Replacement Actuator Recommendation for Atwood 85778
Question:
What do I hook the electrical wires up to for backing up? I'm not familiar with this setup. I think I need five prong or add another connector for backup. Is that correct?

The best replacement option we offer for an Atwood Surge Brake Actuator 85778 is the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator part # DM62VR. It has the same ball size, offers a bolt-on install, and has a greater capacity. The only functional difference is it has an electric lockout as opposed to a manual one which aren't really used anymore.
