When installing a trailer coupler like the Etrailer A-Frame Trailer Coupler, part # CA5100B, you want the coupler right up against the edge of the trailer frame.
This coupler is a weld-on coupler for A-frame trailers. I would recommend having a qualified welder or trailer professional install the coupler.
I have linked an FAQ on trailer couplers and all of the A-Frame trailer couplers we have available. view full answer...
The A-frame couplers we carry, like # 12660-97SP, are weld-on applications and cannot be bolted on to a trailer frame. Any welding should be done by a qualified welder in a shop that works on trailers. The coupler you have reference accepts a 2-5/16 inch diameter ball. I have included a link to all of the A-frame coupler options for you to view. view full answer...
Sleeve-Lock A-Frame Trailer Coupler # CA-5296H-B is made for weld-on installation. We do have A-frame couplers that bolt on, like # BD44150WH301 and others shown on the linked page, but none of these is a sleeve lock type.
Drilling the coupler to allow bolt-on installation could result in a reduced capacity. The trouble is that there is no way to know exactly what effect drilling has without actually testing the coupler. The part has never been tested in this way and so you would be in... view full answer...
As long as the frame of the trailer is a 50ยบ A-frame, the Bulldog Heavy-Duty Cast Head Coupler, part
# BD44150WH301 will work regardless of if the trailer frame is constructed of rectangular or square tubing. A weld-on version is also available as part # BD44150W0317.
I've linked to product videos for both couplers mentioned above. view full answer...
In order to install the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler # DM13205-95 you'll need to remove the current one on your Primetime Avenger.

Bulldog Heavy-Duty Cast Head A-Frame 2-5/16-Inch Coupler # BD44150WH301 is intended for standard 50-degree a-frame trailer frames. This unit is a bolt-on item and its rated 15,000-lb capacity is based on it being installed using all mounting holes to evenly distribute forces. If you were to use only 8 of the 10 mounting holes there would be some undetermined loss of capacity. It is not possible to exactly predict this drop in weight capacity. I recommend drilling the additional holes, or... view full answer...
The Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler w/ Jack Hole - eZ-Latch - Primed - 2-5/16" Ball - 21K # 12660-97SP does not have any bolt information, with the reason being that this is a weld-on application and cannot be bolted on.
I did cut out the relevant aspects of the weld-on info that is from the manual. I also added a link to a video review of the weld-on Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler # 12660-97SP. view full answer...
The etrailer A-frame Coupler part # ca5400 is a direct weld-on application. You will weld along the edge of the coupler. I recommend having a qualified welder or trailer professional install the coupler.

The Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler w/ Jack Hole - eZ-Latch - Zinc - 2" Ball - Bolt On - 10K # DM14793-95 will require six 3/8 inch grade 5 bolts which are not included. view full answer...
Most likely when you have the Fulton A-Frame Coupler # F44314R0303 welded to your trailer you will be able to have it installed so that the lower hole for your A-frame jack will line up with the hole of the coupler as most couplers have the jack mounting hole in as universal of a location as possible.
Worst case scenario you would have to have the lower hole moved to match the upper hole of the coupler, but this would be an unlikely situation. view full answer...
Yes, you can use the Trailer Coupler Lock part # e98888 to prevent the hitch ball from coming uncoupled from the Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler part # DM16680-52. The lock will install in the pin hole directly below the latch which you can see in the attached photo. view full answer...
To install the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler # DM16680-52 that you referenced, you will want to use 3/8 inch, grade 5 bolts , approximately 1-1/2 inches long (depending on how you are installing the coupler).

My contact at Demco confirmed with me that claw on the 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler, # DM15337-97, is not adjustable.
The coupler is pre-set from the factory and cannot have the tension adjusted on the locking claw.
If you are having an issue with the coupler latch, then you may need a repair kit. The Demco Latch Repair Kit, # DM5817, will replace the current latch in your Demco coupler.
I have included a video that shows how to replace your current latch with the latch kit. view full answer...
The Demco 32-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler part # DM15633-81 must be welded per the manufacturer. I'm sure you could drill holes and attach the coupler that way but we can't recommend this. The weight capacity would be severely compromised if not welded. The location of the holes and size are all crucial factors that require extensive testing for bolt-on applications which we cannot provide for the above. view full answer...
For your trailer that has the tongue weight of 500 lbs the Reese StraitLine part # RP66083 would be the best choice. The A,B,C coupler style will be determined by you looking at the coupler you have on the trailer. I attached a picture that shows the illustration. Basically you have an A if the coupler attaches to the bottom of the frame, you have a B if your coupler attaches to the top of the frame and it's 6 inches tall, and you have a C if you have a coupler that attaches to the top... view full answer...
I do have an option for you but coupler repair parts aren't universal so if any of the internal latching mechanisms are damaged or worn on your trailer coupler then chances are high it will need to be replaced for which we offer the A-Frame Trailer Coupler part # CA-5210-B. This coupler will need to be welded to the frame for installation so a local shop is likely your best option for replacement. view full answer...

The bolts required to install the Demco 50-Degree A Frame Trailer Coupler # DM13205-95 are 3/8" diameter x 1-3/4" long Grade 5 bolts. I spoke with the manufacturer and they confirmed that you won't want to use Grade 8 bolts on this install since they won't provide enough flex and may end up shearing through the coupler frame or breaking off completely. view full answer...
To mount the Curt Round A-Frame Trailer Jack # C28200 to your trailer you will use 3/8" bolts, which is standard for A-frame jacks and couplers. The length will really depend on your specific trailer frame size, which I wasn't able to track down for your 2020 Karavan Trailer. view full answer...
