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…
Based on my research your 2017 Airstream Basecamp travel trailer has a 4,000 lb Dexter Torflex axle; for that axle the correct lift kit is the Torflex Lift Kit - Single Axle - 2-5/8" Lift #K71-707-01. This lift kit is a fit for a #10 Torflex…
In regards to the Titan Chain Screw Pin D-Shackle part #TCS10MM, the distance from the pin to the inside edge opposite of this is going to be around 2". I spoke with Titan and they informed me that the working load limit (WLL) is 880 lbs.
Hey Mike! Yes, you can run a dedicated AC-powered battery charger alongside the WFCO Auto Detect Converter #WF35AD. As long as both chargers are configured for the same battery chemistry, they'll work together without any issues. I recommend…
Hey James, for the Yakima HD Overhaul rack the replacement bottom infill is the part #Y01166-LC and the top is part #Y01166. The bottom and top channels of the bars are the exact same dimensions and profile so they are interchangeable.
Thanks for the question, Chris! The Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver #DT66GR is confirmed to fit all models of the 2022 Ford Explorer so it will definitely fit the ST-Line you're asking about. If you'll be doing any towing be…
For your setup I recommend the TrackTowers for Yakima Crossbars and Platforms - Track Mount #Y52AV which includes everything you need to mount Yakima crossbars to your Retrax cover (unless you plan on using the Round or HD bars - then you'll need…
A 4-Way trailer connector has the basic lighting functions only; running lights, left turn signal and brake lights, right turn signal and brake lights, and ground. A 7-Way has these functions and a 12 volt circuit, a circuit for electric trailer…
Yes, your RSI SmartCap load bars are compatible with, and will allow you to mount the Hullavator, which is the following part number: - Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist #TH898 I have added a link below to a video review for you to…
There is not a general restriction from Thule that says two Hullavator Kayak Carriers #TH898 can't be used on a Thule roof rack. As long as the crossbars on your Ford Escape have the required length for two sets and a sufficient weight capacity…
Since we don't currently offer the RSI Smartcap I don't have any real technical info on it, but since you say they have t-slots you could use a system like the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for Thule and Yakima Tracks #Y01-140B-NT. This rack attaches…
Hi Toby, At this time, Coleman Mach has not announced a heat pump version of the Mach Everest RV Air Conditioner #CM63MR. The current Mach Everest is marketed as a cooling-only, variable-speed air conditioner, and I have not seen any official…
Great on all counts. Selection, price, and prompt shipping. Could not ask for more.

Tow Shackles with rope shackle for easy recoveries
Head out confident with rope shackle tow shackles that are easier to carry and quicker to hook up than metal. The soft design helps protect tow points and cuts the risk of flying hardware, and the protective cover can slide to the pinch point for chafe protection while showing the safe working load. Use with a recovery rope or extension strap, and check both break strength and working load limit since it isn't always a 1/3 ratio.
Match the safe working load to your rig and recovery needs. The safe working limit and maximum break strength may not follow a 1/3 rule, so go by the listed ratings. Pick a length that reaches between points, especially when using extension straps or varied angles. If your club requires synthetic gear, a Rope Shackle meets no-metal rules.
A Rope Shackle is easier to carry and use, and it helps reduce risk from heavy metal hardware. It's been used to winch out trucks in deep mud and to link extension straps at odd angles. It also works well with closed recovery points and tow hook loops to avoid chewing them up. Pair it with a recovery rope for a simple, strong connection.
No, not always. Follow the listed maximum break strength and safe working limit for the specific shackle. Some shackles list a safe working limit that doesn't equal 1/3 of break strength. Check the tag or protective cover for the stated ratings before you pull.
Push the knot through the loop and make sure it engages fully before loading. Slide the protective cover to the pinch point to reduce chafe. After a hard pull, the splice can slide to release more easily, but if it feels tight, work the knot and sheath to free it without forcing tools.
