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 Dan. The only DC to DC charger that you might be able to get away with mounting in a battery box is the OptiMate Smart Battery Charger item #MA99JR. It has a weatherproof case but it's still restricted to inside use only. An easier and more…
Hey Michael, thanks for reaching out! The Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brakes #23-468-469 are an excellent choice, and will pair nicely with the Dexter Trailer Hub & Drum Assembly #84546UC3-EZ. This hub and drum comes pre-greased to…
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…
Hello Rene, thanks for reaching out. It is pretty typical for RV manufacturers to use axles that are not rated for the full GVWR. They say this is because 10%-15% of the camper weight is on the hitch instead of the axles. They will put the bare…
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…
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…
Hey Teo, we have a solution for you but we don't have any harnesses that work as both a tow bar lighting kit and a trailer wiring kit. So what you'd want is the Curt part #C96JR for the tow bar lighting and then for the trailer wiring…
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 there Caleb! Both the 2 inch and 2-5/16 inch balls supplied with the #WS97WR (adjustable 8" drop) fall under the same 22,000-lb hitch rating. Just make sure the ball matches your trailer coupler size, and always go by the lowest-rated part…

WOW! I am impressed! I called to place my order and real person answered, spoke perfect English, albeit a slight southern accent, and my order was sent within a day, shipped quickly and I had it a few days later. I saved over a hundred dollars over local and installed it my self. I cant imagine how that they could do any better. THANKS!
