Jason gave in incredibly detailed and helpful answer to my questions; I was able to procure and install my external brake controller solely upon the info and video support from e-trailer. Great customer support!

I asked a question about the difference in clearance between two different hitch options for my new vehicle. The answer was prompt and very complete.

Had a specially hitch situation for a lawn tractor and various tow combinations for my homestead equipment. Tried to pull it together myself in their online catalog and got very close. So then just decided to ask the question and give them the problem I was trying to solve.

Had the answer the same day and was provided an easy list for me to choose my option for their recommended solution.

Significantly higher level of customer service compared to most mainstream commerce online catalogs.

Now waiting to see if the products hold up - but that's back on the manufactures

John was very helpful and very fast with his reply. He researched the question and when he did not get a clear answer the first time he researched some more. Thanks so much.

I don't hand out 5* reviews often. While I consider myself reasonable, I expect good value for my hard-earned dollars. Vendors have to earn my business.
I had several questions relating to snow chains (my first set ever!) and Conner was quick to respond with detailed advice. Surprisingly, he didn't recommend the most expensive chains. I purchased the ones he recommended and they arrived two days earlier than promised!
I just got around to installing them (relying on the etrailer video). As expected, it took considerably longer, but they fit perfectly. While I haven't had a chance to test them in winter conditions yet, I was pleased with the apparent quality and ease of installation. The carrying case is a nice plus.
Great to have a vendor exceed my expectations in every way. Complete confidence in the product and ability to install them properly. I wouldn't hesitate to order again from them and recommend them highly.

Wiring Harness Help

John H was super helpful when I was trying to find a wiring harness for an older vehicle that I have. He not only answered my initial question but quickly replied with more great information when I followed up with him.

Great Service!

Confused
September 28, 2017

When I did not get a prompt email response, I called and made a telephone order. The phone representative did not recommend bushing replacement. The email response and recommendation came after the order was already delivered. My installer did not think it was necessary and proceeded without the bushings. I would have ordered and had the bushings installed, if I would have had timely recommendation.

Communication is Excellent!

My question was regarding the range of the wireless Prodigy RF brake controller # *******. Jameson C was quick to respond that this unit has a 300 foot range so our 36 foot motor home should not be a problem.

Thank you for the quick response, Jameson.

I am absolutely satisfied with the answer the Conner provided. He also provided a link to the solution and it was excellent! What I finally did was bought a new Mictuning Winch In/Winch out toggle switch and installed it in my new 2017 Ranger 900XP. When I cut the original in/out switch off I reversed the wires per his directions to the new toggle. Worked like a champ!

However, some items need to be updated to match the items you receive as far as the dimensions and product pictures... (Here's my review of a product #853-7887 Stay-Put Thule cradle) I do love these cradles and they worked fine for me AFTER a bit of alterations. So the 4 I ordered and received 9/15/17 DID NOT fit on the 1" pipe that my bike rack has equipped. Granted my rack isn't a Thule, these cradles are designed and claim to accommodate 1" diameter pipes all the same. So if you zoom in on the product pic on this website you can see the hole dimension shows 1" in diameter and the inside is SMOOTH. What you DON'T see are the ridges that are inside the hole of the cradles that I received, making that 1" diameter SIGNIFICANTLY smaller. Small enough to NEVER fit on a 1" tube. How do I know? Because I had to grind them off considerably for the cradles to even start go slide on. I did leave about 1/3 of each of the grooves on so the fit was tight enough to not slide around. So be warned, you may have to modify if you do receive these with the ridges inside. I used an oscillating spindle sander with 7/8" bit and I targeted each ridge individually as opposed to using a 1" bit that would probably take too much off. Here's a pic. Unfortunately, I didn't think to take pics of the ridges prior to sander them off.
