Surge Brake Actuator Replacement Recommendation for Atwood Surge Coupler
Question:
Hello I have a faulty brake actuator. I am looking for a replacement for the Atwood 85778. I know they are no longer a company. I need a replacement actuator that will bolt on. Any suggestions? It is a disc brake system with electronic reverse lock out. Thanks

Expert Reply:
The Atwood surge brake actuators are the ones we get the most feedback on with issues. We have the Dexter actuator part # 099-175-20 which will work great as a replacement. This actuator is designed for disc brakes like you need, has an electric reverse lockout and can fit all ball sizes as well.
Titan actuators are very reliable as well.
