Availability Of Yoke-Style A-Frame Coupler For 2-5/16" Ball

Question

Question:

Hello, I am looking at the Yoke Style A-Frame trailer coupler CA-5210-B. I have seen this same Atwood Yoke Style before in a 2-5/16 size, but I cannot find them for purchase anywhere. Is this something that you might know where to find? Thank you!

Hey Sam, thanks for reaching out. We do have 2-5/16" A-frame couplers, but I am not seeing we have one with a yoke-style latch.

If you want something similar, the A-Frame Trailer Coupler # CA-5280-RB fits a 2-5/16" ball and has a squeeze-style latch.

Or if you want the best we offer, that will be the Demco # DM16680-52 which has their patented EZ-latch. It has a composite latch handle and makes for a super secure connection. This has been my go-to coupler for a few years now.

Just curious, what do you like so much about the yoke latch? Would you be willing to go with something different?

I bought this extended A-Frame couple for one reason. I wanted to be able to open my tail gate to access my generator for boondocking nights without unhitching and all the other gear in the back. THIS IS THE WAY THEY SHOULD COME FROM THE FACTORY!! Took a trip to Alaska, 51 days on the road and half the time I didn't unhook. Just do it, easy install for a welder dude lol. Pictures on request

@TimP That’s an awesome use case, Tim! Being able to drop the tailgate and access your generator without unhooking is a huge win, especially on long trips like that Alaska run. Sounds like it really paid off in convenience. Love the “this is how it should come from the factory” comment too, hard to argue with that. Appreciate you sharing your experience!

Answer 1

I know this is not what you want to hear but the vast majority of trailer couplers cannot be repaired, they will instead need to be replaced. There are very few trailer coupler repair kits available and they are by no means universal. Therefore,…

You'd just have to physically go out to your trailer and measure the angle. So to do this, you'd need to get a protractor or something similar and place it on the edge of the inside on one side of the trailer frame, and check to see if the…

Hey Bill! I went to inTech's website and we do not have an exact replacement for their coupler but we have something that will work. It's the Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler w/ Jack Hole and Anchors item #DM16680-52. The Demco item…

Answer 6

Hey Robbie, A slight amount of wiggle room is necessary for a trailer coupler like the Demco #DM16680-52 you were looking at. If the latch mechanism is too tight then you wouldn't be able to get coupled to the hitch ball and the latch would…

Answer 7

Yes, the Demco coupler part #DM16680-52 is safe to use on a 31 foot air stream trailer like you have. Bolting on and welding on coupler is both perfectly safe to do. I would agree bolt on is easier in a sense but if you have a welder that route would…

The Demco coupler part #DM16680-52 that you referenced can be either bolted on or welded on. You would not need to do both to securely install it.

Answer 10

You could drill into the Bulldog #BD028463 and make it a bolt-on but that's not really ideal. We don't have the exact match in a bolt-on model. We do have part #BD44150WH301 for a bolt-on Bulldog coupler. It has a higher rating but the price…

Answer 11

The best option for your trailer is a new trailer coupler as either the latch mechanism is worn or faulty. I strongly recommend against any sort of jerry-rigging here as there is too much at stake for you and the safety of those around you. This…
