Replacement Surge Brake Actuator Recommendation for Atwood 164310 of Trailer

Published 04/17/2024

Question:

Im needing to replace my surge brake hitch. Doing research comparing photos to the internet and spacing of holes, Im not sure the correct replacement. I think my 2000 Jayco 12u Eagle uses an Atwood Actuator Push Rod Assembly Replacement 164310. Your website, the Demo Hydraulic Break Actuator for Drum brakes looks like it might work, but I only have two holes, not 3. I have photos with measurements if there is anyway of helping solve the mystery of my next hitch. Thanks you.

Hey Nick, so the Atwood surge coupler you have now is a unique coupler in that it's mounting bolt pattern is not shared with other couplers exactly. So your best option is the Demco part # DM72VR that you referenced which may require drilling additional holes. Or if you know a welder they could weld it on as well.
