Hello Bruno, thanks for reaching out. The Demco # DM72VR can be used to replace your old Atwood 61101. The Demco actuator uses 3 holes and you will need to use all three holes for mounting. If your tongue only has two holes currently, a 3rd hole will need to be drilled.

Hey Bruno, did you get a chance to drill the third hole for the Demco actuator? I'm curious to know how it worked out for you, as it could really help others in a similar situation.
