Just wanted to let everyone know that I called hopkins and they were kind enough to send me a couple of clips at no charge. Now thats customer service.

Thank you for the links Rene and Charles and thank you for the suggestion Dan. I’ve got a NAPA in the area so will stop in there tomorrow and if no luck order the one from Amazon. TonyL asked if there was an electric hook up for the trailer in the box, didn’t know but just checked and confirmed...

Yes, mine is the combination connector, barrel and flat 4. Could you post the link so I can check. Thanks

Morning Rene, thank you for your reply. I’m pretty sure I’ve had a connector mounted on a bracket like you are describing on past trucks. Honestly it’s probably a better way and guaranteed more secure but since this is the way it’s been done from the factory it’s probably better to just leave...

Hi Tony, how are you doing? I just actually sent you an email not 5 minutes ago!!! To answer your question, honestly I don’t know, just picked up the truck last Friday and the weather here has been not nice. The tonneau has ice on it and I wasn’t too worried because the truck and trailer were...

Hi Gary, thanks for your reply. I’ve looked at the things you posted earlier. I have been to Ford Dealer, they will order if I want but they can’t guarantee any delivery time. The mount that is listed in ebay is not going to fit. Yes, I can spend $79.00 (in Canada)for the new plug and if I...

Afternoon everyone Sold the motorhome and bought a new to me 5th wheel and F250 Diesel truck. Going to be interesting, haven’t driven anything 5th wheel in 40+ years but looking forward to it. The truck has a combination trailer electrical hook up but there are 2 clips that hold the connector in...

Wish I could help you. FWIW, my baseplate mounts considerably higher than  it appears yours does. If it would be of any use to you I can go out and take a couple of pictures of the front of my car so you can see what it looks like without the tow pins in. Let me know. Bob

I know nothing about Roadmaster towing eqpt. Always had Blue Ox. Might be worth looking for a used tow kit, lots of folks have been towing an Edge. My base plate from the 2013 fit the 2011. Reason I went backwards was we traded the 13 Edge for a 16 Edge and there wasn?t a base plate built for...

Congrats, I think you will enjoy it. It really is a comfortable ride and lots of room. Don?t forget to do something so you can put a bit of a charge into the car battery while towing. That was only issue I had. Bob

I have towed a 2011 and 2013 Edge. 2011 was FWD and the 2013 was AWD. Both towed extremely well, really didn?t know anything was back there. I use a Patriot aux brake and unless in large hills, have braking dialed to zero. Only thing I had difficulties with was the battery in car would go...

Thank you John. Hope everything goes perfectly for you on this job. Bob

Great news John Would it be possible that you could post the model number of the Tecumseh compressor you got for yours. Thanks very much Bob

I got the same option suggested by dealer. I would just hate to imagine the absolute mess they would make of the job. Probably want to poke through roof above panel (at very back) and run wire across top to unit. That would do the front roof a/c in place of my exhaust fan, then second would...

Thanks Paul, I have an email out to them and hopefully they will reply with some good news. When this all gets settled, I will be sure to post what I find here.
