  • Locks for Use with Titan Zinc-Plated Straight-Tongue Coupler T4853100
  • Yes, a coupler lock can be used on the Titan Zinc-Plated Straight-Tongue Coupler # T4853100. If you want to secure the trailer when it is not hitched, you can use the etrailer.com Coupler Lock # e98894 or the similar # e98895. Both of these prevent someone from hitching to your coupler. If you prefer a coupler latch lock you can use # 2847DAT from Master Lock. This type of lock works with the trailer coupled or not.

  • Can the Mount-n-Lock GennyGo Generator and Cargo Carrier be Installed on a Trailer Tongue
  • I guess if your trailer tongue is 4", 4-1/2", or 6" squared then the Mount-n-Lock GennyGo Generator and Cargo Carrier # MNT77FR could technically fit, but this was designed and tested for being installed on the bumper of an RV. If you were to install this on a trailer tongue then your load would be putting force perpendicular to the brackets as opposed to in line. Since this wasn't tested in this manner I only recommend using this on the bumper of your RV. The only kind of tray that we...

  • Lock N Roll Hitch Assembly for 5 Inch Drop
  • The correct Lock N Roll hitch assembly is going to depend on the size of the channel the coupler of your trailer sits on. You need about a 5" drop, and the closest is going to be the 4-1/2" drop Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch for 2" Receivers - 4-1/2" Drop/Rise - Vehicle Side # 336VS517. Being 1/2" away from perfectly level is not going to be an issue, and in order to secure the Lock N Roll to your hitch you need the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98880. After that you just need to know...

  • Multiple Trailer Coupler Locks That Can Be Keyed Alike
  • I do have a trailer coupler lock that can be keyed alike but the Master Lock Trailer Coupler Lock part # ML389DAT cannot. Instead, you will want to use the Fastway Universal Trailer Coupler Lock part # FA86-0015-318 which can be keyed alike and will work on 1-7/8", 2" and 2-5/16" trailer couplers. This is currently the most cost effective trailer coupler lock we have that can be keyed to match one another. I have attached a review video of the Fastway coupler lock for you as well.

  • A-Frame Trailer Box to Fit Batteries on Tongue of Trailer
  • The DeeZee Specialty Series Trailer Tongue Toolbox # DZ91716 may be what you're looking for. It measures 34 inches long in the back, 16 inches long in front, 14-1/4 inches wide and 18 inches tall. It's a 3.71 cubic foot box that locks and comes with two keys. Since you're going to be storing batteries in it you'll want some sort of ventilation. An idea is to install a vent like # HMAV2-AVT2 into the box. You won't have any issues fitting your batteries inside but you'll need to measure...

  • How To Carry A Generator On A Camper Trailer
  • I may have an option for you but It is not a good idea to cut the tongue of the camper and elongate it. It will affect the structural integrity and the tongue weight of the trailer especially if you add a generator to the tongue. It sounds like you have a pole tongue but if you happen to have an A-frame trailer you can use Stromberg Carlson Trailer Tray Cargo Carrier for A-Frame Trailers - 300 lbs part # CC-255 to mount the generator above the propane tanks. If you have a pole tongue...

  • What Hardware is Needed To Install Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator On Trailer Tongue
  • To bolt the Titan Model 20 to your trailer tongue you want to use 2- 5/8" by 4" grade 5 bolts, nuts and lock washers. If the tongue is a light weight tongue (narrower than 3" wide) you want to use spacer tubes inside for reinforcement when bolting on the actuator. I have attached a diagram of the standard mounting bolt pattern.

  • Compatibility of Roadmaster Black Hawk Tow Bar with Curt Dual Hitch Receiver
  • The Curt Dual 2" Receiver Tube Adapter, 8" Extension # D-192 is made for use with a tow bar like the Roadmaster Black Hawk 2 # RM-422. The adapter will decrease the tongue weight rating of the trailer hitch on your RV by 50%, but flat towing does not take much tongue weight, so the only safety concern is if the accessory in the top receiver is within the 50% reduced tongue weight of the trailer hitch on your RV. I recommend using hitch locks like # e98882 to secure these parts and these...

  • Adapter to Tow Trailer & Carry Motorcycle

  • Hitch Pin/Lock Needed For Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # DM15931-95
  • For the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # DM15931-95 you will need the Coupler Pin # 37201281 to ensure the hitch ball does not come unlatched while towing. You can also use the Lock # e98888 for additional security. The Pin # 37201244 you found only has a usable length of 2-9/16" and you need a minimum of 3" to fit your coupler. Also with the coupler pin opening of 5/16" you will not want to use a 5/16" pin as the pin is more likely to get stuck due to corrosion.

  • Can Hydraulic Surge Brake Actuator be Locked Out for Electric Brake Conversion
  • The Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # DM12717 and other tongues like it are meant to be mounted on the outside of the frame. None of our couplers will fit a 3-1/2" frame so it would be better (and more cost-effective) to just lock out your older hydraulic coupler. We do have everything that you need to convert your trailer from hydraulic to electric brakes. I have attached a helpful article that shows everything you need. If you let me know what size axle(s) you have I can make some...
