I would route the electrical hook up above the equalizer bar to protect it in case it drags bottom.

DEFINITELY rely on what the tires say as a maximum tire pressure.. not the sticker. Ideally the tires all match, and match the sticker. Eventually, down the road as technology changes, the sticker will get outdated. You'll still want the pressure in all 4 tires to be about the same, but rely on a range closer to the maximum of what the tire says, never above. In a newish trailer, that shouldn't be an issue, as the new tires were installed at the factory to match the sticker. ;)

Hey Jim, do you put that grease on the 7-pin every time you connect it, or just every few times? PS. Subscribed.

Is this strictly for weight distribution or does it help with sway control as well?

Would i be able to use one of these with an open car trailer?

I don’t see why not. As long as you can connect it to your trailer.
@deadswarmaking1135
@deadswarmaking1135 7 месяцев назад
Don't put dielectric grease on any of your electrical connections. Dielectric grease is not conductive, it is an insulator. You are supposed to use the grease on the outside housing of the connector to keep water out.
@DIYJIM
@DIYJIM 7 месяцев назад
Don't agree with that. I have been using Dielectric grease for years. Thanks for watching
@deadswarmaking1135
@deadswarmaking1135 7 месяцев назад
@@DIYJIM just because you've been using it for years doesn't mean you've been using it correctly. You've been lucky that the electrical contacts are tight enough to scrape away the grease for metal to metal contact. Look up the definition of dielectric grease and read the directions for application. Not conductive, used to insulate electrical connections.

Ok my truck has air bags, where I have to leave it? High? Low?
@DIYJIM
@DIYJIM 3 года назад
I have airbags also I try to set my distribution hitch so my camper is a little low or level then I put about 30-40 lbs in my bags just to stiffen the rear of my truck.
@dalp6657
@dalp6657 3 года назад
Ok Jim, before to hook, do I have to keep no air to the air bags or some pressure? Because it will be high to set trailer and truck measurements if with air. Thanks for your help.
@DIYJIM
@DIYJIM 3 года назад
Your supposed to try to keep 10 lbs in them all the time. I never check mine but I just try to leave a little in. Hook up then add your air. Hope this helps
