Expert Answers about Atwood

Will Atwood Master Cylinder 85841 Replace an Older Atwood Master Cylinder 85736
I spoke with my Atwood contact this afternoon. Master cylinder # 85841 has been used on most, if not all Atwood actuators since 1980. If in fact your actuator is pre-1980 there are not any parts available for those older actuators, and it would probably be best to replace the actuator. I have added a link below to all our actuator couplers, both bolt-on and weld-on.

Trailer Coupler Lock Recommendation When MasterLock and DeadBolt are Too Long
If you want a bar and key style lock like the deadbolt, the smallest span that will still fit your coupler is 2 inches. So you will have 3/4 inches left over. Since you have already tried MasterLock and Deadbolt, maybe you would be interested in a different type of lock. I have included a link to our coupler lock main page for you to view. You might find something like the Gorilla Guard, # 63227, will give you a better fit.

Reoccuring Corrosion and Fluid Contamination in Master Cylinder
A hydraulic brake system is designed as a closed system. If a master cylinder is kept full of fluid, corrosion is not a problem. My guess is that somehow water is getting into the system through a leaky fitting or cap. If it is your cap that is leaking, if you can provide me with the manufacturer and model number of your master cylinder I would be happy to look for a replacement for you.

Installation of Atwood Replacement Pushrod Kit on Hydraulic Brake Actuator, Coupler
The 85852, Replacement Push Rod Kit for Atwood 82541, is installed in the Atwood, 82541, trailer hitch coupler at the front of the trailer. You will have to disassemble the actuator from underneath and remove the master cylinder with the 4 bolts in the top of the coupler. Be sure to note which parts go where while removing the old parts so that the unit goes back together properly. A digital camera may be helpful. Once the actuator is taken apart assembly with the new parts will be in reverse or

Does the Landing Gear Leg Have to be Lowered to Inspect the Gears
When a landing gear leg fails, the most common cause is the gears. The gears for your Atwood landing gear legs will be located at the top of the legs. If you do not have access to the top of the leg with it mounted to the trailer, then you will have to remove the jack. The gear box should be attached to the drive leg by the drive shaft and crank shaft. You will need to remove the cross shaft (the shaft that connects the drive leg to the follower leg) to lower the drive leg. The gear box, and mot

How to Bleed Hydraulic Brakes with the Atwood Actuator # 84137
A method that we have used to bleed hydraulic brakes with an actuating coupler is to use a pair of vice grips. Attach the vice grips to the front of the ball coupler and slowly push in, then extend the ball coupler into the actuator. Check out the actuator repair video that I have attached. In this video, our installer is repairing an Atwood actuating coupler similar to your # 84137 coupler. At the 6 minute and 30 second mark, he uses a pair of vice grips to bleed the brakes on the trailer.

Does Master Cylinder have to Be Removed to Replace the Boot on an Atwood Brake Actuator
You most likely will have to remove the whole master cylinder in order to replace boot # 84258 on your Atwood coupler because the push rod goes through it. If the coupler is bolted on then it would be easiest to pull it off the trailer to work on it. If it is welded on, according to our installers the easiest thing to do and to avoid a headache is to just replace it with a new one.

Right Side Hydraulic Trailer Brake Locks Up After Braking
You may be getting air in the lines or have a wheel cylinder that needs to be replaced. It is also possible that you have the wrong side brake assembly on that right side but since it is only an issue after braking this is probably not the case. There could be something in the brake assembly itself that is getting stuck. I recommend pulling the wheel and drum off to inspect the operation of the brakes, check for any foreign objects that might be causing the malfunction. If the wheel cylinder

Can an Atwood Drum Actuator be Converted to a Disc Actuator for Disc Trailer Brakes
The master cylinders used in the Atwood drum and disc brake actuators are not interchangeable so you will need to purchase a new disc brake actuator, # 88730, to fit in place of your Atwood drum actuator. We actually have an FAQ article on all the parts needed to switch to disc brakes. One important and often overlooked items is a brake line kit with flexible lines to go to the disc brake calipers. Because the calipers move in and out, flexible lines are required. We have kit # 9579-2.

What is Length of Atwood RV Landing Gear Driver Leg, Part # 71488.
My contact at Atwood essentially verified the measurement you took from your driver leg, part # 71488. Please take a look at the attached diagram which provides dimensions for most of the components in the Atwood powered RV landing gear. The diagram shows the leg length as 29-7/8 but this is certainly quite close to your figure of 29-1/2 inches and is within a reasonable margin of measurement error.

Is the Atwood Deluxe Power Trailer Jack Waterproof
In order for something to be considered waterproof it needs to be able to be submerged underwater for a length of time without allowing any water to seep in. The Atwood Deluxe Power Trailer Jack # 80515 that you referenced is considered weather proof and under normal circumstances would not get damaged by rain. If this was going on a boat trailer you would not want to submerge the jack during launching.

Will Atwood Drum Brake Actuator, Part # 84132, Fit on a Genie TZ50 Tow-Behind Lift
I contacted the technical services department at Genie and asked about the original part number for the drum brake actuator coupler used on their TZ50 tow behind lift. I was given the reference 84460. Since this number resembles those of other Atwood couplers, I next contacted Atwood to confirm. They have no record of this number among their couplers and are not aware that Atwood ever supplied this part to Genie. So I pulled a sample of part # 84132 from our warehouse to take measurements for

What is Required to Convert a Drum Brake Actuator to a Disk Actuator
You do not need to purchase a new brake master cylinder to convert your trailer from drum brakes to disc brakes. If you remove the metal check valve from your current master cylinder you will essentially have a disc brake master cylinder. What you will need to do is remove the large snap ring from the back of your actuator where the brake line attaches, pull the spring out, and at the end of the spring there will be a metal check valve. If you remove that check valve and reassemble the brake

What is the Distance Between Mounting Holes on Atwood Brake Actuating Coupler # 83010
I spoke with my contact at Atwood about actuator # 83010 and he verified that it does in fact have 3 mounting holes. However, he was not 100 percent certain on the hole spacing being 3 inches. I then spoke to my supplier and he personally measured the hole spacing and verified that the holes are 3 inches apart on center.

Replacement Gear Box and Bevel Gear Kit for an Atwood Landing Gear System
I spoke with my contact at Atwood and verified that all of their landing gear sets can use the same gear box, so you can use the Replacement Gear Box Assembly, # 75054SP, that you referenced. I also confirmed with my contact at Atwood, that it is difficult to turn a single motor system into a dual motor system, without adding and replacing a few components of your current system. To turn your single motor system into a dual motor system, you would have to replace the follower leg with a driv

How to Determine What Brand of Landing Gear on 1998 Fleetwood Mallard and Can Gear Box Be Replaced
Usually, you can find the brand and model information directly on top of the jack or landing gear, or sometimes it is near the bottom of the outer tube. A third place to check would be the the housing that covers the gears. If you cannot find it in any of these places, it may be in the owners manual literature. To determine if you can just replace the inner parts and use your existing jack, you will want to inspect the whole jack to make sure everything is structurally sound. Replacing the

Replacing Venture Motor on Atwood Gear Box on Powered Landing Gear
If your motor runs but the landing gear does not move (except when manually cranked) this suggests that the gearbox in the landing gear is still functioning properly but that there is some issue preventing the motor torque from reaching the gearbox. First I suggest you unbolt the motor from the landing gear. Check the motor drive shaft; it is possible that it has been sheared off. If the motor were to remain on after the landing gear legs are fully retracted or fully extended all the force fr

Possible Causes for a Yoke Style Hitch Coupler to Bind
As a first step I suggest you try using a lithium grease to lubricate the moving parts; you could try a grease such as part # L10302, UltraLube Biobased, Multipurpose Lithium Grease - 16-oz Tub. Since the trailer in question has been used by a previous owner there is always the chance that there could be hidden wear on the internal components. Even in normal use these parts can wear and eventually need to be replaced. If an under-sized hitch ball was used (such as a 1-7/8 inch ball in a 2-inc

Electric A-Frame Mount Trailer Jack for a 2013 Winnebago Minnie 2201DS
It looks like the gross trailer weight of the 2013 Winnebago Minnie 2201DS is in the neighborhood of 5,500 pounds. This should put the tongue weight around 550 to 825 pounds (10 to 15 percent of gross trailer weight). Any of the electric A-frame mount trailer jacks we carry are going to have the capacity needed for this trailer. The issue is going to be with the storage box that is directly behind the jack mounting location. This may cause some interference issues. You also need one that has

Replacement Mounting Hardware for a 1200 Pound Fulton Swivel Trailer Jack
I would need to know specifically what model Fulton jack you have.

There are several Fulton swivel jacks that bolt on and are rated for 1,200 pounds so I want to be sure to point you to the right part. The model number should be on a sticker on the outer jack tube. The hardware listed above has 2 rectangular brackets, 4 nuts, and 4 bolts. I have incl

Can Atwood Trailer Brake Actuator # 82541 Be Used for Tandem Axle Trailer and 4 Drum Brakes
Yes, the Atwood actuator, # 82541, will work on a tandem axle with a total of 4 brakes, 2 on each axle. On a drum brake set up, there is always a little pressure built up at the wheel cylinders. The actuator is more than capable of supplying the required amount of pressure for this and for braking events. A surge coupler like this one is going to be the easiest way to actuate hydraulic drum trailer brakes. The other method is to use an electric over hydraulic system. For this you would need t

How to Determine if There is Enough Clearance to Install an Atwood Powered Jack on a Jayco X23B
You will need to do some measuring to determine if the Atwood Power Trailer Jack # AT80718 will fit on your trailer. I would recommend you lower the front bed and measure the distance between the top of the frame of the trailer to where you think it would interfere, if this distance is more than 25-3/4 inches you will be fine. The reason is because the distance from the mounting plate to the top of the jack is 25-3/4 inches. So if the measurement you took is more than that you should be fine
