TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs
TorkLift's custom, frame-mounted tie-downs let you secure your truck bed camper to your pickup for the long haul. By attaching to your truck's base instead of its bed, these tie-downs better distribute weight to keep your setup from being too top-heavy.
TorkLift Trailer Hitches
TorkLift's SuperHitch dual-receiver trailer hitches let you tow a trailer and carry a hitch-mounted bike rack or cargo carrier at the same time. Pre-drilled mounting points are in place for attaching TorkLift's super-sturdy camper tie-towns.
TorkLift RV and Camper Steps
GlowSteps ensure proper footing as you climb into or out of your RV or camper. Lightweight, rustproof scissor steps easily fold up for storage. Glow tape provides nighttime visibility.
TorkLift Vehicle Suspension
TorkLift StableLoad pads install in your vehicle's factory overload springs to give you improved handling with minimal sway and body roll.
TorkLift Hitch Accessories
Heavy-duty SuperTruss hitch extensions work with TorkLift SuperHitch dual-receiver trailer hitches to extend the top receiver of the hitch so that it clears your camper, allowing you to tow your trailer while your camper's installed. Extensions maintain a high capacity and can be used with weight-distribution systems.

Expert Answers about Torklift
- How to Power Interior Lights of an Enclosed Trailer
- The best way for you to power the interior lights of your enclosed trailer is with a mounted 12V battery. To do this, mount the battery with a battery box like # TLA7708R and use a junction box # 38656 to tap into your 7-way. You will also need ring terminals # 44-5310A, and wire # 12-1-1 to run to each light. You will also want a light switch such as the Pollak rocker switch # PK34308 or toggle switch # PK34571. You will be able to charge the battery when the 7-way is attached to your...

- When replacing steps on a 5th wheel trailer you will want to stay with the same number of steps unless going to more steps retains the same retracted dimensions of your existing steps. For aftermarket steps there is no fit information in regards to specific trailers. You would have to go by the measurements.
TorkLift steps # TLA8004 have a mounting base that is 27-7/16 inches wide and 12 inches deep. When retracted the steps hang down 16-17 inches from where they mount. The 3-step model,...

- A solar panel would work well for you with this application. I recommend the Solar Power Kit from Torklift # TLA7713. This is a 10 watt panel that will maintain the charge to boost the life of your battery and bring a battery back from 50-percent life.
We recently installed this solar panel on a trailer to maintain the charge on a battery. I have attached a review and installation video of this solar panel for you.

- The main difference between the Torklift Locking FastGun Turnbuckles, # TLS9522-2-LK, and the AnchorGuard Derringer Turnbuckles, # TLS9020, is how the camper tie-downs are mounted on your truck.
The FastGun # TLS9522-2-LK are designed to be used with frame mounted camper tie-downs. These tie-downs will mount to the frame of the truck giving a strong base to connect the turnbuckles to the camper and the truck.

- The TorkLift PowerArmor Locking Battery Box # TLA7710R has dimensions of 58-1/2" long x 7-5/8" wide x 12-3/4" tall so the four six volt batteries you have should be able to fit in the box with room for another one.

- I do have a solution for you but unfortunately you do have to use a TorkLift XL Shank like part # TLM9011 along with the SuperHitch on your tow vehicle to be able to use the Everest Weight Distribution System # TLWD1000.
If 15,000 lbs is the GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) of your trailer or that is the most it will weigh when you are towing it then you can potentially use the Strait-Line # RP66075 instead. This is rated to tow up to a 17,000 lb trailer and it has a tongue weight...

view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2000 Ford Excursion
- The 2000 Ford Excursion is actually rated for 10,000 pounds gross trailer weight. The 18,000 pounds is the gross combined weight rating or GCWR. The GCWR is the most that the Excursion and trailer can weigh including cargo, passengers, and fuel.
So the Excursion cannot tow 18,000 pounds and its weight plus the trailers weight cannot exceed 18,000 pounds. The trailer can weigh up to 10,000 pounds total but no more.
With that said the highest capacity trailer hitch we have for your...

- To maintain the warranty of the Torklift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs, # TLN2409 and # TLR3500, for your 2010 Nissan Frontier, you will want 4 spring loaded turnbuckles like the Torklift SpringLoad XL Turnbuckles, # TLS9050A or the FastGun Turnbuckles, # TLS9526. Torklift requires spring loaded turnbuckles for frame mounted tie-downs due to the tension they provide.

- For a 2-inch hitch the longest hitch extensions we offer are the 60-inch # TLE1560 and 48-inch # TLE1548, both from TorkLift. However, these only work along with a TorkLift brand SuperHitch dual-receiver type hitch that has the strength and included safety chains to handle the extra stress from the trailer load being further from the hitch. To use one of these you will need to also install a SuperHitch.

view full answer... - Is there a 12 Inch Long Hitch Extender Rated for Towing a 10,000 lbs Trailer with a 2014 Ram 3500
- The hitch extenders that are rated for 10,000 pounds are all for tow bar applications only so we have to take a different approach. If you have the factory trailer hitch that is welded onto your 2014 Ram 3500 then the best option would be to add TorkLift SuperHitch # TLD1108 and then use SuperTruss Extender # TLE1521. When using the SuperTruss extender you would have to then use weight distribution to get the capacity to 14,000 pounds.
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution for Trailer Tongue Weight of 2194 lbs.
- When you use a weight distribution system, it does not add more weight to the ball or the coupler, It disperses the weight across the frame so the trailer will handle better. This doesn't mean you can use a coupler rated for less weight than what your trailer can handle. Couplers aren't normally rated for tongue weight, so are you sure it doesn't specify 21000 lbs towing capacity versus 2100 lbs tongue weight capacity? Either way, you know your loaded tongue weight is 2194 lbs so if...
