  • Does Curt Trailer Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier Have a Weight Capacity
  • According to Curt, the Curt Trailer Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier # c31006 does not have a specific weight capacity. The reason is, this is designed to carry any size spare tire, and so its capacity is essentially whatever the tongue weight capacity of your trailer hitch is. I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well of the Curt Trailer Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier # c31006.

  • Will Upgrading to ST145/R12 Load Range E Tires Help Prevent Blowouts?
  • Increasing your load range could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the situation. If your trailer isn't pushing the load capacity of your current tires, then I wouldn't worry too much about increasing the load range to prevent blow outs. If you are using bias ply tires, then upgrading to radial tires will have a significant impact because radial tires are much better suited to highway/paved road travel. The cords in the rubber are more suitable to flex which allows for more...

  • Dimensions Of Base For Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Adapter DM8550045
  • The base of the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Single Jaw - 21,000 lbs # DM8550045 you were looking at is 30" wide and 28" long, and 7-1/2" tall as you can see in the included diagram. The opening is 3-1/4" square and will only work with the Demco Recon Head Unit. You will not be able to use it with a square gooseneck ball as that is not what it was designed or tested for, and attempting to do would void the warranty of the adapter. I included a video of the...

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement for a 2016 Coachmen Leprechaun 319-DS
  • Thanks for the pictures! For your 2016 Coachmen Leprechaun, I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs item # F22ZR. I really like the Firestone airbags because they use a crimp rolled design which is much more durable than the band clamp used with the Air Lift kits like item # AL88242. These air bags have a 5,000 lbs capacity that will level out the rear end of your motorhome when you are flat towing your Jeep Liberty. All the mounting brackets and hardware are included for...

  • Leaf Spring & Equalizer Upgrade For 2020 Coachmen Spirit 2963BH
  • Let's go ahead and start with the double-eye leaf springs, and we have exactly what you are looking for, which are springs rated higher than your 3,500 lb axle, and with the length you need.

  • Potential Roof Rack Option For 2006 Roadtrek 170
  • Certainly nothing that is any type of custom fit but you might be able to use something that mounts to tracks such as the Rhino-Rack RT-Style Roof Rack Tracks - Rivet Mount - 66" Long # RRRTV168. Then you'd need the right crossbar length to go with Legs # RRRLT600H. I'm not sure what your roof measures so I've added a link below to our selection of tracks and you can filter through them by size.

  • Recommended Tire Chains for Easiest Install on LT215/85 R16 Tires
  • The easiest tire chains to install are the Konig Tire Chains item # TH01594245 you were looking at. These are what's called a drape over style. They have built-in assisted tensioning that automatically tightens around your tires as you drive. The diamond pattern offers constant traction and a smoother ride compared to your standard ladder pattern chain. I have linked an installation video below so you can see how to get these chains installed. If you're not familiar with tire chains I...

  • What Does the Capacity Mean for Sumo Springs on a 2018 Coachmen Freelander
  • This is a great question and one that can cause some confusion. SumoSprings capacity is determined by how much weight it takes to compress the spring down to 50% of its original body height, so a spring like the # SSF-106-40 will compress down to half of it's unweighted height with 500-lbs of pressure. The # SSF-106-47 is going to be a stronger spring with it's 1000-lbs capacity. Keep in mind, these aren't designed to upgrade the GVWR, but they're designed to help cushion the load that...

  • What Size Cutout Is Needed For Furrion 2-Zone Sound Bar
  • While I wasn't able to get an exact cutout dimensional sheet from Furrion, I was able to find some dimensions that you can use to get an idea of what kind of cutout you need (see attached). The Furrion RV Sound bar w/ USB Charge # FSB2N25MCBL mounts flush to the wall so the cutout only needs to accommodate the back part of the stereo and the speakers. The stereo measures 10-15/16" wide x 2-3/8" deep and then the outermost speakers are 25-7/8" apart on center. You'll want your cutout to...

  • What is the Size Difference in Inches Between a 205/75/14 and 225/75/14 Tire
  • Tires like the Kenda Karrier 225/75r14 # AM10256 are going to be 1.2" taller and 0.7" wider than your 205/75r14 tires, so as long as you've got that much clearance to the fenders (at the top) and trailer frame (on the inside), you can use the larger tires as a replacement. You'll also want to make sure you've got about 3" of clearance from the top of the fender to the tires as well, when changing tire sizes.

  • What is The Maximum Temperature Recommended For the Castle Rock ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire?
  • Most TPMS sensors like the TST TPMS for RVs # TST-507-RV-4-C will come with the tire temperature warning set for 158 degrees Fahrenheit. This is typically a good point for the alarm to be set in most climates on the Castle Rock ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # 274-000029. Do note in much colder climates the temperature may never come close to this temperature unless it is near failure or the tires are misaligned on your trailer. Once a tire begins to climb over this temperature there is...

  • What Is The Weight Rating Of The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock e98880
  • Trailer Hitch Pins like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches - Flush - 2-5/8" Span - Chrome # e98880 and # e98881 you were looking at do not have a specific weight rating due to them being so much stronger than the rest of the components used for towing. A hitch pins like the # e98880 and # e98881 will still be holding long after the tow bar, ball mount, or trailer hitch receiver has failed. As an example a rough sheer strength of a similar 5/8" diameter bolt is nearly...

  • Recommended Reversible MaxxFan Mini Roof Vent
  • That is correct. The MaxxAir MaxxFan Mini Roof Vent item # MA00-04401M is not reversible, it only moves air one way which is out. For a reversible fan you will want the MaxxFan Plus Roof Vent item # MA00-04500K. It has a ten speed fan motor, powered lift, thermostat, rain sensor, remote, and most importantly is reversible. I have linked an installation video below to help you get it set up.

  • How to Determine Axle Weight Rating on a 1983 24 Coachmen Travel Trailer
  • I can help you determine the weight rating of the axles on your 1983 Coachmen travel trailer but there are a lot of models out there and since your trailer is a pretty old model it is very possible that someone could have changed out the axles and there is no way of knowing if they actually put exact replacements on it (unless a record was kept of course). To determine the immediate weight rating of your axles you can simply look at the GAWV (gross axle weight rating) which can be located...
