Been working great! No issues. The powder coat has held up nicely and the coupler is still smooth.



by:

Quality Seems Great. I did incur a problem with this coupler being slightly wider than the original one that I cut off. This could be in part that I'm switching from a 2" coupler to a 2-5/16". If this is just simply because it's wider you may want to purchase a new bottom jack support plate to install with this. Otherwise excellent service and fast delivery from etrailer yet again!!



by:

Product is good the shipping was way to slow I ordered it on the 5th and watched it sit for 3 days before getting packaged and finally sent out it said when I perchised it the I would receive it by the 10th so it didn’t come until the 12th so it was to late had to buy another one so now I don’t need it



by:

Works great



by:

Perfect fit. I was going to weld it on over the damaged one - should have. Cutting the damaged one off completely generated a torque issue with the frame members that was unexpected.



by:

They were shorted off the original orde r.



by:

Great company with phone support that is fantastic !!



by:

Works great replaced old tunge when you would load something it would pop off the ball of hitch.



by:

Item just as described. Perfect fit. The ONLY part bad on my old coupler was the spring that held the latch down. It would have been great IF someone offered a replacement spring for this BUT it is a welded unit and very hard to remove ANY moving parts. The coupler I ordered was perfect!



by:

Th coupler was installed, and as far as I know, we have not had any issues with this product. The trailer is used regularly to haul steel for our structural steel fabrication shop. Thank you for your excellent service. We buy all of our equipment & trailer products from eTrailer.com.



by:

Package arrived pretty beat up but the coupler was in perfect condition. ( except for the made in china )
Looks like it will work well for what I need. 2 5/16 ball and rated for 14k lbs.
haven’t had it installed yet so 4 stars for now.



by:

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

Ram Products has great import product always very good quality



by:

I need it. You have it. I order it and it comes. Looks like it fits. Couldn't be better unless they installed it too.



by:

Other than being 1 week late because someone dropped the ball . Coupler looks good .



by:

Awesome service



by:

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.



by:

Looks to be well made. Delivery time was awesome. Can't wait to grind off my vintage coupler and get this one welded on.



by:

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:

Arrived when scheduled have not Installed yet. Matching ball size to my other trailers.

It works very well. Replaced a 2 side hinge so now I have all 2-5/16 ball hitches.



by:

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!

Muy buen servicio

Everything I expected from etrailer A quality hitch

From what I can tell this seems to be a quality product. Would do business with etrailer.com again.

  • Difference Between Standard and Underslung B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System
    The difference between the standard and underslung B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System is the coupler style they are designed for. If you have a standard coupler like the # CA-5400-B mounted to the top of your frame then you need the standard Continuum # BW78FR. If you have an underslung coupler mounted to the bottom of your frame like # CA-5335-B then you need the underslung Continuum # BW88FR.

  • Replacement Coupler For a 2017 Grand Design 2670MK with Loose Latch Mechanism
    I recommend switching to the Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler # 12660-97SP on your 2017 Grand Design 2670MK. I cannot locate anyone who carries a replacement latch mechanism for the A-Frame Trailer Coupler # CA-5400-B. With the Demco you can easily replace the latch with the Repair Kit # DM6008. It is also auto latching so you will only need to open the latch when disconnecting your trailer.

  • Available A-Frame Trailer Couplers for Trailer with Electric Drum Brakes
    If your trailer uses electric drum brakes then you do not need a brake actuator-type a-frame coupler like # DM8609502. 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...

  • Is There an A-Frame Trailer Jack for a 2 Inch Opening
    I 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...

  • Tongue Weight Capacity for A-Frame Trailer Coupler # CA-5400-B
    The 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.

  • What Trailer Frame Angle Should A-Frame Trailer be Made to To Fit Standard Couplers
    So 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.

  • Comparing the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution Systems Part # BXW4011 and Part # BXW4012
    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.

  • Difference Between Finishes of A-Frame Couplers CA5400 and CA5400-B
    The 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.

  • Recommended 2" and 2-5/16" A-Frame Couplers for an Older Trailer
    I took a look at your current situation and it's looking like there isn't going to be a replacement latch kit available unfortunately. Instead, you're going to need to replace the entire coupler with something like the A-Frame Trailer Coupler # CA-5210-B which is a weld-on style replacement that'll work with 2" hitch balls and has an 8,000 lb capacity. If you needed a 2-5/16" coupler, then the # CA-5400-B would be better suited for you. This coupler is also has a weld-on install and...

  • Replacement Parts for an A-Frame Atwood Trailer Coupler with 2-5/16 Inch Hitch Ball
    I 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...

  • Replacement For A-Frame Coupler CA5400
    There 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.

  • Is There a Repair Kit For a Thumb Latch Coupler # CA-5400-B?
    Currently the only way to replace the coupler mechanism on the A-Frame Trailer Coupler # CA-5400-B is to replace the entire coupler. If you are going to do this you should look at changing to the Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler # 12660-97SP as it is much easier to use and can be repaired with the Repair Kit # DM6008 in the event it breaks down the road.

  • Solution for Repair Kit for A-Frame Coupler Latch on 1969 Airstream
    I 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.

  • What Is The Angle For The Trailer Tongue For The Etrailer.com Coupler # CA-5400-B
    The 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.

  • What is Difference Between Overslung and Underslung Trailer Coupler
    An underslung trailer coupler is one that attaches to the bottom of the trailer frame and an overslung one is one that attaches to the top of the 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.

  • Can I Rebuild my RAM A-Frame Trailer Coupler CA-5400-B
    The 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...

  • Fulton A-Frame Coupler Repair Kit
    We only have two options for a Fulton A-frame coupler repair kit so I will list them for you here. The # F640801 fits the # F44305R0317 and # F44305R0500. The # F670801 fits the 44125W and 44150W series couplers. None of these are actually 14k so unless that is incorrect I don't think we have a repair kit. A lot of Fulton replacement parts have been out of stock for more than a year since they were acquired by First Brands so it is possible one exists and we don't have it right now. Some...

  • Can Atwood Coupler Be Repaired on Vintage 1967 Airstream Travel Trailer
    According to my research your 1967 Airstream would need the Atwood Repair Kit AT88061, but unfortunately Atwood has gone out of business so this is no longer available. To get a working coupler again you'll need to have your current coupler cut off and a new one welded on, for which I recommend the 14K etrailer A-Frame Trailer Coupler - Thumb Latch - Black - 2-5/16" Ball # CA-5400-B. This is a pretty standard coupler and will do a great job as a replacement for your current setup.
