Video Transcript for Repair Kit for etrailer and Ram A-Frame Couplers Review
Today, we're going to be taking a look at and also showing you how to repair an A-frame trailer coupler. Part number we're using today is CA-5100-RK. This is going to be the repair kit for the etrailer and RAM style A-frame couplers. It also works on several other types of A-frame couplers as long as they use that trigger latch design. This works for 2 inch balls, and it has a 5,000 pound weight capacity. Here's what our basic coupler mechanism's going to look like. As you can see, you've got our latch handle here.
Trigger is right here. As that comes down, you can see it's going to compress this spring. It pulls up on the lower mechanism there. Our latch goes in there. That's what's going to hold it down, and our ball is going to sit right in this little recessed area, this little dented area just like that.
That captures that ball right up here in the front. You can kind of see how it works there. That's going to keep everything nice and tight as we head down the road. Now, these do fail from time to time. Maybe it's rusted up and it just won't move anymore.
Sometimes the springs are going to break, the latches quit working, whatever the case may be. Rather than having to go have your coupler cut off your trailer and have a new one welded on or unbolt this one and re-buy it, we can just get that latch mechanism. It's going to be a simple process as far as removing it goes and re-installation. We're just going to do it with this one. I just wanted to give you kind of an idea of how this looks. We'll open that lever up.
That spring that we talked about that sometimes fails, we need to compress that down kind of like that. It's going to allow that nut to be freed up in there a little bit. Push that keeper down so we can loosen that up. Once that's off, we're going to take out the little keeper that was in there. You can see that little spring loaded spacer there. Little square spacer there. You can see that's contoured to fit that edge, and then this kind of rotates over that pin. You see that pin that fits through there This is going to rotate over that. Spring comes off, and then we'll be pulling this out. At that point, we grab our new one. Want to fit this right back down through that hole. We'll place our spring back on the bolt. Want to bring that actual coupler itself around that rod, that spacer block that's going to go up and in, little spring, got our keeper plate, and then we've got our nylon locking nut. We want to tighten that up until that bolt passes through the threads on our nylon lock nut there. Once that comes through, just align our nut up. You can see that keeper's then going to keep that from being able to rotate either way. Let that go right down on the ball of our trailer. Bring our handle closed, and then we can check that for fit. If it's a little bit too tight or if we struggle in getting our latch closed, well then we want to loosen that up maybe a turn. If it latches real super easy and then we've got some wiggle room in there, then tightening up our nut's going to be what we'll want to do to kind of tighten up that space in there. Really easy, quick, simple switch that can be made and really save you quite a bit of money.

I ordered this part because I only needed these parts and not the whole hitch. The parts were identical to the parts that was broken. I did a search on the web for the parts and these were the cheapest. I am glad I ordered them. 422704

Ask the Experts about this etrailer Accessories and Parts
- Availability of Repair Kit for Atwood Yoke Style Coupler The AT15775 part that you referenced was a replacement latch repair kit from Atwood for yoke style A-frame couplers. This kit is no longer available. Atwood was recently bought out and their parts are becoming more and more difficult to find, so your best option is likely to replace your coupler altogether. For a replacement yoke style coupler for 2 inch hitch balls, I recomend the etrailer.com # CA-5210-B. This coupler features overall dimensions of 13-3/4 inches long, 9-1/2 inches...
view full answer... - Repair Kit Availability for Shelby 5135 2 inch CouplerI do have a solution for you but unfortunately, the CA-5100-RK isn't compatible with your Shelby 5135 coupler. While there isn't a repair kit available for your coupler, replacing the entire unit is just as cost effective. For a very similar replacement, I recommend the etrailer.com Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # CT-5003-Z. This takes a 2 inch ball, is rated for 5,000 lbs and fits a 3 inch wide channel just like your Shelby coupler. I've attached a photo showing the mounting hole distance...

- Replacement Latch Repair Kit for a Fulton 2 Inch A-Frame Trailer Coupler The Repair Kit for etrailer and Ram A-Frame Couplers part # CA-5100-RK could very well work with the Fulton a-frame trailer coupler on your 2003 Coleman Cheyenne Folding Pop-Up Camper as the design is relatively the same. However, we have not yet tested the two products together therefore the only way to know for sure if it would work would be to try it for yourself. We currently do not offer a latch repair kit for a Fulton 2" trailer coupler so I would first try the above latch and...

- Replacement Trailer Coupler Repair Kits for 2-Inch CouplersCoupler Repair Kit # CA-5100-RK includes all parts needed to rebuild an etrailer brand or Ram brand 5K-rated 2-inch ball coupler with a trigger latch. It consists of all components other than the housing. If you have one of these models - # CA5100B, # CA-5100-Z or CA-5100-BLB - then this is the correct rebuild kit. If you have another brand or model of coupler on your trailer you can refer to the linked page that displays all such kits for many brands of coupler. The Big Tex website...

The kit you need will depend on what type of coupler you have and its manufacturer. For example, the etrailer Repair Kit # CA-5100-RK that you were looking at is designed to work with Ram or etrailer 5,000 pound A-frame couplers with trigger latch. If you are able to tell me what type of coupler you have on your Coleman Pop-Up Camper, I will be happy to see if we have a repair kit that will work. I have...
view full answer... - Latch Repair Kit For Hustler Trailer CouplerIt sounds like you are looking for the trailer coupler latch repair kit for your Hustler trailer. We offer several different repair latch kits but they are specific to the coupler on the trailer, so without knowing the manufacturer and model number of the coupler, I really wouldn't be able to specify the correct replacement latch kit. There should be some identifying numbers or manufacturer and model stamped on the coupler. This would make it much easier to find the replacement repair...
view full answer... - Replacement for Pro Series A-Frame Trailer Coupler with Broken LatchIf the trigger broke on your Pro Series A-Frame Trailer Coupler # PSE338050303 then you would need to replace the whole unit. I reached out to my contact at Pro Series who said that they unfortunately do not have carry any replacement parts for this coupler. A similar option would be the A-Frame Coupler # CA5100B which also has a 5,000 lb weight capacity and is compatible with 2" hitch balls. The latch system is a little different but because of this there is a replacement part # CA-5100-RK...

- Where to Find Coupler Manufacturer NameThe manufacturer's name should be stamped somewhere on the coupler itself. The information is usually located on the top of the coupler, to the rear of the latch. The capacity of the coupler and the size ball the coupler is intended to be used with will be stamped there as well.
view full answer... - Can You Get a Trailer Coupler Repair Kit for Trailer With No Coupler MarkingsI do have an option for you but the trailer coupler repair kits are model specific so in order to obtain the correct one you will need to know what exact model you have. That said, the sticker with this information can wear off which it sounds like is the case for you trailer so there is not going to be a good way to identify it therefore a trailer coupler repair kit is not your best option unless you just want to keep purchasing different kits until you find one that fits. Although this...
