Hey, Dan! Congrats on your new camper. Sounds like you’re good to go with the B&W Tow & Stow #BWTS20037B! Based on the dry weight being 7,600 lbs, I’m going to assume your trailer’s coupler has a 2-5/16" ball. The 2-5/16" ball on…

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…
Brian, you’ll each want the version that matches your RV’s service. The #HU84ZR is built for 30A rigs like your friend’s Cougar, while the #HU74ZR is made for 50A rigs like your Cedar Creek. They both do the same job - voltage boosting, surge…
Hey Michael! Since you were looking at the SoftStartRV Soft Start #SSR54FR are you wanting that built in as well? The Active Controls ActiveStart Plug-In Soft Start for RVs #AS94FR is a soft start and surge protector all in one. If you aren't…
Hi Chris, that’s a great question and I’m glad you’re checking before loading that bike up. With the Roadmaster adapter part #RO24FR being rated at 400 lbs tongue weight, you’d be right at its limit with your bike and carrier, and once you factor in…
