I definitely understand how safety chain capacities and determining exactly what chain rating you need for your trailer can be a bit confusing. To keep it as simple as possible, safety chain requirements state that the breaking strength of EACH…

The only 4-Bike bumper rack we have available that may work with the spare tire on your Forest River Trailer is the Swagman 4 Bike Rack #S80600. This bike rack is designed to attach to 4 or 4-1/2 inch continuous welded steel square bumpers. The first…

It is acceptable to mount the Ultra Fab #UF35-946401 underneath the bumper. Make sure the 200 lb capacity of the receiver or the capacity of the bumper (whichever is lower) is not exceeded. This receiver is meant to mount to a 4 inch Steel RV…

We have just the one kayak for demo purposes but basically with the Thule Stacker #TH830 you would have 2 kayaks on their sides on each side of the uprights. I have included a picture out of the instructions to illustrate this. Additional tie downs…

The Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches #TH83JV is designed to hold the bikes by the wheels. It is not recommended to use on bikes with fenders. For that application I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE #HLY84FR. This…

It is safe to tow with a hitch extender like the Curt #C45796, but it is important to note that using any type of adapter, including an extender, reduces the weight capacity of your hitch by 50 percent.

We are talking about 2 different animals. A motorcycle carrier does not reduce the tongue weight capacity of a trailer hitch like a hitch extender does. So if the tongue weight capacity of the hitch AND vehicle is greater than the combined weight of…

Payload is any weight added to the vehicle, including cargo and passengers inside; it doesn't matter if it is in front or behind the rear axle. Tongue weight, on the other hand, is any weight added behind the rear axle of the vehicle; this…

The guy you talked to is completely incorrect. I am not sure where he came up with that but the only time you have to reduce the capacity of a hitch is when you use a hitch extender. The EcoHitch part #306-X7332 when used with a bike rack like the…

As long as you stay under the 10,300 pound mark you should be fine. Currently your trailer and gear estimate would weigh 9,100 pounds. Take a look at the rig when the trailer and truck are fully loaded as though you were ready to hit the road. If the…
