Question:
We just ordered this a frame to replace the one we had on it. When we slide yours on, it has a gap of about and inch on both sides. Our frame measures like 8.5 inches and yours is 11 ish. Do you have one with a small opening to slide on the trailer frame?? Thank you Heidi

Hey Heidi! I don't see an order but I'm guessing it is the # BD028463 which fits a standard 50º A-frame. Since your angle is smaller you probably have a 32º A-frame but you need to measure to be sure. Assuming that is correct, you can use a coupler like the Demco 32-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler # DM15633-81 (black) or # DM15633-52 (silver) which welds on for installation. Let me know if you need anything else.

Hey Heidi, did you have a chance to measure your A-frame to see if it's the 32º angle? I'm curious if the Demco coupler worked out for you, as it might help others facing a similar issue.
