I really wish we had replacement parts still for the Atwood couplers but since they've been out of business for so long we don't have any way to get the parts you are wanting.

The Demco Surge Actuator part # DM72VR is a really great option to replace your Atwood coupler. The Atwood couplers had a reputation as being problematic but this Demco is super reliable and overall a better design.
