In order to get this setup, you want to start with the Lock N Roll Articulating Trailer Hitch for 2" Receivers # 336VS501. This will fit the 2" receiver on the hitch on your vehicle.
For the trailer side, you will need to remove the current coupler and choose the correct Lock N Roll Articulating Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler based on the tongue of your trailer. We have the following options available:

Yes, the TorkLift PowerArmor Locking Battery Box # TLA7708R can easily be mounted to the tongue of your trailer using some self-tapping screws. If the existing holes in the bottom of the box line up with the tongue you can use them or just use the self-tappers to cut through the box and into the tongue.
In the attached video below you can see how Dave mounted the box on the tongue of the trailer he was working on. view full answer...
There are a couple of different ways you can lock the Curt QuickPin No-Latch Trailer Coupler for 2" Ball, either with a standard coupler lock, or you can use a 1/2 inch diameter hitch pin lock, since that is the same size as the pin and clip (though you should always use the pin and clip that come with the coupler when towing and not a lock).
So to lock it you can use any of the following options, depending on what you prefer:

It's not uncommon to have to drill new holes on a trailer tongue to install a new coupler as most couplers have unique bolt hole spacings. That said there isn't an exact dimension I can give you on what you are asking for. Moving the coupler forward on the trailer frame would be what you'd need to do to install new holes. As long as both holes are being utilized and at least an inch away from the old holes (roughly) you'll be fine. You'll have to use your best judgment. view full answer...
The Lock N Roll Articulating Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler item # 336TS528 works great for both highway and off-road applications. This coupler has a 6,000 lbs gross trailer weight so it will be more than capable of handling your 3,500 lbs two wheel camper trailer at highway speeds.
I recommend the Lock N Roll Articulating Trailer Hitch item # 336VS501. This is the vehicle side 2" Receiver and it is rated for up to 11,000 lbs. view full answer...
The Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195225 referenced in your question is designed for mounting hitch accessories and flat towing. The manufacturer states that this product is not rated for towing a trailer. The spare tire carrier does have a tongue weight of 400 pounds and flat towing capacity of 10,000 pounds, but keep in mind that using the carrier will reduce the tongue weight capacity of your trailer hitch by 33 percent.
This is a great option for carrying your spare... view full answer...
TorkLift PowerArmor Locking Battery Box # TLA7712R weighs approximately 14 pounds with a shipping weight of 14.55 pounds. Basically, however you can mount the box will be fine as long as it is secured to the trailer. Installation may or may not require the brackets. view full answer...
Your coupler lock mechanism would not be over-strained doing the standard process for raising the suspension up for installing the spring bars.
The latch is designed to keep the tongue weight of the trailer secured to the ball so it's not flimsy by any means. Trailers are pretty heavy and over bumps the weight on the ball can be thrown around a bit and the latches are there to keep the trailer attached so they are strong. view full answer...
The Optronics 7-Pole Blade to 5-Pole Flat Connector Wired Trailer Adapter - Coiled Cable - 94-1/2" Long # A57CCB will work with your trailer wiring. The 5-way on your trailer will have the reverse light power that will on the trailer connection end connect to the reverse lockout solenoid of your coupler. I've attached a photo of the underside of the coupler that has that reverse lockout wire coiled up underneath. This will electrically stop the fluid flow to allow you to back up your... view full answer...
Although the Lock N Roll Articulating Trailer Coupler for 2" Receivers # 336TS510 has a 5/8" pin hole to secure it to your trailer, you can definitely weld this to your trailer instead. Just be sure the work is done by a qualified welder especially since you'll be going off-road with this style of coupler. view full answer...
Yes, you can use the Fastway Flash 2-Ball Mount with Built-In Scale # FA54FR!
Fastway has rated this for towing up to a 10K trailer with 1K tongue weight so as long as you aren't exceeding those capacities this is more than just a fancy tongue weight scale.
I also recommend securing your investment with the Lock Kit # FA86-00-3660. This locks the shank to your trailer hitch and then the ball platform to the shank so everything is secured!
Attached are some review videos for you to check out. view full answer...
Once the rack is locked into the receiver, the end of the cable with the loop is passed around the shank of the rack near the receiver. Then the end of the cable with the locking tip is passed through the loop, and the cable is pulled snug. The remainder of the cable passes through the bike frames and the end of the cable with the metal tip comes around to connect to the lock threaded onto the cable.
The process is very easy in practice, but difficult to describe in words. Take a look... view full answer...
I reached out to Demco and found that you can disassemble the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # DM13689-52 if you want to powder coat it to match the trailer. If you do disassemble the coupler, the stem screw will need to have the nylon patch removed with a wire brush and then Loctite applied when reassembled.
Alternatively, you can powder coat the coupler while assembled. The Composite handle is powder coat friendly up to 425 degrees. view full answer...
The Trailer Coupler Lock # e98886 prevents the latch of the coupler from opening. So if you installed this lock on the latch of your trailer like in the picture attached to this page someone could lower the coupler onto their ball and the ball would support the weight of the trailer, but the coupler would not be able to secure to the ball.
So basically if the thief were to hit a big enough bump to unload the tongue weight of the trailer it would fall right off. Or if they drove up a steep... view full answer...
There is no mounting hardware included with the Aluminum A-Frame Trailer Tongue Toolbox, item # 350970, due to the different construction and mounting locations that may be required for many different styles of trailers.
I would recommend using a properly sized drill bit to drill 4 mounting holes in the proper locations on your trailer frame. Keep the holes as far to the front, back and sides of the box as possible for the most secure connection. Then use bolts, washers and nylon lock... view full answer...
From the photo you sent, it looks like you have aluminum trailer walls, so the first thing you will want to consider is the strength of the walls. Since the Offset Trailer Spare Tire Carrier, part # DL22120 is designed to be mounted on a trailer tongue or frame, you will want to make sure that the location you choose is strong enough and able to handle the weight.
You will want to consider strengthening the wall by reinforcing with a metal plate on the inside of the wall between the brackets... view full answer...
You will want to put the trailer jack between the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit # FHDPW330300 that you referenced and the frame of the trailer. If you had the jack on the side of the hinge that pivots it would make it unstable and difficult to pivot the tongue of the coupler.
Not only would it make things much more difficult, but the hinge is designed to only support weight when it is locked out straight as both sides of hinge will have support to carry the weight. When the hinge... view full answer...
The Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061 referenced in your question does not have a specific weight capacity. Because it will not be supporting really any weight during towing, there simply isn't a listed weight limit. With that being said, the unit should have no issue supporting any initial weight that might be temporarily applied when setting up your weight distribution system.
As you mentioned, when using this device with a weight distribution system, you will want to position the U-bolt... view full answer...
To install the TorkLift PowerArmor Locking Battery Box # TLA7700L you'll need to use the included self-tapping screws to mount the box to your trailer tongue. You can do this either directly to your frame, using the extension brackets if they are needed, or you can mount this in place of the OEM battery on the OEM battery brackets if that's what your trailer came with.
Attached is a review video for you to check out. I'll also be sending the installation instructions to you in a separate... view full answer...
The Pintle Hook Combo # C48200 can be used for trailers that have a pintle hook setup that use a lunette ring, or for trailers that have a coupler and attach to a hitch ball.
You cannot use the pintle to lock or secure the trailer to the hitch ball. To use the hitch ball, your trailer would need to have a 2-5/16 inch coupler to secure to the hitch ball.
If you have a 2-1/2 inch hitch receiver, you will need to use Pintle Hook Mounting Plate, part # RP45294. If you have a 2 inch receiver,... view full answer...
