What Direction Should Demco eZ-Latch Gooseneck Coupler Latch Face
Updated 12/02/2025 | Published 10/28/2025
Question:
Is there a recommendation as to which direction the latch of the coupler should face? I am inclined to face it to the rear for multiple reasons but wanted to double check. Thanks.

Hi Dennis; the Demco eZ-Latch Gooseneck Coupler # DM73KV can face any direction as long as the holes line up. If you think it will work best facing the rear I would install it that way. Worst case, if it doesn't work as well as you want it to you can flip it around to face the front.
