  • How Tight to Get Spindle Nut of Trailer Hub on Malone Microsport Trailer
  • Hey Richard, what you did is closer to the correct way than shooting for a torque spec. This is what we generally recommend: The nut is ran down until there is no side to side play in the hub, and then backed off to the next notch in the castle nut so the retainer can secure the nut. Over-tightening the castle nut can damage the bearings, races and spindle. If you click on the video link I provided down below, and fast forward to the 4:45 minute mark, you can see the procedure.

  • Bearing Kit and Bearing Buddy that Fits Malone MicroSport Trailer
  • Hey Richard, the correct bearing kit would be the part # BK1-150 since your spindles are 1-1/6 inch in diameter for both bearing surfaces. The correct Bearing Buddies for the Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG460G are the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB1980A-SS. How do you like the MicroSport so far?

  • Where to Measure to Pick Out RV Storage Cover
  • When measuring to pick out an RV storage cover you need to measure the box length. What that means is not including propane tanks, ladder, coupler, AC units, or trailer jacks. Just the "box" portion of the camper would be all that you'd need. If you let me know what camper you have I can see what would work best but the part # 052963731637 that you referenced would fit from 17-20 foot campers.

  • Replacement Breakaway Switch for a Esco Breakaway Kit
  • Hey Edward, thanks for the pictures. I'm not sure where the junction box is located on your 2014 R-Vision trailer. You'll want to follow the wires from the 7-way to locate it.

The switches are universal. If you have any additional questions, go ahead and throw them into the comment box below and I'll...

  • How to Choose Correct Valterra Double RV Waste Valves Replacement
  • You should be able to tell which Valterra Double RV Waste Valves you need by inspecting your current connection points. The one end with the lugs on it is the same on all 3 parts so you simply need to determine if you need hubs, spigots, or a combination of both. A hub connection fits around the spigot so you just need to check the other side of your waste valves to see if the adapter has fittings that connect on the inside or outside of the pipe they are connected to. Then you just need...

  • You want between 1/4" and 1/2" of preload on the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs item # TSS-106-40.

Steps 2 and 3 will walk you...

  • Which Hitch Balls Are Compatible With The Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution Hitch C17499?
  • It sounds like you are asking which hitch ball is correct for the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution Hitch # C17499 you were looking at.

  • Replacement Trailer Brake Recommendations for a 2006 R-Vision Trail-Cruiser TC21DBL
  • According to the information I found it looks like your trailer is equipped with tandem 3,500 lb axles so for replacement brakes I recommend the Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-35-SA which has self-adjusting brakes. Once you perform the initial installation and adjustment they will keep up with the self-adjusting so you don't have to manually get in and adjust them when they are weak. If you have different axle capacities let me know and I can make a different recommendation for you.

  • Recommended Slide Topper For A 91-3/4" Flange To Flange Measurement
  • I spoke with a Lippert tech and confirmed that you'd be able to go with the Solera RV Slide-Out Awning - 8'1" Wide - 48" Projection - White Item # LCV000163289 as long as you had the clearance for the arms. The Arms are going to stick out approximately 7 or 8 inches on both sides past the flange. If you do not have the clearance then the # LCV000163288 is the correct size for your slide-out.
