You will need to contact the trailer manufacturer to see if there is a problem with drilling a hole for the pin in the tube on the trailer to use with the # BD0287610300 inner tube. This tube has a diameter of 4 inches so you want to make sure the outer tube you have can accommodate the tube.

You may want to consider another option which is to remove your old coupler and use a new one like part # BD0289500300. This should be installed by a qualified welder.
