Does anyone know what is the max weight of the factory mount trailer hitch on a Coachman chaparral 336tsik can carry. I want to haul a 3 wheel e bike and a 2 wheel e bike and trying to figure out what e bike carrier to use.

Hi it seems from the threads that the 2008 sunseeker e450 chassis was rated at 5000 pounds to tow, but got upgraded to 7500 in the mid 2010s. My question is, is it actually an upgraded hitch? Or should I be fine to tow more than 5k with the existing? Some have beefed up, but has any 5k...

Hi all, I have done some searches on here and there seems to be quite a bit of mentions on the Andersen hitches, but I have not seen any dealing with the Ultimate version of the hitch. We just purchased one, have not towed it yet, but I have to say I love the installation of it and the...

Up graded truck from a 2018 2500 ram to a 2024 3500 dually. 9000lb travel trailer Have a curt round bar EQ hitch setup on the 2500, worked great. set ball height on 3500 same as it was on 2500. 3500 only dropped 3/4" at the rear and less than a 1/4 change up front. Trailer is slightly higher...

Ultimate Goal: Carry a 400 pound Yamaha Xmax scooter on a hitch mount carrier while flat towing my Chevy Spark. The scooter and the rack combined are 475 pounds. I felt like that was pushing the limits of my 500 pound tongue weight. Especially with the heavy adapter needed to add receivers...

So I installed my Andersen rail based hitch on my 2019 K2500 HD crew cab Duramax with the ball in its lowest position because my trailer already rides slightly nose high. The adapter is installed on the pin box with the ball socket forward. On its first trip out, at some point the bottom of...

I use an Equal-i-zer brand WDH and anti-sway hitch. I've recently read several stories about the WDH, when going over inclines like a step entrance into a gas station or rough roads, causing enough stress between the tow vehicle and the trailer frame to cause the trailer frame to bend. I've seen...

Am wondering if anyone can help me out with either of the measurements in the pic. Height to underside of overhang, and height to top of king pin - with the unit level. I am going to pick the unit up and want to be sure my hitch is set up correctly. Thank You.

Hi all, I'm at my wits end and hope you guys can help figure this out. I apologize in advance for the long winded post. We've tried a lot of things up to this point. TT: Flagstaff Classic 826MBR TV: 2024 F250 - Snow Plow Prep Package (Stock except timbrens and dual steering stabilizers, no...

Hi, I have an R-Pod. Everything works except for the motor that controls the trailer hitch. I can't manually raise of lower the hitch because the bolt is frozen. But I've always been able to use the motor. Not now. I've checked the fuses. Any advise would be welcome. Thanks. Lucius

Hi, I am new to this forum and this is my first post. We just bought a 2015 Forest River R-Pod M-182G pull behind camper today. This is our first camper and so I am needing to learn what I need. My 2018 Toyota Tundra user manual says I must use a "sway control device" since the camper is more...

Hi all, Looking at moving to a 5th wheel trailer from existing TT. Need to know what people do when they are not towing and need to use the truck for other things than towing? Also is there any suggestions on a quality light weight hitch that can be removed? Looking at a smaller 5th wheel less...

I purchased an Anderson Hitch when I first got my R-Pod 196. After towing from Maryland to San Antonio Texas and back (3300 miles), I was not impressed with the performance. I sold the Anderson and purchased a Camco TR3 and installed. I just towed from Maryland to Sault Ste. Marie Michigan...

My wife and I are considering an upgrade in the next several months from our larger travel trailer to the Jayco 29.5 BHDS Fifth Wheel. We've never had a fifth wheel before and are interested in people who have experience towing a camper similar to this with a truck similar to ours--Ram 2500...

Just wanted to report for anyone interested about a particular turn I ended up making with some particulars. 1. I drive a 2021 Ram 3500 Mega Cab, which means short bed, but 6'4" bed so not as short as some. 2. I have a Gen-Y Executive gooseball hitch (6.5k)...

Hey all - 2023 Georgetown GT7 36D7 - Just bought my wife a Lectric E Trike (and a regular XP bike for me). Mine will fit inside the cargo area, the trike is too big to fit under or inside the RV. What do you all think about using this bike rack for the trike using the tow hitch...

My 2023 subaru outback has a tow ball hitch installation. The top of the 2" ball is 18 1/2 inches from the ground. On the trailer hitch, when level front to back, the top of the coupler on trailer tongue is 20" and the bottom of coupler is 17 1/2 from the ground. When hitched the trailer...

Just finished building and installing my custom 3x3 bumper with 2in receiver hitch on my Imagine 2400BH.

I just picked up and installed my rail-type Andersen hitch, and took it out on a 35 mile break-in trip. While it was quieter than my old typical fiver hitch, I noticed a bit more clunking noise than I was expecting. Is that typical? Also, after this relatively short tow, I checked and found one...

For fellow R3 users, just want to tell/show you what happened to me on my last trip. As I was heading up I95 (cruise on - 65 mph) heard a large bang and felt a slight thump but then nothing.. pulled over did a quick walkaround didn't see anything. At the campground while setting up I noticed my...

I am coming here for insight from those with a more towing background, and I hope someone has an engineering perspective. The dimensions on either of these two hitches are what is required. Specifically, they are short enough (meaning ball is not far aft of bumper) and the height is just right...

I am buying a new 2024 Cherokee Arctic Fox 287BH and need to get a Reese Sidewinder hitch. I have a short bed 5.8 and need to know which one to get. Does anyone know the make and model of the fifth wheel mounted hitch on the Arctic Fox 287BH?

Are lube plates one size fits all or do I need a specific size matched to your pin box and/or hitch? I see 10" or 12" but I'm not sure if size matters when it comes to lube plates. Also a simple $12 nylon plate or something a little more space age? I have a 2022 295 RL with a turning point...

Greetings, I currently have a Freedom 2318G and love it, but I'm thinking of getting a 2022 Forest River Rockwood Geo Pro 19BH and pulling it with my Ford Maverick. The Geo Pro is 3200lbs UVW and has a hitch weight of 410 lbs, while my Ford Maverick has a tow capacity of 4K and a hitch weight...
