Thanks for the picture Richard, I can tell by your picture you have a Model 6 surge actuator on your trailer which the #T4846500183 is the correct replacement for if you were wanting a channel style inner slide member replacement.
You can convert surge brakes to an electric over hydraulic braking system. To do this, you will need an electric over hydraulic actuator and a brake controller. For an electric over hydraulic actuator, I recommend looking at the Carlisle HydraStar…
Hey Howard, the easiest way to determine what your total trailer weight is would be to find a local weigh station to you and just pull the trailer onto the scales. Then you can determine from there with a tongue weight scale like the part #BTBRV004…
Hi Ryan! The reason the Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10" White Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range E #AM3H480 will not fit the etrailer Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3.5K Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized #AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K…
It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…
Hello Ziggy, Good question. The DeeMaxx Alpha G1600 Plug and Play Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator #DE75KR works with 2017–2022 GM trucks that have built-in brake controllers, like the Silverado and Sierra. It’s built to “trick” the truck into…
First you will need to remove the old hydraulic equipment. Remove the surge coupler or actuator, remove all the lines, and finally remove the brake assemblies. If you have 10 inch diameter hub and drums, you may need to replace those as well. If you…
The channel of the Demco 21K #DM16080-52 coupler is 3 inches deep. The distance from the center of where the trailer ball would sit to the first 5/8 inch hole is 7 inches, and 12 inches to the second hole. The Titan #T4853100 dimensions are a little…
Hey Jim, I attached a picture that has the dimensions between the mounting holes of the Demco Channel Coupler part #DM15931-52 that you referenced. Are these the dimensions you are looking for?
Hey Steve, thanks for the measurements. I'm sorry but we do not have a flat mount coupler with 5-1/2" spaced mounting holes. All of our options are going to be similar to the Demco Trailer Coupler item #DM15080-97 you were looking at. This…
Hi Ian! Disc brakes will need to have at least 1,600 psi from the actuator (drums are 1,000 to 1,200), so you will want to make sure whatever you go with is rated for that. With that said, I recommend the Hydrastar Marine Electric Over Hydraulic…
Hey Rebecca! Information is limited and isn't finalized yet from Trailer Valet since the #TV83FR is still a preorder. However, I was able to find that the full height of the jack when it is retracted is 33" from the wheels to the top. I also…
Durable and Reliable Straight Tongue Trailer Couplers
Straight tongue trailer couplers are essential for securely connecting your trailer to your vehicle. They are designed to withstand harsh elements, ensuring longevity and reliability. When choosing a coupler, consider compatibility with your trailer's ton
Measure your trailer's tongue width and bolt pattern before purchasing. Some couplers may be wider than expected, so double-check dimensions to avoid fitment issues. A perfect fit ensures stability and safety during use.
Brands like Demco and Fulton are known for their high-quality, reliable couplers. Choosing a reputable manufacturer ensures you're getting a product that meets industry standards and user expectations for performance and durability.
Self-centering couplers make hitching easier by aligning themselves with the hitch ball, reducing the hassle of manual adjustments. This feature is especially appreciated for its convenience and ease of use.
Look for couplers made from high-quality materials that resist rust and corrosion. Some users recommend painting with non-skid paint for added protection, especially in saltwater environments. A well-maintained coupler can last decades.
A four-bolt attachment provides a more secure and stable connection compared to two bolts. This method ensures the coupler sits rock solid on the trailer tongue, enhancing safety and performance.
