Unless you have one of the Boondock Lite or Boondock Edge versions of the 2019 NuCamp Tab 320's I would refrain from lowering it any more to the ground. With the stabilizers and sewer drain hanging below the camper this will likely cause clearance issues over speed bumps, hills and entry curbs.

If you have one of the Boondock versions that came with the larger 15" off road wheels and tires you can revert back to the base size wheel and tire like the Castle Rock ST205/75R14 Radial Tire w/ 14" Condor Aluminum Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - LR C - Gunmetal # LH84VR. These will help to lower your height down slightly.

I can end this debate for you real fast! Trailer tires, which will have an ST in front of the size, should always be inflated to the maximum psi indicated on the tire. Trailer tires usually do not have a recommended and maximum psi indication so I am…

I wish we had a magic number I could tell you Paul but we tell everyone to go with the maximum tire pressure as stated on your sidewall from the manufacturer. For the Westlake ST235/75R15 #WST54FR you were looking at it should be inflated to 65psi at…

It sounds like you may not have wired everything like it should be, particularly the ground wires. Each brake assembly is going to need to have a pair of wires coming out of it, with both having ground wires that are attached to bare metal surfaces…

Answer 5

Electric brakes, like part #23-26-27, use 16 gauge wiring. However, we generally recommend using 10 gauge, like part #10-2-1, to connect to the brakes because of how far the wiring generally has to be run. So you need to use butt connectors large…

There is no specific torque rating for the castle nut that holds your hub in place. We recommend tightening the castle nut down until it stops, and then backing it off to the next notch wheel the tang washer will fit into the castle nut. Over…

We recommended to repack the wheel bearings on your trailer every 12 months or 12,000 miles. There is not a specific guideline as far as actually replacing the bearings. When repacking them with grease, you will also just want to check for any damage…

The purpose of the Bearing Buddy system like part #BB1980A-SS is to maintain the proper grease level for your bearings. Most of the systems like this have an indicator that shows when the grease is at the right level. It would be a good idea to check…

Yes, you can clean the trailer brake magnets and other components on the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit #K23-478-479 with brake cleaner. Be sure to dry the surfaces before reassembly.

Now would be a really good time to have the entire system inspected by a qualified shop. If the lug nuts were not tightened properly that could cause the wheel to come off the trailer. The bearing should have been inspected for obvious signs of wear…

Answer 12

The Dexter Trailer Hub Assembly you referenced, part #AKIHUB-440-2-1K is known as an idler hub. An idler is a hub that is no provisions for trailer brakes. It has no brake drum. Part #8-276-5 is an example of a hub/ drum that has a brake drum that…
