Tekonsha ZCI Zero Contact Interface Universal ModuLite

Written by Hitchweb Team Monday, January 23, 2017

Our customer: Can I order a Tekonsha ZCI wiring harness from you? I was planning to order a hitch for my 2007 BMW X3 but did not see that specific convertor. My mechanic tells me that is what I should get.

Tekonsha ZCI Universal ModuLite ConverterThis is a great question and your mechanic is absolutely correct!

Benefits of Rock Guards for RV Towing

Written by Hitchweb Team Wednesday, January 18, 2017

When towing you’ll find that all motorhomes, to some extent, will kick up quite a bit of rocks and debris by the rear drive wheels. We’ve all seen first hand the damage this debris can cause – chips, cracks and even a sandblasting effect are all common occurrences. In addition to the types of rock guards we’ll discuss we also recommend installing additional mudflaps behind each rear axle. You can check out our choices from Aries in our Mud Flaps section.

RV Rock Guards

A rock guard is an excellent option to help protect your towed car. Rock guards are generally attached to the RV frame and/or utilizing a 2” receiver in the rear and hang almost to the ground, across the full width of the coach. When not towing, rock guards also provide protection for any vehicle following your coach.

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.
