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.

I decided I wanted to renew my Dad's old trailer. Starting with a trailer coupler upgrade to the adjustable "eZ-Latch". Thanks to etrailer it was an easy, convenient one stop shop and I couldn't be more pleased with the products and service. When it comes time to do the running gear and tires, etrailer will be my source. Thank you!

Nice piece, very well made. Its just as advertised and simple to latch the coupler onto the ball. My trailer came with a pintle hitch and I hated the slop, this is tight, quiet and rated for 10K.

Works great! No rust. Complete confidence hauling my towable air compressor. Much nicer than the pintle hitch once connected.

Hooking up to new coupler is so easy. Doesn't matter if it has dropped or not it still locks on. Great coupler doubt I will ever have any trouble with it

Review from a similar eZ Latch Coupler in Adjustable Trailer Coupler
I love Demco Couplers, they are so easy to use and so well constructed. I have been changing the couplers on all of my equipment to Demco. etrailer is the is by far the best place to get them, along with numerous other items like trailer jacks, lights, hitches, etc. Great customer service, fast shipping, great prices, what more could you ask?

Review from a similar eZ Latch Coupler in Adjustable Trailer Coupler
Trailer coupler was easy to install, fits over tow ball and locks with ease. I’ve ordered other trailer parts from E Trailer and they always have shipped quickly and parts have always been what’s specified on their website. And their videos are very helpful when ordering parts. I highly recommend ordering parts from this company.

Review from a similar eZ Latch Coupler in Adjustable Trailer Coupler
Awesome coupler. You cannot forget to lick in your hitch ball with this. It automatically locks in place when you drop it on the ball and the flip latch is easy to release the ball when unhooking. There is a reason Airstream has this on all their new travel trailers

Review from a similar eZ Latch Coupler in Adjustable Trailer Coupler
This item was on backorder, but they kept me up to date on the status and once etrailer received the item it was shipped immediately, along with a proper tracking number. I have made other purchases and etrailer has a great selection and customer service. This new ball couple is far superior in function compared to my old one-great addition to my trailer.

This is by far the best ball hitch I have ever used. It makes hooking up and unhooking a breeze.

Review from a similar eZ Latch Coupler in Adjustable Trailer Coupler
This is the best hitch on the market! I've changed over all 4 of my trailers to this hitch. Simple hook/unhook, releases off the ball smooth, no pins to mess with. The included steel bracket (product #DM6125-81) is super heavy duty & so is the hitch itself, plenty heavy for any 2 5/16" trailer. I hacked off my existing hitches w a cutoff saw, welded a plate then the bracket and did each of my trailers , w paint, in less than an hour.

Review from a similar eZ Latch Coupler in Adjustable Trailer Coupler
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.

Review from a similar eZ Latch Coupler in Adjustable Trailer Coupler
Installed this AWESOME hitch on my 20 ft equipment trailer after I upgraded to 8k axles. This hitch is a beast. I love the no touch when hooking up. Just lower the trailer down and it makes a positive lock sound. I welded the hitch to a 1/2 inch thick plate. Welded the plate onto the trailer and used my own gussets instead of the supplied ones. You won’t go wrong with this hitch!

- Replacement Surge Brake Actuator Assembly for Boat Trailer 3" Straight Bolt PatternThe Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator # DM8669112 will fit the 3" frame on your boat trailer. I have attached a picture that will show the different bolt patterns as this on will sit above the frame and not quite on the frame. The 3 hole straight that you have will have bolt holes that are 0.85" below the top of the frame while the 3 hole standard holes on the # DM8669112 are 1.5" below the top of the frame rail. I recommend the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator w/ Manual Lockout # DM8760011....

- Is Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator DM8759432 Bolt-On or Weld-OnWhile we do have a bolt-on option, the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator - Drum - Primed - 12" Adjustable Channel Down - 8,000 lbs # DM8759432 is actually a weld-on actuator. If you are looking for a bolt-on option, there are a couple similar options: - Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator - Drum - Zinc - 12" Adjustable Channel Center - 8,000 lbs # DM8758521 - Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator - Drum - Zinc - 8" Adjustable Channel Down - 8,000 lbs # DM8759231 Your 11 inch channel is more than long...

- Identifying Free Backing Trailer Brake Assemblies When Replacing Atwood 85778 Surge BrakeTo check for a Free Backing Hydraulic Trailer Brake # AKFBBRK-35 you will need to remove your brake drum assembly. The free backing brakes have a different front brake shoe. This shoe is designed to fall away when the trailer is moving in reverse. The fall away brake shoe will have a pivot point in the shoe that allows it to fall away(See Image). The Demco Hydraulic Trailer Brake Actuator # DM72VR can be used with the free backing brakes as the Demco 8605001 is no longer an active item....

- Replacement for Dico Model 5 Brake Actuator for 1980 V/M Boat Trailer With 4 Inch Channel TongueUnfortunately, we don't offer a surge coupler to designed to slip over a 4 inch trailer tongue. I tried doing a Google search for a Dico model 5 to locate a recommended replacement, and got zero results and didn't get any results for 4 inch wide surge coupler either. I believe your best choice would be a weld on application like # DM8759922 which would weld to the top of the trailer tongue. You'll want to use a professional welder to do this for you. You'll also need a coupler like #...

- Recommended Adjustable 2" Ball Coupler To Replace A Lunette Ring On A TrailerIf you are replacing your current lunette ring, you will need to check on 2 measurements to make sure a coupler will fit your channel. First will be the width and second will be the hole spacing. As an example, the Demco Trailer Coupler - Adjustable Channel Mount # DM12688-95 will fit a 3" wide channel and will have 2" hole spacing when measured center to center. This is also designed for the use with a 2" ball and will have a 10,000 max capacity. Odds are this will match what you have...

- Recommended Replacement Coupler for Atwood 83000 Surge Brake Actuator CouplerThe Atwood 83000 was a 8,000 lb drum brake actuator for a 2 inch hitch ball that has been discontinued. For a replacement I recommend the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator w/ Drop - Drum - Zinc - 2" Ball - 8,000 lbs # DM8669112. The only other option for that 8,000 lb capacity is a channel mount like the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator - Drum - Zinc - 8" Adjustable Channel Down - 8,000 lbs # DM8759131 which will allow you to use a coupler like the Demco Trailer Coupler - Adjustable Channel...
view full answer... - Distance Between Mounting Holes of Demco Coupler part # DM12688-95The distance between the mounting holes of the Demco Coupler part # DM12688-95 that you referenced is 2 inches. The diameter of the holes is 11/16 inches. The inside channel width of the coupler is 2 inches too.
view full answer... - Recommended Channel Mount Coupler/Brake Controller Installation for Trailer Towed By 2010 TacomaThe Demco # DM12688-95 you've looked at would be a good choice. The 2 inch channel mount coupler is compatible with a 3 inch channel, and has bolt spacing of 2 inches on center. Demco is known for high quality products, you'll get years of service out of the coupler. With a 10K capacity it'll be a lot stronger than you really need, but whenever you're talking weight capacities and safety, a little overkill is a good thing. I've heard of absolutely no problems with the Demco Ez-Latch system....

- Recommended Replacement Surge Brake Actuator For Atwood 85778 For Drum Brakes or Disc Brake UpgradeYou are correct that parts are no longer available for your Atwood 85778 brake actuator. I recommend the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator w/ Manual Lockout # DM8760011 as a replacement if you wish to keep your drum brakes. A Demco Trailer Coupler # DM12688-95 will attach to the 3" channel on the actuator for a 2" ball connection. It really comes down to if you are happy with the performance of your current drum brakes. I like seeing disc brakes used in heavy duty applications, on boat...

There is an alternative option for a similar hydraulic drum brake actuator with a lockout that I recommend checking out, the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator w/ Manual Lockout - Drum - Zinc - 8" Adjustable Channel - 8K # DM8760011. This is just the channel portion of the coupler and I recommend adding the Demco Trailer Coupler - Adjustable...
view full answer... - Recommendation for 2 Inch Ball, Bolt-On Trailer CouplerI have a solution for you, but Titan does not offer their Bolt-On Coupler for 2-5/16 Inch Ball # T4855300 in a 2 inch hitch ball design. For a bolt-on trailer coupler with a trigger latch, designed for a 2 inch ball I recommend the Demco Trailer Coupler, Adjustable Channel Mount, # DM12688-95. This coupler will mount in a 3 inch channel, like # DM59601, and has a weight capacity of 12,500 pounds. This is the highest capacity adjustable mount coupler we offer for a 2 inch hitch ball. There...
view full answer... - Bolts for Demco Channel Mount Trailer CouplerThe Demco Trailer Coupler # DM12688-95 does install to a channel bracket using bolts like what we find in the Kit # DM6166. If you were looking for a bolt-on channel bracket then the part # DM13867-52 would be what you're looking for which fits 3" wide channel tongues. If you were talking about something else please let me know and I'd be happy to look into it.
view full answer... - Can an A-Frame Coupler be Removed and a Flat Plate or Channel Coupler Installed in its PlaceYour plan could definitely work but what I would do is weld on a channel, such as # DM59601, and using a coupler such as # DM12688-95 for a 2 inch ball or # DM07678-95 for a 2-5/16 inch ball. And of course, some hardware, # PS024202, to mount the coupler to the channel. This type of set up was designed to take off/move the coupler more so than a flat mount. Like you said there is a lot of welding that will need to be done especially to reach the capacity needed. It sounds like you have...
