The towing capacity of the 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 with 5.3L V8 and 4.10 rear axle is 8100-lbs. For a 7600-lb GVWR travel trailer the resulting 500-lb safety margin is adequate/low-ish. With a trailer that weighs substantially more than the tow…
Hello Jay, I’m curious what panel you’re planning to use. How many panels will you be running, and what is the total wattage? I want to make sure the controller I recommended is properly sized for your setup. Right now, your camper has the Go Power…
Yes, Rob - that’s one of the big advantages here with the PingMaster trailer tracker systems. The 3000 with WiFi backup #PM84FR, 5000 #PM64FR, and 5000 with WiFi backup #PM74FR are completely self-contained. They mount using the built-in magnet or…
Hey David, I would test fit everything and see which orientation works best. With the spacer or without. Ideally when the kit is installed there will be 1 inch of space between the Timbren and the frame so whichever orientation gets closest to that…
Hello Eli, thanks for reaching out. Yes, the Demco EZ-Latch Gooseneck Coupler #DM43KV is safe to use on a dump trailer. The key thing to understand is that the weight of the trailer is still carried by the ball, not by the latch itself. The EZ-Latch…

I spoke with my contact at MaxxAir regarding the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent #MA00-05301K that you referenced. He stated that the printed circuit board on this unit would not be able to handle reversing the polarity. Doing this would likely burn up the…
The RAS systems like #RAS4611 are widely considered to be the best suspension enhancement you can install on a truck towing a trailer. They provide the most stability, provide the most comfortable ride quality, and are adjustable in how much support…
Hey Cathy, sweet camper! I really like the Rhino-Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells #Y02-500B-ST you were looking at because it's a tried-and-true solution that also gives you tracks so you can accommodate a variety of different load…
I would recommend replacing the tires along with the wheels on your utility trailer. The tires that you currently have on your trailer are passenger car tires which can be identified by the P at the beginning of the tire size and it is not a common…
The wheels are hub-centric. The wheel bolts instead of lug nuts is the only clue needed. A hub-centric wheel centers on the hub using the pilot hole and hub so it would be a snug fit. You could still use a lug-centric wheel as long as the pilot hole…
Hi Nick! The B&W Anti-Rattle Clamp for 2" Hitch Receivers #BW45FR will work with any standard 2" tow & stow, including the Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 5" Drop, 5-1/2" Rise - 10K - Black #BWTS10048B. That…
On board air compressors are a game-changer for truck enthusiasts. They provide the convenience of inflating tires and air springs on the go, making them perfect for off-road adventures or heavy-duty hauling. Consider installation ease, noise levels, and component quality when choosing the right one for your vehicle.
Installation can vary by vehicle, so check for compatibility with your truck model. Some kits may lack components like air tubing or fittings, so verify the contents before starting. Detailed installation videos can be helpful, and ensure you have the right tools for drilling and mounting.
Noise levels can differ based on where the compressor is mounted. Inside the cab, it might be noticeable when the engine is off, but less so on the highway. Consider placement and soundproofing if noise is a concern, especially if you frequently use the compressor.
Some users have experienced issues with air tank plugs not sealing properly. Replacing the plugs can resolve this, ensuring the unit holds air effectively. Regular checks and maintenance can prevent leaks and prolong the system's efficiency.
These compressors are highly versatile, easily inflating truck and trailer tires up to 85 psi. They are also great for air springs, making them a valuable addition for those who frequently tow or haul heavy loads. Their utility often exceeds initial expectations.
A Bluetooth controller offers convenient, wireless management of your air system, allowing adjustments from inside the cab. This is particularly useful for managing air springs on the go, enhancing comfort and control without needing to manually adjust settings.
