The Shocker Hitch Air Cushioned Trailer Coupler part # SHK73RR will require an adjustable channel on the trailer in order to mount. An example of this is the Trailer Tongue Vertical Channel Weld-On Adaptor part # SHK95RR which requires removing the old coupler and welding this one on. This setup isn't very common for most travel trailers so if you don't want to do a bunch of modifying to the trailer I recommend going with the Shocker Hitch HD Air Cushioned 2-Ball Mount part # SHK95VR which offers the same benefits as the above but installs on the vehicle so there is no modifying required and it can be used on multiple different trailers.

Please note, there are a few different options for the Shocker Hitch HD Air Cushioned Ball Mount like hitch size and rise/drop requirement so be sure to take a look at the list below to ensure you're getting the correct one.
