Question:
Are Hit-N-Hitch couplers common enough that I’d see value in stocking the # AL43DQ for resale? trailer dealer in AZ.
asked by: tony
Expert Reply:
Tony, absolutely. The Hit-N-Hitch style has grown in popularity on mid-size RV and livestock trailers. Generic locks usually don’t fit them right, so having the # AL43DQ gives you a true solution to point customers toward if they have that coupler.
If you don't already carry the more common standard ones, I'd recommend ordering some of the flat-lip # AL63DQ and cast # AL38DQ models. Those will likely be more popular for the average customer, unless they have the specific Hit-N-Hitch coupler of course.
