  • Fifth Wheel and Gooseneck Hitch for 2020 Chevy Silverado Short Bed w/ Factory Tow Prep Pkg
  • Demco offers a reasonably priced sliding fifth wheel hitch that would work well for your 2020 Silverado 3/4 ton. For a 16K capacity sliding hitch, use the Demco Hijacker Premium Series Ultra Slide # DM6076P-UL-16K or for a 21K capacity hitch use # DM6076P-UL-21K. Either hitch would instal using the # DM6333 adapter. If the dealer didn't supply the safety chain hooks and the gooseneck ball, we can help you there. You'd need the Curt # C60692. The ball and hooks have a 30K capacity.

  • Best Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500
  • The fifth wheel hitch I most often recommend is the Companion by B&W, because of how well constructed, durable and easy to use it is. The Companion uses an extremely strong 1 inch thick hitch jaw that tightly holds the fifth wheel king pin. This provides for a great ride, unlike some of the entry level hitches where the king pin can rattle around in the hitch, transferring each one of those bangs and crashes to the tow vehicle. The actual hitch you need will depend on whether your hitch...

  • Recommended Auto Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 Short Bed
  • The hitch you need will depend on whether your truck is equipped with the factory tow/prep package with the pucks sunk into the truck bed and the weight capacity you're looking for. For a truck equipped with the tow prep package, for a 18K rated hitch go with The Demco Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550034 and the # DM6194 install adapter. For a 21K capacity, use the # DM8550035 hitch along with the same # DM6194 adapter. If your truck doesn't have the pucks in the truck bed, use the # DM8550022...

  • Roof Rack for 2020 Mazda CX-5 Lease Vehicle That Is Easily Removable
  • I have the perfect roof rack option for your 2020 Mazda CX5. I recommend the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack part # 298-SX6000B which is designed with air tight vacuum cups to attach the roof. The installation is so easy you can remove the rack and put it back on in minutes without any additional tools. Simply press the pump on each cup several times until you no longer see orange on the cup. Then you can pull up on the tab to remove the cup when it's time to remove it. The cups have a...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation For 2020 Subaru BRZ
  • I recommend the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit part # 306-X7293 for the 2020 Subaru BRZ which is a great option because of it's hidden cross tube design. The EcoHitch hitch receiver is removable so when you are not using the hitch is will practically be invisible on the Subaru. It is a 2x2 receiver so it is compatible with bike racks with 2" shanks.

  • Recommendation for Best Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2019 Ford F350 RWD Long Bed
  • The exact hitch needed will depend on whether your 2019 Ford F350 has the factory tow prep package with the pucks in the bed or not. When it comes to trouble-free performance, durability and ease of use, you can't go wrong with B&W 5th wheel hitches. When somebody asks for the best, that's where we point them. The B&W Companion offers massive 1 inch thick jaws that contact the king pin all the way around for a smooth rattle free ride. Not having full contact causes the jerking and banging...

  • Hitch Recommendation For 2019 BMW X5
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76288 is a solid choice for all X5 models excluding M Model X5s. With solid steel construction and attractive gloss-black finish, this hitch will more than do the job for carrying your two bikes. With regard to bike racks, I recommend the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Platform Rack # KU74FR as a fantastic choice should you be looking at either acquiring or upgrading. This rack is very popular because it's platform-style rack that has lower,...

  • How to Trim Bumper Fascia When Installing etrailer.com Trailer Hitch on 2019 Honda CR-V
  • The etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98848 does require some fascia to be trimmed during installation (it's what allows for the hitch's sleek hidden design) and I can absolutely help you with this process. I have attached an image from the install manual below that shows exactly how much needs to be cut. As for actually cutting it, there are various possible methods, but you can use a rotary tool if you have one around or even a simple pair of snips. The material isn't overly thick...

  • Flat Tow Wiring Needed For 2020 Jeep Wrangler
  • The best option for flat tow wiring on the 2020 Jeep Wrangler is Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit part # RM-15267. This will provide a 6-Way round harness on the front of the Jeep Wrangler that you can to your RV with the included flexible coiled cable. If you are planning on using a supplemental braking system, you will need a stop light switch kit part # RM-751490 which will alert you when the Wranger's brakes are being applied while flat towing. To complete...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for 2019 Mazda CX-5
  • Curt and Tekonsha both offer wiring harnesses for your CX-5. The Tekonsha model is # 118746 and the Curt is # C56377. Both install in the same manner, by plugging inline between the vehicle's taillight assemblies and the wiring harness that feeds them. No cutting or splicing required. Because the Tekonsha # 118746 has a higher amperage rating 5 amps/each stop/turn circuit and 7 amps/each taillight circuit as opposed to 3 amp/6 amps for the Curt model, I'd recommend the Tekonsha. Aside...

  • Troubleshooting Lights Not Working on Right Side of Trailer
  • I'm not sure which specific lights on the trailer's right side aren't working, but based on how trailers are wired I'm going to assume that it's just the brake/turn signals. If the running lights aren't working either please just let me know. With this type of issue the first thing I recommend doing is taking a circuit tester like # PTW2979 and testing the right side turn/brake light circuit pin on the truck's connector (3 o'clock position on a 7-Way or the furthest right side pin on...

  • Is RockyMounts MonoRail Compatible with E-Bike That Has Fenders
  • We do have bike racks for your application but since the RockyMounts MonoRail 2 Bike Platform Rack # RKY10003 secures bikes by the wheel the ratcheting arm need to rest right where front fender is located. Instead you need to use a bike rack that secures the bike by the frame. We have 2 different styles in the same price-range as the MonoRail with the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY74FR and the Saris Freedom # SA4412B-R. The Sport Rider SE uses the same type of ratcheting arm as the...

  • Parts Needed to Install Hayes Syncronizer on 2001 Toyota Tundra with Factory 4-Way Flat Connector
  • Thank you for all of the info! If you already have a 4-Way wiring connector on your 2001 Toyota Tundra then you just need the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7 and the Wiring Adapter # HA81789-HBC to install your father's Hayes Syncronizer Trailer Brake Controller # HA81725. The universal wiring kit plugs into your 4-Way and then comes with the extra wiring and connectors needed to route the wiring to your battery and cab to make the 7-Way fully-functional.

  • Can Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller Be Used with Electric-Over-Hydraulic Brakes
  • I do have a great option for you, however the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller # TK90160 is only compatible with electric brakes and will not work with electric-over-hydraulic systems. For a similarly-priced proportional controller that is compatible with both electric and electric-over-hydraulic brakes, I highly recommend the Curt TriFlex # C24VV. This is also a proportional controller so it will apply the brakes at the same time and with the same intensity as the brake pedal...

  • Availability of Cover for 32 x 24 x 18 5th Wheel Hitch
  • The largest 5th wheel hitch cover we have is the Classic Accessories Cover # CA80116 which measures 24" x 24" x 18". Even though it is a bit smaller than your 5th wheel hitch we have had a number of customers use it to cover the majority of their 5th wheel hitch (see pictures on product page). So while it isn't a perfect fit, it will do a decent job of covering most of your 5th wheel hitch to help protect it from the elements.

  • Vent Cover Replacement for Ventline Ventadome model V2094
  • I'm happy to point you in the right direction. However, parts like replacement roof vent covers are not trailer specific, so you'll either need: a) The vent model number (found on the inside of the metal frame). OR b) The dimensions and style of hinge (see attached photo). For example, if you have a Ventline Ventadome model V2094, the correct replacement lid is # BVD0449-A01, which uses a continuous hinge and fits a standard 14-1/4 W x 14-1/4 L inch rough roof opening.

  • Recommended Tonneau Cover for 5th Wheel Towing with 2020 Ford F-350
  • For your 2020 Ford F-350 (congrats on the new truck, by the way) I highly recommend the BAK Revolver X4 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK79331. The reason I specifically recommend this cover for your particular setup (beyond the fact that it's just a great cover) is its unique design that features the durability of hard cover with its 1/4" thick rustproof aluminum slats combined with the convenience of a soft roll-up cover. Because of this rolling design you are still going to have a clear view...
