For the Jayco RD-19 you would use the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator - Drum - Primed - A-Frame - Adjustable Channel Center - 8,000 lbs # DM8759522 and then the Demco Trailer Coupler - Cast - Adjustable Channel - eZ-Latch - Black - 2-5/16" Ball - 21K # DM14040-81. Then use Hardware Kit for Demco Adjustable Channel Mount Couplers # DM6166.
