Since time is a factor and we do not have the complete axle brake and hub set up, Item #8327816-EB, in stock (August 2021). I recommend the Dexter Trailer Axle with E-Z Lube Spindles item #8327816. This axle is 86-1/2" Long with a 5,200 lbs…

Hey Randy, I wish we had the replacement flush ball you are looking for but at this time Dometic does not offer that as a replacement part. Only solution would be a new 310 like the part #DOM57FR.

There may be a bunch of different reason why your Lippert Level-Up system has suddenly stopped working. The most common reasons are due to a dead battery, extending your jacks too far, or a blown fuse. The first thing you should check for is the easy…

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.…

Hi Bryce; U-Haul probably tried to use the Curt #C63RV which does not fit hybrid or SX models of the 2025 Sorento. None of the manufacturers make a custom wiring harness so the only option is a universal splice-in like #C59236 or the #119250KIT which…
