Expert Reply:
Friction sway control units like the part # 83660 require drilling into the frame of the trailer for installation. You would need to contact the manufacturer of your trailer to determine if they are okay with you doing that on your trailer. Most likely you would be fine, but you still need to check since aluminum trailer frame manufacturer are a bit more particular than steel frame trailers.
