  • I don't believe we have an exact match but we do have pins that you could potentially retro-fit to your trailer such as # F719-182Z104. The benefit of this design is that you can't lose the pins. I have included a link below to this and other options that are similar.

  • Mounting Tool Box and Changing to Larger Tires on Lees-ure Lite Camper
  • You could potentially mount a trailer tongue toolbox like the White Buyers Products # 3371701679 to a pole tongue like what's on your Lees-ure Lite Camper but it's going to require some custom/fabricated brackets. You would need to first come up with a plate wide enough to support the toolbox base and then either bolt or weld it to the tongue. Honestly your best option to create some more cargo space for tools or other items would be to mount a small chest or even a cargo bag like the...

  • Replacement Tire and Wheel for a TeeNee Trailer with 4.80/4.00-8 Tires
  • Are the wheels on your TeeNee Trailer hub piloted or lug piloted? If they are lug piloted then you would only need to make sure the size of the pilot hole on the wheel exceeds that of your trailer hub. It does not need to match this or the wheel you have now. Therefore, the Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel part # AM30000 with a 2.5" pilot hole should work for you but if not we have the Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" Galvanized Wheel part # AM30010 which...

  • Recommendation for Tent to Connect to Back of 2019 Ford Transit Connect
  • We certainly do! For your 2019 Ford Transit Connect the Rightline Gear SUV Tent # RL110907 will work great. Its alligator clamping sleeve will securely attach around the rear of the vehicle and allow you to use that roomy cargo area on your Transit Connect as additional living space while camping. The rain fly cover can also extend over the windows to help block any rain from entering. I have attached a short video demonstration on this tent that you can also check out.

  • Trailer Hitch and Swing-Away Adapter Recommendations for a 2013 Ford Transit Connect
  • The trailer hitch I recommend installing on your 2013 Ford Transit Connect is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e94KR because of the matte black finish that not only makes it look more rugged but also protects it better from the elements than the standard glossy black finish we see on all of the other trailer hitches that fit your vehicle. Then for a swing-away adapter I highly recommend the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away # PVP20B because it's secured and solid but still really easy to operate...

  • Can a Trailer Battery be Charged with a 7-Way Trailer Connector
  • The 12 volt power circuit of your 7-way would not be able to charge a dead trailer battery, but it can put a light maintenance charge on it so that it stays topped off while you are travelling. The circuit is most likely protected by a 40 amp fuse, but that does not mean that it can provide 40 amps of charging power to your battery. That just means that if something tried to draw more than 40 amps the fuse would pop. For a charger that you could use to charge your battery when it is parked...

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement for 2018 Ford Transit Connect Long Wheel Base
  • Currently we only have the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System - Rear Axle # TFRTCA for your 2018 Ford Transit Connect. It will work with the Long Wheel Base frame as well as the standard wheel base frame. Unfortunately we don't yet have and adjustable air ride option, but the Timbren system will help support your load, reduce body roll, and progressively get more rigid as weight is added. I've attached a video to assist as well as the installation instructions.

  • Attaching Solar Panels to Roof Rack that Fits 2012 Ford Transit Connect Rhino Rack Roof Rack

  • What PSI Does Vent Cap of DeeZee Truck Bed Auxiliary Tank Release Pressure
  • I spoke with my contact at DeeZee and the cap of the DeeZee Truck Bed Auxiliary Tank # DZ91752X that you referenced starts to vent at 4 psi. I also showed them the picture you sent in and they said they weren't able to give directions on how it should be wired or installed as it's not one of their pumps. You shouldn't have to vent the tank beyond the cap it already has though.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2022 Ford Transit Connect
  • The best hitch option for your 2022 Ford Transit Connect is the Curt part # C13167 as it's a 2 inch hitch which means it has better towing capacities and is the hitch that most accessories are made for like bike racks/cargo carriers. If you plan to do some towing yes you would need trailer wiring, but if you didn't have plans to tow it would not be needed. The best trailer wiring kit would be the # 118613.

  • How Can I Carry A Canoe On My 2021 Ford Transit Connect
  • The Malone SeaWing Kayak Carrier and Load Assist w/ Tie-Downs - Rear Loading - Clamp On, part # MPG113MD, carries kayaks by cradling the hull. Canoes should be carried upside down. Kayak carriers are not designed to conform to the shape of a canoe, so you could damage the hull. The safest way to transport a canoe is on its gunwales. The Malone BigFoot Pro Canoe Carrier with Tie-Downs - Gunwale Brackets - Side Loading - Clamp On, part # MPG112MD, is a good option for carrying a canoe....

  • Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller in a 2016 Ford Transit
  • To install a brake controller in your 2016 Ford Transit Connect tou will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # C56218. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7.

  • Recommended Tie-Down Loops for Thule TracRac TracVan ES Van Ladder Rack
  • In order to add tie-down loops to your Thule TracRac TracVan Ladder Rack # TH29611XT, I recommend the Thule Tie-Downs # TH25100. This kit includes 2 tie-down loops and the needed hardware. The Aluminum Shim Kit # TH29700 that you also referenced is designed for use on vans that have curved rain gutters to ensure that the crossbars on the roof sit at the same height. If the crossbars on your Ford Transit Connector sit at different heights, then adding the shim kit will definitely help...

  • Best Roof Rack for a 2019 Ford Transit Connect with Flush Rails
  • We have roof racks that are compatible with the 2019 Ford Transit Connect. I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars, part # TH711400. They're aero-style crossbars, so they're much quieter and cause less wind drag than other styles. They also have a t-slot on top, making them compatible with almost all accessories. I've linked to a video review of these crossbars for you to look at. To mount these to your van, you will need the Evo Flush Rail Feet, part # TH710601, and the Fit Kit for...
