Our customer asked: looking for the correct brake controller to fit the factory pre-wiring on a 2008 GMC 1500

                                                                                                                                                                         image taken from GM Authority

As per Cequent Technical Support, from 2007 (New Body Style) - 2014 GMC did away with the direct plug-in harnesses and the brake controllers needed to be hardwired in. You can select any Brake Control you like,...

Our customer asked us: I just purchased a Curt hitch mount cargo carrier and I'm not sure if I should use bungee cords or a cargo net. Is one better than the other?

Bungee Cords	vs.	Cargo Nets

Although bungee cords and cargo nets are similar, when hauling gear on your roof or hitch mount cargo carrier we always recommend the use of a cargo net.  

I purchased a 2016 Dodge Ram 2500 with short bed. It is factory prepped for a fifth wheel already. My question is this: what else do I need?

Dodge says all I need is the hitch itself, but when researching online it says I also need a mounting bracket that goes in the bed. I thought that was already installed under the bed?

Since you have the short bed, we recommend the slider fifth wheel hitch. We have a few options available for you in different capacities, but I will quote the 16K and 20K options. You do need the adapter kit that goes in the bed to adapt the prep package to an aftermarket fifth wheel hitch such as Reese or Curt. 

16K FIFTH WHEEL HITCH OPTIONS:

Reese Fifth Wheel Hitch with Slider refer to part 30869
Reese Rail Kit Mounting Adapter refer to part 30154

Curt Q16 16K Fifth Wheel with Slider refer to part 16521

Our customer asked: I have a trailer that is 20ft long, but including the hitch and a-frame front it is 22ft long. Which measurement is correct? Also is the height measured from top of the RV to the ground?
 

Getting the right dimensions for your RV cover isn't as hard as it may seem and we have all the steps laid out for you. Just grab a tape measure, pen and paper and you're ready!

Step 1: Measuring your RV length

First measure the length of your RV from bumper to bumper. Make note of additional measurements for anything that sticks out past the bumper - ladders and spare tires are common things to check for. Do not include hitches in these measurements.

Step 2: Measuring your RV height

Measure from the top of the roof down to the bottom of the frame. Measuring all the way to the ground will result in an ill fitting cover. AC units do not need to be included in your measurements as our manufactures take these units into account...
