I emailed etrailer about two different hitches for my 2018 RAV4. They gave their recommendations and reasoning why.

I was looking for additional information on a brake controller and the e-trailer posted the manual for the controller to their website. I was not able to open the PDF online so they emailed the PDF to me the next day! Thank you

Ordered a 15' slide topper which took 6 weeks to show with heavy shipping damage. Got E-trailer to reship a replacement item which only took about a 1 week. They did not issue pickup of old unit at the time. Now over 4 weeks past the time of receiving the good item, e-trailer wants to pickup the damaged unit. I have since moved and the damaged item is at the site of the RV in question. After specifying that e-trailer still sent the pick up to happen at original ship address. Informed etrailer and repeated the details about where it can be picked up and I receive this: "We would need to schedule another pick up at the original shipping location between the hours of 12-5pm next week between Tuesday and Friday. If you could please let me know what day works best for you."

It must have something to do with fees with recovering the damaged item or there is simply cognitive problems. They won't expand or acknowledge what I said about location and not being able to be there. So some straight forward communication is going to be necessary for me to help them with the return. It is looking very unlikely to happen though.

Mostly good

My only complaint right now (not installed yet) is when I called to confirm my shipping address I was told I would receive an email with tracking when it shipped. I never did and therefore didn't know to when expect it or if it had even shipped yet.

Want to replace my two piece rv roof access ladder. Asked questions about the surco universal ladder to see if it might work. Questions answered promptly. Will probably order the ladder in the next few weeks.

Tow lighting
December 26, 2017

The answer was not what I wanted but, there probably is no other way to go from a 2 wire tow vehicle to a 3 wire toad. I have the wiring that was recommended. I just wanted something simple without the diodes and such.
Thanks for your help.

I cannot believe how quickly my question was responding to. Not only was it responded to but it was actually made a sticky on your question and answers website. Ultimately it led me to purchasing the generator from your site. Thank you ever so much. I just received delivery of it yesterday but due to an injury I cannot start it until the end of this week when I have my son helping me out. Cant wait.

My seal had no number on it. I emailed Etrailer the measurement of the OD of the seal shaft and ID of the wheel hub on a Sunday. They emailed me back the number of the seal I needed the next day. It arrived today, the day they said it would arrive. Great service and helpful people. Very happy...

Fast and Helpful
December 19, 2017

Thanks Chris for your fast feedback on my question. I realize it is difficult to recommend a size when you aren't able to actually measure the part. I finally contacted my trailer manufacturer through the place I bought it. Although I chose to buy the parts (not stocked by etrailer) from another source. I will definitely keep etrailer in mind for future trailer part needs.

If you are considering purchases or just need advice, everyone knows to go to eTrailer for help first. Even just to run your plan by one of their experts. They're always happy to help, and there is never any pressure to buy anything. I've reached out to them for 5 different projects and they have been extremely helpful each time. That's why I almost always buy products there. Thanks, eTrailer!
