Hey Kim, thanks for reaching out. The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Bags with Easy Mount Compressor #F24XV do fit your 2020 Ram 2500 with rear coil springs, but the hang-up is the under-bed gooseneck hitch. On your truck, the air bag brackets and the…

Hey Sam! Thanks for the picture of your axle tag. The correct bearing kit is the 15123/ 25580 Bearings, 10-36 Seal #BK3-100. If you want the equivalent from Dexter it is the #DX26ER. Are you getting your trailer ready for an upcoming trip?

Hey, Lance. The direction the springs are in doesn't matter. They can be to the front or to the rear of the axle and will perform the same either way. What kind of trailer are you working on?
Hi Carmel; the Thetford C223S Cassette Toilet #TH42YE does not come with an exterior door. I do know that some of the doors are specific to the trailer manufacturer. From what Thetford told me, they have some doors available, but they were unable to…
Hey Marie! For a replacement I recommend the HydroMax RV Fresh Water Pump #P25201. This has the same flow as your old pump at 3 gallons per minute and a slightly higher pressure setting at 55 psi. A lot of people ask if the higher psi will cause…

Enhance Your RV Experience with an Accumulator Tank
An accumulator tank is a game-changer for RV water systems, reducing pump cycling and noise while ensuring smooth water flow. It's a must-have for those looking to improve their RV's water system efficiency and comfort.
An accumulator tank reduces the cycling of the water pump, which minimizes noise and pulsation in the water flow. This leads to a more consistent and quieter water supply, enhancing the overall comfort of your RV experience.
It's crucial to set the pre-charge pressure to about 3 psi less than your pump's cut-in pressure. This ensures optimal performance and minimizes pump cycling. Experimenting with different settings can help you find the sweet spot for your specific setup.
Some accumulator tanks come with lower quality hose fittings that may lead to leaks. Upgrading to higher quality fittings can prevent leaks and ensure a more reliable connection, giving you peace of mind during your travels.
Using flexible hoses between the fresh water tank, pump, and accumulator can significantly reduce noise. This setup absorbs vibrations and prevents rigid connections from amplifying pump noise, making your RV environment more pleasant.
While some models are more expensive, many find that affordable accumulator tanks offer great value. They effectively reduce pump cycling and noise, and with proper setup, they perform comparably to pricier options, making them a smart choice for budget-conscious RV enthusiasts.
