Replacement Coupler For a 2017 Grand Design 2670MK with Loose Latch Mechanism

Question

Question:

Hi, Do you have or do they make a repair kit for the CA-5400-B Ram A-Frame Trailer Coupler - Thumb Latch - 2-5/16 Ball - Black - 14,000 lbs? I have a similar hitch on my 2017 Grand Design 2670MK and it seems loose on the ball and I see no adjustment? Thank you very much

I recommend switching to the Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler # 12660-97SP on your 2017 Grand Design 2670MK. I cannot locate anyone who carries a replacement latch mechanism for the A-Frame Trailer Coupler # CA-5400-B. With the Demco you can easily replace the latch with the Repair Kit # DM6008. It is also auto latching so you will only need to open the latch when disconnecting your trailer.

I have a solution for you, but we do not carry Glo-Brite lights, so replacing it with the same brand will not be something I can offer you. Instead, to replace your Glo-Brite 9852-88, I recommend using the Optronics LED Trailer Tail Light #STL72RB.…
