Expert Reply:
The Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator # DM72VR will replace your Atwood 171 actuator. This surge brake actuator will work for drum brakes and has no reverse lock out but is recommended that you equip your trailer with free-backing brakes so you can drive in reverse without the actuator triggering your trailer's brakes.
The actuator has a gross towing weight up to 7,000 pounds and has a maximum tongue weight up to 700 pounds. The mounting has to have a 3 inch wide trailer tongue.
If you could reach back out to me with what weight capacity axles you have I will be able to find you the correct free backing brakes for your trailer.
