Question:

Have an Atwood 83000. I’m not sure if that’s the right number, also has 83005, and 83010 on it. Looking for a bolt on replacement. I saw where you told some one else the Titan T43397007K would replace it. But looking for the same weights 8000lb and 1000 tongue. Also have drum brakes.

Expert Reply:

The Atwood 83000 was a 8,000 lb drum brake actuator for a 2 inch hitch ball that has been discontinued. For a replacement I recommend the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator w/ Drop - Drum - Zinc - 2" Ball - 8,000 lbs # DM8669112. The only other option for that 8,000 lb capacity is a channel mount like the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator - Drum - Zinc - 8" Adjustable Channel Down - 8,000 lbs # DM8759131 which will allow you to use a coupler like the Demco Trailer Coupler - Adjustable Channel Mount - eZ-Latch - Zinc - 2" Ball - 10,000 lbs # DM12688-95.
