![]() This is a single progressive shock dampening cushion combined with a special anti-friction inner sleeve tames the bucking and bouncing that some truck/trailer combinations create. See the specific product page for each standard adapter for additional features and restrictions on use. The measurement extends from the king pin plate to the top of the ball. The height of the adapter is adjustable from 12.5” to 16.5” to serve various heights of trailers and trucks. All that is necessary is the cable assembly included with each unit. It is not necessary to get in the truck bed in order to unlatch the couple. This gooseneck adapter includes various user-friendly features, such as a 4-inch height adjustment, precision cast, variety of offsets, and self-latching coupler. This allows the complete use of the pickup bed when you are not using it for towing operations. The fifth wheel gooseneck adapters we offer (RV1 5”, RV2 9”, RV3 No Offset) enables you to tow your fifth wheel trailer utilizing a convenient 2 5/16” gooseneck ball. Below is some information about the Standard RV Adaptors we offer. Our RV hitch adaptor is quickly removable from your truck bed when needed. These adaptors are ideal for ensuring your vehicle is perfectly compatible for the flatbed, trailer, or camper you need to transport. After the first tire blew, I slowed down to 55mph, but the tires were really old and the heat damage was already done.At PopUp Towing Products, we offer a new RV hitch adaptor that ensures you will always have a proper connection you can count on. I don't think it's a very common practice, but I always do and was especially glad I did when both of my tires blew out on one trip in the middle of the night and I was ~50 miles from the nearest town. Long story short, search radial options, you might like what you find, plus they're much less prone to blow-outs than bias-ply's.Īnother thing to consider, particularly for long road-trips like you're talking about, is to carry 2 spares. So when I went to replace them, the first thing I did was look for radial's with sufficient load-rating, which I found they all had, plus 118mph speed-ratings, and they were comparable in price to bias, so they were a no-brainer. With my first trailer I pushed the 12" bias-ply's beyond their speed rating and blew them both out(albeit they were also very old). Most(not all, some are 65mph) bias tires are limited to 55MPH, which just doesn't work when the speed limit is 70, I like to cruise 65mph. The primary reason I switched to radial's was for speed rating. My 2nd pop-up had 13" tires, so I had plenty of options for that. My first pop-up had 12" tires, so my options were a little more limited, but I still had no trouble finding a 12" radial that worked. Pop-up's are light enough that there are plenty of radial's available that have enough load-carrying capacity. ![]() While this won't work for all trailers, one of the best decisions I made on both of my pop-up's was replacing the bias-ply tires with passenger radial's. Next tires will be Continental VANCO2 light truck tires, ill get those thru Īnd just let it be known, it's not IF you'll have a tire let go, but when, you can do everything but prevent it. The tires i have currently are Kumho 857, they were sold in US as trailer tires, in Europe they are small truck tires. There were some circumstances that helped this along, but age was the biggest. tow well and handle nice.Īfter all that, you need to consider AGE of the tire. my current tires ( 185r14 LR D radials) are 1874lb capacity a piece. Your trailer hitch will carry 12-15% of the load having a reasonable load margin will help tires survive longer. 3220 total capacity, great, except the camper with all the dealer add ons and our camping crap and water in water heater and toilet tank ( main water tank empty ) weighed in at 3485lbs My '12 Flagstaff 625D came with 175/80R13 load range D radials, 1610lbs capacity each. the larger tire will allow you more options for weigh capacity, more capacity is better here. fit the largest over all diameter you can fit and still maintain suspension movement. ![]() Once you know how much your camper weighs, you know how to go about sizing the tires. that is weigh as shipped from factory, and dealer will add more stuff ( AC, Battery(s), full LP tank(s), bag awning, cook top or grill ) all undocumented weight. DO NOT go by what is on the frame sticker. First, know how much your camper weighs, you may be surprised, as mentioned above, most think they know, and are wrong.
