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 axle with capacities between 2,300 lbs and 4,000 lbs. I do recommend verifying that you have this axle with the manufacturer, and if you do have it, this will work for you.

I have added a link to a video review to check out as well of the Torflex Lift Kit # K71-707-01.

Hey Melanie. The reason you can't find a replacement for your GE ARC15AACBL2 15,000 btu air conditioner is because they phased them out. In 2025 all RV AC systems had to change over to a new coolant called R32. This was a EPA mandated decision.…

Hey Tim welcome back! Your ARH15AACBL2 GE AC unit has the old 410a refrigerant in it so the GE Appliances item #GE64FR you were looking at isn't going to work as a replacement. The EPA mandated R32 refrigerant has been used in all new AC's…
