Question:
I am looking for a replacement for an Atwood 87558. I purchased a Demco DM72VR, but it does not fit. This is going on a camper and slides into a slot instead of over the frame. The dimensions need to fit into a 3.5in slot and the Demco is 3.75in wide. Any idea on what I would need to purchase? See attached pictures. In the instructions it would be picture #4 on page 6.

Expert Reply:
Instead of using the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator # DM72VR I recommend using the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator # DX33FR.
I went out to our warehouse and confirmed this coupler has a 3-7/16" max width which looks to be exactly what you need for your trailer.
