I must compliment e-trailer, and particularly Jameson, for the fast expert follow up I had on a question pertaining to the conversion of my Reese 5th wheel hitch from slider to conventional. I reached out to both Jameson at e-trailer and also directly to Reese Corporation with my question. Jameson followed up immediately with the right answer and precisely what I needed to purchase to make the switch. Thank you very much for the great support! By the way... I am still waiting to hear back from Reese.

I appreciate your willingness to answer questions I couldn't seem to find in any FAQs. Your recommendation-----adjusting the brakes, seemed to help quite a bit so I think the problem of weak electric brakes is now solved. It was good to know that with a proportional electric controller, you won't be able to test the full amperage load on all 4 traler brakes/wheels while sitting still. The manual slider gave me 11 amps and this seems to be enough, given the weight of my trailer, about 3600 lbs.

I bought a new model Nissan Titan and even the dealer didn't have the answers. My Q & A was answered quickly and now I can get the correct part to connect my trailer brake without messing anything up. Thanks, Jason.

This answer helped - regarding the swivel. I also wondered about the relative durability of the two wheel systems - all steel/fixed vs swivel/urethane.

Right ON!
September 2, 2017

The information provided by John was 'Right On'. I did what he had noted and resolved the problem. It turned out that two of those newer fuses had blown. One was for the running lights and the other for the 12V charging that runs to the 7-way connector. All fixed up and ready to go!

Your process of hands on customer service PEOPLE is great. Alot of companies forget customer service is key to developing long lasting relationships with their customers. Long lasting serves both parties. It helps the customer. It is good for bottom line of company long term. Adds to attract customers is expensive. Great customer service might seam expensive (personel cost) to the bean counters. But it is cheaper than advertising. And it pays back many times over in person to person recomendations. Great customer service causes great experiences which are shared at that point at no cost to the company. No cost advertising is the best kind. I have bought from you before on recomendation from some one else as example. And now looking at other items because of your customer service.
Keep it up.

Kyle supplied me with incorrect information, however I failed to send a picture. I sent a picture and asked him to re-evaluate. No reply. I have since become more educated and realized that the picture I sent was not accurate. Today I will attempt to attach two pictures and descriptions that are accurate, however I wonder if what I'm trying to do can't be done. I've been to four stores in Topeka.Ks with no luck. If I can't attach the pictures I will send them to John H via e-mail. Glad you have a service like this available, propane fitting knowledge and parts seems scarce.

While the response to my question was answered professionaly. He failed to know that the part needed is not available from them or any other vendor I can find. Hopes were elevated only to be dashed. I wish he would have told me that in his response.

Tow Hook
August 25, 2017

I emailed a question regarding fit for a tow hook. The response and detailed reply I received was way more than I expected.

It was not just a simple yes or no answer, rather a detailed dimentional description of the product which would allow me to determine on my own if the item was a direct replacement or not.

Good job! Great customer service!

I appreciate the expert feedback on the recommended hitch for my new Subaru Outback. Because I have a Class 2 Sunfish trailer and bike rack I stayed with a Class 2 Draw-Tite hitch but appreciate the extra feedback.
