Comparing CA-5196-B And BD028288 Couplers And Availability Of Bolt-On Options  

I checked the Featherlite Trailer website for specs on the model 3116 trailer but this part number returned no results. But if your trailer uses an industry-standard 50-degree a-frame design then the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler #DM16680-52 will fit…

Yes, you can replace your weld-on coupler with a bolt-on. You'll just need to drill the holes. Then, if you wanted to go back to a weld-on later that would be fine too. Just to confirm you can check with the trailer's manufacturer that…

I tend to prefer the look of the American made Curt hitch #C13421 for your 2022 Honda Passport as it is less obvious than the Draw-Tite once installed. This has a black powder coat finish over a protective base coat and I have found it to hold up…

Yes, you can use the Trailer Coupler Lock part #e98888 to prevent the hitch ball from coming uncoupled from the Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler part #DM16680-52. The lock will install in the pin hole directly below the latch which you can see…

I would use a protractor, see photo, place the protractor on the edge of the inside of one side of the trailer frame and the other inside edge of the trailer frame should be parallel with the 50 degree line on the protractor. Another way to verify…

The etrailer A-Frame Trailer Coupler w/ Round Jack Hole #CA-5280-RB uses the standard a-frame angle of 50 degrees. The length from the rear of the coupler to where the coupler meets its narrowest point is approximately 9" long. I have include…

All of the A-frame couplers we carry are for the standard 50 degree A-frames. What you could do, since your A-frame is a lower angle, is have some steel spacers welded on to get to 50 degrees and then use a weld-on coupler. I have linked the weld-on…

The Sleeve-Lock A-Frame Trailer Coupler #CA-5196-B was designed for attaching to the standard 50 degree a-frame channels found at the front of trailers. If you have a different angle that doesn't sit flush a better choice might be to go with a…

Yes, the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler #DM14793-52 that you referenced could have holes drilled to match what you have on your trailer. This coupler would be a great option to replace a Ram brand coupler. I attached a picture that shows how the…

The A-frame couplers we carry, like #12660-97SP, are weld-on applications and cannot be bolted on to a trailer frame. Any welding should be done by a qualified welder in a shop that works on trailers. The coupler you have reference accepts a 2-5/16…

I had the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler - Zinc - 2" Ball #DM12717 measured and included a diagram with the spacing you are looking for, and a little more if needed. With that being said, from the center of the first bolt hole to the…

Starting with the safety chains they really need to be attached to the trailer frame and not the coupler hardware. If there is no where to attach the chains on the trailer you can weld on safety chain mounting brackets such as #MB12, #MB38, or #MB58.…
