already ordered the Dexter in the past so I'm assuming your wheels are 5 on 4-1/2. For the same bolt pattern on an etrailer hub and drum assembly you need the # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K. I'm sure you're also wondering about the price difference. The Dexter name generally carries a higher price while the etrailer hub is our house brand so we are able to keep the...

  • Will The MORryde Replacement Pin Box Offer More Length Than A Lippert Rhino Pin Box
  • Hey Pat, The Rhino box definitely is shorter than what most Rver's were hoping for so we get this question all the time. Switching to a MORryde Cushioned pin box designed with a Rhino box bolt pattern unfortunately won't give you extra clearance since they made them with a matching 13.27" length from the king pin to the first set of bolt holes. It will help reduce chucking and road vibration though. If you went with this pin box you'd want part # MR83QR to match your GVWR to the shear...

  • Troubleshooting Signal Issues With A Furrion Vision S RV Camera System
  • If there's ever an issue with the signal on a Furrion camera system is almost always comes down to lack of power. Plugging in your # FOS43TASF to the monitor cable is giving you a direct 12 volts to the camera whereas when installed on the trailer the truck's 7-way isn't providing enough power to the running light circuit. If you have a newer truck with PWM wiring (like most 2020+ GM trucks) then your camera is getting pulsing power instead of a constant and can't form a connection to the...

  • Limited Tire Clearance with Stock Tire Size on a 2006 Forest River Cherokee 27Q
  • We recommend having a minimum of 3" between the top of the tire and bottom of the fender in order to allow for proper suspension travel. However, based on the photo you sent I believe you need new leaf springs as the ones you have appear to be almost completely flat. This has then compromised your tire clearance. The flattened leaf springs could either be a result of overloading the trailer or just general wear. In order to replace them you would need to know your axle capacity and the...

  • Can I Install a Ductless Furrion Chill Cube in a Ducted Setup?
  • You sure can, Evan. The Furrion Chill Cube RV Air Conditioner w Air Distribution Box - Ductless item # FR27TD will fit inside the same 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" cutout that the ducted Furrion item # FR99TD fits. The systems are set up entirely different so you shouldn't be blowing air into the vents anyways but it wouldn't hurt to put some foam blocks in there. We also have the Ductless Furrion Chill Cube available in White item # FR59TD. Why are you wanting to switch to a ductless setup?

  • Do Westlake ST235/75R15 CR857 Tires Need Changed at 10,000 Miles If They Still Look Good
  • Trailer tires have a lifespan of 5-6 years or 10,000-12,000 miles - whichever comes first. If you were going on a shorter trip I would say you can stretch them out a little more, but since you're almost doubling up their mileage and they are that close to the end of their lifespan I highly recommend replacing them so you can enjoy your trip without constantly thinking about and checking on the tires. For a direct replacement of your Westlake CR857 tire you're looking for the Westlake ST235/75R15...

  • etrailer RV Cover for 2018 Forest River Cherokee 234VFK
  • Hello again Joe; the etrailer RV Cover for Travel Trailers # e97VV does have zippers to allow access with the cover on which can be seen in the video attached below. This will work as long as you measured correctly. You need to measure the body of the travel trailer to the furthest point at the rear (this includes your bumper and spare tire). Do not measure the tongue since it won't be covered. It looks like your 2018 Forest River Cherokee 234VFK has a single AC unit so you need to add...

  • Recommended Bike Rack to Use with the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk
  • I have a great option for you. When using the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier for A-Frame Trailers # CC-275 there are a few parameters you will need to stay within. The bike rack needs to be travel trailer rated, fit a 2" hitch and the combined weight of the bike rack and your bikes needs to be less than 100 lbs. Given these parameters I recommend the Lets Go Aero NEO2 2-Bike Rack # B01748. This 2 bike rack is the lightest weight of the racks that are rated...

  • What is Advantage of Never Fail Tandem Axle Suspension Upgrade Hardware Kit Over Other Options
  • The Never Fail upgrade kits like the # LC281285 have two really distinct advantages. One of them is what you mentioned and is that they don't require greasing or any maintenance. The other is that they last about twice as long as any other heavy duty style of bushing kit. You'll get easily twice the mileage from this kit over anything else.

  • Backup Camera for 2025 Forest River Rockwood Mini Lite 2205S
  • *Updated From Below Hi Michael; I'm sure you're right, it is probably prepped for the Furrion. Since Furrion is phasing out the old Vision S, and parts won't be available soon, you want to get the new Furrion Vision S+ Wireless RV Backup System # FR57AD. If you want the system that comes with the side cameras as well that is the # FR64AD

  • Shorter Replacement Rear Jacks For Lippert Ground Control 3.0 4-Point Leveling Increased Clearance
  • I reached out to Lippert to confirm that you can change out your 24-1/2" rear jacks that come with the 4-Point Lippert Ground Control 3.0 # LC358590 with the Short Left Rear Leg # LC342610 and Short Right Rear Leg # LC428493. They confirmed that there will not be any issues with the control board and the shorter jacks. These jacks are 2" shorter at only 22-1/2" tall and still have the same 12-1/2" of total lift as your current jacks.

Also, if by cap you're meaning the manual override grommet you can use # LC95ED to replace that as well.
