Expert Answers about Starcraft


  • Recommended Replacement Converter for a Elixir ELX-45
  • I have a solution for you but there isn't just a replacement converter section for the Elixir ELX-45. You're going to need to replace the entire panel with the Progressive Dynamics Mighty Mini AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger item # PD4045KA. This is a 2-in-1 AC/DC distribution panel and smart charger that works with lithium-ion, flooded lead acid, AGM, and gel batteries. I have linked a review video below.

  • Why Would The Lippert Power Stance Work Off The Auxiliary Cord And Not The Coach Battery?
  • It sounds like you have one of two possible issues with the Lippert Power Stance Electric Trailer Jack # LC89VR. First there is a fuse on the power wire that is not present on the Auxiliary Power Cord # LC79VR. Be sure to check the fuse. The second issue to check is your ground connection. Since your trailer frame is painted as well as the jack the mounting brackets do not always make the best contact. The jack uses the frame as the ground circuit so you may need to grind off some of...

  • Troubleshooting Curt Triflex Brake Controller Showing OL Code on Display
  • The Curt Triflex brake controller is known to have more problems than other brake controllers so I would not rule out the problem being the controller. Testing the brake controller is fairly easy. Sever the blue brake output wire near the brake controller leaving enough room to reconnect it and then apply the manual slide. Using a circuit tester like the Quickee Tester, part # PTW2993, you should get output to the controller side of the wire you severed. If the manual slide activates...

  • Does etrailer Mount Wheels and Tires
  • Hi Jimm; mounting wheels and tires is not something we are able to do. The only way to get them mounted from us is if it is listed as a wheel and tire combo. If you purchase the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20245 and Karrier ST185/80R13 # KE68KV you will have to mount it yourself or take it to a local shop.

  • Replacement Powered Landing Gear for Horse Trailer to Replace Atwood
  • Hey William, the closest jack set we have to your Atwood setup would be the Reese powered landing gear part # RP500708 which is the only dual motor setup we have that has same mounting bracket dimensions as what you currently have. You would need to replace the switch setup you have now with what comes with this kit but aside from that it's a similar setup. Atwood got out of the jack business several years ago so there isn't an exact replacement available which is why this is your best...

  • Need To Replace Weather Stripping For Front Of 2003 Starcraft Travelstar
  • Hello Joe, thanks for getting in touch. We have a few different options for weatherstripping, but this kind of stuff is not model specific, so there is no way to know exactly what you will need just by going off the model of trailer. The best way to find the correct weatherstrip is to remove a small piece and measure the side profile. For example the Rubber Window Edge Weather Strip for RVs # SR66ZR is 1/2" tall and 1/4" wide as you can see in the picture below. Your best bet will be to...

  • Replacement Bearings and Grease Seal for Lippert Axle LCI35-SB-67.62-53.0-NOSP-US-L-545-7213
  • Hey Ryan! I sent that information to Lippert and despite the weight rating of 2,200 lbs it has a 3,500 lb axle spindle. I thought that was the case since LCI35 indicates 3,500 lbs but usually the axle rating isn't that much lower. Based on this information the correct replacement bearings are the # BK2-100 or if you want the Timken version # TMK52VR. What kind of trailer do you have?

  • Recommended Bike Rack To Carry 4 Bikes Behind a 2006 Starcraft Centennial Pop Up Camper
  • I recommend the Yakima LongHaul RV Bike Rack # Y02476 as the best option for your 2006 Starcraft Centennial camper. You will want to verify the measurement from the hitch pin center hole to the back of the spare tire is at least 9" to allow the bike rack to fit. This rack is capable of carrying 4 bikes up to 37.5lbs each and you will need an Adapter Bar # Y02531 if you have an alternative frame bike.

  • Replacement 14" Tire for 2014 Starcraft Comet
  • Hey Kelly! It looks like our information shows your tire size is 205/75R14. However, I would double check the tire size on the side of your existing tires to see if that matches. Are you looking for just a tire or a wheel and tire combo? Assuming you have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern the Kenda Karrier KR53 ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire with 14" Black Mod Wheel # KE75EV would be a great replacement. If you just need the tire you can use the # KE28KV. I wouldn't get too caught up in the differences...

  • What Weight Distribution Hitch with Sway Control do You Recommend for My 29-Foot 7,500 Trailer?
  • For your 7,500 pound camper with a tongue weight of 500 pounds, the 500 pounds is most likely the dry weight. With that being said, you most likely have a loaded tongue weight of around 750 - 1,000 pounds. This weight is important to determine the correct firmness of the setup. With that factor in mind, I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Round - 10,000 lbs GTW, 1,000 lbs TW # FA94-00-1000. The e2 comes with side-to-side sway control to dramatically...

  • Replacement Vent Lid for 2006 Starcraft Travel Star Travel Trailer
  • Replacement vent lids like # BV0554-01 are best selected by confirming which style of hinge is used on the vent. If you refer to the linked photo you will see the four basic types commonly found on trailer roof vents. These are the 3-point, 4-point, continuous metal and continuous plastic types. The part # BV0554-01 you referenced uses a continuous metal hinge. Now simply use the linked page to our vent cover page to choose the hinge type by clicking on the appropriate filter, and then...

  • Hello John, I am sure we have what you are looking for, but I do not have a database that supplies me with what is put on what trailer. It sounds like you may be referring to the pitch arm like Replacement Pitch Arm for Solera Flat RV Awnings w/ 69" Long Support Arms - Black - Qty 1 # LC375994. Is this the part you are searching for? If not, can you please respond directly to the email you receive with a picture of the part you need?

  • Availability Of Replacement Boot Cover For ETJ 3500-2 Jack
  • Hey Joe, thanks for reaching out. We get this question from time to time and we have found that the switch on the ETJ 3500-2 jack is unique, so nothing we offer will fit. You will need to reach out to FIC Jack Services to see if they have a replacement. Assuming they do, I recommend adding a cover like # UF38-944020 once you replace it to help keep it protected and extend the life of the jack and new switch.

  • Replacement AC for Dometic 15k on 2017 Grand Design Reflection 27RL
  • Hey Ken! It definitely sounds like it is time to replace your Dometic AC. The Advent Air you're referencing has been phased out since everything switched to R32 refrigerant this year. On top of that, we no longer recommend simply swapping out the rooftop unit unless it is the same brand and model due to compatibility issues. We really don't want customers installing a new AC only to find out it doesn't work and they still need to order a thermostat and new air distribution box to get it...

  • Replacement Entry Door And Exterior Compartment Door Locks For A 2017 Starcraft Autumn Ridge TT
  • Hi Tina, If your trailer has Global Link locks and you know your key code we can get you replacement keys. To replace a door lock or storage lock you'll need to measure the cutout hole to see what what would fit. On the back side of the latch you should be able to remove a few screws and pop off the whole backing plate to see the cutout hole. You can measure the width and height and then we can see what fits. The Global Link # 295-000019 is a really common size for most travel trailers....

  • What Air Conditioner will Replace My Duo Therm Air Condtioner 57915.541 13,500 BTU?
  • Hello Robert, There is a good reason why you are not able to find a good replacement. The RV air conditioner refrigerant went from the R410a to the R32 this year. The R32 is more efficient making it better for the environment and the consumer, a win-win in my book. The downfall to the new refrigerant is that you can no longer use the R410a parts with the new R32 parts, so this will require for you to get a whole new set-up. Since your current duo therm was a 13,500 BTU I recommend...
