Hey Shawn, congrats on the new 5th wheel trailer. The Watchdog Power Center Surge Protector and Voltage Booster item #HU74ZR is all you're going to need. Adding in the Power Watchdog Surge Protector item #HU82VR would be redundant. The item…
I spoke with my contact at Lippert and he confirmed that the Lippert Components Power Tongue Jack 1817941 #LC285318 can be rotated to be best orientated for you. The jack can be un-bolted, rotated, and reinstalled.
Good thinking, Andy good name btw. The Watchdog Surge Protector / Voltage Booster 50A #HU74ZR is a hefty unit, but it does sit outside at the pedestal, so security matters. It has a metal loop built in for a padlock or cable lock, which you can run…
Hey Lorenzo. Your 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 has what's called Pulse Wave Modulation, which will not provide the wireless cameras with the correct power it needs to run when connected. This is a power saving feature in newer trucks. To fix…
I do have a possible solution for you but unfortunately there aren't any battery boxes available that will hold two 12V batteries and fit within a 21" length and 8" width. The closest thing we have is the TorkLift PowerArmor Locking…
Hello Phil! Sure can! The Lippert 3,500 lb axles use a standard brake size and bearing combination, so we can absolutely provide self-adjusting brakes and new hubs for that. Here is what I recommend: - etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes -…
Hey David, do you mean to cut the plug off of the Watchdog Power Center Surge Protector and Voltage Booster #HU74ZR and then wire it to your RV outlet? If so, it would be just a matter of cutting and stripping wires to pull this off.
The holes on the bottom of the TorkLift PowerArmor Locking Battery Box #TLA7700L aren't necessarily designed for mounting the box and are really there to allow moisture to escape and as access holes for wiring. According to the instructions there…

Hey Eric, I know you mentioned you were installing the Vision S+ camera, is the monitor as well a vision S+ monitor or is it the monitor for the old Vision S system? The 2 systems components are not compatible with each other so the camera and…
Hello Tony, I really wish I had a database that tells me exactly what goes on each camper, but unfortunately, I don’t. Based on my research, you should have a 4,400-pound axle (you can double-check your axle tag to confirm). If it is NOT a Lippert…
I was able to find the exact replacement amber (1A-S-20A) and red (1A-S-20R) lenses. I did a Google search on kaper2 (or Kaper II), and found replacement lenses. Their replacement lenses are shown as measuring 4 inches long, by 2 inches wide by 3/4…

Battery Boxes: Secure and Versatile Power Solutions
Battery boxes are essential for safely housing and securing batteries in various applications, from trailers to boats. They offer protection against the elements and potential theft, while ensuring your batteries stay in place during transit. Consider size, material, and security features when choosing the right box for your needs.
Ensure the box fits your battery dimensions with some extra space for insulation or modifications. Check the fit on your trailer or vehicle, as not all tongues are the same. Some users modify boxes to fit snugly, so measure carefully before purchasing.
Material choice affects durability and security. Metal boxes offer more protection against theft and vandalism, while plastic boxes are lightweight and often sufficient for general use. Consider your environment and security needs when selecting material.
Some boxes have tie-down systems that may not be secure enough for all applications. Look for boxes with secure lids and consider additional locking mechanisms if theft is a concern. A well-secured box prevents battery movement during transit.
Yes, many users modify boxes to fit specific setups, like adding vent holes or trimming handles for a better fit. Customization can enhance functionality, but ensure modifications don't compromise the box's integrity or security.
Quality boxes have good gaskets to prevent water penetration, keeping batteries dry. Metal boxes offer more durability in harsh conditions, while plastic boxes are generally sufficient for moderate climates. Consider your local weather when choosing a box.
