Hello Richard,

Great news, the Demco actuator you’re looking for is the right one. The Demco DA86 Trailer Brake Actuator for drum brakes, zinc, 2 inch ball, 8,600 lbs # DM98CV is Demco’s 8668601, so you’re on the correct track.

I totally get wanting to be sure here, choosing the wrong actuator for drum brakes can lead to weak braking or having to redo the setup later. This model is specifically built for drum brake systems and uses Demco’s EZ-Latch coupler, so you’ll get that clean click-on hookup and smoother, no-bang stops when towing.

What kind of trailer are you planning to install this on?

The Demco Hydraulic Trailer Brake Actuator part #DM72VR should be a direct replacement for the Atwood 61101 Brake Actuator that you have now. This newest updated it rated at 7K instead of 6K. This is a bolt on option that mounts on 3" centers.…

Since Atwood went out of business none of their actuator (or other product) replacement parts are available unfortunately, so your only real option to having a working actuator is to replace the entire unit. I am attaching a link to our selection of…

Is your trailer sitting as level as possible? Sounds like it could be sitting possibly nose high and combined maybe with a bit of play in the ball mount is creating the slamming you are experiencing. It's also possible your surge actuator has a…

Answer 12

The reason there are different actuators for disc brakes and drum brakes is the psi the brakes operate at. Disc brakes operate at a higher psi than drum brakes and either too much or too little pressure can cause damage to the brakes. There are units…
