I spoke with my contact at SportRack and got the measurements that you will need. First on the front bar the side to side setting is 26. For the back bar it is 24.
The front to back measurements for the front bar measured from the center of the B-pillar forward is 10 inches. And from the center of the front bar back for the placement of the rear bar is 24 inches. view full answer...
For your MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan - Manual Lift - 4 Speed - Smoke # MA00-06401K I recommend running the appropriate wire and not using a converter. Using a converter for power will make installation faster but will also give you a unit that needs to dissipate heat and that is definitely not ideal for use in a tight space. I recommend using # 16-1-1 sold by the foot to wire the unit to 12V DC power. view full answer...
The Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System # BLU37TR referenced in your question is designed to draw power from the battery in the towed vehicle by simply plugging in the included 12V cigarette outlet adapter inside the vehicle.
It's very unlikely that the 12V wire from the RV's 7-Way (which would instead be getting power from the RV's battery) would carry enough amperage to reliably power the Patriot by the time it reached towed vehicle. Because of this and the fact that the install... view full answer...
Thanks for reaching out!
To lock your Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195225 to your Class C motorhome you can use the Roadmaster Quick-Disconnect Padlock # RM-301 in place of the hairpin clip that comes with the carrier. This won't be keyed alike with the other locks that you purchased but it does give you a way to secure the carrier to your hitch receiver.
Aside from that Roadmaster doesn't really have any other solution to lock the carrier, and we don't have any locks... view full answer...
I have attached a photo of the EcoHitch Hidden 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver installed on a 2012 Ford Focus Electric. The hitch is designed to fit 2012 through 2014 Ford Focus Electric vehicles.
If you're in the market for a bike rack, the Swagman XTC-2 2-Bike Platform Rack # S64670 would pair up nicely with the EcoHitch receiver.
If instead, you plan on towing a small trailer, you may consider the following parts to complete your towing package:

I have a great solution for you. Unfortunately, the Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches # Y02445 does not have a long enough ratcheting arm to allow you to attach your KBO e-bike to the frame tubes. With that being said, here at etrailer, we do not recommend using a wheel-mounted attachment style with bikes that have fenders. The reason why we discourage this is because the ratcheting arm could shift during transport and potentially crack or damage the fenders.
However,... view full answer...
You would need to use the Allen key to remove the Rhino-Rack roof rack # RR78MR every time. But it isn't as difficult or time-consuming as it sounds. After you have done the initial installation and have taken the rack off and put it back on a couple of times, it might take you all of 5 minutes to remove it or put it back on. I have included links to a video review and the instructions for you. view full answer...
In order to remove the hub/drum on your trailer you will want to first remove the spindle nut. Once the spindle nut is removed you are going to want to take a hammer and tap the outer portion of the drum as well as the hub face a few times to break loose an rust/dirt. You should then be able to pull the drum off. Once the drum is off you can wipe down the spindle and then spray the braking assemblies with brake cleaner. You can then install the drum and spindle nut. The spindle nut will... view full answer...
The 3/4" plywood floor will be thick enough to install the B&W Biker Bar Motorcycle Tie-Down System # BWMC2301 and use with your Harley Touring.
If you take a look at the accompanying cutout of the directions I added, it states "The platform which the product will be attached to must be strong enough to withstand the forces associated with securely holding and transporting a motorcycle (properly supported 3/4" plywood equivalent or higher)." view full answer...
I did some checking and it looks like the automatic transmission 2012 Ford Focuses can be flat towed as long as you keep it under 70 MPH. I would still recommend checking the owners manual for recommendations on this as well.
For a base plate kit you would want the part # RM-524430-5 which is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. See install video.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle.... view full answer...
Thank you for the photos of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11294 install on your 2007 Ford Focus.
While it does look like you have the hitch in the correct position, I do have a few things for you to check. The first few being that your hitch is lined up correctly, and that the hitch mounting brackets didn't get bent during shipping (which happens often enough that I've attached our help article on this).
The reason those questions are the first to look into is because you not only... view full answer...
According to page 258 of the online owner's manual for your 2012 Ford Focus it will need to be in the Neutral position for flat towing. Since you were asking about putting it in park that would indicate you have an automatic transmission. I have taken a screenshot of the manual for you to reference but you should also check your copy of the owner's manual.
For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking... view full answer...
It looks like you have purchased wiring harness # 18252 which is correct for a 2004 Ford Focus. This vehicle does not require a converter because it has what is called a combined lighting system. This means the brake lights and turn signals are combined onto one circuit. This is the same way most trailers are wired.
You will use the included circuit tester to tech the wires behind the tail lights on the vehicle. Starting on the drivers side, where you will be attaching 3 of the wires,... view full answer...
According to the installation instructions for the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 24872, you should use a file to enlarge the frame access hole on your 2014 Ford Focus. You will want to enlarge the hole just enough to get the hardware through.
I have attached a snapshot of the instructions with this section highlighted.
We do not recommend altering or modifying the mounting hardware in any way. view full answer...
I have an installation video for you to check out that shows how to install the Tow Ready version of the Curt Harness part # C56140 in a 2012 Focus that is similar to yours. The two harnesses are very similar and would basically install the exact same.
I also attached an FAQ on routing the power wire from wiring harnesses for you to check out. view full answer...
It depends on what wiring harness you are using on your 2012 Ford Focus. If you are using a hardwire harness where you have to find and splice in the wires from the harness to the tail light wiring on the vehicle, you will need to use a circuit tester to find the correct wires on the vehicle.
If you do not have a circuit tester you can use # PTW2993. Have someone sit in the vehicle and go through the lighting functions; turn signals, running lights, and brake lights, while you test the... view full answer...
I pulled up the owners manual of your 2016 Ford Focus and it states that the only way you can tow the vehicle behind a motorhome will be with a tow dolly like the Demco Kar Karddy SS # DM9713045 which would suspend the front drive axle and only the rear wheels would roll. view full answer...
I confirmed with SportRack that their square bar roof rack system # SR1002 is indeed a correct fit for your 2010 Ford Focus 4-door. I reviewed an installation video for a similar Yakima roof rack on a 2011 Focus 4-door and this video is linked for you. If you refer to the 52-second mark in the video you'll see how the clamp for that Yakima rack is positioned on the roof line, above the weather stripping. I also linked a close-up photo image from the video. Your SR1002 clamps will install... view full answer...
The air pressure in the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700 will slowly release the pressure until it is down to zero when you disconnect your 2017 Ford Focus from your motorhome. It won't drop all of the sudden once disconnected. I reached out to my contact at Roadmaster who confirmed this. view full answer...
The Draw-Tite # 75270 is a fit for a Honda Odyssey, and wouldn't fit your 2016 Ford Focus hatchback.
We don't publish the torque numbers because they can change over time, but the installation instructions for the hitches mentioned below are linked for you, and each install sheet does clearly list the torque values.
The hitch you need will depend on which sub-model Focus you have. For the RS, I'd recommend the Curt # C11489. For the S ,SE or Titanium model, I'd go with a concealed crossbar... view full answer...
