I would use a protractor, see photo, place the protractor on the edge of the inside of one side of the trailer frame and the other inside edge of the trailer frame should be parallel with the 50 degree line on the protractor. Another way to verify…
The etrailer A-Frame Trailer Coupler w/ Round Jack Hole #CA-5280-RB uses the standard a-frame angle of 50 degrees. The length from the rear of the coupler to where the coupler meets its narrowest point is approximately 9" long. I have include…
Hey Rylan, I checked with Demco for you, and the Demco A-Frame Cast Head Coupler #DM37ZR will need Grade 5 hex bolts for installation. We don't have these but they can be found at any local hardware store.
You could drill into the Bulldog #BD028463 and make it a bolt-on but that's not really ideal. We don't have the exact match in a bolt-on model. We do have part #BD44150WH301 for a bolt-on Bulldog coupler. It has a higher rating but the price…
Hi Marc, thanks for reaching out. While drilling the Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Coupler #DM15349-52 is not the standard mounting method, it is generally preferable to drill the coupler itself rather than adding new holes to your aluminum A-frame.…
Hi Mitch, the etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes, Part #AKEBRK-2, do not include the hubs and drums. This kit only comes with the left and right brake assemblies, so you'll need to purchase the hub and drum assemblies separately. Based on the…
I recommend installing the A-Frame Trailer Coupler #CA-5280-RB on your trailer. This has a cutout with bolt holes for a tongue jack. It places the opening where it is structurally stronger so it is less likely to bend like your current coupler.
Hi Matt, Thank you for the detailed information and all the photos! From the numbers you provided, I determined you do indeed have a Dometic Penguin II. Since you're looking for a white shroud, you'll need the Replacement Shroud for Dometic…
Hey Doug, the Demco Cast Head Coupler w/ Jack Hole #DM37ZR that you referenced doesn't come with hardware as not every application will be exact same and it's best to go with what makes the most sense for your trailer. Usually Grade 8 nuts…
Yes, you will be able to replace your stock coupler with the Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler #DM13205-95 as long as you have a standard a-frame trailer. I attached a picture below of the dimensions below so you can see if it would work for…
Hey Matt, I would highly recommend the Hydrastar Marine electric over hydraulic actuator part #HS481-8067 for your boat trailer. We have found that the Hydrastar actuators are the most reliable and best performing so it's always what I recommend.…
Hi Frank, While we can get you a brake controller for your 2020 Chevy Colorado, there isn't a plug-in option and harness because the truck doesn't have a plug under the dash. That said, the wires are already run to the cab, so it isn't…
