Complete Breakdown of the A-Frame Trailer Coupler Video

Unfortunately the Atwood coupler in your picture (appears to be part 88555) has been discontinued so there is not any latch kit or replacement parts available. At this point the only option we can offer is to replace the coupler entirely. The most…

I do have an option for you but Atwood was bought out and their replacement parts are no longer available, including the repair kit you would need. The best option is to replace that A-frame coupler with a new one that attaches to a 2 inch hitch…

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…

Hey Kevin thanks for your question. There is not much downside to going with the 5,000 lb springs instead of the 3,500 lb. A higher rated spring may make the ride a bit more "chunky" at times, since the spring would not flex as easily.…

I'd be more than happy to help you out! If you can measure the hub-face and spring-center measurements of your current axle that will help me know what you're needing. For example, the etrailer Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs #e65GR has a…

The etrailer A-Frame Trailer Coupler w/ Round Jack Hole #CA-5280-RB uses the standard a-frame angle of 50 degrees. The length from the rear of the coupler to where the coupler meets its narrowest point is approximately 9" long. I have include…

To install the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler #DM16680-52 that you referenced, you will want to use 3/8 inch, grade 5 bolts , approximately 1-1/2 inches long (depending on how you are installing the coupler). You will want to use 5 of these bolts per…

I recommend having the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler #DM14791-97 welded on in place of the Sleeve-Lock #CA-5196-B style coupler that you currently have. This Demco coupler uses a 2" hitch ball the same as your current coupler and is rated for up…

We currently have 3 different trailer jack support plates. I have included other dimensions in the included photos except for #BDSPB50 which was not available. #DL22763 is 1/8 inch thick. #BD003135 is 1/8 inch thick. #BDSPB50 is 1/8 inch thick. The…

It would appear that that your 1978 Airstream had the standard 50 degree a-frame style coupler. You can verify this to ensure that the etrailer A-Frame Trailer Coupler #CA-5280-RB will fit correctly on your Airstream. I personally prefer the auto…

I attached a picture that has the dimension of the #BDSPBQ50 that you referenced. I wasn't sure what other plate you were referring to so I grabbed dimensions for the #BD003135 and the #DL22763.

When choosing between the Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double-Eye Springs part #APS1, part #APS2, and part #APS3 it will be best to use the one that has measurements that most closely resemble what is already on your trailer. For example, if…
