Wiring - Optronics

It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…

Hey Jon, yes you sure can! And it's not too difficult either. If your vehicle already has a 4 way flat on the back, you can just install the #ETBC7 which converts it to a 7 way to be used with trailers that have electric brakes. Basically the 4…

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.

Hey Eli! The first thing you want to do is make sure you have brake flanges on those axles. You also need to take a look at the axle tags and find the axle capacity. More than likely they're 3,500 lb axles so I'll answer based on that. If you…

Congratulations on the HHR purchase James and thank you for sending the photo! Based on what I can see, your base plate appears to use Blue Ox's tabs and looks very similar to the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit #BX1692 used on the 2006-2011 Chevrolet…

John, that is a completely valid concern, especially since you already went through the trouble of switching from the horizontal air distribution box to the lateral version just to improve airflow throughout your R Pod. The last thing you want is to…

Hey Randy, good question. Yes, the TowSmart #TS85SR is 100% copper wire, not copper-clad aluminum. That’s a big deal for trailer wiring because copper carries current better, holds up to vibration, and resists corrosion a lot better over time. You’ll…

I have two recommendations depending on if you plan to flat tow with your motorhome. If you do then I recommend getting the Brake Buddy Stealth Supplemental Braking System #HM39530 as it comes with a brake controller that will allow you to flat tow a…

Hey Keith! I can definitely help you find a replacement for your Dometic Duo Therm. However, you're going to have to replace the thermostat and air distribution box as well. Your current setup is for R410A and everything switched to R32 last year…

Typically 4-way wiring consists of 18 and 16 gauge wires. For a 4-way that has all 16 gauge wire you would want the Wesbar 4-Pole Flat Connector #W787264. The part #HM38138 uses 18 gauge for all wires but the white that uses 16 gauge.

Hey Hugh, we do have a totally hidden trailer hitch that fits your 2026 Subaru Solterra with the EcoHitch part #EH97CR. The lower hitch opening of this hitch is removable so that when not in use you can remove it and the hitch would be totally…
