Expert Answers about Chevrolet A-Frame Trailer Coupler
- Replacement for Atwood Yoke Style A-Frame Coupler For 2 Inch Hitch Ball
- Atwood was bought out and their replacement parts are no longer available - including the repair kit you mentioned - so the best option is to replace that A-frame coupler with a new one that attaches to a 2 inch hitch ball.
There is a similar option with a yoke latch, the A-Frame Trailer Coupler # CA-5210-B.
There is a bolt-on option as well if you'd like, the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler with Jack Hole - eZ-Latch # DM14793-81.

- We have verified with the manufacturer previously that there are no repair kits for the Pro Series A-Frame Trailer Coupler with Trigger Latch PSE338050303, so the if you latch is busted that does mean you'll need to get a new coupler.
Thankfully these aren't terribly pricy, and if you want an option for a similar coupler that does have a replacement latch, I recommend the A-Frame Coupler with Black Paint Finish # CA5100B.
This coupler has the same 5,000 lb weight capacity and couples...
view full answer... - Replacement For Cracked Trailer Coupler
- Yes, you need to replace that cracked coupler right away. I'm not sure from the photo what ball size it takes or if you have a straight tongue trailer or A-frame, but get something with a good powder coat or one that is zinc-plated if this is a boat trailer, like the Demco Cast Head Coupler - A-Frame # DM37ZR or Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # DM13203-95.
I have added links below to our selections of both A-frame and straight tongue couplers.

- Yes, the primed finish means you can paint over the red Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler with Jack Hole # DM14793-97.
This coupler, as well as the black # DM14793-81 are A-frame couplers with a 10,000 lb capacity and attach to a 2" hitch ball. If you need a lock as well the best option is the etrailer Adjustable Trailer Coupler Latch Lock # e98883.
I've added links to video reviews for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - What Does No Lockout Mean On the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler
- The lockout feature does not apply to fixed trailer couplers such as the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler w/ Jack Hole part # DM14793-97. The lockout feature only applies to surge brake actuators and the ability to close the proportioning valve so that the trailer can reverse without locking up the brakes.
view full answer... - Can Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler be Used on Car Hauler Trailer
- Yes; your car hauler trailer has to have an A-frame and be within the correct weight rating, but if so you can definitely use the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler # DM14793-52.
The # DM14793-52 has a 10,000 lb capacity so that's the most your loaded trailer can be, but otherwise this will certainly work for a car hauler trailer.
view full answer... - Can I Use A Demco Bolt-On Coupler With A Tubular Trailer Tongue
- That is an interesting question. We do caution against bolting the Demco Coupler # DM14793-81 to a round tube. While you might be able to drill holes and tighten the bolts properly, the concern would be that the body of the coupler is not making full contact with the frame. As you said, they are intended for rectangular or right angle stock steel. With a part of the trailer as important as the coupler, it is an area where we would want to take any risks.
Your best bet would be to take...

Not only is this lock made for this coupler, but it is also extremely strong, with a tested shear strength of 42,000 lbs.

- It can be really tough to find the correct repair kit for a trailer coupler, especially if there are no identifying marks or numbers. I have attached a link to our web page that has the repair kits. You can choose a kit that best matches the components on your trailer. Or you could replace the coupler if nothing looks like it will be a match.
I also attached a link to our website page for the couplers we offer. You will need to know the size of your trailer tongue to select the correct...

- The jack already has a mounting bracket welded to it, as shown in the provided photo. If your trailer does't have a mounting plate, the easiest way to provide a plate would be to replace your coupler with something like # PSE338050303 for a 2 inch coupler, which has an integrated mounting plate for the trailer jack.
view full answer... - Is There 36,000 lb Coupler For 36,000 lb Bulletproof Hitches Ball Mount
- I believe by 36,000 lb ball you are referring to the 36,000 lb rated 2-5/16" ball that is part of the BulletProof Hitches ball mounts such as the 2-Ball Mount for 3" Hitch - 9-1/4" Drop, 8-1/4" Rise # ED308 or 2-Ball Mount for 2-1/2" Hitch - 7-1/4" Drop, 7" Rise # ED256.
There is not a 36k coupler to go along with this that we offer, the highest rated coupler we can provide is 21,000 lbs, such as the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # DM15931-95 or Demco 32-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler...

- I went out to the warehouse and pulled trailer coupler # F44314R0303. I made a video which will appear on this page. I show the bottom of the coupler for you.
The underside has a wedge-shaped steel block and all other components are also steel. Get this guy latched down on a 2-5/16 inch ball and you shouldn't have any problems.

- Yes, the A-Frame Trailer Coupler - Thumb Latch - Black - 2-5/16" Ball - Weld On - 14,000 lbs # CA-5400-B does have enough capacity for a 9,000 lb camper trailer. The 14k capacity is only referring to its towing capacity so the truck weight won't come into play.
view full answer... - Can the B&W Ball BWHB94006 Be Used to Pull a 5th Wheel Trailer with a Gooseneck Coupler?
- The B&W 2-5/16" Hitch Ball w/ 2" Rise - 1-1/2" Diameter x 2-3/4" Long Shank - Raw - 30K # BWHB94006 is typically used with a standard 2 5/16 coupler, like the Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler # 12660-97SP for example. However, it can also be used to pull a 5th wheel camper that has been converted to connect to a gooseneck ball with something like the Reese Goose Box # RP85FR.
With that being said, the # BWHB94006 should not just be attached to the bed of a standard 2005 Ford F-150...

- There is a lock that is going to work very well for your A-60 coupler, which is surround lock from Fastway:
- Fastway Universal Trailer Coupler Lock for 1-7/8", 2" and 2-5/16" Couplers # FA86-0015-320
This will lock out the coupler so the trailer and boat cannot be easily stolen, and its tube key lock cylinder is much more secure than a standard lock cylinder.

- Timbren does not publish CAD drawings for their suspension products like # A20RS545 but I do have a dimensional drawing that I have linked for you. This covers key dimensions and mounting hole spacing. If you visit the product page for this item and scroll down you'll find other helpful diagrams that will aid your installation.
Timbren's Axle-Less suspension units should be installed directly across from one another. Before mounting the units, measure back from the coupler and mark the...

- I called my contact at B&W about the Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler, part # BWTEXA4200.
They told me that the offset holes are so that the adapter can accommodate couplers that have the pin in different locations, and will not affect the towing of your trailer. I have attached a link to a product review video you can check out.
view full answer... - Is There a Life Expectancy for Polyurethane Cushion on Convert-A-Ball Gooseneck Trailer Coupler?
- There is not a stated life expectancy for the polyurethane cushioning on the Convert-A-Ball Multi-Cushioned Gooseneck Trailer Coupler # CG. Like most things, the lifetime of the coupler will last depending on a number of factors such as how and how often it is used. It does have a 2-year limited warranty should there be any issue in that amount of time, though no direct replacement cushioning is available separately.

- The # CAB-C5G Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter can easily be locked by using a padlock like part # ML4140LH.
.
You'd pass the shackle of the lock through the locking handle slot and out the hole in the foot of the coupler. This prevents the coupler from being opened, so it can be used while the trailer is hitched or when it's not. Either way, the lock will help deter theft by making it difficult to unlock the coupler.
view full answer... - Are Set Screw Holes Required to Be Drilled To Hold The B&W Extend-A-Goose Coupler?
- The B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler # BWTEXA4200 should not be drilled into. The coupler sleeve is required to either have 2 set bolts or 1 set bolt if you have a safety through pin to secure it in place on your tube sleeve.
A Master Lock Laminated Steel Padlock # ML1KA can be used to secure the coupler when attached to your tow vehicle. And if you choose to have multiple locks keyed alike you can use them all to secure any locks on trailer as well to have a one key system of locks.
