...Hey Dee Dee, we have the Brophy RV Bumper Mounted Spare Carrier part # BR56VR that would work for what you mentioned having. It can work with wheels that are up to 17-1/2 inch in diameter and the 80...
The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…
In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.
To determine the correct brakes for your trailer we'll need to first know the axle capacity. The Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit #23-26-27 you were looking at are designed for 3,500lb axles. From there you'll need a hub/drum assembly, which…
Hey Rob, The valve stem hole on the #AM20759 is going to be fitted for TR13. That is a common size on modern wheels while the TR15 is found on older wheels. What kind of trailer are you wanting to put these on?
When you tighten the two nuts on the studs of the Trailer Spare Tire Carrier #DL22128 you were looking at, it will squeeze the tire against the frame which will keep it secure and won't allow it to slide back and forth. I wouldn't hesitate to…
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 -…
The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
Hello Steve, thanks for reaching out. The DeeMaxx Replacement Caliper #DE52WR would not be a suitable replacement for the discontinued TDE 46802 caliper. Based on my research the TDE 46802 is for 7K-8K axles and the #DE52WR is only rated up to 6K.…
Load range B trailer tires are going to have a lower capacity than C load range tires. Basically that, psi rating, and the ply rating are the only differences. A higher load range tire would last a little longer than lower load ranges of the same…
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…
Hey Mark, welcome back! This is very much a case of "you get what you pay for." The Curt TruTrack 2P #C95MJ you looked at is a good option if you tow your trailer a short distance once or twice a year. If you tow with any frequency and you…
Explore robust spare tire mounts for RVs that ensure your spare is secure and accessible. These mounts are designed to withstand the rigors of travel, though installation may require some adjustments for optimal fit and function.
Installation is generally straightforward, but instructions can be unclear. Some find it necessary to purchase additional hardware for a secure fit. It's a good idea to have a few extra bolts and washers on hand just in case.
Some mounts may lower the tow hitch by a couple of inches, which can affect the towing height. This might cause the tow point to drag on uneven surfaces. Consider a design that maintains or raises the tow point if this is a concern.
Yes, a rear-mounted spare tire can interfere with bike racks or cargo carriers. It's important to check the clearance and consider extensions if needed to ensure all accessories fit without obstruction.
Common modifications include adding extra bolts and washers for stability and using extensions to clear rear doors or other accessories. Some also paint mounting bolts for a cleaner look and add rubber backing to prevent scratches.
Suggestions include offering mounts that raise the tow point instead of lowering it, providing clearer installation instructions, and including nut caps or rubber backing to protect the spare wheel from scratches.
