Hello Kevin, Thanks for writing in. The main difference between the Power Watchdog Surge Protectors #HU67FR and #HU42VR comes down to the monitoring capability, housing design, and surge protection rating. The #HU67FR is the newer Generation 2 model.…
Hey Nick, thanks for reaching out. Yes, the Replacement Fabric for etrailer Powered RV Awnings #e96QV will work with other brands of awning like Solera or Dometic which are what we commonly see on campers like your 2011 Forest River Cherokee 29U. The…
Hey Michael! For some reason Toyota decided to use a double wall design on their receivers, which is why your old hitch pin won't fit. I recommend the InfiniteRule Hitch Lock for 2-1/2" Hitches #34061072-D for your 2022 Tacoma. This has a…
Hi Cindy! Better can be a relative term when it comes to things like this. Internal sensors like those found in the Tuson Towable Tire Pressure Monitoring System - 4 Sensors - Brass Interchangeable Valve Stems #335TPMS4WIVS and TST TPMS - Color…
Sure, I can help with that. I can see why the fitment notes are confusing. For a 2012 Toyota Tundra with the factory tow package and factory 7 way connector, you'll want a brake controller that plugs into the factory brake controller port under…
Thanks for all the details Jason! To get a Blue Ox tow bar to fit with the shackles on your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Sport you'll need either the 7/8" #BX88357 or 1" #BX88358 Adapters, but just be sure to check with the manufacturer of your…
Since your Winnebago Solis 59P has a pop top, instead of using the Dodge ProMaster Van Adapter for Thule HideAway Awning #TH301650 with the Thule HideAway Awning for ProMaster or Sprinter #TH620001, I recommend using the: -Thule HideAway Awning…
Hi Eric! The Dylux RV Tankless Water Heater #DY54FR does have auto frost protection, which activates when the temperature drops below close to freezing temps. That’s a helpful feature for chilly nights while the RV is in use. I would not treat that…
Hey Rex! Those are some great questions. A weight distribution hitch (WDH) isn't always needed but in your case you will want one. Typically if the weight of your trailer is more than 50% of the weight of your vehicle it is a good idea to use a…
Hey Ken! Instead of worrying about fitment and a potential return I can give you some measurements so you can figure it out before ordering. The standard shank on the B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System #BW28FR is 11-3/8" from the…
Hey Nancy! The Thomas Payne RV Jackknife Sofa w/ Hinges #TP58KR doesn't have any legs. It is designed to sit on an existing base/legs which you can see examples of in the attached picture. I can't tell in the brochure if that is what you have…
Dial in your setup with Hopkins RV levels. Some models include a built-in memory function that makes it easy to know exactly how high to jack your trailer on a fifth wheel. You can use double-sided tape to mount, but screws are the better choice outdoors since tape can shift or come loose and throw off accuracy.
Yes, Hopkins RV levels can work great on a fifth wheel. The memory feature helps you mark hitch height so you know how high to jack when re-hitching. Mount the level where you can see it from your landing gear controls. Before setting memory, level the trailer and set the disc to zero.
You can use double-sided tape on a Hopkins level, but exposure to the elements and shifting can affect accuracy. Screws provide a more secure mount. If you try tape, clean the surface well and press firmly. Recheck calibration after a few trips to confirm it hasn't moved.
Hopkins levels give a useful reference, but accuracy depends on setup and mounting. Calibrate on a known level surface first. If the memory disc feels sensitive, make small tweaks to set it to zero. If readings seem dull, verify the level isn't on a curved or uneven spot that can reduce sensitivity.
Install a Hopkins level on a flat, truly level area of the trailer. Lapped-aluminum or angled siding can throw it off. Use a 1 foot carpenter's level on the tongue to set the trailer level before mounting. Take your time with installation. Some add a second level at the rear to check from both ends.
