Demco Coupler Dimensions For 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer For Fabricated Frame
Question:
Advice needed on A frame trailer couplers... I have fabricated a custom frame for an old Airstream travel trailer. I used 5x3 tubes for the tongue area and cut them straight before meeting them together at 50 degrees. Since they do not come to a point, I am having a hard time finding an A frame coupler that has enough engagement onto the tongue area. Looking for advice on products I am unaware of, or ideas you have seen in the past. I know the couplers don't come to a true point like that, but I wanted to give some sort of reference. Let me know what you think. Could you also send detailed drawings and/or dimensions of item # DM13205-95? Thank you.

Thanks for that photo, I do appreciate it. And all of the couplers we have - and indeed all the ones I am aware of - require a frame that is fully engaged. While Demco was not able to provide a dimensional drawing, we did measure the Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler # DM13205-95.
As you can see it is 17-5/8" long in total, and 8-5/8" behind where the actual coupler portion is.
