Question:
If someone is building me an aluminum trailer and I need to purchase a trailer coupler, does it matter if the coupler is made out of steel?

Expert Reply:
You can safely use a Straight Tongue Coupler # DM13689-95 or A-Frame Coupler # DM13205-95 with your aluminum trailer frame. The zinc coating on these are not going to have any reaction with the aluminum frame.
Do be sure any channels use spacers in the frame to prevent it from collapsing when tightened.
