The Bulldog coupler part #BD028499 is the same angle as the Atwood coupler you had so it would fit right up to your trailer and work well.

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…

Since the Tandem Axle Jeep Style Trailer Fenders #HP42VR have an aluminum construction, I don't recommend using the Backing Plate #HP72FR with it because the backing plate is made of steel. If you want this same style of fender but you want the…

The etrailer Enclosed Trailer Transition Plate #e32JR will work very well for loading and unloading motorcycles. It has a working load limit of 1,000 lbs so even with your 850 lb bike, you are well within parameters weight capacity wise. Especially…
