eZ-Latch Coupler
This coupler features a simple-to-use latching mechanism known as the eZ-Latch. With this mechanism, hooking up is as easy as dropping the coupler over your trailer hitch ball. The latch does not need to be tugged or manually activated to allow the ball into the coupler socket, nor does it have to be secured in place. Just make sure that the coupler is properly lined up with the ball when you lower it, and the rest is automatic. Disengaging the coupler is just as effortless. Simply lift up the contoured handle and the coupler socket will automatically release its grip on the ball. The eZ-Latch's sleek, ergonomically designed handle is also constructed of a durable composite material that's corrosion-proof, allowing it to withstand whatever the road and the elements dish out.

this was an effective solution to a bent trailer coupler and twisted frame. i did add welds and a piece of channel to the frame before i bolted it down. 4 stars because i had to hunt around for a lock long enough to go thru the hole in the front. definitely recommend if you have a difficult repair on a trailer coupler.

My old coupler was pretty used up and rated at only 5000 lbs for a 10,000 lb trailer so it had to go. The new bolt-on 10,000 lb coupler is quality. I like the EZ latch because its smooth, self latching and easy. The job was about four hours including removing old coupler, welding some new channel in and drilling holes. New coupler looks good, works great, and trailer is safer.

When my old coupler failed I was very happy to find a bolt on coupler this heavy as most are weld on for a trailer this heavy. I wish I would have changed the coupler years ago. I always had trouble with the old one. This one is so easy to latch and unlatch from my truck. It is great quality.

Just received the Trailer Coupler. Is very nice!! Heavy Duty! I placed it over the old coupler and it looks like it will work very well. I know what I'll be doing this weekend.

Very solid hitch. Fast shipping. Fits well except your trailer channels need to nearly come to a point for the first set of holes to have anything to bolt to. Mine did not, so I am having it welded on as well. No paperwork or hardware with this package, but the video will answer most all questions.

Coupler mechanism is finicky, you have to shake the trailer tongue to get it to lock. The pin hole is too small in diameter to accept a lock so you have to use a ball lock to lock the trailer. Also it’s plastic so if it sticks you have to be careful tapping on it. I wouldn’t by again and if it breaks I’ll go back to normal coupler.
Comments
The coupler mechanism is adjustable. Use the adjustment bolt on the underside of the latching mechanism to adjust until the coupler will self-latch when set atop the trailer ball.

Hitch works great the only thing holding me back from a five star rating is the plastic latch handle. The latch handle flex's a lot and feels like it would break if pulled hard. I have figured out that if you start to jack the trailer up and then it releases easily. I will defiantly buy this hitch again.

Trailer coupling will not fit correctly on a 2" Ball...to tight and is always difficult to get on and off.
Comments
We have contacted the manufacturer and they suggest pulling forward so that trailer is not pushing against the truck. If the ball is being pushed into the latch mechanism if will be hard to unlatch. Pull forward before unhooking it on a level surface.

- Lock for Demco A-Frame EZ Latch CouplerThe lock I recommend for the Demco A-Frame EZ Latch Coupler # DM14793-81 is the etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock # e98887. This lock is going to do a great job of keeping your trailer safe and sound and will work perfectly with the Demco latch.
view full answer... - Is There a Latch Repair Kit for an Atwood Trailer Coupler 88555There will be no trailer coupler latch repair kit for an Atwood Trailer Coupler 88555 which is discontinued. Unfortunately, the only option is a full replacement for which I recommend the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler part # DM14793-81. This coupler can be bolted-on once you cut the old one off and it doesn't require the handle to be open while coupling.
view full answer... - Solution for Attach Coupler to A-Frame that Would Need to Be Extended 1977 Apache RoamerOnly solution will be to extend out the frame rails of your trailer so that you can install a standard coupler on to them. None of the options out there are going to be large enough to fit your frame channels that basically start too far apart. What I'd do (if you can) is go with the Demco coupler # DM14793-81 that you referenced and have a fabricator come out and have him decide the best way to extend out your frame to install this. This is one of the larger couplers so it wouldn't...

- What is Material of Latch on Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler # DM14793-81The EZ latch of the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler # DM14793-81 that you referenced is made from a composite plastic. I know plastic might seem weak or flimsy, but it's a really strong material that has the benefit of being corrosion resistant.
view full answer... - Is Mounting Hardware Available for the Demco A-Frame Trailer CouplerYou will need to source the mounting hardware for the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler # DM14793-81 locally at a hardware or home improvement store.

When you drop the trailer down onto the ball it will automatically latch and unlatching is as simple as pulling the latch up. It has a black powder coat finish that resists corrosion and bolts onto the frame of your Jayco pop-up camper so you can complete the installation yourself. You can use a torque wrench like # ALL944001 to ensure a tight...

- Replacing Weld-On Coupler with Bolt-On Coupler on Older Winnebago Travel Trailer We have a large selection of A-Frame couplers like what would be on your older Winnebago travel trailer. You can certainly remove your weld-on coupler and replace it with a bolt-on unit, as long as the new coupler's capacity is correct for your trailer and it is the proper size for fitment. I just recommend sanding and painting the tongue after removal. Also just keep in mind that you will need to drill some holes into the tongue so that you can install a bolt-on coupler to replace it. I...

- Trailer Coupler Does Not Fit Securely Around Hitch BallIt sounds like you need to replace your trailer coupler as there should not be excessive up and down or side to side play on the hitch ball. If you do have too much play or the latching mechanism is not functioning properly like you said then you are at risk of the trailer coupler becoming detached from the hitch ball which I am sure I do not have to tell you is very bad. The loose fit around the hitch ball is a tell-tale sign the coupler needs to be replaced. In order to replace the...

I would be surprised if your trailer had a different angle, but to be sure you could use an angle finder to check the angle of your trailer.
view full answer... - Replacement A-Frame Coupler For 2000 Coleman Fairview Pop-Up CamperI recommend Demco A-frame standard coupler that takes a 2" ball part # DM14793-81 because of its eZ-Latch mechanism. The eZ-Latch mechanism makes hooking up easy and disengaging the coupler easy. It's designed with a 2-1/4" diameter jack hole for the jack to fit through. It is also a bolt on design. If you need a more cost effective option, I recommend etrailer.com A-Frame Trailer Coupler part # CA-5210-B which has the same integrated jack hole design but without the eZ-Latch. This...
view full answer... - Standard 50 Degree A-Frame Coupler Fit For Custom Build TrailerA standard 50 degree coupler like # DM14793-81 will work on your custom 45 degree frame with a little modification. Without welding shims the coupler will not have the strength, so you will need to make some adjustments to your current tongue design.

- What is the Height of the Demco # DM14793-81 Trailer CouplerI went out to the warehouse to measure the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler # DM14793-81 that you asked about and found that it measures 3-1/2" from the bottom to the top. I have attached a picture to demonstrate. If your safety chains are welded to the underside of your trailer frame then this coupler will be compatible because it covers the top and sides of the frame.

There are a few 2 inch hitch balls like the Curt # A-90 which is rated to support that capacity. I've copied the page for all the options we have with a 2 inch ball and 10,000 lb capacity.

- Torque Specs for 1/2 Inch Grade 8 Bolts to Install Demco Trailer Coupler DM14793-81Starting with the safety chains they really need to be attached to the trailer frame and not the coupler hardware. If there is no where to attach the chains on the trailer you can weld on safety chain mounting brackets such as # MB12, # MB38, or # MB58. For 1/2 inch Grade 8 bolts you will want to torque them to 115 foot pounds.
view full answer... - Is Mounting Hardware Included with Demco A-Frame Trailer CouplersHardware is not included with Demco coupler # DM14793-81.

To couple or uncouple your trailer you will simply lift the eZ-Latch in the upward position.
