Thanks Kate! I was helping a friend move their 5th wheel a few miles, and thought they had the same attachment, but they had a metal triangle in the back I didn't notice. The plate on my current head actually has a decent dent on one side of it. I was lucky that the coupler didn't detach, my current head is useable, but not sure I want to risk it on the interstate. The base and frame are still all solid, just need need to replace the head from a stupid mistake.
