• Identifying Free Backing Trailer Brake Assemblies When Replacing Atwood 85778 Surge Brake
  To 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....

• Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator for Drum Brakes with Lockout
  The Lockout Solenoid Kit # DM5837 you referenced is not designed to fit the DA86 model of Demco actuators, which is the part # DM8608601 you referenced. 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...

• Can an A-Frame Coupler be Removed and a Flat Plate or Channel Coupler Installed in its Place
  Your 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...

• Can The Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Coupler # DM15349-52 Be Mounted On a Lets Go Aero Trailer?
  I reached out to Lets Go Aero for confirmation that you can even use the Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Coupler # DM15349-52 and they said that you will not have any structural issues with having the bolt holes drilled in the sides of your Frame as the Demco will require. Since the holes in the new coupler will not line up centered on your frame rails you will need to pad out the top of the frame 1/2" with some additional steel to center the bolt holes in the tube. You will need the Demco Trailer...

• Is a 2-7/8" Wide Channel Going to Allow For a 3" Wide Channel Coupler?
  I think you may have one of the Curt Channels # CU69FR rather than the more standard 3" wide channel on your trailer. This only fits the Curt SecureLatch Lunette Ring # CU99FR. The Coupler # DM12688-95 you found does require a 3" wide inside channel width. While the parts will sometimes allow for a little play an 1/8" is going to be to much of a difference.

• Is Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator DM8759432 Bolt-On or Weld-On
  While 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...

• Recommended Replacement Coupler for Atwood 83000 Surge Brake Actuator Coupler
  The 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...

• Recommended Channel Mount Coupler/Brake Controller Installation for Trailer Towed By 2010 Tacoma
  The 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 Upgrade

• Replacement for Dico Model 5 Brake Actuator for 1980 V/M Boat Trailer With 4 Inch Channel Tongue
  Unfortunately, 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 #...

• Recommendation for 2 Inch Ball, Bolt-On Trailer Coupler
  I 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...

• Recommended Adjustable 2 Ball Coupler To Replace A Lunette Ring On A Trailer
  If 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.
