Replacement A-Frame Trailer Coupler For 1978 Airstream With 50 Degree A-Frame
Question:
Is this coupler appropriate for a 31’ vintage airstream 1978. Or is the a different model I should be looking at?

Expert Reply:
It would appear that that your 1978 Airstream had the standard 50 degree a-frame style coupler. You can verify this to ensure that the etrailer A-Frame Trailer Coupler # CA-5280-RB will fit correctly on your Airstream.
I personally prefer the auto latching style couplers like the Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler # 12660-97SP. This coupler for me is cleaner and works simpler with the latching system. The connection for the jack has nuts welded on to the bottom of the plate making installing the jack much easier.
