Everything I expected from etrailer A quality hitch
by: Tim 03/02/2020
Website easy to use. Found exactly what I needed. Very fair price. I needed the coupler soon so I used 3 day shipping. Came when scheduled. Was correct piece. I could not find this piece in my town. One of the trailer repair shops told me about the website. Will definitely use again when I need something for my trailers. Don’t have a picture but it looks like it did when the trailer was new.

Still great. Would recommend

Exact replacement for my 10,000 lb (gross trailer weight) enclosed cargo trailer. I had a professional welder install it, loaded the trailer to 10k, and pulled it 2,000 miles. Works and looks as expected.

It fit great. Very satisfied.
by: Darwin12/29/2018
Just purchased this coupler for the lowbed I am getting ready to rebuild. Like the look and the price of the coupler. Can't wait to cut away the mess the prior owner welded on. figuring the new coupler, jack, safety chains and wiring coupler box will make this a nice complete lowbed trailer to fill my needs for moving my 4x4 Cub Cadet tractor around for working on our properties.
by: Jennifer11/29/2017
We are very happy with our purchase and loving working with etrailer! The prices are great and items come quickly. Everyone at etrailer is always so helpful. We always get the small town feel when ordering from them. The coupler we ordered is exactly what was needed for our snowmobile trailer. Thanks!

Great products, prices and shipping! Chains & tongue that had to be repaced are holding up great!

Excellent service and speedy delivery. interior packaging(box) of one item was damaged, but no damage to the product. Will look to order all my trailer needs in the future with these folks!
by: Kim T.07/20/2016
I looked in a lot of places on the web for this product and found it at etrailer for a good price on both the product and shipping.
by: Maurice09/24/2018
May have given a higher score if not for the fact that it came with quite a few scratches, scrapes, and scuffs. Looked like it had been rattling around with other metal parts. So I had to repaint it. And I don't like to paint.
by: James05/25/2016
+bought to replace a damaged coupler, seems to be good quality at a good price. even with shipping was 1/2 the price of one from the local fleet store- very good value- prompt shipping excellent place to do business with.

See what our Experts say about this etrailer A-Frame Trailer Coupler
- Difference Between Finishes of A-Frame Couplers CA5400 and CA5400-BThe oily finish of the A-Frame Coupler with Oily Finish # CA5400 that you referenced is designed to fight off corrosion. But it's pretty messy when handling so I'd recommend going with the painted version part # CA-5400-B instead.
view full answer... - Replacement For A-Frame Coupler CA5400There are no repair kits available for the A-Frame Coupler # CA5400, so the best we can offer is to replace it with the same or, if you don't want the oily finish, the A-Frame Trailer Coupler # CA-5400-B.
view full answer... - What Trailer Frame Angle Should A-Frame Trailer be Made to To Fit Standard CouplersSo the standard angle for A-frame trailers where the two beams meet is 50 degrees. So while I can't get you a CAD drawing for the coupler part # CA-5400-B if you are trying to design your trailer to have the correct angle for the A-frame you should make it as close to 50 degrees as you can and standard couplers like this will fit and work well.
view full answer... - How Do I Get a VIN Number For My New Trailer?When you have a trailer with no VIN number, you will need to contact your State Highway Patrol to have them inspect your trailer and issue you a VIN so you can properly register it.
view full answer...
- When Does An A-Frame Coupler Need Replacing?An A-Frame trailer coupler like # CA-5400-B is bad and needs replaced if it no longer connects to your trailer hitch ball correctly with its latching mechanism, no longer supports the trailer jack, is not solidly connected to your trailer frame (has cracks), or can't handle the weight capacity it was intended to due to corrosion or impact from an accident.
view full answer... - Tongue Weight Capacity for A-Frame Trailer Coupler # CA-5400-BThe tongue weight capacity of the A-Frame Trailer Coupler # CA-5400-B that you referenced is 2,100 lbs. The overall trailer weight capacity for the coupler is 14,000 lbs.
view full answer... - Fit and Compatibility of etrailer 2-5/16 A-Frame Trailer CouplerThe etrailer # CA-5400-B weld-on coupler you were looking at would be a great replacement for your current Parker Performance A-frame coupler. This coupler has a 2-5/16 inch ball and a weight capacity of 14,000lbs. I have linked this product to this page for your purchasing convenience.

- What Is The Angle For The Trailer Tongue For The Etrailer.com Coupler # CA-5400-BThe A-Frame Trailer Coupler - Thumb Latch - Black - 2-5/16" Ball - Weld On - 14,000 lbs # CA-5400-B is designed to fit over the frame of your trailer and sit flat. The angle of the trailer frame to the bottom of the coupler shouldn't change as this is not an underslung coupler. They will be parallel. The angle of the trailer frame side to side is most likely what you are asking and it is the standard 50 degree angle.
view full answer... - Is There A Repair Kit Available For The A-Frame Coupler CA-5400-BThe only option we will have would be a full replacement of the coupler. Unfortunately, there currently is not a repair kit offered for the # CA-5400-B couplers. As this is a weld on coupler, the latch components can be removed from a new one and then installed on your current one.

view full answer... - Available A-Frame Trailer Couplers for Trailer with Electric Drum BrakesIf your trailer uses electric drum brakes then you do not need a brake actuator-type a-frame coupler like # T4067600. Instead you can use a standard a-frame coupler like # CA-5210-B since your brakes' power will come from the signal carried on the 7-way trailer wiring harness. You will want to choose a coupler that matches or exceeds the trailer's GVWR, its gross vehicle weight rating. The coupler referenced above is rated for 8000-lb trailers but we have lots of similar a-frame couplers...
view full answer... - Can I Rebuild my RAM A-Frame Trailer Coupler CA-5400-BThe A-Frame Trailer Coupler part # CA-5400-B is a full replacement and the only way I know to repair it when it is broken. The Repair Kit for etrailer and Ram A-Frame Couplers part # CA-5100-RK is designed for original trigger latch couplers different than yours. The A-Frame Trailer Coupler w/ Round Jack Hole part # CA-5280-RB is a nice upgrade that can be made which is a 15K coupler that is easier to use and service. Repairs can be made if you're confident it will work and hold but by...
view full answer... - Can You Tighten An A-Frame Coupler Or Must It Be ReplacedIf you feel the connection point between your trailer coupler and hitch ball is too loose then the trailer coupler will need to be replaced because there is no way to tighten this. The connection point does need to be loose enough for the coupler to rotate on the hitch ball but not loose enough where you have a bunch of play. If you are in doubt it would be wise to replace the entire trailer coupler for both peace of mind and security. In some cases, you can obtain a trailer coupler repair...
view full answer... - Recplement for the Shelby A-Frame Coupler 5104The best replacement for your Shelby A-Frame Coupler 5104 is the A-Frame Trailer Coupler part # CA-5400-B. The Shelby 5104 fits a standard 50-degree a-frame, has a 13,000 lb weight capacity, and uses a 2-5/16" hitch ball. The A-Frame Trailer Coupler also fits a standard 50-degree a-frame and uses a 2-5/16" hitch ball but has a 14,000 lb weight capacity. In order to install this trailer coupler you will need to cut the old one off and weld the new one on. In order to protect your trailer...
view full answer... - Replacement Parts for an A-Frame Atwood Trailer Coupler with 2-5/16 Inch Hitch BallI do have an option for you but we no longer carry the Coupler Repair Kit for Atwood 2-5/16" Yoke Style part 15774. Instead, I recommend replacing the entire coupler for which you can use the A-Frame Trailer Coupler part # CA-5400-B. Atwood was bought out by Lippert and their parts are becoming increasingly harder to find which is why I recommend a replacement coupler. This coupler fits most standard a-frame trailers and will accept a 2-5/16" hitch ball. It also has a black powder coat...
view full answer... - Solution for Repair Kit for A-Frame Coupler Latch on 1969 AirstreamI do have a solution, but those repair kits are designed for an Atwood coupler and have been discontinued. Atwood couplers are no longer made so neither are the parts. The best solution is to replace the coupler with a new one. For a weld-on option you could use the # CA-5400-B or for a bolt-on the # DM13205-95. I have attached some review videos along with a link to all of our A-frame 2-5/16 couplers for your reference.
view full answer... - Replacement for Weld-On A-Frame Coupler with 14,000 lb CapacityThe coupler you referenced does not have replacement parts or a latch repair kit so if the thumb latch is busted you will need to replace the unit with the A-Frame Coupler # CA5400. You can replace it with the same unit, the A-Frame Coupler # CA5400 which has has an oily finish but the same one is available without the oily finish and a black coat of paint, the A-Frame Trailer Coupler # CA-5400-B. There is another option if you want to go with a different manufacturer, the Fulton A-Frame...

The Replacement Head for Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution Systems part # BXW4011 is for trailers with an overslung mounted trailer coupler like part # CA-5400-B whereas the Replacement Head for Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution Systems part # BXW4012 is for trailers with an underslung mounted trailer coupler like part # CA-5335-B.

view full answer... - Coupler Repair Kit for 1987 Airstream with 2-5/16-Inch Trailer CouplerTrailer makers like the good folks at Airstream generally don't keep track of the brand and model of coupler they install so you'll want to try to find branding and part number information stamped into the coupler on your trailer. We do have repair/rebuild kits and replacement parts for many brands and models of A-frame coupler that are displayed on the linked page.

view full answer... - Is There an A-Frame Trailer Jack for a 2 Inch OpeningI have a few options for you but almost all a-frame trailer jacks has a 2-1/4" diameter outer tube. Therefore, in order to install an a-frame trailer jack like the Bulldog Round A-Frame Jack part # BD155022 which has a 2-1/4" diameter outer tube you will either need to simply open up the hole you have another 1/4" or replace the trailer coupler with one like the A-Frame Trailer Coupler part # CA-5210-B or part # CA-5400-B. Although not ideal because of instability issues, there is also...

This will use the Footplate for 2,000-lb and 5,000-lb Round, A-Frame Jacks # JF-99.
