Hello Samuel, and congrats on the new RV! Those things are slick.
The Roadmaster Hitch-Mounted Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 may allow the rear cargo doors to open fully, but clearance depends on your specific door swing and hitch height, so there isn’t a universal yes or no. The carrier itself sits fairly close to the vehicle, which is why measuring is important before committing.
What I recommend is measuring the distance from the top inside edge of your hitch receiver opening to... view full answer...
Hey Joseph, thanks for reaching out. The difference between the yellow and black SumoSprings is the weight capacity or stiffness of the spring.
For the 2018 Ram ProMaster 1500, the black ones part # SSR-307-47 are 1,500 lb capacity. Those are good for simple camper conversions or if you are hauling a lighter trailer. They will reduce sagging and increase stability without making the ride too rough.
The Yellows part # SS67UJ are 2,800 lb capacity so those would be better for larger trailers... view full answer...
Hello Jeffrey. It is possible to use a solar panel to help power your AC unit. The solar panels would serve the purpose of recharging your batteries, and are not used to directly power an AC unit. You would have to have a very large solar panel, along with clear sunny skies in order to generate enough power to run a 13,500 btu AC unit. To properly provide power to your AC you would need an AC/Dc panel like part # PD4045KA, a battery bank (preferably deep cycle), a large solar panel kit... view full answer...
Hey Amelia! Did you find a 1-1/2" diameter anti-sway bar for your 2024 Winnebago Solis 36B? It doesn't look like Roadmaster or Hellwig offer one. The # RM52GR from Roadmaster is 1-1/4" in diameter. Larger diameter typically means more stability. However, it is possible to overdue it and negatively impact ride quality.
If it is too thick you can run into a stiff ride and poor balance. I don't know for sure but, I'm guessing if Roadmaster thought a 1-1/2" would be more beneficial they would... view full answer...
For the Thule Elite Van XT, part # TH302013, Thule recommends Dekalin MS 5, SIKA 252 or Terostat MS937 glue. A 2-way tape can accomplish this, however I recommend going with one of the glues.
Finding a 2-way tape that can handle that amount of weight is difficult. Plus, speaking from experience, 2-way tape fails much more than glue (when they are rated for the same weight). The glue is your best bet. view full answer...
Hello Tom,
Great question. The Aries RidgeStep Running Boards w/ Custom Installation Kit # AA2055539 is designed for the Promaster 2500 and 3500 models, it is not listed to fit your 2021 Promaster 1500.
The closest thing we have to the style you were looking at is the Romik Connect RPD-C Running Boards w/ Custom Install Kit - 6" Wide - Black - Aluminum # RMK68FR for the ProMaster 1500 with 136" wheelbase. I reached out to my contact at Romik to ask where they install, they also install... view full answer...
Hey Charles, we have a yellow set of SumoSprings that fits your 2022 Ram ProMaster 1500 with the part # SSR-313-54. Are you trying to gain a little more stability? view full answer...
Hey Angel, I checked with Curt and the hitch part # C13295 fits all models of the 2024 Ram Promaster except for ones with the remote proximity keyless entry. So as long as your EV model doesn't have that feature this will fit and work great.
If you have the keyless entry you'd instead need the # C13207. view full answer...
Hey RG, anywhere you can get a solid grab with the frame clamps of the Thule Epos part # TH99XE will work great realistically. Technically the higher the mount the better leverage it would have over the bike so that would be a slightly more secure place to use. There's also no reason you couldn't use the Thule Hitch Extender part # TH55JV with this rack and your Promaster. Tilt feature with e-bikes loaded will also work just fine too. view full answer...
Happy to help Bryan, glad you reached out!
Together, these three components will give you a complete 7 way trailer wiring system with an electric brake controller for your ProMaster.
Curt Powered Tail Light Converter # C56190KIT is the 4 way trailer connection that taps into your vehicle's lights and includes the power wire to connect directly to the battery.
Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7 converts the 4 way into a 7 way connector, it has the wiring for the electric brake circuit,... view full answer...
Hey Chris! Even without towing or hauling heavy loads you're going to have a lot of extra weight from that conversion. The best option is going to be the higher rated SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-313-54.
The support from their 2,800 lb capacity definitely won't be overkill for your application. They will do a better job preventing and correcting sway out on the highway and in high winds, while also smoothing out your ride.
Any big trips coming up? view full answer...
Hey Gerard, thanks for reaching out.
You’re good. On the 2023 Promaster 1500, the OEM underbody spare does not block the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM52GR from being installed. That sway bar mounts to the rear axle and frame rails, and it sits forward enough that the spare tire carrier typically is not in the way. Roadmaster designed that kit with the factory configuration in mind.
That said, space is a little tight back there on a Promaster, so during install you just want to make... view full answer...
Hey Marcia, thanks for the pictures. The Thule Elite Van XT 2 Bike Rack for Ram ProMaster Rear Door item # TH302013 definitely fits your 2023 Winnebago Solis NPS however you'll need to take a couple of measurements to see if it's compatible with that spare tire.
How far out does the spare tire stick from the back door and how wide are your handle bars from the center to one of the tips?
Please note that the Thule Elite Van XT 2 item # TH302013 has a 42 lbs maximum capacity for one bike... view full answer...
The best way to charge your auxiliary LiFePO4 Deep Cycle Battery from the main battery of your 2019 Ram ProMaster is with the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1240D.
This was designed for larger batteries and it has a built-in smart charging system that reads what kind of battery is being charged and then it adjusts the amount of power output so that the battery isn't damaged and that it gets the most efficient charge possible. Redarc recommends using the 60-Amp MIDI Fuse... view full answer...
Hey Doug,
The cables built into the Go Power Solar Flex Expansion Kit # 34272629 are 11" in length. If you're needing an extension we offer a few different cable lengths of the positive # GP54ZR (25') and negative # GP34ZR (25') MC4 cables. If the cables are running to another MC4 connection you'll need to pick up part # RED98VR and crimp them onto the cables once you cut them down to your desired length.
If you're needing anything else just let me know and I'd be happy to help. view full answer...
Hey Chuck, that is a good question but yes the mounting holes for a sway bar are present on your 2021 Ram Promaster to allow you to install the Hellwig part # HE74YR that you referenced. What's the handling like now without a rear bar? view full answer...
Hey Loren, the axle of the wheel that comes on the Fulton F2 trailer jack part # F1413040134 that you referenced is 1/2 inch in diameter. We have a replacement wheel for this with the part # F500131. view full answer...
Hello Tom and welcome back! I just spoke to Roadmaster and their Rear Anti-Sway Bar item # RM52GR is going to work with the cargo van model of the 2025 Promaster 1500. He said suspension wise there's not going to be a difference between the cargo and passenger van models.
I was told to give you a heads up that the spacing is pretty tight around the right rear brake caliper.
What are you typically transporting in your van that has you looking at adding a sway bar?

The Thule TracRac TracVan # TH29613XT roof rack is designed to work with 2 pairs of the existing roof rack mounts on a Ram ProMaster. If your Winnebago Travato has those existing connection points on the roof, the TracVan ES roof rack would work perfectly for you. I've linked to a diagram showing what the mounts look like, and where they can be found on the roof. From the online photos I've seen, it appears the exterior of the ProMaster is unchanged from the cargo model, so it's very likely... view full answer...
